Locked In

Chapter 8

Scarlett's POV

"No, no" I yelled. "YOU ARE NOT OUR FRIEND, AND YOU WILL NEVER! YOU HELPED THAT PSYCHO STAB CONNOR!" I yelled. "YOU ARE A TRAITOR AND YOU WERE NEVER OUR FRIEND! AND YOU WILL NEVER BE!" I banged the glass on the mirror, we couldn't get out. The TV turned on once more. 'Come on, help me.' Raven was flirting and winking at all of the boys in our class. Nadia was following behind her, as the two 'friends' were walking down the hallways at school. 'Come on Nadia, bring me a knife!' Nadia looks really scared. 'O-okay, I'm sorry.' Nadia gave Raven a pocket knife as she hid it in her bag. 'Don't. Tell. Anyone.'.

"So what the hell are you saying?! You don't wanna be my assistant anymore?!" Raven boomed. "I thought I was your FRIEND! We did everything together! I helped you but you never help me and you never respect me!!" Nadia and Raven were having some type of argument. "Tsk, tsk tsk. You were never my friend. You were just helping me with my plans." Raven snapped her fingers as Nadia was gone in an instant. Where the hell did she go?! The next recording shows Nadia roaming Connor's lost world. 'Connor, help me.' Connor was helping Nadia stand up. 'I'm lost here.'

Wanting to be Raven's friend again, she was secretly writing down the things Connor told her about which were secrets about his whole made up world, and giving them to Raven. She had a plan to help Raven escape. Nadia made loads of brochures to go to the prison but she casted some sort of protection spell with the help of Connor to secure the island, so no one can see, and she slipped them inside Jennie's locker somehow. That's how we got here. Nadia. It was all because of her.

"Well, well, well, you watched everything that's happened huh?" A low, raspy voice asks us. Raven came out of the shadows, a sickening smile forming on her face. Blood dripping from her pure white eyes. "I can't get my revenge on Connor. Not just yet. So I'm gonna-kill you!" She screamed as she took a knife and dashed our way, before we knew it, strong hands pulled us out from the mirror. "GO! GO! GO!"

We dashed outside and into our bedrooms, giving us enough time to change into our ordinary clothes. "I told you not to go in there!" Connor snapped at us once we were outside. "Sorry, I heard Jake's voice." Jennie whispers. "Connor," Raven was crawling the ceiling, her head turning in a 180 degree angle. "Oh s-" She came down from the ceiling as she held on to Connor's leg. "Be with me forever my love."

"Stop!" It was Nadia's voice. "I can't let you harm them Raven. Be my friend, we can be in peace." Raven darkly chuckles. "No." She says as she enters Nadia's body. "RAVEN! I WON'T LET YOU GET IN ME!" Nadia was basically having an argument with herself. "Run! Before she escapes-I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Nadia. I mean, Raven in Nadia's body dashed towards us, carrying the knives she carried before. We all ran down the stairs, meeting Aiden, Gerard and Jackson. Each of them having a gun and handing at least one to me, Jennie and Khloe. "I can't use a gun!" Jennie yelled. Connor held her wrist and headed towards the staircase. "Just remember Call of Duty."

"RUN! GET OUT!" Oh no. We all raced the top of the long, long staircase. Adrenaline was pumping in me so I was rushing to get to the top, I didn't want to die. Not like this. The staircase was crumbling each step we took, until we reached the top, the whole staircase collapsed. We were safe now. We ran out of the huge rock to the circle of dead grass. We were safe. She was still there in the crumbling staircase. "We're safe guys." Connor says as he was panting heavily. "Or are you?"

Lana's POV

"We're here." The savannah area was tinted with blue, and hits of purple. We went inside the prison and followed a trail of blood to a huge hole. We jumped in and now we're all here. "Guys, who's that?" Liam pointed to nine figures in the distance near a patch of dead grass in a perfect circle. "Oh my gosh! It's them! That's them! Is that, Connor?!" We all looked through the distance. Jason used his telescope to see who they were. "Yeah it's them. Connor, Aiden, Jackson, Gerard, Jennie, Scarlett, Khloe, Nadia and Raven." With our supplies on our backs, we ran to them, but I stopped them on a hill. "What the hell Lana? They're all there."

I took the materials out, as I set it properly on the hill. "Everyone choose three weapons. I have some more if they run out." They all look at me with wide eyes. "How the hell did you even managed to carry this stuff? More importantly, how did you get it? How did you even get a grenade?!" Abby asked. I shrugged. "I have my ways, I guess." I chuckled. "A magician never reveals her secret." I chose a rifle, a butcher knife and a tazer. Okay, and maybe I might have brought a meat cleaver knife too. Just in case. Okay and maybe I got a handgun in my back pocket, and a dagger in my front pocket and a single grenade in my jacket. "Let's go save our friends-" Jake cut me off. "And girlfriend."

"SCARLETT! JENNIE! KHLOE!" Amy shouted. Well, great tactic Amy. Raven turned her head to us. Oh my Lord she was horrifying. We all ran down the hill with our weapons pointed at her. "You can't harm me." She hisses. She snaps her head 180 degrees to face Jake. "Jake! Oh my God!" As she goes near him, Jennie stands in front of Jake. "He's mine." Raven grabbed Jennie's neck as she tries to posses her. "Sorry Jennie!" I threw a handful of salt at her face as Raven stopped trying to posses Jennie.

"Well, then there's another. Liam." As Raven dashed towards Liam, Olivia and I threw handfuls of salt at her as her ghostly skin started burning and peeling off. "AGHHH! FOOLS!" The sky became dark and lightning boomed.

Scarlett's POV

Rain water poured down from the sky and flowed down Raven's face. Her dark hair stuck around her neck and forehead, almost covering her eyes. She looks up, we get a clear view of her milky white skin peeling off. It was horrifying.

She seemed distracted, like in a trance. She was looking at us, all of us, somehow. While she was completely distracted, I threw a handful of sand, some landing on her eyeballs, the rest on her face. The face burned off her already peeled-off skin. She covers her burning face with her hands. She falls to the ground, still covering her face and yelling out for help, although she knows no one will help her.

"Everyone to the circle!" Connor points to the dead circle. All of us surround the perimeter of the circle, hand in hand. "Will she kill us?" I asked Connor, "No, we have weakened her enough. All we need to do now is to transport her into a blank, new universe for her to build. Like how I build mine," Connor explained.

Raven slowly gets up, despite her scratched-up knees and shins. Still covering her face, of course she couldn't see. She walks into the circle like a drunk person. She crashes through Olivia and Meredith, who were holding hands. She falls exactly in the middle of the circle.

Raven opens her eyes, feeling a presence around her. Once her hands were away from her face, tears formed in her eyes and ran down her cheeks. She winced at the pain of her salty tears touching her burned cheeks. "Your fault! Jennie! Khloe! Scarlett! I thought you were all my friends!" Raven cries out, "But, how could you be friends with Connor? We were friends!"
I cringed at her words. "We were never friends," I started, " All you brought was fear and terror into all our lives. What kind of person would even forgive you after you stabbed your own love in front of many eyes?! Who could even stay sane while being friends with you?"

"Not only you stabbed Connor, you're just insane in general. You could even do that to your best friend!" Jennie yells, small tears running down her face. By now, almost everyone was crying, "I'll never forgive you."
