Heaven And Hell

Chapter 18: I'm not killing you!

PJ's PoV

I can't move!

One minute everything is fine and then we see Charlie and everything goes black. I could hear distant noises before my vision came back.

It was like my body was possessed because I couldn't move, speak, feel or do anything. My vision was tinted red and blurry before my eyes adjusted.

I was standing next to Chris, he had his hands on Charlie's neck, pinning her to the wall.

"Hello Chris," she stated to Chris and a humourless laugh left his lungs. It wasn't like the usual soft chuckle that left his mouth whenever anybody made a joke.

"Goodbye Charlie." He replied and an evil cackle left my lips before my arm was moving to punch her in the jaw.

She wasn't fighting... Like she knew this would happen.

Chris's grip tightened around her neck as I continued to punch her. She was crying now with streams to sadness running down her bruised cheeks. It becoming harder to breathe. Her face was slowly losing it's colour as blood and tears spilled.

I quickly glanced at Phoebe to see that she was trying to explain to Dan that if he stopped us he would get taken over.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the monster inside from hurting Charlie.

Dan's POV

"We can't just stand here and watch!" I shouted as Phoebe told me not to help.

"We have to but you have to let me explain..." she stated while pushing me backwards.

Phil was holding me back so he must know what Phoebe wanted to say but I needed to help Charlie. I'm not letting this future come true.

I looked past Phoebe and saw Charlie looking straight at me. She seemed to get an idea and pushed Chris and PJ of of her.

"Dan listen to me!" she shouted running away from the demons.
"I know what's going on! Follow me!"

I pushed Phil off me and kissed him just in case. Then I ran after saying I love you and him doing the same.

I ran past Chris and PJ, catching up to Charlie quickly. We sped up and ran towards a black box like the one I woke up in.

Charlie opened the door and we ran in before locking it again. Chris and PJ were shouting and banging on the door.

"Charlie Thomas, Phoebe woods, Grace woods, Matrix moon, Hazel Valdez..." she muttered under her breath writing down the names.

"What are you doing?" I asked walking over to her.

"Hold this in your hand when you kill me and hold Phil's hand aswell. Chris and PJ will disappear before you get possessed and then come kill me." she said quickly and I shook my head.

"I'm not killing you!" I stated and she looked at me with pure sadness running down her face in a river of tears.

"It's the only way we'll get out of this hell Dan. After you kill me you'll wake up."

"What?!"

"I had a flash of a vision and it was you and Phil in hospital beds. You didn't die! You're in a really fucked up coma! Please Dan it's my last chance..."

"What do you mean it's your last chance? Me and Phil died! Chris and PJ died! You died!"

"No Dan, this is all in a coma. You and Phil will wake up as soon as you've killed me. Chris and PJ didn't die, they will wake up from a dream. Phoebe, Grace, Matrix and Hazel will all wake up not remembering a thing... Me, you and Phil will be the only ones the remember all of this."

"So... I kill you when I'm possess and then we'll all wake up?" I asked trying to process all the information.

"Exactly, except they will all think it's a dream while we all wake up from comas." she said calming down a bit now.

"Okay... So what happens now?" I asked wanting to know the plan so I can mentally prepare for killing a friend.

"Me? I'm going to go out their and let them chase me back to Phil. You? You can follow along and save me before getting possessed and killing me." she explained and walked over to the door.

I nodded feeling myself grow sick from all the blood and the thought of killing a friend.

Charlie gave me one last small smile before running out of the door. Chris and PJ running not long after and then I followed them.

---

"Keep that paper Dan!" Charlie shouted and I heard it but my demon was too busy chasing her.

I'd tried my hardest to take control of the demon but after I got possessed all my energy was drained. Chris and PJ had disappeared like Charlie said but Phil and Phoebe were close by.

Both of Chris's and PJ's demons had took over my body so it was even harder. I watched as my demon closed Charlie in a corner.

Phil was huddled in a corner trying not to help. Phoebe was calming him down while watching the scene unfold. I wanted so badly to be the one to help Phil but I couldn't.

I looked back at what my body was doing, beating the shit out of Charlie okay then... Feeling even more sick I looked away. Or atleast tried to...

Looking back at Phil, I'd saw that he'd started crying. I craved to hold him and calm him down. We'd been separated and now I've turned into this monster.

Without thinking I'd somehow managed to stop my demon and turn towards Phil.

"Phil..." I managed to say. He looked up at me with pure shock as well as Phoebe.

I felt different, I could move my body again. Did I just take control of the demon or has it been passed onto someone else?
