Forever Dead (On Hold)

Chapter Forty Three

Ed's P.O.V

It didn't take long before I found something familiar, well someone familiar. Dylan, one of Kat's friends and I couldn't have been happier.

"Ed thank god you're here" My heart began to beat faster, is Kat alright? Did something happen to her? I began to freak out and Julie had no idea why.

"What!? Why what's wrong" I exclaimed trying to keep my panic low. Dylan didn't say anything just stared at me like I had an extra head. "Dylan you dick, what the fuck has happened" My panic slipped through my emotionless shield. The amount if panic I felt slowly turned into rage.

He simply shrugged his shoulders and walked off at a fast pace, motioning for us to follow. I was confused but I didn't stop to think. I quickly ran after him, Julie hot at my heels.

"What's wrong?" She questioned as i tugged at her arm, she began to slow and I wasn't prepared to stop. Her calm voice would have been enough to send me to sleep if my mind wasn't fixed on Kat and her safety.

"I don't know" I replied truthfully, Dylan said nothing so how was I supposed to know?

Kat's P.O.V

"Kat come out of there" Eloise pounded on the door to the room I had locked in. I had hidden myself away to escape the questions and to just think. I sighed heavily i felt so stupid.

"Kat please" Dylan begged. I shook my head even though they couldn't see it. I only just noticed that no one else was talking to ne or persuading me to come out. That hurt. "Kat please, we can help you" He resorted into begging me to leave, did he really worry that much? Well I would be because I’ve locked myself in here for a while and I won't talk to anyone. To be fair they have all rights to worry.

I waited for the calling to stop before I moved anywhere. I began to pace, an unhealthy habit that i have gotten myself into. I only ever paced when i needed to clear my mind but if anything it made it worse.

"Kat, come out of there" A new voice one i remembered so vividly. His voice was so soft and filled with concern; it made my legs feel weak. Ed was here and he was concerned about me. "Please, I don't ask you much but just..."He never finished his sentence he simply slipped away, leaving me with such a bitter silence.

What was he going to say?

Alan's P.O.V

The night flew by and even in the darkness did we find some items if use: An old torch, a mouldy loaf of bread, tons of unopened bottled water, hundreds if tins and a few items worthy of being weapons. Ryan avoided me for a majority of it all; ordering people to do as he says. I always thought that Kat was bad but my god was I wrong. She was passive compared to her brother.

I shook the thought off as I crept outside, a new dawn, a new day. A cheesy line I know but hey who give a crap? I for one don’t and anyway it’s my head I can think whatever I like.

“Backshaw you dick, get back in here” I frowned; wow I’m out here for what a second already I was being called back in by Megan. I shook my head, there was nothing about so I was fine. I turned to face the groggy woman that was calling me before, her hair was a mess and I couldn’t help but let a few chuckles out. “Didn’t you hear me, get back in” She called angrily pointing towards the building. I sighed heavily yet took a step forwards. A loud bang fires and an agonizing pain was felt in my left air.

“Fuck” I shouted, looking down to my arm, there was a bullet hole; there was nothing else it could be. I stared in shock at the blood pouring from the hole. “Everyone run” I called to the group that were slowly awaking. Ryan appeared in the Window with a scowl on his face. Not the morning person huh?

“Why the fuck are you shouting?” he called, looking between me and Meg, her face as white as a sheet. She was clearly scared by what happened and I was too. “What’s wrong with her?” He called, walking calmly over to her. I turned to answer when yet another shot was fired this time at Ryan. I instantly pushed him out the way but that didn’t mean we weren’t hit.

The bullet skimmed past his arm and lodged in my side. Instantly shouts were heard and a group of men appeared in the distance, all carrying guns. This couldn’t be good.

“We have to go” I called, pushing off the ground and stumbling over to Meg so I could help her collect herself. “We have to go…” My gaze moved to face the new arrivals that were now storming towards us, shouting and hollering like maniacs. “Like now, we need to move” I shouted pushing Meg slightly to get her moving. I wasn’t going to let anyone die that easily, not when I can save them.

The pain in my arm was settling but nothing could compare to the pain in my side. I held my hand to it, trying to stop the bleeding by the pressure. This won’t be awkward, I thought as I began to run awkwardly. I never thought it would be so hard to run with just one arm. Another round of shots was fired and a wave of screams was heard from a few members of our group as bullets skimmed past. I turned back for a brief moment and my eyes widened.

Kyle collapsed to the floor, a pool of blood forming around him. I stopped dead in the middle of the street and so did Lamim. This couldn’t be happening, I can’t lose a friend to these bastards. “Fuck” I muttered under my breath bringing a hand through my hair, all thoughts and worries of dying there and then were forgotten as the death of my friend was far more important.

“We can’t leave him” Lamim cried, kneeling down beside his friend, checking for a pulse but to no avail.

“As much as I agree with you, and I would never ditch Kyle but right now he has become a health risk, he could turn into one of them or we could get killed by one of those psychotic maniacs. We need to go” My attempts at reasoning were subtle but even so it was enough to get Lamim to move with the rest of the group.

“That was close” I nodded in agreement, I didn’t want anyone to die, this just made life so much worse. All I wanted was to be back at home and even though school was a pain it was nothing compared to the torture I have to face through daily.

Meg's P.O.V

Thanks to Alan we got away from the men that were trying to kill us. All I could think of was if they had found Kat and Dylan or if they were part of that insane group. My mind begged for them to be alright but ever since I witnessed Alan being shot, twice I was physically shaking in fear. I didn’t like Alan, I hated him but I hated death and even him dying would be a burden.

I sunk low to the floor, hiding my grubby face in my even dirtier hands. What was happening to my life? I used to be such an intimidating person and now I’m a pussy. Kat’s even braver than I am at this moment and she is such a coward at times and now she’s a fucking killing machine, killing anything. I may be exaggerating but I felt like absolute shit, I would kill to have Kat and Dylan by my side at this moment.

“Hey are you alright?” Rachel asked me quietly, I nodded my head. I was just tired? No I was scared, I could have been shot. I’d shot myself in the head with a toy gun because Kat wouldn’t and god that hurt but that’s not really anything like it.

“Yeah I’m cool” I lied. I was so not cool, I was far from it. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. But I don’t want the attention so this is good to. I stared up at the doorway as both Lamim and Alan appeared both looking out of breath and distraught.

“Whoa, what’s up with you guys?” G asked, moving over to the two boys that were now constantly exchanging looks. We all waited for a moment for one to speak, hoping that they would share the news or they were hoping we could tell what was wrong telepathically. “Hello, answer me” she called, waving a hand in between the two of them.

“Kyle” Lamim stuttered, he looked on the verge of tears, I stood up, what was it about Kyle? “He was shot” I stared in shock, I never noticed until they had said but Kyle wasn’t trailing at their heels and was no longer in the group. I gave them apologetic looks but it was just another loss.
