Kellin

"Don't worry," Shay says to Austin as Alex eyes him. "Everything will be fine, just go."

Austin sighs, running his fingers through his hair. "Yeah, all right, we'll be back."

Alex pulls his hood up and follows Austin out as Shayley smiles in achievement.

I divert my attention as he disappears into the house. After a couple minutes of silence I begin to worry because he never stays silent for long.

"If you honestly think I'm moving from this couch you're dead wrong," I hear Tay say as I step down the stairs to the lower floor.

"Oh come on, it will be good for both of you, not being cramped up in this house," Shayley says.

Lynn has a stone cold glare the whole time Shayley stands in front of them.

Tay looks at her and Lynn's features immediately soften.

"He has a point," Tay says. "Maybe we should get out, even if it means me actually moving for once," she adds, giggling a bit.

Lynn sends Shayley another glare before agreeing with Tay, but Lynn has a look like she knows something.

Within minutes they're both gone and Shayley turns to me as I still stand at the bottom of the stairs.

"Now for you," he mutters.

I stumble backwards and trip on the stairs landing hard on my butt.

He roughly grabs me by the wrist and pulls me up.

The last thing I remember is a sharp prick in the neck and hitting my head, hard, on the corner of the wall.

Alan

I lay on the bed with my legs propped up, staring at the ceiling. It's been a week and nothing has happened in the past week and Shayley has made no moves.

Suddenly the door flies open, hitting the wall behind it roughly. Looks like I spoke too soon. Shayley stalks in the room and leans against the bed frame with a mischievous smile.

I sit up to face him, and all he does is smile wider, revealing his fangs.

"I'm going to make you regret ever being created," he says slowly, taking a step closer. "Everyone is gone and I drugged Kellin to a point where I don't even know if he'll wake up. So let's have some fun."

My eyes go wide and I jump up on the bed, trying to get away from him.

A sick feeling churns in my stomach as he grins, showing his fangs.

He leans forward grabbing my wrist and pulling me. I loose my footing on the thin sheets and lurch forward, hitting the bedframe and falling to a heap on the carpet.

He grabs me by the collar of my shirt and pulls me up roughly. He pushes my up against the wall and grabs my shoulder holding me in place.

He slams me against the wall with a sickening grin.

Lynn

"Something's up, we need to go," I say, grabbing Tay's hand. "Shayley is up to something."

"Oh come oooonnnn," Tay whines, crossing her arms across her bump. "You can't get me dressed up and drag me out just to drag me right back in." She messes with her hood, pushing her hair out of her face.

"I'm worried about Alan. We literally just left him all alone with the one person that hates him the most and positively wants him dead," I say.

"Kellin's there."

"Kellin," I say in almost monotone nodding at her. "What in the hell is Kellin going to do to help?"

"What about Jack, where's he?" She asks.

"With Zack and Rian, getting aquatinted to not being locked in a five by five cage and living a real life," I say.

She groans and tilts her head back.

"Fine, let's go."

We run- well she kinda waddles while I speed walk to stay slow at her place.

We walk into the large house and I hear a muffled bang come from almost two floors above.

"Y'know, I'll leave this one to you," Tay mutters, sitting down​.

I nod, expecting that answer before running up the stairs.

I stalk down the hallway, trying not to be heard, but when I get close enough I see a hand and part of an arm laying limp out of Alan's room.

Uh oh.

I walk faster and round the corner to find the smaller ginger boy laying on his back with his head lulled to the side and blood seeping into the carpet.

Both his eyes are blackened and blood pours out of his nose and a deep purple bruise lines the side of his face from where he hit a wall or something. There's scratches, cuts, and bruises that line his arms and collarbone.

The rise and fall of his chest and shallow and I hear footsteps on the other side of the room.

I step over Alan and walk into the room just to see Shayley look up quickly and go pale at the sight of me. He has scratches and bite marks lining his arms and some scratches on his face from Alan trying to free himself, but from the looks of it, it didn't work out too well on his part.

I walk over, shoving him to the ground and kneeling to his level, leveling my claws with his throat.

"What happened, and know, if you lie I will watch the life drain out of your eyes with your esophagus in my hand."

"Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, care to explain what's going on," Austin's growls from somewhere behind me.

I don't budge, I just glance behind me to see Alex kneeled down next to Alan with a frantic look on his face.

"I think it's time for a little meeting," I growl, forcing Shay to his feet by the front of his shirt.

"You're kinda scary, ya?" Shayley says as I keep a death grip on his wrist while dragging him downstairs.

A few minutes later I glance around the living room we're all in. Shayley is next to me, not daring to move. Austin is standing with his arms crossed and Tay is sitting with a bowl of ice cream.

"I think it's time we figure everything out," I say with a growl.

I kinda feel bad for making Shayley so awful but a story's a story 🙃
