The infinite end

Chapter 13-Regrets

That moment, Thaddeus took the laptop, and my hand, and we ran in the opposite direction, finding a door, to our surprise. It was a really dark small room. We locked the door fast, and stood there. I started crying. I really was afraid, for the first time. Thaddeus was holding me, and playing with my hair so I could calm down. I kept on crying, and he suggested sitting down. He hold me until I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were still in that room, and he was sleeping. I woke him up, and made him use his lantern. The room was totally empty. We decided to get out and see where the psycho is. We opened the door and then closed it silently, and we saw the psycho standing on that chair, probably sleeping. That moment, my knee started hurting, I fell down, waking him up. Thaddeus raised me up and started running. We only stopped next to a wall. The psycho was behind us holding a gun. I started crying, Thaddeus let me down, and hugged me. I saw Mike, approaching, and I had a weird look on my face. The psycho turned around, saw Mike, shoot up and ran away. We did that too. It turned out to be the worst idea ever. When we got out, there was a letter on the bunker's door, saying that we all had our shot to find something out, but ruined it, and we weren't the only ones to go into a bunker. Now that we had the laptop, all we had to do was a flash, so everyone could come and see it. We ran somewhere further, so the psycho can't catch us. When everyone joined us, we went back to the campsite. We sat down on our clothes,in a circle, I went in the middle, holding the laptop. When I opened it, the wallpaper glitched, and some screen saying "Password required" appeared.

Meredith: Guys, that's weird. Come and check it out.

Audrey: Oh snap! 

Cassidy: That's some really bad luck. 

Audrey: Guys, who is good at computers?

Mike: I'm here, hacker level 1000! Let me look. Yep, encrypted files. It may last longer than expected, but I can do it.

Meredith: Wait, what language is that?

Mike: Just computers stuff. I have to start to work. You go to sleep, I can handle it.

The rest of us went to sleep, except Mike. He was trying to hack into the computer. In the morning he was still working, with no result. I don't know what was in my mind, but I needed a walk. I headed straight to the forest, all on my own. I felt controlled. I was thinking about my life before, my family, everything. My concerns about ever getting back grew bigger and bigger. We absolutely had no chance of getting back home, or even getting out of that sinkhole or whatever it was. I was thinking of any legit reason that psycho could have. It couldn't be one of us. No possible teenager could've been that sick or even that smart to make all those underground bunkers, to make everything seem like an accident, to even kill someone. My toughs had been interrupted by Audrey, who came after me. She sat next to me on the tree stomp, that was  big enough to fit us both and we started talking.

Audrey: So, what are you doing?

Meredith: Contemplating. Basically, existing for an unknown reason. What about you?

Audrey: Same. What were you contemplating about? Like, when I came.

Meredith: The psychopathic cunt chasing us. Nothing much.

Audrey: I am worried too. I think all of us are. Do we even have any clue about it?

Meredith: He's probably male, judging the strength, and he is smart, but that doesn't help us at all. He is an adult, for sure, I say that because no tee-

I was interrupted again, this time, by Cassidy and Sun, who came to check us both.

Cassidy: Sharing clues about the psycho, don't you?

Audrey: Yeah, something like this. Join us. 

Sun: Cassidy, should we tell them too?

Cassidy: That's why we came here, Sun. We think Marcel is the killer. He has paper in his backpack, that looks exactly like the one from the letters. Remember what he said in the 9th grade? "I won a knotting contest in middle school. I now how to make any type of knot" and remember Kyle? He was hanged, by a tree few meters away.

Meredith: That explains the strength. He weights a few tones.

Sun: And he chased Ethan twice. He always had a thing for Ethan because he was the only guy from our classroom to ever be nice to him.

Cassidy: He has the reasons too.  We were always bullying him. That's because he is a stupid fat retarded guy with a terrible smell, but we still were. 

Audrey: Omg, that makes a lot of sense. Should we let the others know?

Cassidy: No, Audrey! Let me feed my pleasure of making people suffer! Tonight, I want to chase him and kill him with my bare hands.

Meredith: If he is the psycho, that explains those baggy clothes. It all makes a lot of sense now.

Cassidy: Audrey, Meredith, Sun, are you in? 

Audrey: I have a plan. We might chase him first, see where he goes when he wakes up, if he does, stop him, intimidate him, listen to him, and kill him if it's the case. 

Cassidy: If not, kill him anyway.

Meredith: I agree with Audrey. We have to listen to him before.

Cassidy: Why?

Sun: Because I don't want to kill someone who is not guilty, that's why.

Cassidy: You are no fun.

Meredith: Let's tell one or two boys. We can't do this on our owns.

Sun: I totally agree. We are pure ladies for fuck's sake. That fucker may hurt us.

We went back to the campsite and spent the rest of the day as normal. Everyone was surrounding Mike to see if he did anything to the laptop. We called him and Thaddeus some steps further, with the laptop.

Mike: If you want to ask me if I found anything, I didn't. Marcel wanted to help me, but he was about to broke it forever with his stupidness.

Cassidy: We were right all along.

Thaddeus: What?

Meredith: We think Marcel is the psycho and we want to chase him tonight. Since we are girls and he is bigger than the whole campsite, we need males.

Cassidy: And we tough you may know some males.

Audrey: Cassidy, this is serious.

Meredith: Are you in?

Thaddeus: I don't know about Mike, but I really am in. 

Mike: I am in too. We can use the laptop to bait him. 

Cassidy: Here's the plan: Audrey and Meredith, you have to distract him when he comes in the forest, set up an act, pretend to be scared. If he tries to hurt you, the boys will defeat you. The four of you will surround him, make him stay calm for as long as you can, get enough mental proof of him being the psycho. It it's the case, me and Sun come and kill him.
