The Altercations with 24

He's Coming for You

Casey froze, unsure what to do. They were all staring at her, the confusion and hate in their eyes. Tiffany was still crying on the floor. 

"Answer the damn question." David commanded. Casey looked into the camera again and then back to the impures.

 "I've always had it." She answered. 

"Why didn't you tell us? Or use it on him?!" Abigail asked frantically. 

"Why didn't he take it away from her is the better question." Justin said. 

"What would be the point in that?" Casey snapped, trying to buy herself sometime. "I use it, he goes down, on the OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE DOOR!" Casey made sure to shout that last part.
 "And then who knows what he would have done to us?" Casey asked them, making sure to plant doubt in their head. 

"We could have come up with a plan if you had told us!" Lisa yelled. 

"Yeah? And how well have all your other plans worked?" Casey snapped. Lisa fell quiet. 

"Why didn't he take it from her?" Jesse asked the others, ignoring Casey. 

"I don't know. I don't know how that Beast thinks." Casey told her, giving a brief look at the camera. 

"Maybe you're his partner." David accused.

"Maybe he put you in here to keep an eye on us." Lisa said, adding onto his theory. 

"That's ridiculous." Casey said. 

"Is it? I mean, you are the only one who showed up alone." Abigail said. 

"I was a victim of opportunity." Casey told her. "We will never know what is going through his mind, but it doesn't help if we turn against each other." Casey told them. 

"You started this when you accused Tiffany." Justin told her.

 "Call it anger. Call it frustration. Call it nerves. Call it having to be stuck with you six in a small room!" Casey yelled.
  

"I remember a girl." Jesse spoke suddenly. They all turned to face the trembling girl and Casey felt the fear rising in her chest. She looked back at the camera and mouthed 'Help Me.' again. 

"A girl hit our car door. She said something was after her." Jesse told the group, looking at Casey.  "I thought she had blonde hair." Jesse whispered. 

"She did." David said. They looked at him and Casey felt her fight or flight sensor kicking in. Except she had no where to run.
 

"She came to me in the woods. I know I was completely plastered, but I remember that." David and Jesse studied Casey, trying to recognize the girl behind the disguise. 

"Well, as you can see, I'm not blonde. Never been. Besides, you probably just came up with this. None of you ever mentioned it before." Casey told them. 

They formed a semi circle around her, blocking her from the camera's view. "How can we trust you? People can change their appearance." Abigail said, glaring at Casey. So she decided to give up.
  

"Okay, fine. You caught me. I'm his assistant." They started to go for her, but Casey raised a hand to stop them. "I would think twice before touching me." She warned. 

"Yeah? Why?" David snarled. Casey smirked at him. 

"Because you have no idea what he's capable of." She answered. 

"There's six of us and one of you. Besides, your boyfriend isn't here to help you." 

Casey walked over to a passed out Tiffany and kicked her. "Actually, five of you. Do you really think he would put me somewhere I could get hurt? Tsk, tsk, tsk." Casey said, moving her index finger back and forth. "How wrong you all are." She could tell she scared them.
  

 Jesse and Abigail went to the other side of the room, far away from Casey. The rest of the impures exchanged looks.

 "I'm willing to take that chance." David told her, taking a few steps towards her. 

"I would recommend you think again. This can go one of two ways. One: We stay here and some of you will get a chance to live. The second option is that you try to hurt me, you fail to do so, and he kills all of you. I'll leave you to decide." Casey told them, walking away from the group. The teens huddled together, whispering on what they would do. Personally, Casey hoped that they would attack her so the Beast would kill them and she could get out of that room.
 

Tiffany stirred on the floor, but never woke up. Jesse started moving her arms frantically, crying a little bit. Casey could tell Jesse was starting to buckle under the pressure. The others were trying to calm her down, but she kept crying and saying she wanted to go home. Justin set her down on one of the beds and returned to the huddle. Casey looked into the camera, waiting for someone to come and let their presentation known.
   

David stormed over to her, his face red with fury. "You've made a decision already? I hope it's the right one." Casey taunted, hoping it wasn't. 

"Yeah, we did. And we'll take our chances." David said, swinging at her. His punch struck Casey before she had a chance to duck. She fell onto the floor, grabbing her cheek. He stepped forward to strike her again when Lisa screamed. They all looked towards the door to see what was scariest Lisa.
   

 And they all saw it. They saw the Beast walking up the wall.
  

Casey started laughing. "He's coming for you." She laughed, getting up. "He's going to kill you all." 

The Beast walked onto the ceiling until he reached the gates door. He jumped down, his figure was all that could be seen in the dim light. He growled loudly, scaring the teens against the wall. 

"I told you. You have no idea what he's capable of." Casey told them, walking towards the gates door.

 "Took you long enough." She told him, waiting for him to unlock the door.
 

"Which one did that to you?" He asked, whispering so the others couldn't hear them. 

"David. The second boy we kidnapped." She told him as the door swung open. 

"Then that's the one who is going to die the most painfully.' The Beast told her as he lunged at the impures.
