Halloween Night

Chapter 25

Suddenly they were surrounded by four 'ghost faces', that looked like the killer from scream. Austin clutched onto Ally and their eyes locked. She knew instantly what he wanted her to do.

So she screamed, her voice shaky and raspy, but she screamed. She clutched onto Austin and reached out for Trish but couldn't grasp her. Something was happening. She fought the arms around her, she fought and screamed and couldn't tell who's hands were who's on her body. She thought she could still feel Austin. There were leather gloves around her waist and cold palms grasping her face, but she still thought she was clutched onto Austin's arm. Until she wasn't.

She bit the first hand that came towards her and she could hear Dez yell to 'drop her'. Was that her her? Or Trish? She didn't know. Was she on solid ground or up in the air? Before she knew it she wasn't screaming anymore, but her ears were ringing, and she heard Trish screaming.

"DEZZZ!" She yelled. "AUSSSSSTIN?" She yelled more.

Ally opened her eyes. She was on the ground and alone, but Austin's shoe was in front of her. Why just his shoe? She saw Trish being taken away and two lying ghost faces next to her. She got up and ran towards Trish, screaming her name.

"ALLY!" Trish screamed back. And Ally ran, she ran towards Trish until she saw another sight beside her. Trish was pointing to the side so she looked. Austin was lying, bloody against a wall. She had to help Trish, but she also had to make sure Austin was okay. She looked back at Trish and the look in her eye told Ally to go check on Austin. So she obeyed.

She ran up to Austin and kicked the ghost face that was currently hovering over him. It quickly fell to the side. She fumbled in her pocket and found the mace. She pulled his mask down, revealing his eyes and sprayed the mace into them. He screamed in pain and fell over. She jumped on top of him, punching him in the face.

Ally yelped out in pain as she heard her bone in her hand crack, instantly knowing she broke it. She had never punched anyone before, and she never would again knowing it hurt that much. Luckily the force of her punch knocked him out. She wouldn't have been able to hold him down otherwise because she wasn't strong enough.

She hovered over him, making sure he was out cold. She slowly brought her can of mace back out and sprayed him a few more times, for good measure.

After she finished with him she turned to Austin. She looked him over, making sure he was okay. He was trying to wake up, she could see that. She was at his side, pulling him upwards. She didn't know how, but she knew their only option right then, was to hide. He started to come to, and she stood him up as best as she could with one hand. He was huge and much heavier then she was, but she had to get him up. She looked behind her, but the bloodied ghost-face was gone. She gulped and tried to walk faster. "Austin, I need you to try and help me okay? I need you to walk." She pleaded.

He nodded and began to walk, leaning on her for help. They made their way into a ditch behind the parking lot and Ally was pretty confident they weren't followed. "Austin, I need your phone. Do you have it?"

He reached for it, handed it to her and leaned back against the cool grass. "It's busy! Why is it busy?" She had dialled 9-1-1 at least 18 times before giving up.

She decided to text Dez.

"WHERE ARE YOU?"

She waited and waited. She looked over to check on Austin. His eyelids were starting to droop. "Austin, sweetie, I need you to stay awake for me."

Austin nodded and propped himself up. "I'm feeling better, I just, I don't know what happened."

"Me neither." Ally admitted, leaning against his chest. He pulled her close.
