Chapter 16: Hospital Rooms

•••

Max's P.O.V

•••

I woke up in a room that looked like it was a hospital room. It had one bed with no mattress, the mattress was thrown across the room, maybe someone was looking for something, the bed frame was rusted the window was broken with green ripped up curtains, the walls were mouldy with holes, wires covered a machine, the tiles on the floor were removed from their sockets.

I sat in a wooden chair with ropes tied to my feet and hands. Another rope tied across my chest, and a rope tied around my mouth. The rope cut the corners of my mouth.

What am I going to do? No one is going to just walk into this abandoned building! Well, I think it's an abandoned one. Like, look at this place! I struggled to get out of the chair. Wait, slender man! I completely forgot! Ok, I forget sometimes! I tried to turn into the slender man when I heard someone walk into the room. He removed the rope from my mouth.

"No use on trying that." I heard the person say. "The jingx removed your powers for a while they'll come back once you leave this building." He laughed while twirling a dagger in his hands.

"Wait I know you! You are." I paused. "You are Ashlynn's best friend. Jason." Trader. I thought.

"Well of course I am. You shouldn't tell her anything or I swear I'll kill you." He said running up to me putting the dagger to my throat. He chuckled and walked away.

I gulped. "Just let me go!" I said squirming in my chair. "Please," I begged.

He laughed evilly. "I don't want Ashlynn to pick you. I love her."

"She picks who she wants! Which, I know who she's going to pick!" I yelled.

Jason's phone rang. "You be quiet!"

He said putting the dagger to my throat again and answering the phone. "Hey, Ashlynn." He gave me a wicked smile.

"Decided yet?"

I couldn't make out what Ashlynn was saying.

"Ok." He frowned and ended the call.

"Who did she pick?" I felt stupid for saying that.

"No one yet," he said looking away. He was clearly lying.

I tried freeing my hand out of the ropes. I flattened my hand on the arm of the chair and slid it out. Carefully so Jason couldn't see.

He was staring down at his dagger twirling it. What was he thinking? He was lost in his thoughts when I slid the other hand out. I took the rope that was over my chest and threw it onto the floor. I looked up and saw Jason angling the dagger so he could see behind. He turned around and threw the dagger at me. It hit me square in the shoulder.

"Ahh!" I yelled in pain while I was pulling it out of my shoulder. I got up but the rope was still tied around my feet and I fell back down.

He chuckled "Well well well... Look who's the 'escape artist' here."

I saw the jingx walk up behind me and walk up to Jason. I cut the ropes that were tied around my feet.

Jason's P.O.V

•••

"Please stop! Please don't kill me! I-I do anything!" I screamed blocking my face with my hands. I saw the jingx hold up a knife. I heard a thump on the ground and realized Max tackled the jingx. He grabbed the dagger I stabbed her in the chest.

She must be stronger than that! Soon enough, Max cut her throat and stabbed her in the head. She's dead.

"Well, she was easy to kill." max laughed crossing his arms over his chest.

Max's P.O.V

I can't even believe I just saved Jason. The kid who betrayed Ashlynn. The kid who beat me up and the kid who kidnapped me.
