Devil's Night

Bystander

Chris POV

I mouthed a silent 'Help me' to Ricky as he picked up the piece of the bowl that was currently out of my reach. Giving me a short but obvious nod he backed away from me. At this point I have already given in the guards restraint on me due to exhaustion and just watched as Ricky fended for himself. I've have never seen him like this before but frankly I didn't care if this was out of character for him. I was just thankful that this was happening and felt like we actually had a chance against Rem. I just prayed that Rem wouldn't kill him first. Though it appeared to be an equal match, Ricky was smaller and weaker than Rem and honestly I'd be surprised if this was successful. From the very beginning of this plan, I had my doubts about if this would actually work. Though our chances were slim, I genuinely believe that we can still get out of this. 

I watched as Ricky moved away, turning anxiously while Rem was stepping closer to him, continuing to laugh like a madman. I made sure to remain quiet to allow Ricky to keep his eye on the fight. But right now, this was his war to win.
