An hour passed by,... Nick kept walking back and forth with his finger tapping his chin. Tommy was eating more bread, I was holding on to Don, stroking my fingers through his hair. "He's got really long hair, I wonder how long it took him to grow all that hair out." I said, Nick looked at Don. "It must be a pain to have all that hair." Nick replied. "It's not that bad, I mean, sure it gets to warm and it gets in your way but, it's really not that bad." I said as I was hugging Don. "*sighs* I hope he won't get mad we let him sleep, I'm worried about him.." I said. I saw Don starting to mumble...I looked at his face, he was crying...I looked at Nick, Nick looked at Don...Don woke up...."Don!! Are you okay?" I asked. Don looked at me...he started sobbing. I hugged him, Nick did too. "I...dreamt about.....Jon..." Don cried. Tommy quickly looked at Don. "What happened?" Tommy said. Don hesitated..."I..."....Don stuttered...."You what?" Tommy said. "I..uh....he caught me...and..he stabbed me....through the chest...and-" Don stuttered. "Why?" Tommy got closer to Don. I looked at Tommy, he wasn't looking so....good.."Well uh..." Don paused. "Well same reason he came after us right?" Nick said. "No, I don't think that's why" Tommy stared Don down.. Don looked at Tommy...Don then looked at us...he stepped back...then turned to Tommy. "Look Tommy, I know, I'm sorry, it's just-" "I don't want to hear it, it was your fucking fault, do you think it's okay to curse someone for something that stupid?" Tommy was furious he was walking towards Don, Don was walking back. "What are they talking about?" I asked Nick. "I don't know, they seem like they....knew eachother..." Nick said. "I didn't know! I thought magic wasn't real, I thought it was all just some hoax, it's just...I was mad..." Don tried to reason with Tommy. "You sure as hell was, now tell me, what were you wanting to accomplish? Jon wanted to make you happy! And what did you do? You cursed him, all over a stupid song he wrote for you!" Tommy screamed. We all looked at Don...our jaws, dropped! Don started shaking...he was too scared to say anything. "What do you mean Jon wanted to make Don happy, and...what song?" Nick asked Tommy. Tommy looked at Nick. "Jon, wasn't always a killer...he used to be oh so sweet..." Tommy said. "You mean..Jon was like..one of you guys?" I asked. "Yeah, he was really useful actually, he knew how to cook, he was like our little jester." Tommy smirked.. "Don came in, we found him sitting in the corner of a vent, he was like one of you guys, taller and didn't have a hat. Jon instantly wanted to be his best friend. Don was always... Grumpy.. Like, he hated us...he hated everyone... Jon made him a hat, it was red and had a bell on the tip just like his. But Don never whore it...one day, Jon made a song for him, he asked me to play the harmonica I had with me, so I did. Jon was singing his song...In front of our group.. Don looked at Bane and Shelby whispering to eachother, and Dawn giggling. Don felt.....humiliated... He got up, took my harmonica and smashed it to the ground, he threw a fit. He grabbed on to Jon picking him off the ground and threw him down. We all yelled at Don and pushed him away from Jon, Don started to tear up but he was angry, since he was bigger and stronger than all of us combined he pushed us all away, took Jon's paper he wrote the lyrics on and ripped it right in front of him.. Jon saw the paper falling off Don's hands... And into the puddle of tears Jon cried.. Don ran away...leaving Jon on the floor...crying..." Tommy looked at Nick. "Just like he did when Uni yelled at him...right?" Nick said.. "Yes.." Tommy replied. Tommy continued his story; "I snuck to see where Don ran off to...he had a book... And then...I heard him chant.. Some language,..He discovered magic, then cursed Jon.... I ran to our group, to see Jon wasn't there... We went to the kitchen and I told everyone what happened... Then...we heard loud foot steps.. Jon? I saw Jon walking towards us, we were on a counter, he was walking to us while sharpening his knives, That's not our Jon... We all ran to safety, leaving Jon in the kitchen..." Tommy stopped...then looked at Don. "Not so tough are you big guy?" Tommy yelled at Don. "I..I said I was sorry..." Don cried. "Tommy, .....screaming at him won't do anything, at least he regretted everything" I said. "Yeah, he's changed." Nick said. "He hasn't in my eyes, what I see is a coward, worried about his reputation and not his friends."

We walked through the last vent we could find, then it was an open space, we saw a wire and hooks attached to it, there were crates of meat. We jumped from crate to crate... Wait... Is that Jon's hat? We stopped to see a giant hat on the ground it was covered in blood...there was blood all around it too...we saw a trail of giant bloody footsteps...it was lead to us "D-DON'T RUN PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME--" Jon popped up he was holding on to the crate we were on. "RUN!!" Nick said. We panicked, we jumped off the crate and tried running back to the vent. Jon quickly got up and fell down to grab us. He caught all four of us. And ran behind a crate sitting down. "guys please! Stop squirming around I'm trying to help you guys!" Jon said. "Let us go!" Tommy kept kicking. "It's no use we're dead!!" Nick screamed. "Guys! Let's hear what he has to say! He might be our ticket out of here!" I said. Jon let go of us he put us all down. Nick quickly grabbed me and Tommy and started running to the vent, Don didn't know what to do so he stood in shock, "WAIT NO COME BACK DON'T LEAVE ME!!" Jon ran after us. "NICK LET GO OF MY ARM!" I pulled my arm away from his grip. "HE'LL KILL YOU! IT'S A TRAP!" Nick screamed, Jon caught Nick, but Nick tried jumping out of Jon's hand but Jon held on to Nick tightly. I grabbed on to Tommy's arm and dragged him to Jon. "Thanks, uh..." Jon paused. "It's Ashlie..." I said. Tommy was hiding behind me peeking his head out. "It's okay... He won't harm us..." I said. Jon looked at Don.... Jon was reaching out to Don. Don shrieked, and fell on his back. "NO-- IM SORRY- I SO SORRY" Don screamed in fear. Jon placed something on his head. Don looked to see what he put on his head...."my...hat..." Don said. "Was that the one you never whore?" I asked. "Yes..." Don said. "I kept it, I thought you were a goner so I kept it... I know you never wanted it but... It's all I have to say I'm sorry..." Jon said. Tommy got out of hiding. "WAIT WAIT WAIT, NO YOU DON'T APOLOGIZE--" Tommy screamed. "JON GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS, YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!" Tommy kept screaming at Jon.. He was no longer scared! "Tommy! Calm down! Just stop! All that happened in the past!" I yelled at him. "IT WAS STILL A DICK MOVE, JON SHOULDN'T APOLOGIZE, HE JUST WANTED TO MAKE A NEW FRIEND!!" Tommy screamed, "Tommy, it's not a big deal, I'm okay with it, I forgive him, he forgives me, we're even" Jon said. "What made you snap back to this?" Tommy asked. "I..don't know....At one moment I'm fine then the next...I'm...insane?" Jon said. "It's another curse..." Don said. We all looked at Don. "What?" We all said. "According to the book, Jon is cursed twice, by me, and Uni. I made him gigantic, Uni made him insane.. It all makes sense... Jon is only insane if Uni isn't there with him.. But... my question is, how is he sane if Uni isn't even around?" Don looked through the pages. "Maybe this has something to do with it.." I got out the mirror I picked up, "that! That has Uni's scent!" Jon pointed out. "So as long as we have this mirror Jon is still sane!" Don said. Nick bit Jon's hand "OW--" Jon screamed, Nick jumped down. "I'm still not sure we can trust him." Nick said.. I looked at Nick...and smiled....I stared at him for a solid three seconds as I saw him slowly turning red.. "Ashlie stop--" Nick said quickly. "Stop what? Staring at you? Is that what's bothering you?? Or uh...is Jon bothering you?" I said. "What did I do?" Jon was puzzled. "aSHLIE NO--" Nick yelled, he covered his face. "Get in this empty crate, I'll transport you guys closer to the exit." Jon said. We all got in. . . . . (30 minutes later) . . Tommy kept looking out the crate nervously... "Oh Nonononono, no there has to be another way Jon," Tommy said, "nnnnnnnope! This is the only way we will get there faster." Jon said. We saw giant monsters, feasting on meat, Jon put the crate we were in, in a wagon so that the monsters won't see or hear us. "G-guys....hrkk--" Don held on to his stomach in pain. "NONONO!! Now's not the time!" Tommy screamed. "Ashlie do you have more of that meat?" Nick asked. "No!! I don't!!" I yelled. Don started to grab Nick. "HE GOT ME HELP!!" Nick yelled. We tried pulling Don away from Nick but he was too strong. "JON! JON!" I screamed. "HE CAN'T HEAR US!" - - - - -
