Vita et Mors - Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil Fanfiction

Chapter 25

A/N: chapter 25. How on earth did I get one-quarter of the way to a hundred? Crazy. I'm thinking of splitting my last chapter because it was really long...

********************

(Sophie's POV)

I flipped my body around Connors so my feet were against his back. Using the force behind my momentum, I pushed him using my feet to propel off his back in a sideways somersault so I landed directly next to Caspar who had been about two metres away, filming.

As quick as a flash, I grabbed the camera and knocked him into the pool. The whole operation had taken around three seconds. I easily filmed him falling into the pool next to Connor, screaming like a girl. Connor was treading water, looking incredibly shocked as Caspar remained under water,

I was confused until I realised that there was another person in the pool, holding him down. I tossed the camera to Gemma as I slid my coat off while diving into the pool. Connor and I yanked Caspar away from the vice grip of the person and I caught sight of their face.

And froze.

*************************

(Gemma's POV)

I had immediately given the camera to Dan as I threw myself onto the floor next to the pool.

Connor emerged with Caspar who gasped for breath. Connor shook his head until we both noticed Sophie. She was still underwater, perfectly still.

Connor pulled her up, and she started to breathe, but didn't move. She had a look of pure terror on her face. I saw the other person climb out of the other side of the pool and start to run.

I took chase, sprinting, gaining on them steadily and quickly.

They looked back and I stopped, stumbling back away from them instead of towards them.

It was Rose.

And she had a headset on.

I could only imagine it was connected to one person.

Oliver.

(Sophie's POV)

We all ran up to Gemma, me, Dan, Phil and Connor in the lead. She was slowly stumbling backwards, shaking her head. Her eyes were glazed over, and Rose was gone.

I grabbed her shoulder and turned her around.

"It's okay," I whispered. "They can't get you again, I mean it."

She shook her head again. "They might," Gemma muttered, sounding broken.

I hugged her as she started to cry. I motioned Dan and Phil away so we could talk in privacy as looked at Connor pleadingly so he would look after Gemma.

He nodded, and led her to some seats with our other friends who just sat near her, some of them talking to her softly.

"What's going on?" Dan said, clearly worried for Gemma.

"That.... That was Rose."

Dan and Phil had exactly the same reaction. Their eyes widened, mouths opened slightly and swore, Dan a little more colourful than Phil.

"What do we do?" Phil questioned.

"Watch our backs," I said finally, after a long pause. "Sh*t is about to hit the fan, and when it does, it's going to go everywhere."

We had decided to get on with our day like normal, still wanting it have fun.
