"Michael, oh my god, do you know what's going on?"  I asked.  He shook his head. 

"I just heard talking so I came over.  I was in the closet over there.  

"Where's Liz?"  I asked.  

"I don't know, she went up to see what was going on and didn't come back.  Do you know where everyone is?"  He asked with a worried expression on his face.  

"No, I don't.  But I think we should make ourselves useful and find out what's going on."  I said.  

"Sam, no."  Alexa said.  

"We'll be fine, come on."  I said.  We both got up and followed Michael to the stairs.  As we were walking, we heard a horrible scream coming from the basement.  We froze.  Michael turned around and told us to get back in the bedroom.  We shut the door quietly and locked it. 

"That sounded like Talia."  Michael said.  I nodded, unable to speak.  Alexa was shaking and breathing heavily.  

"Shit, Alexa.  Sit down on the bed, breathe slowly."  I said.  She shook her head.  Michael and I got her calmed down and we tried to figure out what to do. 

"Should we make a run for it?"  I asked. 

"I don't know.  But if there is someone in this house, we should."  Michael said. 

"Our friends are here."  Alexa reminded us. 

"I don't know what to do."  I cried.  Michael pulled us both into a hug.  

"We'll be okay.  I promise."  He said.  We stayed in the bedroom for what felt like an hour.  It was silent in the house.  I wasn't sure if we should leave the room or not.

Talia's POV

I got seperated from Luke when the generator shut off.  He said he was going to find out what was going on and left but didn't come back.  I waited but got restless so I got up myself and started looking around, hoping to find someone because I hated being alone.  

"Hello?"  I called out.  Nothing.  I walked across the first floor and couldn't find anyone.  I was about to walk up the stairs when I felt someone grab me.  There arms wrapped around my neck.  I tried to scream but I couldn't.  I couldn't get turned around to see who it was but I know it was definitely a guy.  I was dragged down to the basement and thrown on the floor.  

I looked around and saw Ashton.  

"Ashton, what are you doing?"  I asked.  He glared at me.  Why was he doing this.  

"Getting my revenge."  He said.  

"What are you talking about?"  I cried. 

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!  You remember!  7 years ago, we were 12 years old.  I only knew Sam back then.  She introduced me to you and laughed right in my face.  You called me worthless and tormented me!"  He yelled. 

"Ashton, I never meant that!  I apologized when I got to know you.  You said it was okay!  You forgave me!  Please Ashton, you know I was sorry!"  I exclaimed. 

"You act like this girl who's shy and innocent.  You were a horrible person when we were younger and you still are!  That's why I'm going to kill you.  I'm going to kill all of you.  You all bullied me, pushed me around.  It's over!  I've waited long enough for this night."  He explained to me. 

"Ashton, please.  We're all sorry and you know that.  What happened in the past is in the past.  It's not important anymore."  I pleaded. 

"No, you don't understand!  You all made me depressed.  The only person I could talk to without feeling judged was Sam.  Now, I can finally be happy again.  When you're all gone.  Then Sam and I won't have to worry about any of you.  She'll be glad when you're all dead."  He told me. 

"No, she won't Ashton.  Sam will hate you.  She won't go along with this!"  I yelled.  He pulled a knife out of his back pocket and I let out a horrible scream.  

"Ashton!  Please!  Please, don't do this!"  I cried.  

"I'm not killing you, yet."  He walked over to me and stood me up.  He took my wrists and tied them with the rope he had with him.  He dragged me over to a chair and tied me up and gagged me.  I choked out tears as he tied the rope tighter and tighter around me.  

"Don't try anything or I'll kill you in an instant."  He felt around for my phone and pulled it out of my back pocket and put it in his.  He then walked up the stairs and shut the door silently.
