Brian and Miley swiftly turned around and started running; panting heavily due to fear. Aiden was right behind them, running for dear life since their attacker was closer to him than the others.
They made it along the path, with Brian ahead of them. Miley looked back to see Aiden behind her, and the masked figure behind him, with shovel still in hand.
"Run Miley!" Aiden screamed.
She was in total fear, but she managed to stay focus at the task at hand; getting away from whoever was chasing them.
They made it through the trees and unto the road. They ran towards the car.
Brian got in the back first, followed by Aiden, who now took the driver's seat, and Miley the passenger's seat. Miley quickly handed him the keys.
The masked figure made it unto the road. He started running towards the car. Miley looked up and saw him.
"Aiden!" Miley called out.
"Hold on--" He stated, panicking.
He then placed the right key into the ignition and started the engine. When their attacker was close to the car, he swung the shovel towards it, but Aiden reversed before he was able to make contact with the car.
Aiden looked behind him, trying to find the right spot to turn the car around. Miley and Brian focused their gazes on the attacker. He was standing in the middle of the road, staring at them.
Aiden found a potential corner and swung the car around. When the car was now facing the main road, he drove off in full speed.
Away from the maniac who was chasing them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my God!" Brian sighed.
"Who was that?!" Miley asked with a crack in her voice.
"I-I don't know." Aiden replied, looking in the rear view mirror.
"Just keep driving." Brian stated, almost sounding like he was having a panic attack.
"I don't plan on stopping."
Miley then looked behind her.
"Jason--" She whimpered.
Aiden glanced at her, then sighed.
"Damnit Damnit Damnit!" He exclaimed, slamming his hand multiple times on the steering wheel.
"Oh my God oh my God!" Brian stressed, running his fingers through his hair.
"What are we going to do? Are we gonna call the police?" Miley panicked.
"No." Aiden answered, looking at Miley. "We can't get the police involved."
"He's right." Brian agreed. "It's--it's gonna ruin everything--"
"What about Jason?!" She cried out. "What if he's--"
"Let's not think about that right now Miley." Aiden interjected.
She sighed in frustration, mixed with fear. Aiden wiped his hand across his face, then placed it back onto the steering wheel.
"Was--was that, Lana?" Brian asked in confusion.
Aiden shook his head quickly. "I don't know--but she definitely had something to do with it."
-
It was 9:41pm. Miley has fallen asleep due to exhaustion, while Brian was awake with Aiden. They were heading to Rose Café so that Brian could get access to his car.
