The Cabin In The Woods

chapter twenty-six

"Hey! Put the gun down! Please!" Zachary yelled and placed his arm in front of Pheobe protectively.

"We didn't call the police! We swear!" Lucy yells from behind Sawyer.

The person shook their head and their hand shook uncontrollably. They seemed scared...

"You know, I pull a gun on your girlfriend and you immediately forget about your sister being missing. Maybe I should kill you instead, you're a horrible brother." The person says and police lights lit up around them.

"Okay you might be right. I'm a suckish brother. What did you do to Jacelyn?" Zachary asks, he was hoping he'd distract the person long enough for the police to find them.

"Oh, I haven't done anything to her. She's safe, for now." The person says

"Please! Just lower the gun!" Lucy screams, she was crying. Pheobe was Lucy's best friend besides Jacelyn, but lately Jacelyn hadn't been much of a best friend.

"Oh I'll lower the gun... After I do one thing." The person says and pulls the trigger of the pistol. The first bullet hit Zachary arm but the next four hit Pheobe's stomach and chest. Zachary screamed her name and dropped to her side on the ground. Pheobe cried and gripped Zachary's arm.

"Zachary, I don't wanna go. I don't want to go." Pheobe sobbed.

Zachary cried and pulled Phoebe into his lap. Sawyer was crying and comforting Lucy at his side while she screamed.

"It's okay. Just relax." Zachary whispered.

"I can't relax. I'm gonna die." Pheobe cried. She pulled in Zachary's t-shirt so that she knew he wasn't leaving her.

"Hey, do you remember our first date? We went to see that movie and it turned out to be in German. The movie was horrible and so was the date but we still continued to hang out." Zachary says and Pheobe forced a laugh through the pain and tears.

"That movie was so bad." She smiles while shaking her head and so does Zachary.

"I love you." Zachary whispers.

Before Pheobe could reply she released her last breath and her body went limp. Zachary's body started shaking. At first he thought he was having another anxiety attack but he wasn't. It was just rage finally building up inside of him. Zachary stood up and turned towards the cloaked person and sprinted towards them. They ran as well but Zachary was faster. He tackled the person and pinned their arms down. Zachary was dripping blood from his gunshot wound onto the person but he didn't care. He carefully reached up and removed the hood from their head. They wore a ski mask underneath and he removed that as well. He lost it. Zachary screamed and cried while still holding the person down...

"I never knew you were so vicious, bro." Jacelyn grinned and tried to pull away from Zachary's grasp but he wouldn't let her go. Everything started to make since. Jacelyn would never try to kill Zachary so she protected him from the others, she killed Justin before Sawyer arrived at the hospital and pretended like she'd found him that way. Nobody died while Jacelyn was in a coma...but who killed Lizzy? Jacelyn was right beside him when that happened, then it clicked. His mother. His mother must've been helping Jacelyn all along. The though made him want to scream, his entire family betrayed him.

"Why, why would you do this? To me, to Sawyer, to Andy." Zachary mumbles

"Why not?" Jacelyn smiles.

"You were the only family I had left." Zachary let a tear fall from his eye.

"I still am, you can still be a great brother and let me go. I promise I won't do anything else bad, it'll be over. We'll go back to the old times." Jacelyn says. She was trying to manipulate him but he wouldn't let that happen, he'd never allow anyone to manipulate him ever again.

Zachary's grip loosened but he didn't let go.

"I don't understand how you even did this. The talent show, you were right beside me, that was mom?" Zachary asks.

"That was mom." Jacelyn confirms. Her menacing grin never left her face.

"And who killed Tessa, you were with me when she was found." Zachary says

"I killed her the night before. You were sleeping like a baby." Jacelyn whispered.

"What about Andy? You cared so much about him." Zachary says

"That, dear brother, is called acting." Jacelyn says "Zach, I'm your sister. Let me escape."

"Don't call me Zach." Zachary says and grabs the gun that lay above Jacelyn's head and stood up with the gun pointing down at her.

"Go on, pull the trigger." Jacelyn smirked.
