Alone 2

Chapter 11: All The Way

Firess's P.O.V

I sit in the corner of the cabin, staring at Chandler. Remembering what he did to me.....

•••

A YEAR AGO WHEN IT HAPPENED

I lay down on the ground of the hard concrete. I stare up at the sky, wishing it would all just go away, but thats not gonna happen. I slowly sit up and only see fog all around me as I place my hands onto the cold ground of the road. I see no movement, but I have no weapon.

I let out a sigh as my attempt to die, failed, yet again.

I wish my mom and dad were here....

I think my thoughts aloud, thinking that maybe a monster will hear me and end my life by digging it's sharp teeth into my soft flesh.

I push myself off the ground and to where I can stand and scan my surroundings. I'm so far away from my home, my friends, my family. I wanna go back, but I can't, that man told me to go as far away as possible, and for some reason I trusted him, I trusted him for saving me, but I also hate him, hate him for killing my parents.

I turn away from the direction my house is in and begin to walk, hoping I find something amazing. In a world like this, there's bound to be something!

I swing my arms from side to side as I walk. I used to do this when I was kid and my mother and I would just be walking through the grocery store, and she said if I touched anything, it would shock me, like a jolt of lighting, so I never touched anything and I always got bored, and it eventually became a habit.

I become still as I see movement out of the corner of my eye. I don't dare to move, I have no weapon. I hold my breath and hear footsteps walk closer to me. They're too fast to be a monster, so now I'm really scared.

"I have nothing you want." I say, not turning around to face the figure.

"I think you do....." I close my.eyes and slowly turn around as I hear the soft sound of Chandler's voice. I open my eyes, smile, and hug him.

"Where's Aria?" I say, worried, remembering that he walked her home, and I heard him ask what was wrong when I was on the phone with her. She would've known better than to look after me, right?

He looks down at his feet and doesn't say a word.

"She's dead? She's dead isn't she?......." I start to breathe heavily and stare at him. He nods his head slowly. "You didn't protect her? My best friend?" I am furious. "You....didn't protect her... You didn't. WHY!? YOU WERE THERE! WITH HER THE WHOLE TIME!" I turn around so he doesn't see a tear drop from my watering eyes. He told me she was dead. He touches my shoulder gently, but I shove it away as hard as I can, with all the force I have left.

"FIRESS! WAIT!" I don't even turn my head, I just keep walking. I hear his footsteps get closer, but I try my best to pretend that he isn't there at all, but when he grabs my shoulder forcefully and yanks me back, how can I pretend he's not there?

He turns me around and grabs my shoulders.

"I'm sorry! Okay? I didn't mean too!" I just stare at him, into his eyes and see the lies in them. He pulls me closer, and I pull back, but he grabs my hair and throws me onto the grass. I yelp, but he doesn't stop whatever he's doing. He pulls a rope out of his back pocket, and grabs my feet. I kick and scream, but all I do is give him a bloody nose before he can tie my feet together.

He then reaches for my left hand, but I shove him away with both. I scoot back, away from him, and hit my head, which stops me. From moving backwards. He grabs my foot and forcefully pulls me back to where I was laying.

I struggle to get out of his grip. He smirks and pulls me up to put his arm is around my waist. I can't move. I hear him chuckle.

"Aria was so cute when I did this to her....you remind me of her." He laughs as he pulls out a knife and places it at my throat. I slowly reach my arm up and place it around the kinfe. I give a tug, but he doesn't give it up too easily.

I scoot back, closer into his body, away from the knife. He runs it across my jawline, and slowly let's go of me and is now in front of me. He uses the knife to lift my chin and I don't hold back, or it would cut deep into my skin. He grabs my hand and slices through it. I scream. Blood drips from my arm, and I fall as the rope that's tied around my legs trip me.

Chandler has a smile of a mad man on his face as he cuts the ropes keeping my feet together. The cut he made wasn't deep, buy it goes all the way up my forearm, i'm lucky enough that it didn't cut a vein.

He helps me up, but I quickly pull my hand away from his as I'm up. I quickly lung at him and grab the kinfe carefully out of his hand. I push him onto the ground and stab the knife through his arm. He yells painfully, but he killed Aria, and tried to kill me.

NOW

I look to Aria as she us examining a scar on his left arm.

"Where did you get this from?" He looks down to the scar on his arm and then to me.

"I fell, and cut myself on a piece of glass." She puts her lips out into a pouty face.

"I am so sorry...." Aria says. Allyson, who is staring at the wall, closes her eyes.

"Firess has one too, but its much bigger." I let out a shakey sigh and wonder how she knew. I close my eyes fall into a deep sleep, but when I am woken up by a blood curdling scream, I jump up quickly and rush to the room Allyson and Cade sleep in.

Allyson is hunched over Cade and blood slowly drips from a bloody knife in her hand. She looks to me slowly, as well as Aria and Chandler. I see a gun in Cade's hand.

Allyson's eyes are filled with fear.

"He was gonna kill us."
