You leaned against the wall almost dosing off.

You'd just been thinking.

About Caide, Vice, Lance and Lila.

"Who killed her?" you uttered to yourself as you pushed your knees to your chest.

"Yes Vice carries a knife but Lila's body was found outside the school in the woods, his beads broke he wouldn't be able to leave.."

Where was Caide and Damon?

"Lance is a teacher and a model.. I'm sure he would have ate her body if he did kill her. Where was Caide? Wasn't he with me? Actually how long was Lila dead.. how long had she been pretending to be alive?"

You sighed as another bell rung.

Schools over finally..

You stood up and pushed the door.

"W-What?"

You pushed and pulled at the door but it wouldn't budge.

You started banging hoping someone would hear but no one came.

"Fuck.." you started to tear up as you looked around the room.

Someone had locked the door.

But how would they had known?

Your eyes darted for an exit and there was a vent high on the wall.

Hoping you would fit, you climbed on top of the boiler pipes and pulled at the rusted vent.

It broke with a snap and you hoisted yourself inside the dusty thing.

I hope no spiders get in my hair..

You crawled through it as steadily as you could.

You saw light up ahead and broke the next vent.

You fell through it with a crash as you fell on the school floor. You looked down the hall and saw a boy right in front of the closet you were in.

"What the hell?!" You yelled and his head darted at you nervously.

It was the same boy who helped you before!

"Why'd you lock me inside?!"

"B-Because you're starting to much trouble!! Things were fine until you came! Vice is gonna end up badly hurt if you keep sticking up to Kian and his group!" he yelled back and you rolled your eyes.

"What's with this generation really? Don't act like you care! I'm doing more than your lousy ass ever will!"

After spouting those words to him you quickly ran towards the roof.

As you climbed up the stairs and swung open the door.. there was no Vice.

"Vice?" you looked around and went

to the edge.

There was a letter.

How did he fall for this?!

"Dammit Vice.." tears fell from your eyes, "How could you fall for this? Naive bastard.."

...

You ran as fast you could down the stairs and through the halls. You slammed open the doors and ran around the school.

As you made it the back, you paused in horror.

"Come on Vice what's wrong? Fight back!!"

There were atleast 5 other students, including Kian and your parents, hitting Vice with sticks and bats.

His head was covered with a sack of some sort.

"Look at him, he fell on the ground!!" one kid laughed as Vice curled up and coughed up blood.

"You guys want to see something?" Kian smiled and pulled out the exact knife from earlier.

Dammit.. he got that from me.

"Woah! Where'd you get that?"

Instead of all scattering like your mother said, they looked in awe.

Your feet moved on their own as you bolted right into Kian. You knee'd him in the stomach and he fell to the ground.

The other kids scattered and it was just you, Vice and Kian.

You kicked Kian in the stomach and took the bag off of Vices head.

You whinced as Kian cut your leg.

"Fuck off!" You yelled and kicked him in the face and he groaned in pain.

Quickly you wrapped your arm around Vice and ran off deep into the woods.

"Get back here!! I'm not done with him!" You heard Kian yell but you and Vice were already gone.

As you ran in the woods.. you noticed something.

The sky was changing.

It was an amber, orange sky all day, as if the sky was frozen in time. Even when it was early morning, but now the sun was setting and it was beginning to grow dark.

It scared you.

Why would the sky suddenly change now?

You stopped running as Vice began limping.

"Ah.. Vice.." you laid him against a tree as he coughed up more blood.

"Get away from me.." he told you and you grabbed his hand.

"No Vice! It's not like that! Someone else wrote that letter!"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" he yelled and you jumped as you shushed him.

He winced and you lifted his shirt showing all the bruises.

"Vice please believe me.." you teared up out of fear.

You looked around and it was pitch black.

"F-Fine don't believe me but please stay close to me.." you asked and he ignored you. You wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Your heart dropped as you heard a crunch behind you.

"Vice listen to me.." you put your forehead against his, "I don't want you to die! Please Vice make it through the night for me!" you began bawling your eyes out and he realized you meant it.

You tried to lift his body but he was so sore and injured every movement made him wince.

"Huh?" you let out turning around.

You couldn't see anything.

In an instant, you were being dragged by your ankle and you let out a scream as Vice yelled.

You kicked and kicked but kept hitting air as a black tentacle was wrapped around your ankle.

You were pulled quickly and slammed into a tree. You looked up to a demon and your heart dropped.

Its creepy droopy eyes and hanging smile made your blood run cold.

"A-A demon.. you're.." you tried to crawl away but it caught both your ankles as it lifted you up.

It's distorted voice let out and you began to scream for help.

"CAIDE!!" you yelled as you fought back, "LANCE HELP!!"

You didn't know how to free yourself as you kicked at its face.

"DAMON!!" You yelled as the thing began licking your calf.

It let out with almost a giggle as if nibbled at your leg.

"Lance?! Snap out of your demon form!! I need your help please?!" You begged and it gave you a confused look. "You have a conscious unlike those other demons right?! Please Damon let me go I have to help someone! I need your help!" you begged and he thought for a moment.

He let you go with a distorted chuckle and you ran back in the direction as Vice.

"Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay.." you kept repeating until you witnessed a sight you wished you didn't.

Blood.

Blood was all over the tree Vice was leaning against.

You almost threw up but saw blood on a trail of leaves heading back to the school.

You ran back as fast as you could.

When you opened the school doors, you were greeted to Kian above a bloody Vice.

He looked at you with tears and a crooked smile as he held the bloody knife in his hand.

"I didn't.. well he could've stopped this!! If I couldn't have him.."

"You stupid insane bastard!!" You yelled but heard Vice move. "V-Vice?"

You pushed Kian as he stood broken and went over to Vice.

You leaned down and held his head.

"Hey sweetheart~" he smiled but his blood was everywhere as it poured out of his stab wounds.

"Come on Vice live for me!!" you cried and he placed his bloody hand on your cheek.

"Get away from him!!" Kian yelled as he charged at you with a knife.

It happened so quickly you could barely process it as Lance opened the door and snatched Kian out the building with a scream.

Thank you Lance..

"W-What was that?" Vice tried to sit up be you stopped him.

"Conserve your energy! I need you alive Vice.." you begged and he smiled.

"Okay.. I'll live longer for you.." he promised as his eyes began to shut.

His hand fell down from your cheek as tears fell from your eyes.

"Vice? You said you'd live longer!!" You yelled upset.

"Damn it Vice.." you held his body but suddenly felt cold hands wrapped around you.

"Don't cry sweetheart~"
