Chapter 2
Kylie's POV:
"Kylie?" Holiday had blood covering her face, creating a crimson halo, along with blood spreading on her stomach.
After getting over the surprise, Holiday seemed hysterical. "Kylie! You have to get out of here! He has a gun!"
My mind barely acknowledged this. My eyes narrowed at Collin, everything on my mind was set on kill, kill, kill. This was new and half scared me, but at the time it took every ounce of willpower not to reach over and tear him apart limb by limb.
Collin looked petrified, slowly backing up with the gun pointed at me. A growl escaped my lips, a growl?, as I slowly walked towards him. "You are going to pay.", my voice was not my own, it was the voice of a dark animalistic creature.
looked ready to piss his pants. He shakily raised his gun and fired a bullet. I felt a bump in my shoulder, but nothing else. My mind was focused on kill, kill. I kept walking towards him. He fired a whole round into me. I felt nothing but a few impacts.
"What are you!" Collin said petrified," Your eyes!". What about my eyes? I let out a growl as I closed in on him. He fired one last shot before I grabbed the gun and chucked it into the corner. His eyes were wide with fear. "Please, it's not as it seemed!" Right, like he just happened upon holiday all beat up. Sparing a glance at Holiday, she appeared awed and scared as well.
Striking my eyes back on Collin as he was about to run. I grabbed him by his shirt and raised him into the air. I hurled him into the wall and heard a sharp crack. His eyes wide open, holding a vacant stare. Before my shock could settle in I heard Holiday moan.
I hurried back over to Holiday and fell onto my knees. "Holiday?" I stuttered out as tears streamed down my face. Her eyes fluttered open and held my eyes. She tried to say something, but blood gurgled out of her mouth.
God no! I set my hands on her chest. Please, Please let me heal her. I kept repeating this as her heart beat got slower and slower. NO! Not Holiday! She is my friend, my older sister, my family. Tears blurred my vision. Please, Please spirits, let me heal her! I glanced down at her pale face. Sweat strung in her hair. Then I knew what I had to do. Please, I'll trade my soul for hers, just let her live.
Then I felt unimaginable heat fill my body and flow into my hands. A smile fluttered on my lips as Holiday seemed to gain back her color. However as she was recovering, the lights seemed to be dimming. Holiday then let out a gasp and shot up into the air, sucking in lung fulls of air. "Kylie?" She ask dizzily. Just then the adrenaline ran out of my body and I felt every bullet in my body.
I let out a scream as I fell on the floor. It felt as if a fire raged though my body, tearing through my flesh and bones. I vaguely hear someone screaming at me, but all I could hear was my own screaming. Finally the pain started to dull, and I open my eyes. I gaze sleepily at Holiday. She seemed concerned and heart broken, mouthing to me something. Della was by her side, and Derek and Lucas were staring at me in the background both crying. I let a smile ride my lips as I fell back into my peaceful abyss. Letting my heart beat once and for all.
Della's POV:
I struggled against my chains. I can't believe Kylie just left me here! Anger flashed through my eyes as well as worry. What if Kylie got injured, or worse... killed. I turned my head and saw my friends beside me. I bumped my body into Burnets. "Burnet! Wake up! We have to get out of these chains!" Burnet mumbled something, but otherwise stayed inactive.
I let out a groan as I yanked against the chains again. They cut into my wrist, but this time I heard the chains creak a bit. I grin, this is more like it. I yank as hard as I can and the latch comes flying out of the wall. Reaching down I yank on the chains that hold my feet and jump. Of course, just my luck I face plant into the floor. Stupid things. Walking over to Burnet I grab his chains and pull as hard as I can. Burnet falls forward and hits his head on the hardwood. When I flip him over, his eyes are fluttering, but he is still not fully conscious. Sorry Burnet, I slap him hard on the face and he snaps up. I would say I didn't enjoy that, but I would be lying.
After Burnet and I released Miranda, Derek, and Lucas. Miranda however was knocked out for a little longer. I believe they overdosed her. At any other time I would of laughed, but right now we have to go after Kylie. Burnet of course went straight to the point. "Alright, now where is Holiday." His eyes burning a bright orange. "As I told Kylie last I saw here she was dragged into the room, but there are lots of locks."
I don't know how Kylie will get past those locks. "WAIT! Kylie!" Lucas said alarmed, "Where is she!". Derek however was crying.
"Uh Derek, your man tears are showing." I said trying to lighten the mood, but know there is something wrong. He turns to face me, "I feel two people in the other room. One with sorrow , one with lots of pain.
Oh,no. Was Kylie too late? Is Holiday, ... dying? Burnet looked so anguished, "Holiday?".
"Let's go, we need to talk to Kylie." I say, my heart as heavy as lead. We ran down the hallway and came upon a door wide open on its hinges, locks torn off. "Well it looks like Kylie didn't have an issue with those locks." However once I walked in, I fell onto my knees.
I cover my mouth to stifle a cry. There at the center of the room was Holiday life and well, but cradled in her lap was Kylie. Bullets littered her body. Her body was almost unrecognizable for it was covered in a blanket of blood.
Her heart beat was soft and growing fainter.I ran up to Kylie and fell on my knees. "Come on! Holiday, we need to get her to the camp. Someone there can heal her!" However, Holiday just shook her head and looked up. Her eyes were rimmed read, tears were streaming down her face. "She trader her soul for mine." I gasped.
I grabbed Kylie's shoulders and shook them. "COME ON KYLIE! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME. P..Please" I screamed out as I collapsed on her chest. I usually don't let my emotions show, but Kylie was my best friend. She always understood me and saw through my stoic mask.
Then Kylie's eyes fluttered open. Her eyes! They were a bright red, covered in a hazy film. "Kylie! Stay with us!" Holiday said, her face heart broken. Kylie eyes scanned the room landing on every person. A smile rose on her lips and she closed her eyes. Her heart stuttering out.
No! NO! She can't die. I just stared in shock. Lucas shoved his way though and started doing CPR. "Come on, Kylie. COME ON! Wake up, please just... wake up!." He continued his work at a fast pace. Burnet came up behind and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Lucas..., it's too late." Lucas just shrugged off his hand and kept working.
Miranda was in the doorway with Derek crying. Derek being who he is hugged her and sent calming emotion through her. Della however had no one to help comfort her. On the inside she was numb. How can Kylie be gone?
I look once more upon Kylie's face. She had a peaceful look plastered upon her face. A smile still on her lips. Why would she leave us? What could she possibly see that would make her smile.
Eventually Lucas gave up. He started to brush Kylie's hair out of her face. Oh Kylie, what will we do without you.
