Hello my darlings~ xD Just wanna pop up in bold print before the story to say a big THANK YOUUUU for the reviews! Already 7 on this story! They make my day! Anyways, here's the third chapter! Enjoy.

Nonononononono. He can't mean it, he doesn't.

Jenny screamed at him until her throat went soar and finally died out. She punched his legs and managed to stand up only to punch and hit his chest until her fists went numb from the pain. She scratched him until she saw blood.

"NO!" She was still screaming, not at all minding that her friends were there to watch the panic episode. Jenny went so far to grab Julian's hand and chomp down on one of his fingers, causing him to hiss in a breath and use his free arm to hold her close to him. Julian carefully pulled out his finger, worried more about hurting Jenny than himself, and hugged her close with that arm as well. "No.. no... no.." Jenny sobbed, finally spent to where she had no energy left. Still crying, she felt suddenly foggy, and blacked out in Julian's arms.

Overall POV~

The group was watching Jenny hit and yell at Julian, all except Tom and Dee, who were still off to the side. Both unconscious and unaware of anything, they looked vulnerable: Tom, bruised face peaceful and relaxed; Dee, mouth slightly open and on her back on the floor.

Audrey, Michael, and Zach stood closer to Tom and Dee than to Jenny and Julian. Audrey wore a look of horror, as did Michael, and were both holding each others' hand tightly. Zach was perfectly fine assuming this was all just a dream, and he'd wake up; his eyes were blank and looked almost like he was walking in a dream himself.

Suddenly Jenny stopped hitting and screaming at Julian, simply sobbing. Then the group witnessed her collapse in Julian's arms- Jenny'd passed out.

"Jenny!" Audrey shrieked out, lunging towards her just as Michael tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her back.

"No, Aud. Please." He whispered, frightened at what Julian would do if she got close to him. Julian simply glared at Audrey and Michael, his blue eyes burning with an unquenchable flame.

"I'll deal with you all later." Was all he said before he disappeared with Jenny. Audrey, Michael, and Zach simply stood there, saying nothing. There was nothing to be said, after all, they knew they were as good as dead, and it could be seconds until their deaths.

After about half on an hour - Audrey saw a clock on the far end of the room that surprisingly worked - the warmth died down that came from all sides, the roaring of fire turned into a stiff silence, and Audrey's legs gave out from standing so long, making her collapse onto her knees. Michael gasped and bent down, asking if she was okay but saying nothing when she nodded a small yes.

He sat down next to her and pulled her into his lap easily, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her forehead as she leaned into his chest and cried. Her tears soaked the front of his shirt, but he didn't care. Just having Audrey here with him for however long they had left made him feel a tad bit better. His own spaniel-like eyes watered up - even a few tears flowed - but he tried to just hold Audrey, to make her know he loved her as she loved him.

Zach stood watching like an insane hawk, his gray eyes cloudy yet sharp. He looked from Audrey - who was crying in Michael's lap - and Michael, to Tom and Dee who lay on the cafeteria floor, still unconscious. Unusual dream, he thought, looking around and finally sitting down on one of the tables. This is just a nightmare, he told himself. Yes, a simple nightmare. I'll wake up soon, and I'll be in my bed, waking up to be yelled at by my wretched father.

Then he just started to mutter to himself and look off to the side, falling into his own little world.

A movement, and a flash. Dee stood up quickly, stumbling a bit but maintaining her balance. Her sharp eyes flashed around the room in less than a second, her face twisted in anger.

"Where's Jenny?" She practically growled out at the group. Audrey looked up from Michael's chest with watery eyes, shook her head at Dee, and sobbed once again before burying her face in Michael's arms and crying. Michael just looked at Dee with a grim expression, sighed, and went back to focusing on Audrey. Zach didn't even bother to look at Dee, simply staring off into space and muttering about dreams.

Dee ground her teeth together, fighting back the fear that flooded her at seeing her friends like this. She turned to Tom - who still was passed out on the floor - and shook him lightly to wake him up. When that didn't work, Dee used more force, yelling, "Tom! Wake the hell up!" Finally, Tom's eyelids fluttered and he opened his eyes with a start, reaching for Dee in shock and grabbing her by the arms to stop the shaking.

"W-what?!" He yelled back, eyes questioning and hard at the same time. "Where's Jenny?" Dee shook her head at him.

"I don't know. Michael, Audrey, and Zach won't tell me. I can only assume that Julian took her and left us here." She replied, then thought for a moment before continuing. "And that fire must be gone, feel how cool it is now?" Dee asked, sighing and helping Tom up.

"Yes.." He muttered as an answer, then his hazel eyes clouded over and his face flushed in anger. "Where's Jenny?!" He asked again, to nobody in particular. Dee just looked at him quietly, her ebony features closed off and showing no emotion. Anger took over Tom's mind, controlling his actions as he began to knock things over, throw desks and chairs, until he wore himself out and simply fell down, his knees pulled up to his chest and his hands on his face. "Damn.. damn..." He muttered, almost sounding like Zach.

"It's not your fault, Tom." Dee said, bending down next to him and placing a hand on his shoulder in reassurance. Tom didn't look convinced.

"Sure it was. I couldn't protect her. I tried to, but I couldn't protect her."

"No," Dee said with more urgency. "You tried to protect her, but you were over-powered. Hell, I was. We tried, we were over-powered. I will not let you blame yourself for this. Not when we should be figuring out a way to leave this place, find Jenny, and get out of here." She finished, tightening her grip on Tom's shoulder and curling her lip in a slight frown. "That wont be easy, but we'll get it done, right?" Tom shook his head slightly, but nodded, stopped muttering, and straightened out his legs before standing up again.

"You're right, Dee. We'll find her.." He quietly said, looking at the floor. Determination slowly crept in and Tom's gaze hardened. He repeated, "We'll find her. We'll get out." Dee nodded and patted his shoulder, looking back at Audrey and Michael. Then Zach. Audrey stopped crying, looking up at Dee and Tom with half-teary eyes and hair in a mess. Audrey saw Dee looking at her and both of her hands went up to fix her hair almost unconsciously, showing Dee she was gathering herself. With a nod at Dee, Audrey leaned up to kiss Michael, then get off his lap and stand, pulling him up along.

"Aud?" Michael asked, giving her an almost innocent look. "Are you gonna be okay?" He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and waited for her response. Finally, she leaned on Michael and gave a nod.

"I will. But I don't think Zach will be." She said, pointedly putting the spotlight on Zach, who was muttering incoherently now, biting his lip and glaring at the wall. Hearing his name, Zach looked up at the people standing there with a confused look.

"What?" He asked, seeing the copper-haired girl look at him sympathetically. "What?" Zach asked again, irritated. Dee went up to him and put both hands on his shoulders, looking into his eyes directly.

"Zachary, snap out of it." She commanded, lightly slapping his cheek. It stung, and Zach gave her a look before raising a hand to his cheek to rub it. Dee took his hand and slapped him again. The pain did its job, snapping Zach back into reality. For how long, only God knows.

"Okay, maybe I was wrong." Audrey murmured to Michael. Dee turned back to Audrey, Michael, and Tom. Zach stood next to her, his gray eyes wary.

"We need to figure out how to get out of here." She said, and the group nodded.
