(last chapter) "Gotcha, bitch," the boy laughed while pulling the gun once again up towards Freddy's temple as Katie's entire body went numb.
"What did you call her?" Freddy asked through clenched teeth as he drove his elbow into the boy's jaw. The mysterious teenager winced with pain before he dropped his gun and rested against the wall to keep his dizzy body steady. Freddy reacted to the situation quickly by shouting for Katie and taking off down the hallway. They were not fast enough, however, to avoid the angry shots produced by a flailing arm. The masked boy had retrieved the gun from the ground and was shooting it haphazardly in all directions.
"You can't run forever," he shouted after them as he raised the gun more carefully and took one more shot. Freddy's shout echoed through the nearly empty hallway as the bullet pierced into his skin. He clumsily stumbled to the ground, not able to hold his own weight up and fight against the pain that surged through him. Katie shrieked as she saw the blood pour from her best friend's numb body that lay on the cold ground.
"Freddy!" she cried, outstretching her hands toward him while she lowered herself to the ground beside him. She looked up with a mixture of mascara and tears staining her beautiful face. Standing right before her was the cold hearted boy that had possibly just killed her friend. His eyes did not show panic or remorse, instead they simply showed indifference. He stared right back at her for a few seconds before placing his gun upon the ground and kicking in her direction.
"You'll have more use for this than I will after your superstar dies," he told her with a piercing voice that sent chills down Katie's spine. She stared at the gun while the boy's buckled boots produced a haunting sound with each step he took away from her.
"Don't you dare touch that," Freddy whispered to his friend as he fought to keep his eyes open and show the small amount of life that still sparked within him.
"Don't you dare leave me," she whispered back before squeezing his hand tightly and promising to find help. She sat for a moment, trying to figure out what to do, watching Freddy's long breaths become more and more shallow. Before she had the time to react she heard another set of footsteps coming down the hallway. She prayed with all her might that it was nobody dangerous this time.
"Help!" she immediately yelled with her loudest voice, "My friend's been shot! Please help!"
The seconds between these shouts and the response that Katie got made it seem like an eternity had passed. She placed her shaking hand upon Freddy's forehead and stroked his dirty blonde hair.
"Come on, Freddy. Stay with me, love. People are coming," she assured him as the footsteps grew closer, "Stay with me, darling."
Finally two older men, who appeared to be in their forties or fifties, appeared in front of them dressed in full police uniform. A sigh of relief escaped from Katie's lips and she pleaded for their help.
"Be calm. We have EMTs coming in right now. They're going to help your friend," the first cop with graying brown hair promised her.
"Hear that?" she asked Freddy quietly, "We're not letting you go anywhere."
A slight smile seemed to appear on his face, but it quickly disappeared. His eyes darted back in forth in a frenzy of panic before he settled for looking directly at Katie. He didn't say a word, but it was clear to her that Freddy was worried about something.
"What's wrong, Freddy?" she asked him, concerned.
"My… my legs," he told her quietly, but Katie did not seem to understand. She looked over towards his two legs that lay sprawled across the cement floor. They weren't in any particular position, but she didn't see any problem with them.
"What? They're fine. What about them?" she asked again.
"I can't… they won't… they won't move," he finally spat out with a look of struggle upon his face.
