Bat Country: The Life and Times of Johnny Christ
part 6
By: Princess Vengeance™
Summer and Johnny stared hopelessly as the walls slowly moved towards them.
"We gotta get out of here!" Johnny jumped up and grabbed Summer's hand. They ran over to the door and surprisingly opened it. The walls were moving faster. Johnny pushed Summer out into the dark hallway and then ran out behind her. He slammed the rusty door. This hallway was not there before…or was it? Were there two doors. Johnny's head began to spin.
"What do we do now?" Summer asked. Her voice was full of fear and confusion. Why was Matthew doing this? Did he get pleasure from watching people suffer? Summer and Johnny began wondering down the narrow hallway. The only light was a hanging light on the ceiling. It flickered as they walked farther. Then after about three minutes of walking, they came to yet another door.
HBHS
Matt stared at the cheerleaders as the other guys set up their instruments.
"Okay we're ready for a sound check," Brian snapped his fingers to try to get Matt's attention.
"Oh okay." he got into his place and they started playing the beginning of Forgotten Faces.
Their new bass player Casey was actually a girl. She had a lot of talent and the guys were really getting attached to her. The cheerleaders looked over and when the guys were done Zack gave one of them his award-winning smiles. The day was going perfect. That was until Jimmy got a call on his cell phone.
Summer's Point of View
We came to a door and Johnny slowly opened it. Inside it was brightly lit. There was no TV but they could hear Matthew's sinister voice in the speaker system.
"Well hello my friends," he began in a devilish tone. I made an angry scowl as I heard the voice that was absolutely Matthew Regina Wendt's. "Wanna hear one of my favorite songs?" he asked. "It's an original called…well you'll see." Suddenly the room was filling with an intense and searing collection of noises. There was screeching and howling. Mind boggling buzzing and earth shattering ringing. It was like being truly in hell, and it was at maximum volume. I covered my ears, as did Johnny. At first, all we could do was stand there. My head was throbbing and my ears felt as if they were bleeding. I ran over to the rusty door. It opened and Johnny ran back out into the hall. The noise was still filling the halls. I began to scream. Johnny blacked out. Then so did I.
Jimmy's Point of View
That Same Day
We all sat in Sam's living room. Everyone was there. His parents, his friends, friends of Johnny. Mrs. Seward was wailing in her husband arms. You would too if you just found out that your son was dead. The police had arrived earlier that day and told every one that Johnny was no where to be found all we could do now was assume the worst. Johnny was dead. I had known him pretty much my whole life and I had spent most of it torturing him. Now that he was dead, all I could feel in my heart was a big emptiness. The police also said that Summer was probably dead too. Sam sat with his head in his hands. Matt walked over and pat him on the back. Nobody could really say anything. There was nothing to say.
Narrator
Therefore, as Huntington Beach mourned the loss of Johnny Christ, Johnny who was actually still alive would be finding out that if he were going to escape the clutches of Matthew he would have to fight harder than ever.
Johnny's Point of View
Summer and I woke up in yet another room. My head throbbed and my ears were still buzzing. This one was small and cramp and had nothing in it. It stank of old corps but looked clean.
"Are you okay?" I asked Summer. She slowly nodded her head. Good, that meant she wasn't deaf.
"What are we going to do now? Did we just loose?" She asked her voice still full of terror. The TV in the corner of this new room popped on.
"Why yes you did," The voice almost laughed. "I don't know if Johnny already explained this to you Summer but when you loose this game…" The voice paused a dramatic pause and then whispered, "You die." Summer gasped. "Now while you were sleeping I have been going through ways of how I should painfully end your lives." Johnny held on to Summer as he could see that she was in a complete state of panic. "I was like: I could set them on fire…turn their room into a gas chamber…cut off their limbs one by one…" The voice kept on going on and on. "But then I came to the conclusion I would only sleep well at night if I knew that I killed you myself. So in a little bit I will be coming to your room to end your lives. Enjoy your last moments together." There was one more disturbingly evil laugh and the TV turned off. Summer had tears rushing down her face.
"Johnny it hasn't been that long but I just want to say that I love you," Johnny took her in his arms.
"I love you too Summer, I love you too." they kissed for what would be the first and the last time. Johnny just held her close in his arms. They were both thinking hard. Neither one of them would have a chance to tell their families how much they truly loved them. Tonight their lives were going to end.
About One Hour Later
The rusty metal door opened and in walked Matthew. He looked like a raging psychopath. His hair was messy and his clothes were tattered. His eyes were red. The most disturbing thing that he brought along was not the small handgun in his left hand or the jagged knife in his right, but the evil and distorted smile he wore on his face.
"Summer you're first…," he whispered. He motioned for Johnny to move away from her. Johnny did not budge and Summer had to push him away with tears in her eyes. "Good boy," Matthew smiled. He positioned the knife in his hand and headed over to Summer. He paused for a second and looked over at Johnny. "Don't even try to save her. You brought this upon yourself. Didn't your mother ever tell you to stay away from crazy people? -laugh- Well Johnny if you make any bad moves I'll just shoot you so many times your ass will end up looking like Swiss cheese." He laughed again. This was going to be the end.
