Chapter 9: First Attempt on the First Victim
Katie POV
"So, big brother, what are we going to do on this fine evening?"
"I don't know Katie. Any ideas?"
"How about . . . a movie!" Carlos excitedly suggested.
"Ok. What movie?" Kendall asked.
"Spiderman!" I said
Kendall gave me a weird look.
"What? You love Spiderman."
"I'll get the drinks and the popcorn." Logan said.
"I'll take care of the movie." Carlos said putting the DVD in the player and turning on the screen.
"I'll get James." Kendall stood up and walked toward the room that James shared with Carlos.
"Whoa!" I said sliding in front of him and putting up my arms, blocking him from even opening the door.
"Why are you stopping me from going in, baby sister? Are you hiding something from me?" He raised his eyebrow.
"No. Psshhh. I'm just preventing you from listening to . . . um . . . 'pretty talk'."
"Pretty talk?"
"Yeah. He can go on and on about hair, clothes and . . . Cuda! Trust me. You do not want to hear him talk about Cuda. So, let me talk to him and ask him." I opened the door and quickly shut it before he even got a chance to peak in the room.
"Come on Kendall, the movie is starting." Carlos said.
I heard Kendall's footsteps. I opened the door enough for my head to fit. I had to check if Kendall was gone. When I saw that he was seated on the couch, I went out and sat beside him. I saw that his attention was all directed to the movie because when I sat down he didn't even ask me if James wanted to watch.
"I am awesome." I thought as I got a fistful of popcorn and shoved it into my mouth.
When we were halfway through the movie, Logan suddenly tapped my shoulder and gave me his cell phone.
Hey Logie,
Can you please pick us up? Me and my date are here at some kind of restaurant with a lobster on the sign. My car broke down. Tell Katie I owe her big time.
James
I looked at Logan and mouthed 'Fine'. He got his cell phone from me and left. I faced the screen hoping that they get here before Kendall even notices that they are gone.
Logan POV
I picked James and his date up in my car and we all drove back to the Palm woods. When we arrived, he kissed his date before letting her go ahead in the elevator. Then, it was our turn.
"Hey, man. Thanks for picking me and my date up. I owe you." He said while walking into the elevator.
"You don't owe me and you're welcome." I said walking inside.
Marissa POV
I followed the two boys which I identified were Kendall's friends. I sprinkled star dust on the elevator. I smiled and took a seat on the couch.
"Let the show begin!"
Logan POV
The doors of the elevator closed and we started to move upward. Suddenly, the elevator stopped.
"What happened?" I asked.
James walked to the door and said, "I think we're stuck. Hey, let us out!" He banged on the door.
No, this can't be happening. I do not plan to die because of suffocation. I stated to panic and hyperventilate as I felt the walls slowly closing in on me. I sank down to the floor and shut my eyes.
James POV
I kept banging on the door and pressing the emergency buttons but nothing happened. I faced Logan and saw that he was curled up in the corner of the elevator. He was shaking, completely pale and sweaty.
"Logan, what's wrong?" I kneeled in front of him. He didn't answer, his eyes were shut and he was panting like he just chased something. Then it hit me, Logan was claustrophobic.
"Logan, Logan, breath." I started to panic when he didn't follow what I said. I grabbed my phone with shaking hands and dialed the first person I know could help us.
Kendall POV
We were almost done with the movie. I looked around and noticed that James and Logan were not on the couch. I faced Katie.
"Where are James and Logan?"
"James didn't want to watch and he's reading Cuda magazine in the room. Logan is in the bathroom again." She replied.
Then, my phone rang. I looked at the name of the caller. It was James. I took my phone and answered it.
"James," I chuckled "Are you really that lazy to get your butt out of your room and talk to me in person that you had to use your phone?"
I heard silence.
"James? James? This is not funny."
I heard sobbing on the other line.
"Kendall. We're stuck in the elevator. Me and Logan. You have to get us out. Please hurry."
The line went dead before I even had the chance to reply. I didn't think twice, actually, I didn't think at all. I ran out the door toward the elevator. If this was a joke, it wasn't funny. If this wasn't, I can't believe he broke a promise.
James POV
My phone died. No more battery. I didn't panic because if I did, I won't be able to focus. I sat beside Logan and put my arm around him. I felt his head as he put it on my shoulder. I hated hearing his shallow breathing but there is nothing I can do to help. My phone is dead so I can't call 911. I can't shout because I know no one will hear me. I'm not a doctor so I don't know what to do. I looked at his pale hands that were wrapped around his knees. I took one and started rubbing it.
"Logan, don't worry, help is coming."
Then, the lights went out.
Logan POV
I felt James' hand rubbing my hand and I can hear his voice telling me not to worry. I heard a sound and I tried to open my eyes to see what was that sound. I found out that there were no lights. The darkness was surrounding me. And all I remember was Kendall screaming James' and my name.
Kendall POV
"James! Logan!" I shouted on the doors of the elevator. I waited and I got a faint response from James.
"We are here Kendall!"
"How's Logan?"
"He's here. Please hurry."
After that, I heard quick footsteps and Carlos' voice.
"I . . . called . . . 911." He said out of breath. "They'll . . . be . . . here . . . in . . . a . . . few . . . minutes." He took a deep breath. "How are they?"
"They are still there."
After a few minutes, firemen and paramedics were with us. When they opened the doors of the elevator, we saw that the elevator was stuck in between the first and second floor.
James POV
I heard people talking from the ceiling of the elevator. I figured that if we stand up, it would be easier for us to get out.
"Logan, come on, let's stand up."
He didn't speak nor did he show any sign of movement.
"Logan? Logan!"
I heard the vent of the elevator open and I saw a light from the flashlight that the men were holding. I stood up carrying Logan in the process. I was sobbing but with a firm voice I said.
"Take him first." I let the men take Logan away from me.
Kendall POV
I saw Logan being carried out of the elevator and put on a stretcher. I shouted his name but it looked like he didn't hear me. His eyes were shut and it looked like he wasn't breathing. When was loaded on to the stretcher, I saw his hand hanging on the side.
Marissa POV
I saw the boy being carried out of the building. I followed them and smiled.
"One down, two more left."
I snapped my fingers and I was back in my office.
Kendall POV
I chased the paramedics that were carrying Logan. I wanted to see Logan one more time to prove that what I saw was wrong. I stopped exactly in front of the ambulance, unable to move. I looked down.
"This can't be happening."
I found something on the ground and picked it up surprised at what I saw.
It was a picture of Logan with a big red X mark on it.
Author's Note: Wow that was long. I can't believe I did that to Logan. * sobs and gets tissues* Anyone want tissues? *hands out tissues* Anyway, please review.
