Chapter Six: Psychosis/Vengeance
Chris and Ashley helped Kitty into the Lodge and settled her carefully to sit on the sofa. They exchanged worried glances for her before Chris had to head upstairs to check for Sam and Kevin.
Ashley waited downstairs, watching over Kitty as they waited for Sam to return.
Kitty was where they had put her on the sofa, but her knees were drawn up under her chin and she had her chin resting on it, the sobbing stopped but silent tears running down her cheeks. She looked blankly ahead at the wall, not seeming to be seeing anything, though.
Chris came running back down the stairs, but carefully so he wouldn't fall.
"They weren't up there?" Ashley asked Chris.
"I don't know... I didn't see them. They must have come down here" he told her, and took a glance to Kitty, before looking back over at Ashley.
"We haven't seen them either," Ashley told him. She jumped as a candle near her suddenly lit up. "Ahh! Did that just happen?" she yelped, and then let out a breath.
"Dammit! What is going on around here?" Chris said, annoyed and a little jumpy himself.
"Come on Kitty, let's go look for Sam and Kevin..." Ashley said softly, moving over to the girl and trying to gently unfurl her so she could help her up and they could walk.
Kitty didn't allow herself to be unfurled. "You guys go... I'll be fine here..." she murmured quietly.
"Come on, we can't leave you alone with the Psycho on the loose" Chris tried, trying to help get Kitty to come with them.
"No... I'll be fine" the girl said, her voice going softer and slightly distant.
Chris sighed softly and looked at Ashley. "We'll be back soon Kitty, stay safe," he told Kitty. "Let's go" he then told Ashley quietly, worried for Kitty but knowing she was stubborn when she wanted to be.
"O-Okay..." Ashley said quietly before she went with Chris to go and search for Sam and Kevin.
Kitty didn't react to them leaving other than to move so her face was pressed to her knees.
'They killed Josh, both of them had a hand in killing Josh~' her thoughts whispered to her. 'Chris chose to save Ashley, the only one he truly liked... And Ashley only wanted to be saved, she didn't want Josh to be saved...' they continued.
"They killed Josh..." Kitty whispered outloud herself, quietly, though. She flinched as a hand rested itself on the back of her head, running its fingers through the shorter locks.
"I can help you" the voice of the Psycho came, sounding gentle. He stroked her hair softly and then moved so he was infront of her.
Kitty looked up slowly, tears and tearstreaks running down her cheeks. "... help?" she asked quietly, her voice distant but her eyes becoming sharper as she focused on the eyeholes in the mask.
"Yes, I can punish those who hurt Joshua," the Psycho told her, and then removed his hand from her hair and holding it out for her to take. "I may have set the trap, but I wasn't the one who made Christopher choose to save Ashley," he told her, watching and waiting to see what she would do.
Kitty looked down slowly to his hand and then up to his masked face. She slowly reached out and took his gloved hand allowing him to pull her up. "Just don't... kill them" she said softly.
The Psycho nodded and his hand moved to gently but firmly grip her wrist before he spun her around so her back was to him. "Go ahead and walk... I'll guide you" he told her, before they started walking.
Kitty allowed him to gently move her in the way they would need to take as they walked, not caring that he obviously wanted her in front of him so she wouldn't try to run away or grab something to hit him.
They walked until they came close to where Ashley and Chris were.
Chris had his back to them and the Psycho took the gas chamber off his back and used the gas mask to knock Chris out.
"CHRIS!" Ashley screamed, then noticed the Psycho had Kitty in his grasp too. "KITTY!" she yelled in fear.
She tried to stab the Psycho with the scissors she had picked up but didn't manage to stab him in time. "Nooooo!" she yelled.
"Good effort!" The psycho praised her, though she had failed. He then knocked Ashley out with gas. "Really good effort!" he repeated as she lost consciousness.
He took the two and tied them up to chairs, though he left one of Chris' arms free. He also placed a gun in front of Chris. He looked at Kitty after doing this, a little pleased she hadn't tried to stop him.
"Please, go and take that seat" the Psycho told Kitty then, pointing out a chair that had wheels on it but also had armrests.
Kitty went and sat down, wondering why he wanted her to sit down. She blinked as the Psycho tied her hands and arms to the armrests and tied her ankles together before positioning them so her ankles could be strapped to the bar underneath. "Why am I tied up?" she asked him quietly.
"I need you to keep watching this, but can't have you escaping now can we?" the Psycho informed her. He then stood up and pulled his mask up just enough to uncover his mouth and he pressed his lips to Kitty's kissing her passionately.
Kitty gave a small gasp but her eyes drifted closed as she melted into the kiss.
After a few seconds the Psycho pulled back and re-covered his mouth again, clearing his throat a little. "Sorry..." he muttered before he left the room.
Kitty opened her eyes and she bit her lower lip as she looked down.
Chris groaned a little then and opened his eyes slowly as Ashley was slowly waking up too. "Ohh... oh crap... Ash? ASH!" he shouted, seeing her barely awake.
"What is this?..." Ashley whimpered quietly.
"This is him. This is the guy who killed Josh -" Chris said quietly.
"No, Chris... Oh my god no! Oh god... Chris!" Ashley shouted in fear.
Chris noticed Kitty tied up to a chair near them and then looked up to the air, the best he could do. "You murdering piece of shit! You MONSTER!" he shouted loudly, about the Psycho.
"Look around! We're gonna die, Chris! - I don't think I'm ready to die..." Ashley cried, she then noticed Kitty too. "Kitty are you okay?" she asked her also worried for her.
"Yes... I'm okay" she said quietly.
"No-one is going to die" Chris tried to soothe Ashley.
"I wish I could tell you... it's just not fair!" the girl in question cried.
"What? ... Tell me what?" Chris asked her, looking at her confused.
"It's too late! Chris, what's the point?!" Ashley sobbed to him.
"Stop it, just say..." Chris said.
Kitty watched the scene with almost cold eyes. It wasn't fair, she knew what Ashley wanted to say, and it just wasn't fair, she could never tell Josh how she felt.
"We're always talking around it, and now, I mean, we've wasted everything!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Ashley... none of it was wasted," Chris said quietly, looking lovingly at her.
"What do you mean?" Ashley asked, still in a sob but in a confused too.
"Every second that I spent with you was the only thing I ever wanted to do with my time." the guy told her, his voice soft and soothing but filled with sincerity.
"What are you saying, Chris?" Ashley asked, still confused but hopefully.
"I'm sorry... I should have told you how I felt," he told her gently.
"Chris...!" Ashley gasped.
"Ashley, I swear, when we get out of this-" Chris started, with a slight smile to her though it was a worried look too.
Just before Chris could say anything else a saw started up above their heads. It also started to slowly descend towards them.
"Oh god!" Chris gasped.
Kitty looked a bit surprised and scared then. Did the masked man lie to her?
"AHH! No! Help, Chris! Ashley exclaimed in fear.
"Ashley- I'll get you out of this! I won't let you die!" Chris promised her.
Ashley screamed and sobbed in fear.
"Hello there my special little subjects and our little Kitten" the voice of the Psycho greeted them.
"I'm so scared Chris!" Ashley sobbed, as the saw was still slowly descending.
"Don't be scared-" Chris started to say to her, but was interrupted by the Psycho.
"Oh, you should be, Ash, because here's the twist: Chris has made one fatal choice already today," the Psycho started.
"Oh no... no..." Ashley whimpered.
"-and now he must make another. Chris... you can take that gun in front of you and shoot Ashley, or you can shoot yourself. Whoever is left, can live! The choice is yours" the Psycho told them.
Chris attempted to shoot the saw, after picking up the gun.
The Psycho chuckled. "Don't be so silly, Chris" he told the other guy.
Chris knew that he couldn't do anything so he turned the gun on himself.
"Wait, stop, you can't do it Chris, it should be me. You chose to save me before, let me choose this time... Let me choose to save you!" Ashley begged the guy she loved. At the sight of him choosing to point the gun at himself she knew he loved her and wanted to save him, even though she was terrified.
Chris looked lovingly at Ashley. "Love you," he said. He then closed his eyes.
"If I do one last thing in my life let me do this! Chris, please. Oh god... No! Oh god..." Ashley begged him.
Chris pulled the trigger, the gun pointed at his chin, he would save the girl he loved no matter what.
