Well its time for another chapter of Twisted Hearts and yet I still feel that I should re-enficize that there will be a death in this story. The real question is... WHO? Well look no further than this chapter right here. I hope you all enjoy it. Also, please check out the new poll I made and vote on who you think is the best couple in the story. As an added bonus, the winning couple will be guaranteed to survive this ordeal and will be given a smut fic in their honor. (rated M of course) the runner up will recieve a one-shot sequal (rated T or M depending on how I feel) and the rest are fair game. I may let them all survive, I may kill all but one. NOBODY knows what to expect, not even myself. So if you wanna guarantee that you'll see your character make it then VOTE VOTE VOTE! TODAY!

Chapter 8: Unexpected Outcome

The small group looked in shock at the news they recieved.

"Lane... i the third killer?" Jamar asked worriedly.

Charles simply nodded as Tori dressed his wounds. Jade squeezed her new boyfriend's hand tightly trying to bury the newfound anger building up inside of her. Trina huddled under Rashad still trying to get warm but now, also trying to convince herself that she'll be safe. Rashad wrapped his arms around her with the blanket and kissed her forehead.

"Well, then what should we do? We have a crazed classmate, a possible psychotic teacher, and NOW a lunatic masochist of a guidence counselor hunting and pitting us against death as a game?" Trina asked; sounding as if she was hyperventalating.

"Calm down Tori... its gonna be alright." Rashad cooed in her ear; relaxing her.

"Well nonetheless, we should all at least rest up then go look for the other's..." Jamar suggested, earning a nod from the others.

Unknown Location (Hidden section of the school.)

Cat and Anna Marie sat silent as they were forced to witness the systematic torture of Ryan and Beck. Everything ranging from baseball bats to crowbars were used by the lone hooded figure. Cat allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks as she could do nothing else but watch her's and Anna's torture be inflicted on the already battered boys. Flesh was opened, blood was spilled and yet there was still no sign of defeat from the boys.

"Hmmm... you two are much tougher than you look. It seems that I'll have to up the anty." only a sinister smirk was visible underneath his hood. He turned around and began to walk away into the darkness.

"W-wait L-Lane..." He stopped dead in his tracks.

"What did you call me?..."

Amidst his bloodied mouth, Beck smiled a soft smile as his suspicions were confirmed.

"Why are you doing this?" in his voice wasnt anger but of concern and curiousity.

The man pulled down his hood and gazed at each of the captive students. His eyes eventually settled on Cat who was suprised and confused.

"Sinjin... he had this plan to get money and revenge." he started while being sure not to make eye contact with Beck. "I told him that in order to truly be taken seriously, he needed to stand up and take charge. Unfortunately, he went way overboard and here we are."

"That doesnt explain why YOURE doing this." Ryan yelled out. "Just because Sinjin is in charge of this whole demented scheme doesnt tell us why youre roped in all of this!"

Lane could feel the anger and rage emanating from Ryan and he knew that it was justified. However, he couldn't help but wonder... Why?

Woodshop Class

Ryanna and Andre were panicking. Thanks to his excellent music skills, Ryanna was freed from the cutting table but now they were trying to desperately get Andre's ankle loose from the chain. Pulling and yanking did no good so she decided on a new option. Andre looked on in horror as she managed an evil smirk to form on her lips carrying a rusty chain saw.

"WHOA WHOA!" he tried to wave her away; scooting towards the far corner.

"It's the only way, Andre..." she stalked over towards him; trapping him like a rat.

All he could do was attempt to protect himself only to hear the sounds of metal being sawed.

"Gotcha..." she smiled at him as the last parts of the chain fell to the ground.

"Why?" He screamed while clutching his heart. His face was etched in terror.

"Because, you look kinda cute..." Ryanna trailed off as her face turned a deep shade of pink. "...when youre scared."

Andre noticed her turn away and giggle slightly.

"Well, you look cute..." he trailed off scratching his head. "...period..."

She turned back to him and smiled. Now Andre was seriously terrified. The only time she ever smiles was when she was up to something. Ryanna leaned in a kissed his cheek earning a look of surprise from the young musician. He was lucky that he couldnt blush or at the very least not have it visible.

"What are you trying to say, Andre?" she whispered as she inched closer.

"I-I guess Im s-saying I've gone wonky for you..." he let out a weak chuckle as she grinned and giggled.

"I guess Ive gone wonky for you too then." she took his hand and closed the distance between them and kissed him again.

As she wrapped her arms around his neck, he held her firm yet at the same time gently.

"What do you say we get out of here and head to a more safe place?" he suggested; putting on a smile that seemed to illuminate her spirits. She nodded in approval as he took her hand and left the erie woodshop.

Black Box Theatre

Everyone was sound asleep except Jade who seemed to have one eye open as she laid in Jamars arms. The darkness and silence in the air helped for her to detect if anything was going on that shouldnt be. Her greenish blue eyes were especially focused on the main door that was adjacent to where she was supposed to be sleeping. She looked around to see that Tori was sleeping soundly under Charles who was leaning against one of the beams in the audience. Looking above the main doors, she noticed Trina was huddled against Rashad who seemed to enjoy every second. The peaceful smile on both of their faces actually made her heart melt.

"You finally found love..." she whispered letting a slight smirk form against her lips.

"...She's not the only one..."

Jade eyes widened. Looking back she felt Jamar shift his weight so that they both could be comfortable.

"Didnt know you were awake." she yawned quietly noted.

"...and I didnt know you were snooping around..." he whispered in her ear.

Jade loved this feeling that Jamar gave her. She leaned into him more as she allowed her smirk to return.

"I just wanted to make sure that we were safe... thats all..."

Jamar understood and kissed her hairline then wrapped her in his arms again.

"Don't worry... we're fine and Im sure the others are too..."

Suddenly, the door burst open, startling everyone.

"Guys!" It was Andre and Ryanna. "Robbie and Bella! They're hurt!"

Okay so maybe this chapter couldve been longer but Im really pushing forward to the remaining three couples. Beck/Anna, Robbie/Bella Donna, and Ryan/Cat. Ive decided to dedicate the next chapter strictly to those three since somehow I keep ending up back the already safe couples. Don't worry, someone is going to die and I now know who it will be but keep the votes going and i may change my mind.
