Hello our lovely and loyal readers! We're back! BOO! Don't scare them away! Eeeep! Sorry, I am no ghostie, don't be scared! It's true! Not that you'd believe it, but she's the queen of fluff! Hehe, fluffy! But on to a serious matter. We should tell you, this is the last chapter of our story. Sad face! But who knows! Carly and I may do another collab story in the future!Yeah, maybe! (If she agrees to let me be Dan for a day) You know what Carly, since this is the last chapter you're allowed to be Dan. Really? Yes, really! Live it up! YES! IS THIS LIFE OR IS THIS FANTASY? Haha, enjoy our last chapter! Go read, okay, and review!
Disclaimer: You know... Being Dan isn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't own Victorious but I'm not sure about "Dan". I DON'T WANNA BE DAN ANYMORE. Alright! CARLY doesn't own Victorious and neither does Casey (Yeah, that was in third person. Got a problem?) Yay! I like being me! Okay, go read the story, and you better review, or I'll eat you. I'm hungry, and I haven't eaten all day ):
"And what deal would that be?" Eliza asks.
"I'll produce each and every one of your plays if you let us all out of here alive." Tori replied holding up the stack of plays in her arms.
"And if I say no?" Eliza questioned.
"Then I destroy your plays one by one." Tori said holding up a pair of scissors in her other hand.
Eliza glared at her, before a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her ghostly face. "I could make you drop dead, here and now. You're on my terms, not yours."
"True, but you don't want to kill me if I know something that you don't." Tori said trying to hide her fear.
"What could you possibly know that I don't?" Eliza asked her, walking - well, rather floating - in a circle around Tori.
"Well, for a start, the others weaknesses and, most importantly, their plan for escape." Tori said a small smile forming as she spoke.
"So, you expect me to believe that you'd sell out your friends, for your own safety?" Eliza said, her eyebrows furrowing. "Does it look like I died yesterday?"
"Let's face it. You and I both know that I'm not the one that's been bothering you. It's them. I didn't even want to come!" Tori said her head following Eliza as she floated.
"Prove it." Eliza glared at her, not quite believing this alliance. "Go on and prove your loyalty."
"Well, we've got Jade. Her weakness obviously losing Beck. If you can get him, you can get her. Robbie's is Cat. He'd do anything for her. Beck's is obviously having anything happen to Jade. Andre's is, well, me. If he thinks you killed me, he'll be too crushed to carry on." Tori told her, feeling a drip of guilt for selling her friends out like this.
An evil smirk pulled up the corners of Eliza's mouth. "Alright..." Tori looked at her with a hopeful smile, and Eliza shrugged at her. "Alright, if you agree to produce every single one of my plays, you can leave." Eliza told her with an evil smirk. "But only you. The rest stay."
"Fine by me." Tori replied with a wave of relief washing over her.
Eliza disappeared, leaving a single window unlocked, her final words dripping down the condensation. "We have a deal."
Tori climbed out of the window and made her way to the asphalt cafe. As soon as she was out of the school she pulled out her phone, which now had service, and dialed her dad's number. "God, I hope they're ok." Tori whispered under her breath.
Eliza drifted into the room containing the rest of the group, her evil gleeful smile splayed across her face. Jade glared at Eliza while the others avoided her gaze.
"Where's Tori?" Andre finally asked.
"Gone." Eliza smirked at them, with half of a shrug.
"Gone where?" Jade questioned.
"Gone." Eliza stated again. "History. She's not coming back for you." She told them with a disturbing smile.
"You mean she just left?" Beck asked unable to believe Tori would do that to them.
"Yep." Eliza said with a sarcastic sad frown. "She sold you all out, to gain her own freedom."
"Bu- but Tori wouldn't do that to us," Cat said in a small voice. "She's our friend."
Eliza came up to her, and slung her transparent arm around Cat's shoulder, making the girl squeak in fright. "Oh, but she did, little one." She tapped her nose, and Cat backed away from her obviously terrified. "She told me exactly what you fear most, in exchange for her safety. So now, you all belong to me."
"Well, unlike Tori, we plan to stick together." Jade said standing in between Cat and Eliza.
Eliza simply shrugged and gave out one final laugh before disappearing
"I can't believe she just sold us out like that!" Jade fumed. "After all of this she just sells us out and leaves! She's such a gank." Jade finished sliding down the pillar of the wall.
"It can't be true." Cat said. "She wouldn't just leave us. Tori's not like that."
"Well she did." Jade spat to herself. "I knew that I should have gone. I swear if I ever get out of here, I'm going to chop Vega into a million tiny pieces with my scissors."
"What do you think Eliza's going to do to us?" Robbie asked the others.
Cat looked up. "I think that asking for candy bunnies is a definite no, right?" Cat asked with a pout before she slumped to the ground, defeated.
The others looked at her sadly and Robbie sat down next to her and put a comforting arm around her shoulder.
Eliza returned and Jade glared at her. Eliza gave her a bone chilling smile and all the sudden Jade grabbed her stomach and winced in pain. Beck hurried over to her.
"Jade? What's wrong?" He asked. She moved her hand away from her stomach and saw her fingers covered in blood. "Beck?" She called her breath shaking slightly.
Beck's hand found her's and immediately tried to find the source of the blood. He pulled up her shirt just slightly and saw the words 'Actress' written in bloody letters across her stomach. Beck's eyes widened and he turned to face Eliza before his back started to burn. He dropped to his knees, bloody hand prints smeared on the floor.
"Beck!" Jade yelled ignoring the pain of her stomach to move over to him. He slid his flannel off and Jade cupped a hand to her mouth as she read the blood stain on the back of his shirt that read 'Actor'.
"Funny really," Eliza said to the couple," You two probably would've gotten married, you know, if I wasn't going to kill you."
Cat gave a horrified scream, catching Eliza's attention. "You're next, little cupcake." Cat's eye filled with tears, and she shook her head rapidly.
"P-please, stop!" She gasped behind cupped hands, and gave a horrified scream as her arm twisted in an unnatural direction. Ugly black bruises appearing in the word, 'singer'.
"Leave her alone!" Robbie yelled dropping Rex. Just as he was about to go over to comfort hysterical Cat, his leg was twisted unnaturally. He rolled up the pant of his leg and at the base of his knee, a bruised spelled out 'geek'.
Cat whimpered, holding her arm, as Robbie fell before her, and she crawled over to him, and Andre spoke up. "Okay, what on earth is-" He gave a shout, before he collapsed onto the floor, seemingly lifeless. Blood pouring out of his fingertips, and splattering in letters. 'Musician'.
As the remaining members of the group huddled together on the floor, Eliza gave out a blood curdling laugh. She was finally going to do it. She would finally get her revenge on the school and her death.
Jade grabbed Beck's hand, and stood slowly, marching forward, her body hunched over despite the pain in her stomach. "So this is what you want?" Jade asked her, grimacing as her body reacted to the pain. "Killing off more talent, just so you can avenge yourself." Jade shook her head. "Pathetic." Something invisible hit Jade in the face, causing her mouth to bleed, and she just gave a grunt as she collapsed to the floor. "When I die, I'm coming back to haunt you!" She spat some of the blood that was rancid in her mouth at Eliza's feet, making Eliza gasp angrily.
"Well if you're so eager to die, why don't I kill you first?" Eliza said sticking out a hand summoning one of the scissors off Jade's locker.
Jade glared up at her through her thick lashes, her ice blue eyes like daggers. "You don't scare me, you're dead. You're the past. No one is going to remember you, and you're going to go right back to where you were before we came here. Nothing but an old ghost story."
Eliza glared at her knowing she was right. "Who cares? I've still got that Tori girl alive." Eliza raised the scissors and just as she started to thrust them down the door to the school flew open making everyone freeze except for Beck, who dragged Jade by the waist out of Eliza's reach.
Jade basically collapsed onto him, wheezing at the pain in her lungs. He held her tightly, whispering in her ear that he had her, and that he wasn't going to let Eliza hurt her. Tori entered through the door, the script pages fisted in her hand.
"See," Tori started "I wouldn't sell my friends out if my life depended on it."
Cat gave a pained smile "I knew she wouldn't leave us." She said happily to Robbie.
Eliza's eyes turned red in fury, knocking Tori to the ground. Cat whimpered at the unpleasant crash, and buried her face in Robbie's shoulder. Eliza was infuriated. "You traitor!" She screamed, and flung the scissors in the direction of Tori's chest, hoping to spear it right through. Jade who had regained a pinch of strength leaped forward Eliza's plaque in her hands, sliding just in front of Tori, the blades making contact with the plaque, saving Tori's life.
Tori's dad stormed into the school his eyes growing wide at the sight of Eliza. He shined a flashlight on her and the beam went straight through her. "Oh my God." He said under his breath. Eliza let out one final growl before disappearing.
Tori moved over to Jade who was inspecting the place where the scissors had sunk into the plaque. "Jade, thank you, you know, for saving me." Tori said awkwardly.
"It's not that big a deal. I mean, you did save us after all." Jade said, but then rolled her eyes. "But if you ever do anything like that little stunt again, you're a goner, Vega." She wheezed, pressing her hand back to her stomach. She was surprised to see that the cuts had vanished.
The others injuries had vanished as well. Andre groggily began to sit up and Tori rushed over to him, giving him a tight hug while trying not to hurt him.
Officer Vega came around, checking all of them, making sure they were alright. It was as if nothing had happened, they were all physically untouched. One would never know the horrors they had seen, and there was no trace of Eliza, except for the phantom piano music of Moonlight Sonata drifting through the empty hallways, accompanied by Eliza's evil laugh.
As Dan would say: And that's a wrap everybody!
