Chapter 13: Back from the dead?

Randy couldn't move. He was paralyzed in that spot. The shock- it just hit him like that. The fear he was feeling right now- he couldn't even describe it. The figure in front of him, it just couldn't be there. No. I'm hallucinating. Even though that's what Randy tried to believe, he knew he wasn't. It was real.

Candice on the other hand wasn't paralyzed. She was scared- but instead of staying there just like Randy or trying to run away, she was moving forward. Her mind was telling her to stop, but he body wasn't listing. She wanted to go, she wanted to be next to him, to touch him. To once again hear his voice.

Randy tried grabbing Candice's hand to make her stop, but she pushed him away. Her eyes were barely blinking, and tears were definitely there. "Ted" Candice whispered as she kept making her way to him.

"Candice" Randy said thinking it would stop her but it didn't. "Candice- don't"

"Ted" She repeated getting closer to him. "Its you, right?" tears were running down her face as a small smile slowly formed on her lips. "Please tell me its you"

"Candice?" His voice seemed to make both Randy and Candice's eyes pop out. Candice could see every detail in his face now. She noticed that he was also crying, he's eyes were red, while his face was covered in dirty. He was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt which was completely covered in blood and dirt. "Candice" he said one more time.

"Candice! Stay away from him" Randy yelled coming back to reality. He grabbed her hand even though she tried to push him away. Randy pulled Candice behind him and then turned to face Ted. "Your dead. You are not real" he was talking like he was trying to convince himself. "Your not real" He said again shaking his head.

"I know I died" Ted yelled.

"Your dead" Randy said yet again still trying to convince himself.

"really? Well that explains why I'm here" No one missed the sarcasm in his voice.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"Randy, stop it!"

"Candice I swear to god I'm going insane!" Randy angrily punched the wall with his right hand as he rubbed his head with the other hand.

"You?" Ted asked with a hint of mocking Randy in his tone. "Your going insane? LOOK AT ME! I'm the one going insane! LOOK!" Ted was now ripping his shirt of. Candice was shocked, she has never seen Ted this mad… this crazy. He was going insane.

"You see!?" Ted asked with more tears running down his cheeks "not one mark! Not one damn mark! DAMN IT!" He looked wild now. Ted was breathing heavily as he pointed to every part of his body. Just like he said, there was nothing.

"I felt the knife Randy! I felt the pain! I fucking felt my self take my last breath!" Ted kept yelling as he got closer to them. Randy of course was backing off but Candice couldn't seem to move. She was just stuck there staring at Ted.

"Ted" she whispered "your alive"

"Alive? No!" Ted yelled taking a step closer. "I'm not! I know I died, I had no chance to survive! The guy- he came in and told me- I-" Ted kept taking steps closer to Candice as he couldn't figure out what to say.

"Ted. Your alive. Look at yourself" Candice whispers still not moving. Randy was at least 5 steps behind her, looking at her with wide eyes.

"No! You don't understand! I cant be alive!" Ted Kept yelling now only inches away from her.

"Then explain why you are standing here!" Candice yelled back as tears kept running down her face.

"Explain how I can see you! Explain how you can talk! Explain how- how-" and that's when Candice reached out to him "Explain how I can touch you Teddy!" She was hugging him. Her head was pressed against his chest as her hands were tied around his waist. "Your alive, you're here"

Randy stood motionless as he watched Candice. He wanted to grab her and run away as far as he could with her. This wasn't possible. He saw Ted's body that day- well what was left of it. He knew the person in front of them couldn't be him. No matter how much he looked like him or sounded or even acted… this was not Ted- it couldn't be, right?

Candice kept crying as she hugged Ted. He, on the other hand didn't hug back. He just stood there, half shocked, half… well crazy. He didn't know what to think or do. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, he kept repeating in his mind but Candice's words were true. If he was dead… then why did he look so alive?

Ted was hesitating for a while- but then he finally decided to return the hug. He slowly started to lift his arms up and just as he was about to wrap them around Candice, Randy had pulled her away.

"Who the fuck are you" He hissed.

"Randy-"

"Goddamn Candice, I saw Ted that day. THIS CANT BE TED"

"But it is" To Randy's surprise it was someone else who spoke. He turned around to find himself facing a petit blonde he saw not to long ago.

"Jillian" Candice was speaking now "What-"

"No time. We need to get out of here before anyone sees him" Jillian spoke as she gestured towards Ted.

"And where exactly are we going?" Randy asked as he tried to hold back from laughing. I'm crazy- I'm insane. No, this is not real… just a nightmare. He thought.

"Doesn't matter. Just get everyone… ill explain-"

"Don't say later. Explain now" Candice said dryly. She wasn't in the mood anymore, Randy was sure she was slowly losing her mind just like he was losing his… this is just a nightmare.

"I cant, you… need to calm down for me to explain… its complicated." Jillian sighed before locking eye contact with Ted "I know what you must be thinking. You need to trustme, please come with me" she said addressing Ted who just stared at her the whole time. Then something in his mind clicked.

"I trust you" he said before he could stop himself- but he didn't regret it. He trusted her… even though he didn't know her, something in his mind told him that she could help. She could help keep him sane and maybe she could-

What am I thinking? No one could ever make me forget that night.

"So just like that? We just follow you wherever? And then what? You explain why the fuck my friend- dead friend is standing in front of me?" Randy spoke with attitude. Yup Orton, you reached the line. Your officially going nuts.

"Yes. Follow me" Jillian spoke with no regret, her voice was steady and firm "I have the answers you are looking for" and with that she turned around and made her way out. Soon followed by three figures that were surely loosing their sanity.

The ambulance couldn't go any slowed; so Maria thought.

These past what? 10 minutes? 20? 30? 1 hour? Ugh! She didn't even know, all she knew was that a life was in danger and the damn ambulance was taking to damn long to get to the hospital?

Her curiosity did get to her and she eventually asked. The answer she got made her wish she had never asked. The town they were currently at didn't have a hospital that was 'running properly'. Of course, the hospital had recently been closed because of that incident… where she lost her friend Ted Dibiase. So now all that was left is to go to the neighbouring town which was 30 minutes away.

Maria sat at the left corner of the ambulance. She was pressed against small equipment and some weird bags with god-knows-what in them. Hope its not blood. She thought before focusing her eyes on him.

He looked so peaceful. Almost angel like. His eyes were slightly closed while some of his hair covered his eyebrows. He had a couple of scratches over his face, but nothing was as bad as his body. His arm… and leg… and she didn't even want to start thinking of his waist. The paramedic that was sitting at the other left end had told her that the injuries were bad, but not life threatening- yet.

She sighed. What id something happened? What if he could never walk again? Or what if he was paralyzed or something? What if he couldn't move his hand anymore? Even worse… what if he died?

NO! Maria shook her head. He is not going to die, I wont let that happen. I cant let him die! No, he is my-

Maria froze. He is my what? As far as she was concerned, he wasn't even her friend. He was just… the guy that had once saved her life- even twice. Maria pushed her hair back from her face. When did all this care for him come? Of course, Maria is a caring person, she would care about anyone that was in some sort of trouble. Of course! That was it.

But then again… she knew it wasn't. What Maria felt towards him wasn't only care… it was something else. Sympathy? Compression? Admiration? Lov-

No, stop it! You don't even know him! You don't care that much! Maria looked up, she closed her eyes and then opened them again. By then, her brain had decided to ask her another question.

Why are you here then?

Someone needed to come. She didn't see Randy or Jeff or Candice or anyone for the matter willing to volunteer! He saved her life… why wouldn't she come? But then again… did it really matter? I mean, he had Jillian- well had.

Turns out that in the middle of the way she decided to stay.

"Go with him to the hospital. I need to get something… Ill meet you there" She said before getting off the ambulance and running back to the hotel.

Maria sighed for what seemed to be the 100th time today. Why was she even thinking about this? She should be focused on something else… not this, this was just simply stupid girlish obstacles.

Great Maria, your probably not even making sense! She thought before once again focusing her eyes on him.

Goodness… could a human looks so beautiful? He was honestly taking her breath away. Without thinking Maria reached out for him. She touched his cheek slowly rubbing it before she decided to trace his jaw. And then her hand moved to his lip. It was cold… and hot at the same time.

Weird. But Maria ignored it. She simply closed her eyes and whispered "Everything will be okay. I'm here. Don't worry, Cody"

They were starving. Matt knew it, no matter how they didn't complain or even mention it. He knew it. They were all starving and it was hurting them. Why? Because most of them had lost blood- a lot of blood.

They are not planning on feeding us. He thought ignoring the fact that he didn't even know who 'they' were. All Matt knew right now was that they were all weak and they needed strength before they died.

Yes. Died. It would come to that, he didn't have to be a doctor to know so.

Matt shook his head before focusing his eyes on a little window -the only window- that was placed really high above. There was still light.

"So the cars… they were there?" Chris spoke softly. Matt wasn't too sure if it was because he was tired, shocked or simply suffering from all those burns he received from the fire.

"Yes" Eve simply answered before yawning. "What are we going to do?"

The question didn't really catch him off guard. It just made him feel… like shit. "I don't know" he answered truthfully. "We need to think" he stated the obvious.

"No. We need to get the fuck out"

"Actually, you need to tell us your story" Eve said while she rubbed her eyes. "we thought… we thought you died in the fire- how did you get here?"

She saw Chris hesitate for a second… maybe he didn't really know how he got there.

But it didn't matter, before Chris could start his story, Matt had fallen asleep. He simply collapsed.

Jeff…

He called out softly in his mind. Matt didn't know why, but he had a feeling Jeff could help him. Even crazier- he had a feeling Jeff had just heard his call.

The store was definitely not what he expected.

But then again… what was he expecting? A gothic store covered with pictures and posters of Satan? No. The store was called 'Town Hilldown Souvenir Store'. So he was obviously expecting a souvenir store. And that exactly what he was seeing.

A simple souvenir store not worthy of his time, so that's why he was going to leave-

-but he couldn't. Something was still controlling him, making him want to stay here. Don't be insane, just get out. He told himself but his feet weren't still moving. Damn it Jeff, just leave! There is nothing here!

But there was. And it wasn't until he focused his eyes on the cash machine that he noticed it. The symbols written on the cash machine… they were so familiar. He walked a little closer to the cash machine. He was so focused on it he almost bumped into a costumer.

There were only four people in this store. The woman he almost bumped into, the man who was looking at those boring cards, the girl that seemed to work here, who was currently fixing some shirts and of course, him.

That didn't matter though, write now his mind was completely focused on the symbols. He noticed that the looked like numbers and some graffiti crap a kid probably decided to do. But he knew it wasn't- at least that's not how he wanted to see them. He saw the symbol as freaky words screwed up around creating some scary shit ass piece of crap.

And then it hit him. Symbols. Scary. Shit. Jeff blinked, not once, but numerous times. He had to be imagining this… there is no way he was seeing this.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. He cursed before taking a step back. Something was wrong here, something about those symbols -that were very identical to the ones in the cabin- scared the shit out of him. He had to tell the others. But what?

It didn't matter, right now all the was in Jeff's mind was that simple 3 letter word. Run. So he did just that, he ran, took off and before he knew it he had left the store and was making his way further away from the hotel.

Where was he going? He actually had an answer for that question. And surprisingly it wasn't his mind telling him this time, it was his heart. It kept saying; Matt.

Okay! Thats it. Sorry if some parts really didnt make sense.. or if I had any spelling mistakes. I really wanted to put this up! Enjoy! And once again sorry for the delay!

Please review, even if its only to tell me I suck for taking so long!

Thanks for reading!
