Chapter 14

Tracy pulled off her jacket and continued to make her way towards Jack. But the water was almost up to her neck and Jack had stopped shouting out.

"Jack! Come on answer!" She yelled kicking open the first door.

No one was inside so she moved to the next room and chopped at the door with her axe. But suddenly someone grabbed her shoulders and pushed her under the water. Concentrating on what she had to do, Tracy kicked Leroy in the stomach and then swung the axe blindly. He loosened up and she broke the surface.

The water was tinted with a red color and Leroy was nowhere to be seen.

"I killed him." She whispered.

"Help…" Came a faint cry from the door she was near.

"Hang on Jack!" Tracy replied and swung at the shut door with her axe.

The water was just barely over her head so she grabbed the pipe on the ceiling and drove the axe a second time into the door. There was a sound of shattering wood and Tracy swam in through the doorway.

The window was slightly shattered and Jack was standing on the horizontal pipe across the room, water going over his head. Tracy grabbed the cuffs on his hand and smashed them with the axe.

She took his arm and pulled him up to the surface so he could catch his breath.

"Are you ok?" She asked, her teeth chattering from the freezing water.

He nodded and took her other hand.

"Come on we need to get to the boats."

Tracy dropped the axe and the two of them swam back out through the doorway.

"Do you think Lain and Charlie are all right?" Tracy asked pulling herself through the doorway.

"I hope so." He answered.

They reached the staircase and began to climb up. Suddenly something grabbed Tracy's foot.

"Jack!" She screamed as she was dragged back below the surface.

Lain picked herself up from the newly carpeted floor and took the gun lying on the floor and ran back to Charlie.

She burst through the door and saw Charlie was standing on top of a chair to keep from having to stand in the water. He had a panic stricken emotion on his face, "Thank God you're all right."

Lain held up the gun silently and had a blank expression on her face, Charlie looked concerned, "What's the matter?"

"Spread your hands," Lain commanded quietly. Charlie obeyed. Lain took careful aim and pulled the trigger. There was a familiar odd bang and a clang of metal. Charlie smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

"Lain, I thought I'd die down here. I…I can't swim" He told her.

"It's not far to go, and we'll be outa here quickly. You don't need to be constantly swimming to stay afloat." Lain briefed Charlie and tried to calm his fears. The water was almost to the top of the door now and they would have to swim under to get out.

Lain went first and dived under and resurfaced in the hallway. Charlie nervously did the same. They slowly made their way through the halls and struggled up the steps to where the water was only waist high.

The light eerily reflected off of the water slightly illuminating a dark object up ahead. As they drew near it, Lain realized with dread that it was the man she had killed. Fear jolted through her as she looked at his lifeless eyes. Blood darkly saturated his chest. He was coming back for her! Coming to kill her for what she had done.

Charlie saw Lain staring horrified at the floating body and reached out to grab her shoulders. She flung back, startled and backed up.

"Lain? What's wrong?" He asked confused, was she frightened from the body?

Lain felt alarmed and could see the guard moving toward her. "Lain," She heard the guard speaking to her, "What's wrong?" He asked in a sinister voice."

"Get away from me!" She yelled. Lain ran down the hall frightened. She heard footsteps and splashing following. She struggled, trying to flee and felt hands grab her.

"No! No!" She screamed in fear, "Get away!"

Charlie was surprised at how much of a panic she was in. Lain punched him in the mouth to try and get away.

"Lain! Lain! It's okay, it's me Charlie!" Charlie tried to keep Lain from running. He held her closely to and tried to calm her down, "It's me, Charlie." He said softly and looked into her green eyes.

Lain seemed to realize who it was and started sobbing, "I killed him." She cried and tightly held onto Charlie, "He's dead because of me!"

Charlie held her passionately and rubbed her back, "It's gonna be alright Lain."

"No, I killed an innocent man…..to get the gun. It just went off." She spoke,

remembering the horrible incident.

Charlie looked her in the eyes, "Lain, sometimes accidents happen. It's not your fault. People die. Sometimes it's best not to look back. Just go forward."

He guided her up through the floors, holding her hand.

The water was even more frigid at the bottom of the water on the wooden floor and nearly took her breath away. Leroy had blood spewing out of a cut in his upper arm. Apparently if he was going down he was taking her down with him.

Tracy found it hard to fight back even though he was the injured one. She kicked her foot in a vain attempt to break free but he held on to her tightly.

Suddenly Jack was pulling Leroy off of her and the two of them were thrashing around wildly trying to pin the other one. Tracy pushed off the floor and swam up to the surface, allowing oxygen to flow inside of her.

The blood loss seemed to be too immense and Leroy was trying to fight it. He picked up the axe that Tracy had dropped and got ready to swing it at Jack's head.

"Jack!" Tracy screamed and jumped onto Leroy's back dragging them both back down.

Leroy slumped over under the water and didn't move. Jack stuck out his hand and pulled Tracy up the staircase. Both of them sat there moment, panting and catching their breath. Tracy stood up and took Jack's hand.

"Let's go."

A/N: So Leroy is like that spider that you try to kill over and over, but just doesn't die. And Lain's finally cracked, it's cool when people go crazy. I guess only a crazy person would say that.
