Chapter 13: Evil's My Friend

This chapter is also named from a song, but this time it's from Rancid. Do you have have obsessions? I do. Mine is My Chemical Romance. Like I can't stop listening to them! Like right now I'm listening to Na Na Na [Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na]. Why did they have to break up!?

IB'S POV

I woke up from fainting for like the 5th time, but his time it's different. I look around and this place looked familiar...

"Hey, you OK?" Garry said. That's not true. Garry isn't alive

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Here I think you need this more than me" He handed me a lemon candy. Then I look down. His coat is covering me once again like last time and I have a lemon candy. Then it hit me.

"Where's Emmy?!" I was worried she wasn't here. I was gonna get her out of here. I promised her.

"S-she was taking you to safety, and she, I don't know what happened to her, she was gone and you were still on the floor." That's it. You can mess with me. You can torture me. But you don't mess with Emmy.

"I'm going to find whatever took Emmy and burn it to the ground. Make sure they know how it feels like to mess with me."

"Ib. Calm down." I start sobbing uncontrollably onto Garry's shoulder

"You're here" I whispered.

"I'm here" He said back

"I thought you died. I was there." I sobbed once more onto Garry's shirt

"Ib?"

"Y-yes?"

"How did I die? Emmy told me I gave my rose to protect you, but what does that have to do with my death?"

"The roses are like our life source here. If we lose all our petals, we die"

"How did you know that?"

"We start getting weaker when we lose a petal. I just thought that if we lose all our petals we die."

"Oh." We sat there in silence for a few minutes.

"We need to go." I broke the silence

"Where?"

"We need to find Emmy. I promised her we would get out of here"

"What- nevermind."

"What were you going to say?!" I snapped

"Nothing. Nothing."

"Tell me now." I had this look in my eyes that made Garry very uncomfortable

"I was just going to say, what if Emmy was gone, like you know" Garry's voice faded at the end turning into a mumble.

"I would never forgive myself. I can't go to her fiancee and see her erased from his memory. It's too painful. I would even forget her. I don't want to lose her memory."

"How would you forget?"

"I forgot you when I escaped, but then I had your lemon candy, and I saw it while looking at your portrait. That's how I remembered." I was fighting back tears. I don't want to think of Emmy dead. Garry noticed that.

"Let's go find Emmy." He held out his hand to me and I accepted it. When our hands touched, I felt this tingling spark going through my hand when I held his hand. I blushed at this, but I shrugged it off, I didn't want Garry to see me blushing.

We left the room to be attacked by those headless mannequins

UNKNOWN POV~

I just landed in Florida for Emmy's wedding. Doug sent Emmy away with Ib so I can surprise her when they get to the hotel.

After waiting for half an hour, I see the red hair famously known as Doug.

"Doug!"

He turns around and comes over to me.

"Anna! It's so great to see you again!" He gave me a hug and I returned it.

"OK. So I'm going to drop you off at my room, you just wait there, and I'll go get Emmy."

"Sounds like a plan!"

"Great! I can't wait to see the face of Emmy when she sees you!"

"I'm so excited!"

Doug leads me to his car and puts in my luggage. We drive off to the hotel and the receptionist gives us a suspicious look. No. She can't possibly think that Doug is going to cheat on Emmy! I would never do that to Emmy! Let alone Doug! That's messed up. Doug slides his key card and lets me in.

"OK. I'll get Emmy really quick."

"Bye!" I plug in my charger in the outlet and charge my phone. I hear a knock on the door. I grab my phone and shove it in my pocket to open the door. I see this girl that looks my age.

"Is Ib in there? She said her room number is here."

"No. She went somewhere with one of my friends. She will be back shortly. Why don't you come inside and wait for her." She comes in.

"So what's your name?" She said

"I'm Anna. I'm a friend of Ib's too."

"I'm Annabelle."

"That's a nice, uh, what's that?"

"A blindfold."

"Uh-" She was blindfolding me, I tried to scream, but she was covering my nose and mouth so I can pass out. And I did.

I woke up in this weird dark place. I look around and I see Emmy next to me.

"EMMY!" My voice was hoarse.

"Shut up before I slit your throat." I was tied up and then, I felt cool metal against my throat. I didn't dare move anymore, I don't want to cut some of my neck yet. I might not die. Emmy opens her eyes and looks at me.

"Ann-"

"SHUT UP!"

Headless mannequins came out with Ib and a purple haired person. Ib. Why is she here?! Where's Doug?! Ib looks up and sees us both, her eyes widened.

"Hello Ib. Hello Garry. I didn't think you would betray me, but of course, you would always choose Ib over me. So I had to capture you too. I didn't want to hurt you Garry, but this pile of dirt DESERVES TO DIE! Anyways, Ib. The girl who burnt me. I actually have a burn mark because of you. But did you know, it really hurt. Did you even think about that? You heartless pierce of-"

"MARY!" She stopped.

"Speak again Garry, I will kill you. No matter what I feel. I can never be with you. You never loved me." Garry kept quiet after that.

"I give you a choice Ib. These are both your best friends, correct? So. Since you tore apart my dreams of seeing the real world, I will take away the light of the real world from them. One of them will die here. Which one will it be Ib?"

IB'S POV~

"Which one will it be Ib?" That question rang through my head. I don't want either of them to die.

"Please. Just let them go. Take me! Just let them go!" I struggled to get out of the grip from the rope, but every move I make burns my wrists. I looked at Garry and I saw the mannequins covered his mouth with a blindfold.

"That is a very tempting offer, but, I want to torture you. Mentally and physically. And if you don't make your decision in 30 seconds, I will kill them both." Thoughts were racing throughout my mind. Who am I going to keep alive? I can't let both of them die here.

"20 seconds!" Emmy was crying and Anna looked like in a state of shock. Then, I saw it. How could I not have seen it?

Emmy was pregnant.

"10!"

"9."

"8."

"7"

"6"

"5"

"OK! OK! OK! I've made my decision." I don't want to do this. I don't want her to die.

"Who will it be Ib?"

DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUN! Who's gonna die? OK. I'm serious right now. Why do I keep leaving cliffhangers?! Oh and by the way, when I was typing cliffhangers, I accidentally typed hangovers for some reason... And I'm listening to I'm Not Okay (I Promise) right now. BECAUSE WHY NOT LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE TYPING A CHAPTER?!

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
