Volatile -Phan-

by kittyxuchiha11

Precisely one year ago, a virus wrought havoc across planet earth. Named for the fever that marks the onset of the sickness, Pyrexia transforms its victims into mindless beings trapped somewhere between death and hell. Out of the six that remain; two are sickly, three moderately healthy, living only for the sake of the others, and the last slowly spiralling into insanity.

14. Chapter 14

PJ's POV

I miss him.

It's only been a few hours, at the most.

I've always been one to hide my emotions, but my ability to hold back the tears is getting weaker by the minute.

I don't know who to trust anymore.

I'm unbelievably tired, but I'm too afraid to sleep.

I'm afraid to do many things.

The image of Chris is permanently burned to my thoughts.

He didn't deserve to die like that.

I would do anything to see him again.

But, of course, that can't happen.

Because Phil killed him.

Anger.

The thought of Phil sends rage coursing through me, resulting in me hurling my pillow at the wall. A small, muffled bump sounds from it. I want to be louder, but I can't. I tangle my hands through my hair, clutching at it tightly in attempt to calm myself down. I almost punch the wall, but as my fist speeds toward it, I remember that they're probably sleeping in the room beside mine.

I freeze.

I crumble.

Sadness.

I bend down, my own heartbeat thumping loudly in my ears, and pull the pillow up to link my arms around it. My vision blurs and my throat tightens, but I have to be strong.

For him.

Loneliness.

Fear.

Broken.

Numb.

Dan's POV

I had just managed to fall into a light sleep when I hear a small thump.

Something hit the wall

I freeze

What could it be?

A small sob

It's PJ

Of course, his room is just there after all

I want to go back to sleep but I can't

"you can kill him now"

"no"

I grumble, closing my eyes

"come on, he'll be most venerable now. You should do it"

"no"

A small groan

"Dan? Are you okay?"

Phil's awake

"yes"

"who were you talking to?"

"no one"

"Dan"

Silence

He sighs

He thinks I've got back to sleep

He isn't wrong, I am very tired all of a sudden.

"let's get him Dan"

I get out of bed

Walk towards PJ's room

Open the door

There he is

"Dan?"

Silence

"I'm going to kill you"

"what?"

"I'm making him kill you, you can't stop me"

I say it in a tone I would never normally use

A laugh

Almost insane sounding

Is this me? Or is it that annoying voice?

"Phil, Help!"

He shouts loudly, backing up against the wall

I feel a large smirk cover my face

Phil comes in

"what's wrong?"

PJ looks to me, a confused expression covering his face as I blink innocently at him

"It's nothing"
