Ashley slowly opened her eyes. The light streaming in through the windows blinded her for a moment, but her eyes adapted quickly and she looked around. For a moment, she forgot what had happened, until her neck ignited with pain. Bringing a hand up quickly, she felt around the sensitive area and winced as her fingers lightly brushed it. A sudden voice startled her.
"How're you feeling?" Jill asked quietly, trying her best not to scare her. Nonetheless, Ashley jumped and turned towards her quickly. Jill could see Ashley's obvious tenseness.
"I'd rather be dead." Ashley replied coldly. Jill looked down for a few seconds, and then back up. "I never wanted to do this to you." Jill said, shaking her head to the side a bit. Ashley was surprised, and confused. Was this just another trick to get her to kill for her again? Or was she actually sorry? Ashley slowly sat up in the bed, wincing in pain when her back exploded. She had hit the floor extremely hard last night.
Jill stood up and helped Ashley stand. Wrapping an arm around her waist, Jill slowly supported her and she stood, and then released her hold once the fifteen year old was up. "Thanks." Ashley muttered.
The two girls slowly walked down the stairs together. Some time last night, Jill had untied the rope from the fan, and put the chair back in the kitchen. Ashley stepped in front of Jill and then they both entered the kitchen. Sitting down on the chairs, Jill wondered if Ashley realized that she was sitting on the chair she had used last night.
"I'm not mad at you Jill. I'm scared…..and confused." Ashley said hoarsely, her throat dry and in pain. Ashley continued, even though it hurt, "You nearly killed me, forced me to murder people, then tried to save me, then threatened me again, then saved me when I tried to kill myself for you." She said, her voice cracking and giving out a few times.
"I'm so sorry Ashley. I should never have brought you into this. You should know something though. Last night I got a call. Someone knows about what happened to you, and basically the entire plan. That's all he said before he hung up, and it was Ghostface's voice." Jill said. She sounded pissed and scared at the same time.
"Yesterday, right after you left, someone knocked on my door. When I opened it, someone was out there in the Father Death costume. I, you know, ran up to my room and locked the door. But he left." Ashley admitted, watching Jill's eyes widening in shock.
"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Jill asked, tilting her head. "Well, you seemed ticked off enough, I was kind of afraid of what you'd do if I told you." Ashley said quietly. She stared down the the table, playing with her thumbs nervously.
"Well, I want you to know that you don't have to do this anymore. I'll get rid of Sidney, and whatever bastard called us last night by myself." Jill surprised Ashley.
"What about Kirby?" Ashley questioned, choosing her tone carefully. She still didn't trust Jill completely. "I won't kill her, unless it's absolutely necessary." Jill promised.
"I'll still help you Jill. I just didn't want to see Kirby get killed." Ashley said simply. She had gotten what she wanted, apart from her wanting all of this to have never happened. But since there was no way that would happen, Ashley would take what she could get.
"Really? Are you sure?" Jill said in surprise. Ashley nodded. "I mean, I've already killed two people. I've realized that I am a murderer." Ashley said, her jaw tightening a little bit.
Well, this is a lot shorter than normal. But this is more like a miny chapter, since I might not get to update tomorrow. Thanks for all the reviews everyone! And it would be great if I could get some more tonight!
