Chapter 21: The Many Deaths of a Friend
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Would you two hurry up already? I can't believe that you're this slow when it comes to running…" Kristen complained. Matt and Dalton caught up to her quickly before they both gave her a death glare which she promptly ignored.
"You think you're so smart because you figured out the key thing don't you?" Dalton growled as Matt looked around checking for water. They had finally made it to second class and were on dry land…for the moment.
"You betcha!" Kristen said happily at them with a smirk. They gave her another glare before following her to the left of the hallway. Hopefully they wouldn't find anymore gates blocking their way. They had traveled for about thirty more seconds before they heard gunshots in the first class dining room which was right up a staircase next to them.
"CRAP!" came Richy's voice after them. They were about to go up when Rose and Jack came running down and hiding right above them.
"Uhhh… What are you two doing?" Dalton asked quietly causing them to jump up in surprise. They turned around as if ready to fight until they saw the three teenagers standing there, soaking wet.
"Lovejoy's up there." Rose said motioning upstairs. "He was hunting us when he saw your four friends up there. We managed to get out but I don't know about the rest of them." She said solemnly. Kristen nodded softly while Dalton and Matt looked at each other. They were about to say something when they heard screaming coming from the hallway below them. They all ran down and saw a small boy standing there in the oncoming water.
"We can't leave him." Kristen and Rose said together. The male members of the group looked up the stairs with the water flowing down them before Jack looked back down.
"Ok let's go!" he yelled and they all took off toward the boy.
'Why do I remember something bad happening here?' Kristen asked herself as Jack picked up the boy. They went to go through two double doors only to see that they were about to explode with water. The group turned to go the other way only to see water flooding from in there as well. Everyone turned to go back when a man shouting a language none of them knew grabbed the boy, pushed Jack, and then went running toward the double doors.
"Sir come back! You're going the wrong way sir!" everyone except Kristen yelled. The thin girl's eyes grew wide with fear.
'Oh that's right….' She trailed off in her thoughts before shouting down to everyone else. "Don't go down there it's to dangerous!" The two boys stopped and looked at her while the two doors broke and water came raging out. 'Aww…crap!' Kristen thought as she turned and ran for her life. She heard Jack yell run and watched as the water at her feet grew. The next thing she knew was that she was once again under water.
"THIS IS NOT FAIR!" Matt yelled to no one in particular. He had seen Kristen go down ahead of them and knew that they were at the waters mercy now.
"TELL ME ABOUT IT!" Dalton responded before his head went under the waves. He came back up only to be hit in the front by a gate and in the back by Kristen. "Ow…" he mumbled quietly. He watched as everyone behind him (including Jack and Rose) pushed off and began pulling toward a staircase. He immediately followed suit.
"Come on…" Kristen whined as they reached the stairs only to be met with another gate. All the males tried to kick it but it wouldn't work on this one. They were about to turn back when they felt cold water hit their ankles.
"Not good…" Matt said as they all started screaming for help. Everyone had nearly given up hope until a steward came running down in front of them.
"Please help us!" Rose exclaimed as the water rose up to their knees. He looked like he was about to leave when he took a second look at Kristen a Rose.
"Jesus…" he mumbled as he took out his keys and started fumbling with them. He tried one and when it didn't work he began to look again only to drop the keys. After an apology he left them down there.
"If I see him again he's dead." Dalton growled as Jack dove under to retrieve the life saving keys. He emerged triumphant and he and Rose started trying to decide which one it was. The teenagers stood there trying to keep their heads above water as the picked one and Jack tried it in the door. After a hard struggle it finally opened and they all spilled out.
"Let's go!" Matt called out as they all took off running up the stairs.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Come on do we have to go looking for Rose and Jack?" Ryan complained as he, Chelsea, Richy, and Travis all waded through the water. The screams they had heard hadn't been that far off so they all knew that the lovebirds were around here somewhere. They finally made it to the dining room only to hear whispering.
"I know you're in here…" came Lovejoy's voice as he walked around the tables. Luckily he hadn't seen the group yet as they jumped behind one of the tables.
"I don't remember this in the movie…." Travis said quietly as he tried to see where the hunter was. Chelsea looked at him.
"That's cause it wasn't though Emma did mention something about this scene in the extended DVD…" she said trying to keep quiet.
"What that's cheap!" Richy said a little too loudly as the table in front of them was thrown away. They all looked up to see Lovejoy standing there with a gun pointed at them.
"Hello…" he said menacingly. They all waved hi back to him in fear. Chelsea looked and saw Rose and Jack running toward a door that Jack just jumped through. The noise caused Lovejoy to turn in that direction for a second, which gave Ryan and Travis time to jump up and knock the gun away. They succeeded in this process but were both thrown back off of Lovejoy.
"Crap!" Richy yelled as they got back up. Chelsea stood in the corner and watched as Richy joined the other two. It was now a face off between them and their hunter.
"You don't want to be doing that. I used to be a cop." He said before charging them. Travis smirked as did Ryan as they sidestepped which caused Lovejoy to pass them by. He turned to them.
"Funny I was about to say you don't want to mess with us cause we're top notch high school football players." Ryan said as they did a tag team tackle on him. He fell to the ground but started to get up until he heard dishes rattling.
"And I want to tell you that I'm one of the best skateboarders at my school.' Richy said as he came sliding down one of the tables on a tray. He jumped off right in time and watched as the silver metal collided with Lovejoy's skull. He fell back on his but as he rubbed his head, but a new wound was opened as Chelsea smashed a plate over him.
"Let me tell you Lovejoy, I've seen a lot of things scarier than you!" she screamed as she hit him again. That was it as he fell to the ground, unconscious. They all smiled before Travis looked at Chelsea.
"How could you have seen stuff scarier than him pointing a gun at you?" he asked her as his hand motioned to the unconscious bodyguard on the floor. Chelsea's eye began to twitch involuntary.
"Have you guys ever seen the video game Siren? Let me tell you….NOT FUN TO SEE! The only person that I know of that can stand it is Emma and we all know how demented she is." Chelsea said shivering from either the cold, or the memory of the game. The guys simply shrugged before they took off up to the Grand Staircase with her, passing a lot of men on their way. They opened the door to the deck only to see that there were no lifeboats in their sightlines. The fireworks going off blocked the language coming from all of them.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Ashley I no you're worried and everything but THIS IS NO TIME TO STOP AT THE BAR!" Courtney yelled at her friend who was talking to Susan. The boys had grabbed a last glass of whiskey and were watching these two go at it. Ashley turned to her.
"Fine Courtney I'll hurry but only if you try this cookie!" Ashley said holding another one of Susan's cookies in front of Courtney's face. The blonde girl sighed before grabbing it from her hand.
"This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard A- OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST COOKIE EVER!" she exclaimed as she took a bite. The sudden outburst had caused TJ and John to drop their drinks which was now making them very angry. Without thinking TJ grabbed Ashley and John grabbed Courtney. The two left the bar dragging the two protesting girls behind them. They didn't stop until they were out on deck.
"You two are IDIOTIC you know that! We're on a sinking ship, struggling for our lives, and you to want to stay for A COOKIE!" TJ yelled at the two girls who pouted. John sighed before grabbing the cookie away from them, which caused more protest.
"You two are not getting this cookie back unless you promise to stay focused on living, not baked goods." He said holding it above Ashley and Courtney's heads. They gave him even cuter pouts than they had given TJ and truth been told, John felt his eye twitch. But he kept his head and wouldn't give it to them. They gave up.
"Fine…" Courtney sighed holding her hands up in defeat. John turned to Ashley.
"Ok…now give me my cookie." She said as John tossed it over to her. Courtney looked shocked before she turned to him with a very angry glare.
"YOU GAVE HER THE WHOLE COOKIE?" she yelled as John now felt like cowering. TJ stopped her hand in mid-air from smacking his poor friend. The blonde girl faced him but he gave her a look that simply said shut up. Since she hadn't had her sugar, she listened reluctantly.
"Ok, now that we have that all cleared up, is there anything in your rooms that you would like to get?" he asked calmly. They all shook their heads except for Courtney who had something click.
"Oh yeah I need to get my diary so that everyone can see what a genius I am!" she said happily well everyone else nearly fell over.
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" John asked but a smack across his face told him that she was. That settled it as they went back inside toward her room.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(sorry that was so short but I'm out of ideas for them in this chapter)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I can't believe you kissed him…" Emma said grumpily. Bri looked up with a smirk on her face.
"Oh I'm sorry I lived your dream Emma." She said and dodged Emma's fist. Zack was climbing the stairs behind them until they reached the door leading to the A-Class Promenade.
"You still didn't have to do that…" Emma said unable to come up with a better comeback. Bri looked behind them to make sure Zack was out of earshot. Confirming it with herself she turned back to her friend.
"Well it's not like I wanted to, but it seemed that you two were choosing death instead of life I didn't really have another choice." She said trying to show Emma that she didn't like Zack. No the guy she had liked had died as soon as the iceberg had hit the ship. Emma nodded finally accepting.
"You two do realize that I could hear your entire conversation right?" Zack asked causing the other two to freeze. He just walked pass them and opened the door to the main deck. Luckily there was a life boat right there.
"Only woman and children allowed!" an officer said holding out his hand in order to stop Zack. Bri took her hand and pulled the guy's arm down.
"Sir my brother is the only family I have, please let him board." She said softly but watched as the officer's eyebrows shot up. Emma and Zack were both getting bad feelings about this.
"You're Miss Brianna Hunter right?" he asked her as her face remained as convincing as it could.
"Yes…" she said not sure where this was going.
"Then I know that you have family over in America so you can not bring your boyfriend on this lifeboat!" he said sternly. Bri's eyes grew wide.
"He's not my BOYFRIEND!" she yelled trying to push the officer out of the way. That was a BIG mistake. The officer took that as a attempt to hurt him and shot Bri in the chest. Her eyes grew wide so that they matched Zack's and Emma's.
"Oww…" she muttered before falling overboard. The other two ran over to see where she was and saw her floating in the water. They thought she was dead until she looked up at them.
"Uhhh…guys?" she called out as Zack and Emma stood there and watched a wire come down and electrocute the water. Bri's body sank below the water.
"Bri…" Emma sighed softly and was about to leave until Zack stopped her.
"Wait Emma look, she's swimming." He said pointing toward Bri making motions as if she was trying to swim above water again. Unfortunately she suddenly stopped and floated back down. "And now she's not…" he sighed defeated. They kept watching as small ice crystals formed on the girl's body.
"What the…?" Emma asked as they saw a beam come falling down on Bri's head.
"Ouch." Zack grimaced as the two finished the show as sharks came swimming by and ate Bri's body.
"Oh come on this is getting ridiculous! I mean sharks can't even survive in these temperatures!" Emma exclaimed as they looked at the now empty water. Zack looked at his only companion now.
"Should we pronounce it or something?" he asked Emma who turned and looked at him with her eye twitching.
"Pronounce it? What are we going to pronounce, that she died by bullet, electrocution, drowning, freezing, a beam falling on her head, AND THEN SHARKS COMING BY TO EAT HER?" Emma screeched but Zack simply shrugged.
"Let's just blame it on the authoress…" he said (ME: HEY!) The two stood in silence before he looked at her. "We can just say it's undecided." He said with a somewhat genuine smile. Emma sighed in defeat and nodded at that.
"I guess we'll tell everyone else the same thing?" she said to Zack and the two started walking down the deck again.
"If we ever see them again I guess we can do that." He said as Emma let out a defeated sigh.
"Why'd she have to die and leave me with you?" she complained.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Ugh…" Bri moaned as she stretched her arms out. The last thing she could remember happening was trying to get Zack on the lifeboat and now she as sitting on the floor. 'I guess the guy must have hit me pretty hard.' She opened her eyes and nearly shrieked at what she saw.
She was sitting in the middle of a hallway with all the school lying around her. This was where she had passed out before this whole thing had happened. She looked around and saw that Emma's body was lying next to Travis's and Ashley's and Chelsea's were in front of them. The gothic girl stood up and saw about seventy five bodies around her.
'So when we die we just come back here?' she asked herself in her mind. Without thinking she turned her head up to the sky.
"YOU COULDN'T HAVE TOLD ME THIS IN THE BEGINNING!" she screamed to the ceiling above her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HAH THERE I HAVE UPDATED WITH AN EXTREMELY LONG CHAPTER! At least longer than the rest of them in the story. So now I've revealed the secret about dying. In the next chapter two more people leave the group on the Titanic. Oh and the Bri's death thing I would like to thank the girl I based Bri off of for all those ideas. Now tell me what you think as you REVIEW!
Arigatou.
