This chapter feels really long to me. It took forever to write, but I think I've done it. I've written a chapter that's actually good. Someone call my mom!

Check out modeluchosen1's page! He has a one shot backstory for Equinox!

Megan POV

"So, Taylor, who do you think that clone is?" I asked as we sipped coffee. I still wasn't completely sure we had chosen the right person. Plus, the other person had Taylor's dress somehow. I felt like my life was getting weirder and weirder each day.

"I don't know! I mean, I get that people want to be perfect like me, but how?" I shot Adam a glance. Taylor wasn't that self-obsessed. I decided to play along.

"I know. I would love to be you. If I knew how, I would totally pretend to. You're just so perfect." I sighed.

Adam's cell phone rang. "It's Jerome, I gotta take this." He ran outside.

"Let's go see Adam," I suggested. We threw away our cups and walked out too.

"What's the report?" I asked.

"She woke up, but then proceeded to run away screaming about Mitch, Annette, and Josh." Adam informed me.

"I hope Carmen's okay." Taylor said. I took a risk and pinned her to the wall.

"The real Taylor calls her Carmella. Now who are you and why are you dressed as Taylor?"

She growled. "See for yourself." I watched as the figure slowly morphed into Equinox.

"I feel like that wasn't all that surprising." said Adam. "I mean, we already knew you were helping Josh. And your last name is an anagram for demon."

I stared at him in shock. "Why didn't you tell me this?"

He shrugged. "Didn't seem relevant."

I rolled my eyes. "I wonder about you sometimes." I turned back to Equinox. "What are you planning on doing to Mitch?"

She smiled. "Mitch is all taken care of. I came back to get rid of you two, but now you'll have to catch me!" She disappeared from my grasp.

I groaned. "Now what?"

Adam held out his phone. "We call Blaze?"

I smiled. "I love you when you're smart." He called him and Blaze answered.

"Hello?"

"Blaze, we need to know where Josh is."

"Oh, let me just move to a place where I can get better cell service." I looked at Adam, who was just as confused as I was.
Eventually, the voice came back on. "Sorry, he was right next to me. So listen, Mitch and Annette are now Josh's prisoners. You need to find a house near a lake. That's where we are. I have to go before Josh finds me. I'll try everything I can to stop him. Don't call back though." He hung up.

Adam put is phone away. "That helped."

"Lakes near here... There's only one and it's abandoned."

"Wouldn't that make the perfect hideout?"

I smiled. "Yes! Let's go there!" I kissed him quickly and we ran to the car.

Carmen POV

Nothing else of use was in the house. I went outside feeling very defeated. I looked down at my feet and walked very slowly. I had no hope left. How would I figure this out?

I wasn't paying attention and I tripped, falling face-first into mud. I angrily got up, now having ruined my dress. I guess I had to buy it now. Suddenly, I got an idea. If there was mud, it must have just rained. Wouldn't there be tire tracks then? I ran around the building until I spotted them. They seemed to go on forever. I started walking, ready to follow them to their location.

After about ten miles they ended. I stomped my feet in frustration. What could I do now? I sighed as a car passed me. Another one passed a minute later. For some reason, that one went into reverse towards me. Cautiously, I backed up, ready to put up a fight.

"Carmella?" Called a female voice.
I looked up.

"Taylor? What are you doing here?" I asked. She was in the passenger seat of the car with two other figures.

"There's some clone of me running around. She's with Adam and Megan, who are just up ahead."

"Why are you chasing them?" I asked as I settled into me seat in the back. The two other figures were Jerome and Jason.

"We don't know who it is, but they might be dangerous. We can't call them and ask because there's no service here." Jerome said. The car lurched forward as we chased after them.

"I really need to get back to walking," I said after five minutes.

"What were you doing anyways?" asked Jason.

I sighed. "Josh got mad at me, knocked me into a coma, Annette and Mitch saw and tried to hurt Josh, and now he's got them trapped somewhere. I was following the tire tracks until they ended."

"What have we missed?" asked Jerome. I summed up the last four months for him.

"And I thought a clone of me was bad." Taylor said.

"What?" I asked. She explained her problem. "Could this be related to Josh?"

"Maybe," said Jason. "Besides, we're going the only way this road goes. You'll probably find your place soon enough."

I watched the car in front of us turn. "What are they doing?"

"Follow them!" said Jerome. We turned too. As soon as the car stopped we all ran over to them.

"Megan! Adam! That clone is a fake!" yelled Jason.

"We know," said Adam. They told us about the coffee shop.

"Equinox is evil?" Asked Jerome. "I didn't really like her, but-"

"Can we stop explaining things and focus!" I yelled. Everyone turned to me. "Now, we need to find this lake. How close are we?"

"It's just around the corner. We need to sneak up and ambush them." Megan said.

"No, I need to ambush them." I corrected. "I'm not letting anyone else get hurt. This is my job and mine only." They all started protesting. "I've made me decision." I angrily stalked off to finish my job.

Jerome POV

"We aren't letting her just leave, are we?" Taylor asked.

"Absolutely not." I replied. "Now, here's the plan..."

Mitch POV

"That would work, if we had a knife to cut our bonds." Said Annette. Every one of my plans had a flaw.

"This is hopeless." I sighed. "We have nothing to work with."

"I take back what I said, we can't do this." She said in defeat. We were silent for a while.

"Need some help?" said a voice. I turned to see Josh's helper, Blaze.

"Are you going to taunt us too?" I asked in a rude tone.

"No! I would never!" He replied. "I'm here to break you out."

"Yeah, right." Annette said. "You're evil, so why would you try to break us out?"

"Look, I'm not evil. I signed up for a potions making class with Josh. He told me he'd teach me, but now I'm stuck in all this. Look, I brought a peace offering." He held out Betty.

My eyes widened. "Annette, I can't resist."

"For crying out loud, it's just an axe!" She told me. "Get over it!"

"Deal." I said. "Now how do we do this?"

Annette rolled her eyes."Someday, Mitch, you're going to get us killed." I smiled as we broke free of our bonds.

"Now, where are we going?" I asked.

"Follow me," Blaze said. We walked down a bunch of different hallways with so many twists and turns it made me sick. How did he navigate these things? Eventually, we came to a stop. "Now," Blaze whispered. "We have to be really quiet."

Figures appeared out of nowhere.
Both groups jumped. "Megan?" I asked the familiar face. "How'd you get here?"

"We came to save you!" She said a bit louder than I would have liked. We all shushed her. "Sorry. We broke in through the wall and found you. Now, follow us and-"

"What do we have here?" A deep voice said. I froze, then slowly turned around. Josh towered over us. "Trying to escape? Oh, and some new people. Equinox warned me about you. Equinox!" He called. She appeared right in front of him. "Get these people back to the cell."

She nodded and went to the back of our cluster. "Start moving or I'll kill you one by one!" I nearly ran back to the cell.

Carmen POV

I finally reached the lake. I saw one lone cabin and figured it was the hideout. I hesitantly walked over to the window and peered inside. I saw Mitch, Annette, Blaze, and the rest of my friends. What were they doing here? I really needed to get people to listen to me.

I tried to get in the door, but it was locked. I looked over and saw a passcode lock. What would josh make the code? I tried 1111 and 1234. Neither worked. I tried Josh's birthday. I punched in random numbers. Nothing worked.

An idea came to mind. I really hoped it didn't work, but I had to try. I punched in the numbers 3694. The door opened and I sighed. Why did he have to use my birthday as the code? It almost made me feel guilty for breaking in and going to kill him. Almost.

It seemed too easy. Walk in, somehow let the others escape, possibly save myself. I hadn't exactly worked out the last part, but I knew how to let the others escape. But where were they? I saw a long hallway with many twists and turns. How would I know which way to go?

"Let fate decide," said a voice in my mind.

"Thanks, Scarlett, you're always so helpful." I replied.

"Hey, you're not even supposed to be able to hear me. That coma did something to your head."

I ignored the second part, but decided her advice was the best chance I had. I took a left, than a right, and a few more turns until I saw it. I felt bad that they had to see this, but I quickly grabbed a few items and walked in.

Mitch POV

I hated being back in this cell. We had no way to escape now, especially with Josh watching us 24/7. I sighed to myself and closed my eyes, hoping of wake up and be at my house. I heard the doors open, but I ignored it.

"Josh," said a female voice. I bolted upright. What was she doing here?

"What are you doing here?" He growled.

"How could I stay away? You're so sweet and handsome!" She gracefully walked over to him and leaned in close. "Be mine forever, Josh. I'm old enough now." She whispered.

My jaw dropped. What was she doing? Was she still drugged? He would either pound her to a pulp or... I shuddered.

I saw his eyes gleam with excitement. "I've waited five years for this,"

"Wait no longer baby. You'll always be mine." She pulled him in for a kiss. I looked around at the others. They all seemed very surprised, with Jerome and Annette looking more disgusted. Probably because they knew what she meant by I'm old enough.

They were still kissing. I saw Carmen reach for the set of keys in his pocket. Then she pulled some strange item out. I looked closer and saw it was a hammer. What was she doing? I saw her slowly bring it up towards his head. In a flash she smacked him in the head with all her strength. He immediately broke away and looked at her.

"That was supposed to knock you out." she said sheepishly. "Annette!" She threw a bag towards us and sprinted off, Josh right behind her.

"My purse!" Annette exclaimed. She quickly opened it. "She threw the keys in here. She's a genius!"

We unlocked the door and ran out screaming.

Carmen POV

That didn't go so well. Adrenaline flowed through my veins as I ran with all my might. I was hoping I'd lose him in the maze of hallways. I went in all different directions, but he was still behind me. I knew I couldn't keep this up for long, so I ran into a room. I slammed the door and locked it. I could hear him pounding on the door as I searched the room for a weapon. The door was really close to breaking, so I grabbed a plank of wood and braced myself.

Josh barged in and I hit him with the wood. I dropped it while he was stunned and ran out of the room. I kept on turning corners until I found a dead end. I turned around and he was right in front of me. I tried to run but I fell backwards onto the wall. He towered above me and grinned.

"This is how it ends, huh? It's too bad what you said back there wasn't true, because I really do love you," I put my arms in front of my face as he pulled out the knife. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the sun shining on the cliff. It would be a nice last sight. I knew I was ready to die, as long as my friends were safe. "Goodbye, Carmella Paige."

"No!" I heard a voice scream. I looked up and saw Mitch tackle Josh. Glass flew everywhere as they went through the window and over the cliff to certain death.

An actual cliffhanger! Get it? Cliff?
