Chapter 25: Psychic

"Yo, can someone tell me what the hell is happening? Why are these pictures all over the bathroom? Who are those people on the mirror? And who are half these people in the shower?" Logan was fuming. For all he knew, they were just pranking him.

"Well," Alex said. "The three girls on the mirror are Angelica, my ex-girlfriend and Eliza and Peggy's triplet sister." Alex said.

"The other two girls are mine and Peggy's ex-girlfriend's, Mary and Mariah, respectively." John added.

"Well why are they here like that," questioned Logan.

Eliza spoke up. "They were all killed by the same man. Well that's presuming they got to Maria."

Peggy choked back her sob and ran into the living room. Lafayette was about follow her.

Hercules jumped in. "Laf, have you talked to Adrienne recently?"

"Oui, she's doing fine. She was with her sister back in Paris when I texted her this morning. I'm

"HELLO? Why is this happening?!" Logan yelled.

"Hercules, go call Thomas, James, Aaron , and Theodosia and tell them to come over here. Logan, come with me." Eliza pulled him into her and Hercules' room.

"Eliza, what is going on?"

"Well, we aren't the most liked people in NYC. We've made a LOT of enemies. To start, John, Alex, Peggy, Angelica, and Maria went up against a man named James Reynolds. He was Maria's ex boyfriend that kept harassing and assaulting her. His roommates, Charles Lee and George Eacker were also involved. That ordeal ended with Charles Lee dead. He and his roommates tried to kill the others but John killed him first."

"Alright, who else?"

"Well, there's George Frederick and Samuel Seabury. They harassed us and Samuel even tried to rape Alex."

"Who is this fucker and where can I find him?"

"Logan, calm down." Eliza placed her hand on Logan's shoulder in a soothing way. She really was the motherly type. It was hard for her to fit in with the others as they were all Bisexual (except for John, but he was gay). The point was, she felt like that was something big she couldn't relate to her friends on. Angelica, although asexual, was the only other straight one in the group. She could always fall back on Angelica when she needed it. That's why Angelica's death hit her harder than Peggy.

"Alright, I'll calm down. Continue."

"Finally there's John Adams. The WORST of them all. John moved here after getting shunned by his dad for being gay. He suppressed his feelings and got a girlfriend, Mary (A/N: I know his wife irl was named Martha but I used Mary just because [if you didn't notice by now]). She kicked him out when he couldn't hide that he was gay anymore. He got accepted into the college and on the first night, his roommate tried to rape him."

"Let me guess, that man was John Adams."

"Yes. He killed Angelica and Mary, tried to kill John, and presumably killed Maria. Which..." She trailed off.

Logan, who's mind was reeling, said, "Which... what?"

"Which means he's working with James Reynolds. He was stalking Maria after she and Peggy broke up. They must've tracked her down."

"What about those other people pictured?"

"Those are our friends Thomas, James, Aaron, and Theodosia. I guess they're being targeted too."

"And I am as well." The realization had hit Logan hard.

"Well, we're going to get you on the next flight back to Knoxville. We're not getting you hurt while you're here."

"Eliza, all do respect, but no! John and his buddies are already aware of me too. If I get on that plane, that's a giant metal tube in the sky that will become a death trap if John Adams does anything. I'm staying here and getting this solved."

"Alright, but you have to know how big this is, Logan. We are going up against five psychopathic insane people. I want you to get home to Lauren and your family."

"I will. I'll be careful."

With that, they went and rejoined the group in the living room. Peggy was freaking out. Lafayette quickly explained her dream to everyone.

"But Peg, Charles Lee obviously couldn't be here. I killed him." John cringed after he said that. While he didn't feel bad for it, as it was self defense, he still didn't like to talk about it.

"That's true. Also, Thomas, Aaron, James, and Theo aren't here." Alex said.

Eliza glanced nervously at Herc. "I called them and asked them to come over."

Almost simultaneously, there was a knock on the door. John grabbed his gun (yes he'd gotten another one). Alex grabbed a big book. Hercules cracked his knuckles. Lafayette grabbed the bat from the closet. Peggy grabbed a knife from the kitchen. Eliza pulled Logan back away from the action.

They all stood there, not knowing what to do. Logan pushed away form Eliza and broke through their huddle. "Oh this is ridiculous," he said as he looked through the peep hole.

There's a girl and three guys. I'm assuming they're friendly. And, after Alex looked as well, it was confirmed.

They let Thomas, Aaron, James, and Theo in. There was some reunions and introductions and then they were filled in on what was happening.

Theodosia was pissed, "this dude again."

"It's ok, Thea." Aaron said, using his pet name for her to clam her down.

Thomas spoke up, "what should we do about all this."

James chimes in sarcastically, "I don't have much longer to live, so I'd like to cherish it. So how about we go to the police?"

"No," yelled Logan. Everyone looked at him. "If this goes to the police, it goes to the media. If it goes to the media, it goes to my parents. They'd make me go home and never let me come back. They wouldn't trust any of you."

Lafayette spoke up. "I mean, we have taken them down before. We can do it again. We have extra people anyways."

Everyone reluctantly agreed. They all sat down on the couch to talk about plans, when Logan got a call.

"Is it your dad?" Alex asked nervously.

"No, it's Lauren." He answers it. "Hey babe... Yeah I got here safely... Mhmm, everything is great... My friends and I are having a good time... I'm not nervous about anything, what are you talking about?... Oh I know, I wanted you to be here too... Very badly... I promise, I'll make it up to you when I get home... Talk to you tomorrow. Bye!"

John spoke up, "you haven't said 'I love you' yet?"

"Well our anniversary is in two days, March 16. (A/N: they're a few days ahead of irl time) I was going to kiss her for the first time and tell her I love her at the top of 50 Rockefeller Plaza at night."

An unknown voice came from the hallway. "Awww. That's so sweet, Logan. Too bad you'll never see your precious Lauren again." He pulled out a gun and pointed it at all the people in the living room.

Logan was utterly confused and scared. Eliza grabbed his arm, and he figure out this was John Adams. When he hung up the pictures, they'd assumed he left, but he didn't. He had hid in the laundry room.

He walked over to the door and unlocked it. Four more men walked in. James Reynolds, Samuel Seabury, George Frederick, and George Eacker."

John Adams chuckled, "So... who wants to die first?"

A/N: OOOOO LONGER CHAPTER. This will have one (at the most two) more parts. Then we will have some fluff chapters for a bit. Idk when I'll end this story. My original plan before the whole hiatus was 30 Chaoters but I think I'll go past that.

Anyways, put in the comments what you want to see in those fluff chapters. Thanks!
