Chapter 29: Jason
Before we can say anything else, I gallop down the hallway, to the door.
" JASON! WAIT UP!" I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!
Then I turn around and see Ru and Lightning, held from the neck, by...Vincent, who's cackling.
" RU!" I started running, I was right. I don't care. I don't care if I die, it will be for Noel, and Ru and Lightning, even though he attacked me. I don't care that my legs are throbbing from all of the running, I have to save them. I need to save them.
Then, without warning, I punched Vincent in the jaw. Right where it connects with bone and muscle. Holly would be satisfied. Vincent falls to the floor with a satisfying thud. My fist is pounding with pain, but my friends are safe. Sigh.
" J-J-Jason t-that wa-was-" Ru is gasping for breath. His legs are spread is trying to caw nearby.
" I know. Save it for later."
" Bu-" I'm worried about Ru and Lightning. I should drop them off at Mel's, but there is no time. We've got to get going. Vincent's breathing is getting steady.
" Run."
