AN: And here we go, the third chapter to his scary tale. This chapter is going to be kinda short, beacuse I dont want to give too much away in a single chapter. So, here it goes.
NOTE: THIS CHAPTER MIGHT BE HARD FOR SOME TO READ. If you have a weak stomach and/or weak emotions. DO. NOT. READ. You have been warned.
Chapter 3: No Deal
Allegra was covered in sweat, her hair wet and sticking to her forehead, her body completely aching...but she was smiling. She turned over and nuzzled her face into a mans chest...Viggo rested his hand on the back of her head. I was about 11:00PM in the Lodge, everyone was asleep except for those two.
"That..was....amazing..." Allegra panted out. Viggo smiled, his eyes half drooped, equally sweaty.
"Im happy it was with you.." Viggo whispered, kissing Allegra's forehead.
Suddenly, the room began to spin around Allegra, the lights dimmed, and she could no longer feel Viggo's chest underneath her. The bed and covers began to turn into the cold wet ground of the Black Station, the pillows and furniture turned into the other riders, then she felt something poke her in the side. She looked over, and saw the handle of Pete's axe, jabbing into her side...his eyes dark red, laughing insanely. Allegra screamed at the top of her lungs..and snapped back into reality.
"Allegra!..Calm down..ALLEGRA!" Atomika whispered, jabbing her softly with the ski pole.
"Ah!...wait...Atomika?..Nngh..stop that.." Allegra mumbled, sitting up.
"You fell asleep at your post...sure you dont want to shift change? Im feeling a little better..I can clock in a couple of hours." Atomika asked, helping Allegra up off of the floor.
"Nah, Im fine...I..I just lost in thought.." she lied.
Atomika limped over to the lawn chair next to her, and sat down, taking a load off of his leg. Allegra wiped the sweat from her brow, and the tears from her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Atomika asked, helping her into her seat.
Allegra didnt speak, she just shook her head.
"...Is it about Viggo?" Atomika asked, being sure not to wake the other riders up.
"No...no...Its not that..its just that.." Allegra trailed off, she couldnt bring herself to say what was on her mind.
"Its just what?" Atomika asked, pushing the conversation farther.
"Its that...if I would of checked to see if Pete was alive...he...would of never...-- she began to sob softly-- Viggo...and Moby..."
Atomika shook his head, he knew that Allegra thought that this was all her fault, if some ways it was, but he knew that saying that to her face wouldnt make her feel any better.
"You did what anyone else would do if their significant other just got killed, you have nothing to feel guilty about..." Atomika whispered, nodding. Atomika wrapped his arm around Allegra for a small hug.
"Atomika...theres more..." she whispered, her eyes still a little puffy.
"What?" Atomika asked, looking a little worried.
"Its about what Psymon said...what if Pete really is going by those rules....I mean...he said the virgins never die..." she trailed off yet again.
Atomika managed a little chuckle. "Your letting Stark get to you, thats all. Dont worry about it, Im pretty sure he isnt going by some rules... and even so, I dont think he even knows we made it to the Station, we just need to wait for this storm to pass over and call for help. Okay?"
Allegra nodded again, her tears no longer welled in her eyes.
"You can go back to sleep, Atomika..Im good for another couple of hours...Thank you..." Allegra smiled, as Atomika limped back over to the couch, settling himself before he went back to sleep.
"Psst...Atomika.....David Adam Mikal?" Allegra dared to say Atomika's full name, to test if he was really asleep. Atomika proceeded to snore. Allegra took this as her cue, she skillfully reached into Mac's Jacket that she was using as a blanket, and took out his M-Comm, she knew what she was about to do was risky, but she also knew it had to be done.
She dialed Viggo's M-Comm up, and sat in silence, listening to to it ring, and suddenly..someone picked up.
"....Hello?" Allegra asked, she could hear someone panting in the background.
"Hmm...Allegra..." the voice replied, it was indeed Pete.
"...Pete..listen to me...Im sorry for what I did...I didnt mean to leave you back there...I thought you were dea--" Pete had cut her off.
"Thats your problem girl, you thought. You and all your kind think you can just...THINK of something and its solved...your heads arent used for everything, girlie." Pete spat, the sound alone made Allegra cringe.
"If you would of used that little ball of flesh in your chest, you know...your heart...you would of known to check both bodies instead of just your fuckin' lovers." Pete panted into the phone, it was obvious he was on the move.
"Pete..I really...Im sorry...I didnt know..." Allegra couldnt find the words, tears welling up in her eyes as she fished frantically for an answer.
"Why did you call me?" Pete asked, sounding somewhat frustrated.
"....I wanted to make a deal..." Allegra replied, her voice monotone.
"....A deal?" Pete questioned.
"y-yes...a..small deal..." Allegra whimpered, she was scared to death...but she knew what had to be done.
"....Im listening." Pete grunted.
"...Instead of hurting--" Allegra started before Pete cut her off again.
"Killing" Pete interjected.
"...Right...killing all of us...Ill...give myself up...if you leave them all alone." Allegra said, tears running down her face.
"Let me get this straight...your gonna let me kill you...instead of the rest of them?....Whats the catch?" Pete grunted, a smirk spreading across his face.
"....If you kill me...you have to leave the rest of them alone, Griff, Kaori, Psymon...all of them. Just me." she cried now, knowing she had just signed her life away.
"...Id have to know where you are, girlie." Pete whispered, the sound of snow crunching underneath his feet.
"...We made it to the Black Station...Ill meet you outside..." Allegra choked, hanging up the M-Comm and exiting the Station.
One Hour Later...
Allegra stood outside, wearing Mac's jacket, his M-comm in her hand. The sound of crunching snow, and the huffing and puffing in the distance alerted her that Pete was near.
Pete arrived, keeping his distance, and staying in the shadows.
"....Well?" Allegra stammered, her eyes wet and puffy from crying, thinking about what she was about to do.
"....Im still thinking..." Pete said, stepping into the moonlight, the gruesome man had his usual long raincoat on, brandishing a large wood cutting axe over his shoulder, the blood dried onto it had to be Mobys. Allegra gasped at the sight of the bloody axe, knowing that the same fate awaited her.
"Its a crying shame that a pretty girl like you has to go this way..." Pete bagan to confess.
"You looked like you had so much goin for ya...like that one move you do..what is it...Ah yeah..the Cappa.."
"...Capo..." Allegra corrected him, her mind racing.
"Whatever..welp, its looks like im gonna have to do the deed sooner or later..." Pete stepped closer to her, holding the axe lower now. Allegra stepped back.
"You never told me if you were going to let the rest of them go freely..." she whispered.
"Oh yeah..well you see...You said they are all at Black Station, right?...So it seems you led me right to them anyway...so I could...kill them first..then kill you..or just kill you and be on my happy little way.." Pete mocked deep though, rubbing his scruffy chin.
"But you know...theres a sense of bravery in what your doin..." Pete confessed yet again, stepping closer. The answer seemed obvious to Allegra now, she took a headband from her pocket...Viggos...and put it on her face, covering her eyes.
"Dont wanna see it comming eh?...I understand...the brit didnt see his commin either." Pete smiled, aiming the axe right at her neck.
"Any last words, girlie?"
Allegra opened her mouth to say her last words, but a different voice came out.
"Does anyone else work here other than me?" the voice said, Allegra looked around blindly, puzzled.
At that moment, a long object came into contact with the back of Petes head, forcing him to his knees.
"AUGH! What the hell!?" Pete moaned, bleeding from the back of his head as Atomika stood behind him, holding his ski pole like a sword.
"...I thought so." Atomika murmured, taking another swing at Pete's head with the pole, aiming to know him out.
Atomika looked over at Allegra "Dont ever call me by my real name.."
"ATOMIKA!?" Allegra screamed, taking her blindfold off to see Atomika, attempting to kill Pete with the ski pole.
"Allegra, I dont know what your doing here, but run! Warn the others!" Atomika yelled, hitting Pete again, who was groaning dully at the pain.
"Atomika..you dont under--" Allegra started.
"ALLEGRA RUN!" Atomika yelled, just before Pete turned around, giving him a hard punch in the gut. Atomka doubled over in pain, holding his midsection.
"So this is what you had planned girlie!? Trying to use the gimp here to jump me!?" Pete yelled, it was a wonder how no one inside of the lodge heard him. Atomka fell to his knees, Pete standing up and pulling him up by the collar of his shirt.
"Looks like I get a two for one deal" Pete smirked.
Atomika looked at him, and spit in his eye, forcing Pete to drop him.
"Hell, I figure with this leg, Ill be dead by infection in a couple of hours, I might as well make them count..." Atomika moaned, reaching over and picking up Pete's Axe. Pete kicked the axe out of Atomika's hand, catching it before it hit the snow, in one swift movement, he swing it, taking off Atomika's leg.
"AAAUUGH!!! AAAAAAH!!!" Atomika yelled, falling to his side, clutching the stump that used to be his leg, his good leg.
Pete stood up, wiping the spit from his eye.
"Oooh...did I get the wrong leg?...Im sorry. Let me fix that for...YOU!" Pete rose the axe above his head, and swung it down, taking off Atomika's bad leg. Atomika wailed in pain, turning the white snow into a dark maroon. Atomika could no longer see, he could no longer speak..he closed his eyes. Pete smirked, and turned to Allegra, who was in shock.
Pete bounced towards Allegra, she couldnt run, her eyes locked on Atomika, whos chest slowly began to stop rising..until it didnt rise at all...Atomika was dead.
"...That...it...no.." Allegra tried to explain Atomika's actions, Pete didnt want to hear any of it.
"ATOMIKA WASNT SUPPOSED TO COME OUT HERE!...HE WASNT..NOO!" Pete grabbed her by her Viggo's headband.
"Put it on..." Pete ordered, Allegra was helpless..all she could do was obey. Allegra placed the headband over her eyes, tears soaking the cloth.
"...What about the others?" Allegra cried, knowing her final moments were about up.
Pete paused..aiming the axe again.
"......No deal" Pete swung the axe, the sound of the bones breaking filling the night air...
AN: ..Oh...my...god. Okay, usually this dosent happen. But Im the damn AUTHOR of this and it even scared ME. Just so you all know, I dont usually write horror, this is the FIRST horror I have ever written...wow, this was hard for me to write..not hard as in the text....but I mean emotionally. I hope you all liked it...review.
