Chapter 9: This can't be good

Jade woke up far better than she had yesterday, anything was better than a locked van. The group had decided to rest on the beach, Robbie was looking for his glasses along the tide. Everyone else was asleep except for Kat who was still grabbing her wrist from where Jade had cut off her hand, they'd wrapped it up. "Hey Kat" she said awkwardly

"Morning Jade" Kat made a half grin.

"How you feeling?"

Kat didn't respond for a second "I don't blame you"

"What?"

"My hand, it's not your fault, you did it to save my life" Kat smiled

"Of course Kat, I'd never let you die"

Kat got up "let's go see how Robbie's doing"

The two walked over to their friend "Robbie how long have you been doing this" asked Jade

Robbie looked up "I haven't slept, yesterday was close to my breaking point, I lost Rex and I can't see."

"Would you like some help?" Kat smiled

"I'll be fine, it's not like I'll find them anyways" Robbie tripped over the tide "what the?" Robbie reached down and pulled a broken Rex out of the water "Rex you're alive"

"You damn well should have guessed" Robbie somehow got the mouth to move.

"Well at least you found Rex" said Kat

Jade looked off into the ocean. Something rose from the depths and floated closer. Jade soon realized it was Trina and rushed into the water to get her, she dragged her to shore "Jade what are you doing" Robbie looked concerned.

Jade didn't know what she was doing, she lay the body on the ground, she looked so peaceful, but she was dead, and Jade killed her. She had to get rid of it. What could she do though? People would catch her, there was only one way this could go, Jade pulled out the knife and cut off Trina's foot, she pulled off her sock and shoe and bit. Hard.

"Oh god what are you doing?!" Robbie grabbed Kat's hand and ran.

Jade had half finished the leg when Tori woke up "my sister you piece of shit" Tori ran over and kicked Jade in the face and then pushed Trina's body back to sea.

"You ruin everything!" Jade shouted as she tackled Tori who threw her off and ran into the nearby woods Jade followed and Kat and Robbie woke up Beck and Andre so they ran after.

Tori found a clearing with a small parking lot and a factory, she turned behind her and saw Jade running at her so she ran into the factory. When the others got there Robbie finally fainted and Kat grabbed him "keep going" she said.

Tori grabbed a broom inside and turned to fight back, she hit Jade with the broom knocking her back, "I have had it with you" Jade ran at her with the knife and plunged the knife in her stomach the same as she did to Trina, she reached all the way through and cut one of the tubes in the factory, when she pulled the knife out, it was so covered in blood it slipped out of her hand and stuck into one of the control panels, blood dripping. Tori was enraged, she broke the broom and stuck it into Jade's stomach. As Jade looked up she saw the tube squirt a liquid all over Tori. Tori stared at Jade as Jade backed away from her, Tori fell to the floor, Jade saw the body fizzle away from the chemicals as Tori screamed, but it didn't feel like Tori was gone, then Jade felt a jolt out of nowhere and stumble back only to be caught by Andre and dragged back, Beck closed the door.

"Does she look different to you?" Beck asked, Jade's pale complexion was now a tan.

"Yeah I guess" said Andre

"Freeze, right where you are" a voice called, it was one of the masked men on the news.

Beck grabbed Jade's legs and he and Andre ran outside, Robbie and Kat had broken into a car "Kat! I really hope that's hot wired" yelled Beck

Kat jumped to the front seat and pulled frantically with her one hand the at wires, the others piled into the car, Andre in the passenger seat, the others in the back.

"Jesus that was close, Beck, how's Jade?" No answer, Andre turned to the back. No Beck but his seatbelt was buckled.

"He was here before" said Robbie

"That's too many people we've lost" Andre said as they sped away from the factory.
