Suddenly a couple shots of gunfire blew out and a couple people who were trying to escape dropped dead, blood pouring out of theirs heads from where they d been hit. I could hear Arthur's insane, giddy laughter and I could feel more bile rise in my throat...
Michael's eyes traveled to where the armed boys where standing. For the first time in a while, he actually looked scared... "g-guys shouldn t we be... trying to find a way out...?"
Chase nodded and grabbed onto my coat sleeve "K-kris, what are you looking for? Let s go!"
I shrugged him off and turned to face my terrified friends, "you guys go find a good place to hide, make sure no one sees you... Chase, call me on your cell phone and tell me where your hiding." I looked at Michael and Tyler, "whatever you guys do... do NOT split up..."
Tyler widened his eyes "Kris where are you going!" I was already running off... "KRIS IT'S DANGEROUS!"
I fled into the crowd, pushing past the frantic people and over to the stairs. I looked around and in-between the people, desperately trying to find any sign of Maddox or Dallas, I had no such luck.
More shots were fired and the person right next to me widened their eyes and fell to the floor, screaming in pain as they were hit. I could actually hear the echoes of people around me and the hidden speakers blasting, "happy Halloween~!"
Yes, happy. Totally the word I was going to use...
I shook my head and continued up the stairs, unaware Arthur's eyes were glued on me every step of the way.
I reached the balcony where Arthur first stood and took in my surroundings. Surely they would be here... right? I began looking around and spotted the microphone sitting on the railing, my eyes narrowed, this had to be done...
I carefully walked over and grabbed onto it, holding it away from my face until I could stop panting, then without warning, I pulled the microphone up to my mouth and begin screaming "MADDOX! DALLAS!"
"Yes?" A voice piped up behind me and I screamed in terror, nearly falling off the balcony, but I was caught by four hands. I turned to see Maddox and Dallas, looking at me in confusion and I could feel the eyes of everyone else down below staring at me.
I let the microphone drop and it made a loud screeching sound through the speakers as it hit the floor, I didn't even flinch.
I suddenly hugged them tightly, "we have to get out of here..." I whispered.
Then somebody started clapping...
I immediately snapped my head up, standing at the stairs was Arthur and his freaky friends. I hissed and got in front of my sisters, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I screeched.
Arthur chuckled, "oh sweetie..." he purred, staring at me like I was a piece of meat, "... let me see your invitation..."
I pulled out my invitation obediently, instantly pulling out the pink, torn card, "your seeing it right now. Now back away." I stood in front of my sisters more.
Dallas was trembling in fear though I could feel Maddox was a lot calmer.
Arthur's eyes examined the pink paper card and I could see a smirk play on his lips. I felt my legs tremble.
Arthur beckoned me forward towards him and when I didn't move he growled, "... Finish them off... he whispered and I froze. Where they going to-...? The two men with the hair curls and guns walked to the balcony and aimed. About a handful of people where left... they where all frantically clawing at the door to get out. The two of them had them wiped out in a couple of seconds. Blood pooled onto the floor beneath the gunned down bodies and I couldn't help throwing up a bit in my mouth... Those poor people...
Arthur smirked and looked at the man with the bat, "take these three and their friends somewhere cozy for tonight...~" his eyes swirled as he looked at me, "the games begin in the morning..."
At first, I had fear welled up inside of me when the first people had died, it had then been replaced with sadness as more lives were taken. But now...? I was a angry and more pissed off then anything. And everyone who knew me knew, getting me angry...? Not the best choice. As soon as the man had come close to us I bared my teeth, frantically pushing my sisters back for safety, and apparently, the man didn't like that.
He swung his bat, almost knocking me upside the head with it, I ducked just in time. That s when I attacked him.
About two minutes later the boys with the similar hair curls had to pin me to the floor as I kicked and screamed. It wasn't fair though. They were much taller and stronger than me. My blind anger not making me think straight about what my chances of beating them up were.
Now, we where sitting in a room, with a single bed, just me and my sisters. I wondered what happened to Chase and the others... the two had taken my phone when they thew us in here and I had tried everything to get out... but nothing worked.
"Kris..." Dallas piped up, "I'm hungry... I didn't eat all day cause I thought we would get food!"
"I am too, Dallas..." Maddox whimpered, "but thats really the least of our worries right now..."
Suddenly the door swung open...
My head shot up in both fear and slight hope, I didn't know what time it was, or even how long we'd been in here...
I heard a scream and three males where shoved into the room by the man with the bat. Michael hissed and raised his fist at the man, only to get pushed into the wall.
I widened my eyes and shot up, "MICHAEL LEAVE IT!" I screamed.
Michael narrowed his eyes and pushed the man away, who left and locked the door.
Chase looked at me and tears welled in his eyes.
Tyler kicked the door.
Michael just sighed "..."
Maddox cried quietly, talking to the air next to her while Dallas was sitting on the bed, crying as well. I felt my anger swell up more and I swore I was going to explode, no body makes MY sisters cry! I suddenly turned around and kicked the wall as hard as possible, screaming at the top of my lungs using very colorful choice words I had in mind to show my thanks to those boys.
Tyler walked over and sat dow next to my crying sisters, trying to comfort them, "guys... it s not too bad...!" he smiled.
Dallas looked up with big teary eyes "...?"
Tyler grinned, "we could've eaten those cupcakes like Jerry!"
Dallas just cried harder...
I finally felt my anger swell down slightly and I shadowed my face, balling my hands into tight fists and hissing quietly.
Dallas gulped, "I-i-i just wanna go to bed..." Maddox nodded slowly along with Michael, "we should get some rest. That'd probably be best."
I looked up slightly, putting a fake smile onto my face, "you guys go ahead and sleep. I'll stay up and watch out for anything."
Chase nodded and walked over to the bed, slipping up onto it... that s when I realized they wouldn't all fit and let out a small laugh.
Tyler put a smirk on his face, "ladies first!" he pointed to the ground.
Dallas growled, "excuse me!"
I held in a laugh as they all started arguing about who would sleep on the floor and who would sleep on the bed until Michael drug Tyler to the floor with him and let Chase and Dallas sleep on the bed. Maddox was already asleep on the floor in the corner of the room...
I sat there for a while until everyones breathing had gone slow. I had no idea how they could even sleep at the moment... I sighed and stood up, pacing around my little area of the room. I looked at the small pink envelope still curled up in my hands, and thats when the doorknob rattled. I gasped and spun around, narrowing my eyes. As the door swung open, everything was dark. Until I saw those swirling purple eyes...
