Cracked Glass

Now, I know you guys are wondering. Why haven't you put up the last chapter of the Purgatory up? I'll be honest. I'm still working on that chapter because I'm kind of going through writer's block with that one.

Benny: Yeah, the story that was your pride and joy and you can't even be bothered to finish it.

I promise you that I will have the story up by the end of next week. Anyway, it's Father's Day and so I've decided to do a new EENE fanfic.

Enjoy!

Sarah could feel the pain as she screamed in agony. She had no idea that the Eds would snap and definitely not like this. But everyone turning against each other was what scared her.

She couldn't be bothered to hide her tears as her pride would be the least of her concerns. Right now, she simply wanted them to stop. And as Double D looked over her, smirking, Sarah couldn't have felt more afraid...or confused in her entire life. Nobody could help her or the others.

The teacher covering the class was dead, having been shot in the head by Eddy. They tossed his body out a nearby window. She didn't know what disgusted her more: the bullet hole in the middle of Mister Garedo's forehead as he choked on his own blood or the horrific splat of his body hitting the ground.

Sarah said through her not-so-subtle sobbing " Double D, w-why are you doing t-this?" before she began to weep again.

Double D gave her a small, shy smile. And if it weren't for the circumstances and the time, she would have fully accepted that smile.

Double D then replied " It is quite simple, my dear Sarah."

Sarah thought " Oh, this bastard didn't just call me dear anything." as her angry tears rolled down her face.

Double D continued with " Our society seems to look down on those who are different or who don't follow the social status quo. They see these people as a threat to the social pyramid. Thus, society tries to make these people abandon their dreams and hopes and conform to their beliefs. We, on the other hand, believe in making these people free. This is only the beginning, Sarah."

Sarah thought " If this is the beginning, I sure as hell don't want to see the end." as she struggled to get up from underneath Ed's weight.

Kevin was struggling as well and just got free from Eddy's grip. Of course, Kevin didn't go to get help. Rather, he went to attack the Eds. He went for Double D in a complete fit of rage and fury. Unfortunately, that was Kevin's mistake.

Double D took out a pistol with a silencer and shot twice at Kevin. The first shot hit Kevin's shoulder and the second went into his stomach. As Kevin was clutching his stomach, Eddy managed to drag him back to the corner and even gave him a few kicks for measure.

Double D checked the clock, counting down every minute, every second until...his watch went off. He nodded to Eddy as he whispered in Ed's ear. It was time to start the process.

Ed got up and carefully placed Sarah not far from where he was. Eddy began to close and lock all of the windows as Double D took out a laptop from his bag and began to set something up and then he pulled down the projection screen.

Sarah thought " What the hell is going on now?"

The three boys lined up, side by side in front of the teacher's desk.

Eddy said " So here are all of you losers. Now, you're probably wondering why the hell we're doing this. As you gotta know, it's none of ya damn business. So here's the deal. There are nine of you in this room. Our old plan was to leave you all, some better off than others." before he glared heavily at Kevin.

Eddy nodded to Double D, who continued " Unfortunately, due to the antics of a few certain people, the powers that be will take five of you and leave the remaining four to die. If you're good, we might have one extra but for now, it stays at five alive and four dead. Too bad for you, we're the ones that make the final choice."

Double D then used the laptop and brought up a screen of all nine people by using pictures of them.

Double D said " As you can see, your faces are projected on this screen. For any person that survives, their face is removed from the screen. When three- or more likely- four faces are left, the process is over and we take the survivors."

He clicked on the screen. The first face was removed from the screen. To everybody's surprise, it was Jimmy's.

" One alive, eight questioning."

Double D then clicked on the screen again. The second face removed was one of Rolf's old school photos.

" Two alive, seven questioning."

The suspense and tension was eating at the remaining seven people. Would they be given enough mercy to survive? Would the Eds even consider having five people, let alone six?

Double D then clicked on the screen. The third face wasn't much to a surprise to Kevin or Sarah. It was Nazz.

" Three alive, six questioning."

Double D clicked on the screen. The fourth face was of Jonny holding Plank and smiling. Rarely after this day would this smile ever actually be real.

" Close to the end, folks. Four alive, five questioning."

Double D clicked on the screen one last time. Who would be the last survivor? Who would live?

This one shocked everyone, even that person. The fifth survivor was May Kanker.

" This is sudden death, people. Five alive, four questioning. One of you was good enough to become the sixth alive."

Sarah already knew that this person wasn't her. Even with the other three people being a prick, a pyscho and a stalker, she had no hope. She hated the Eds with a passion and everyone knew that.

Four faces were left on the screen. Double D clicked on the screen for the final time and the face that disappeared shocked Sarah. It was hers.

" Congratulations, Sarah. You're the sixth and final survivor."

She didn't know if she would cry, smile or do both. Right now, she was just relieved to be alive and well.

Sarah went over to where the other five survivors were. Double D looked at her and smiled at her again. And believe it or not, Sarah returned it. She returned the smile because she knew that Double D helped her live.

Eddy said " Alright so you six go with Ed and Sockhead. I have something to do quick." before the six hurriedly left the room with Ed and Double D.

The gunshots were quiet but the screams from the three deceased were so loud that it could have broken glass. Eddy then quickly tossed away the gun before he took off his gloves and tossed them out of the window as well. He then ran out of the room to join the others.

What happened that day was a true tragedy. But I'm just glad I'm alive right now. Being anyone's slave or wife isn't exactly great but I'm alive and with people that I care about so I'm not complaining. The six of us are now members of the DA just like the three Eds were trying to be.

I still live in Peach Creek with my family and the others. Having to go through school every day afterwards wasn't easy but at least I got to stay in Peach Creek. At least I didn't end up getting killed that day...or worse.

So give me your opinion in that little white box below!
