It was completely dark. Nothing could be seen; suddenly the lights were turned on. Max was trapped inside a small place. Some buttons with numbers could be seen on her right and she guessed she was in an elevator.

Oh shit… what now? Where am I? Max thought starting to panic, looking at both sides and feeling like the walls would crush her. She went to the door and tried to open it but failed.

Fuck, this isn´t going to work… then she looked at the buttons. Perhaps if I press the emergency button someone can call for help, or open the door.

Max pressed the button, looked around alert of anything that could happen in the following minutes. Voices started screaming, calling… calling for Max.

"Max! Maxxxxx! Maaaaaaaaax!"

Max screamed in pure shock and fell on her back, and walked backwards till she hit the elevator wall. She looked at it, she could bet the wall was much far away than it was now.

"Holy shit!" She shouted. "Who are you?! What´s going on?!"

"Maxxxxx how could you do this to us… we were your friendssss", a voice was echoing but it was very familiar to Max.

"Vic-Victoria? That´s not true, we weren´t friends! At all. And I… I didn't mean to do it! I didn't want any of you dead!", Max said, having difficulty to breathe.

"You killed us all because of that punk girl? Because of one single person?! I can´t believe it Max, I was hoping you would make the right decision. I thought you were smarter than that!" This time it was Warren´s voice, hearing those things from one of her good friends really hurt.

"You´re not real! Warren would never say that!"

With a last effort to get away of the voices Max pressed another button, and one mosaic of the ground fell.

"This can´t be happening".

"What´s wrong Max? Afraid of dying, falling, is that it?", a sweet but angry voice asked.

"Kate?!", Max shouted looking to the ceiling. "Kate…"

"Max why did you save me, if you let me die yesterday? Why didn´t you let my suffering end when I wanted!"

"But you´re alive… I can feel it! You told me your parents would take you home, you weren´t in Arcadia Bay!" she explained smiling. She couldn´t understand why she was smiling. Max was sure she was going crazy.

"You killed my bunny!"

This made Max laugh, but it was probably the first thing making sense to her in that terrifying moment.

"I also killed Lisa, oh wait! And Pompidou! For who else's death do you all want to blame me, huh?! Who´s next?! Rachel?" she declared with a smile mixed with rage and sadness.

"I never said I was a good person!" she hugged herself and leaned against the wall. "Never…"

The mosaics on the ground began to fall one by one, till there was only the one under Max´ feet.

"Shit!"

"And now Max, the same has to happen to you. Go to hell!" all the voices shouted as the last mosaic fell, along with Max.

Max was on the ground, it was cold and hard. The place didn´t ring a bell, she was just sure of two things: She was alone and it was dark. Suddenly she felt someone picking her up, only the smile and two blue eyes could be seen in the middle of all that darkness, Max recognized that smile, those kind eyes, They belonged to a girl, to her girl; Chloe was holding Max, and telling her comforting words.

"I´m here Max. Don´t be afraid. I´m never leaving you. We are in this together. DON´T listen to any other voices besides mine… They are just telling lies" She said, her image starting to get completely visible to Max´ eyes.

"Oh Chloe…"

"Remember, don´t listen to them…" Chloe looked at her with a sad smile; Max could tell she was trying to hold back her tears.

"I won´t… I… just trust you Chloe", Max said while slowly being kissed by Chloe, that was still holding her bridal style. She placed her hands around Chloe´s neck and closed her eyes. She may be in a nightmare, but this Chloe wasn´t being dark, like the other one. This Chloe was supporting her, and that was everything she needed right now.

They kissed for brief seconds, then something felt strange. Chloe didn´t feel warm to Max anymore, she just looked hard and cold like a rock, and her lips weren´t kissing her lovingly anymore, she was being rough. Max opened her eyes and was scared to death, as Chloe was gone and in her place was Mr. Jefferson, showing her a deranged smile.

"No… get away from me you bastard!" She shouted in panic and he let her fall, but for some reason she didn´t feel any pain. Everything she did to get away was in vain. She felt a sharp pain in her neck as Mr. Jefferson was straddling her, injecting some drug in her veins. Max lost her strength to talk, to move… the last thing she remembered was Mr. Jefferson placing her on his left arm and holding her legs with his right arm, carrying her like she was a dead weight.

"Max! Max… wake up! Please!"

Max opened her eyes slowly. Everything looked a blur, she was seeing things double but some moments later she could finally focus on who was calling for her. That person was at Max´ waist level, crouched and touching her hands.

"Oh my god, finally! You hella scared me… I thought I had lost you forever!", a worried voice said.

"Ch… Chloe… What are you doing here?!", Max asked looking around her.

"Why am I in the dark room again? This is not funny anymore… This nightmare is fucking with my head…", she looked at her feet and tried to wake up.

"What nightmare?" Chloe asked, completely confused.

"Never mind… you´re just traumatized with what happened, it´s understandable that you are reacting this way. I will take you away from here".

Chloe tried to free Max and the lights began to fail and flash.

"Oh look… The storm is coming… People are going to die.", Max said, raising her head and showing a disturbed smile to Chloe who was too busy to notice it.

"Almost." Chloe said while freeing her left hand. "Let´s bail! Can you move?", she asked looking at her concerned and nervous.

"Yeah… I think so." Max replied, trying to gain forces to get up.

"Let´s go." She held Max´ hand and pulled her up lightly.

When both of them were about to run, they were surprised by Mr. Jefferson that was pointing a gun at Chloe.

"Holy shit!" Chloe shouted staring at Mr. Jefferson angrily. "Let us go, you psychopath! You hurt Max enough."

"I would love to, but you know, there´s a thing. I can´t let you both go tell the police about my little hobby. I sacrificed a lot to lose it all because of two cunty teenage hipsters." He gave a step forward and stared intently at Max.

"You know Max, there's a saying which says that If you want to learn what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph".

Max´ heart was beating so fast afraid of what could happen next. She feared for Chloe. She squeezed her hand harder, she couldn´t lose her, not again. Max looked at Chloe that was cursing under her breath.

"Fuck… No."

"Leave Chloe alone, she didn´t do anything to you!"

"WRONG! She fucked with my business. You both did, and do you know what happens to those who fuck with me? THEY DIE!"

Everything happened in bullet time. A BANG! could be heard in the distance. Chloe acted by instinct and threw herself in front of Max. She protected her like she was a shield, and hugged her while a bullet got straight inside her back.

"NO!", Max shouted furiously, catching Chloe in her arms. She was almost too heavy for her to stay up but she managed to get on her knees without causing too much damage to Chloe. She turned her so she was facing her. Max tried to rewind but it didn´t work, it was useless. "This can´t be happening… Chloe!"

Blood was all over her shirt and on the ground. Max couldn´t save her. Chloe moved her eyes from Max to Mr. Jefferson, her vision starting to fail. Max could see she was making a sacrifice to keep her eyes open.

"I´m sorry… I… couldn´t save you…" this was her last words before slowly closing her eyes.

"Chloe…"

Max gave Chloe a goodbye kiss. She didn´t care what happened to her from now on, she lost the most important person in her life. She parted her lips from Chloe´s and started crying touching her forehead with her own. Some of her tears fell on Chloe´s pale face.

"See Max, I told you what happens to people that fuck with me. And now it´s your turn to have the same faith. I´m sorry that you had to see your friend dying this way. But, it´s life." Mr. Jefferson said approaching Max and Chloe's corpse.

"You´re a monster! You´re going to suffer you motherfucker! You killed my best friend, the one I loved the most. I don´t care what you do with me or after this. You´re going to die asshole!"

He laughed sterically.

"Oh, that made me laugh so much. Thank you Max, I really needed to laugh a little, you don´t know how much I thank you for that. But you know, there´s nothing you can do to stop me, nobody can. And I´m not the one that has a gun pointed at my head."

Max furrowed her brows sadly, and looked at the girl in her arms. He was right, nobody could stop him now.

"Goodbye, Max."

BANG!

"CHLOE!" Max screamed in panic and terror, and sat up on the bed. She was sweating and her heart was beating like she had run a marathon. Max takes her hand to her forehead, cleaning the sweat and looks around.

"It was just a nightmare… I´m awake now… I am right?", she asks slowly.

She then touched the place where Chloe was, but… It was empty.

"What the fuck is going on? Chloe?" she started touching all the bed, like someone who loses their glasses. She knew she wouldn´t find anyone in the bed, but she had a little bit of hope as well.

"She can´t be dead, not again! This is just another nightmare!"

Tell me what you think on the reviews! And sorry for the delay! Hope you enjoyed!
