Hello again! Wow, I'm really surprised at the positive response I've gotten, thank you guys so much! And sorry, but I'm going to keep you guys in suspense for the moment. Oh, and sunshineharrison, it's true ;)

Enjoy :)

Dhani stirred slowly, groaning. He wasn't in his bed, that was for sure. Maybe he fell asleep on the couch again. But then the smell of blood and grass hit him. And he felt..sunlight?

His ribs started throbbing painfully, and he wanted more than anything to just sink back into the darkness. But there was this nagging feeling inside him telling him not to, that something was seriously wrong. So with a lot of effort, he pried his eyes open, blinking with a slight moan when the sunlight assaulted his eyes.

The first thing he saw was the steering wheel of his honda. And through the mostly shattered windshield, a tree smashed into the front of it. What the fuck? Where the hell was he? Did he crash or something?

Frowning, Dhani racked his brain for answers, looking around while gently flexing his limbs to make sure everything was okay . The moment his eyes fell on Emmy slumped in the passenger seat, everything came rushing back to him. The camping trip. A tyre bursting completely, sending them swerving out of control into the woods. Him frantically pressing onto the brakes but them not working. Them crashing head on into a tree; the sounds of glass shattering, screaming, him slamming into the steering wheel..

With his heart hammering in his already throbbing chest, Dhani immediately turned to make sure Emmy and Matty were okay. The moment he did, however, his ribs exploded with pain, making him double over with a gritted yell, clutching at his chest. The edges of his vision literally blacked out for a minute and he screwed his eyes shut, waiting, praying for the pain to just go away.

After a few torturous moments, it did, leaving him panting slightly, his face covered in sweat. He was pretty sure he'd broken quite a few ribs, but everything else seemed fine. Sucking it up with a deep breath, he straightened up and shook Emmy slightly.

'Emmy? Emmy wake up!'

No response. Dhani's mind immediately went on overdrive, but he quickly shook it off. Don't panic, he told himself. The worst thing you can do right now is panic.

Something snapped and Dhani whipped around, eyes darting here and there. It'd sounded like it came from right behind the car, but the rearview mirror showed nothing. Stop panicking! He forcefully reminded himself. Probably just an animal or something!

A rustling sound came from right beside his door, and Dhani almost screamed, but then saw it was just a raccoon. He let out a relieved breath, wondering how much fun Matty would..Matty! He'd completely forgotten about him!

Taking another painful deep breath, Dhani turned around to see if he was okay. The moment his eyes fell on his friend lying motionless on the backseat facing his way, he really wished he hadn't. He let out a weird choked out gasp as the sight made his stomach lurch.

'Holy shit!' He whispered, turning back around quickly, his eyes screwed shut and tears automatically streaming down his face. This can't be happening, this can't be happening. He kept repeating it over and over in his head.

'No, please God no..' He choked out desperately, burying his face into his hands, trying his hardest to somehow unsee what he'd just seen, for it to just not be real. Just a freakish hallucination, or maybe all this was just a dream and he'd wake up any second to Matty pushing him off his bed, laughing and healthy and..alive.

But this was real. All of this. The pain, Matty drenched in blood, his eyes looking at him blankly but not really seeing anything. The picture that was sure to haunt him forvever flashed in Dhani's mind again and he lost his pathetic fight with the nausea, pushing his door open clumsily and throwing up.

Dhani was sure his heart was going to explode at this point. As he emptied the contents of his stomach into the grass, the force sent stabs of pain through his entire chest. His vision blacked out again and he squeezed his eyes shut, trying with all his might to not pass out. He had to hold onto his door for support as the dizziness hit him.

After a few horrible moments, he was able to stop retching. He sighed gratefully, gasping for breath, each one still making his chest throb. He carefully edged his way back into his seat, tears and sweat streaming down his face as he sobbed slightly. The pain was fucking unbearable, but he had to focus. He still had to make sure Emmy was okay.

'Dhani?'

Emmy's scared voice jolted him out of his misery, and he whipped his eyes open and turned to look at her.

'Hey, hey, are you okay?' He asked, reaching out to touch her arm, trying to stop hicupping. She didn't move from her spot against the door or answer him, just looked around with wide eyes, apparently piecing everything together.

'Emmy?' He said a little more forcefully, shaking her arm. She jerked up, looking at him.

'Yeah, I'm..I'm fine, holy fuck. Oh look at you! Are you okay, are you hurt? ' She asked, putting a soft hand on his cheek. He let out a relieved breath, looking away as tears as he remembered why he'd been constantly reminding himself not to look in the backseat.

'Dhani?' She asked worriedly when he didn't answer. 'Dhani answer me, are you okay? Is..is Matty okay?' She asked a little louder when she suddenly remembered he'd been with them. Dhani swallowed hard, finally looking at Emmy, not sure what to say. When Emmy caught sight of Matty's legs in the backseat and made to turn and check if he was okay, Dhani snapped out of it.

'NO!' He yelled, and held Emmy back as far as he could reach. There was no way in hell that he was going to let her look!

'What are you doing?' She cried, trying to break free.

'Just don't look, Emmy please. For god's sake, do not look' He choked out pleadingly, holding her in place. She was starting to panic now, he could tell.

'Dhani please, Matty..'

'He's gone Emmy!' He said, and she froze in place, staring at him. 'Matty's dead, jesus christ..' He repeated, his voice breaking at the mention of his name as the tears started up again. She inhaled sharply.

'Don't say that..' She muttered, trying to thrown his hands off but he tightened them. He could see the tears now making their way down her cheeks

'Emmy..'

'Don't say that!' She yelled, struggling wildly.

'Emmy listen to me!'

'He's not dead, he fucking can't be dead!' She screamed, her voice breaking slightly at the end as she finally shook his hands off and pushed his chest forcefully. He let out a hoarse yell as the pain returned, so strong this time that he almost did pass out. He slumped forward as the dizziness returned, but Emmy caught him. He could hear her saying something, but it just wasn't registering in his pain filled haze.

When it finally subsided, he was able to lift his head up to see Emmy still holding him up, sobbing uncontrollably, choking out apologies over and over again. He immediately pulled her into a hug, putting a hand behind her head as he rocked her back and forth, quietly telling her it was okay as his own tears fell again.

Dante looked closely at the knife in his hand, at the blood glistening at the tip of it. The faint light from the bulb above his head shone directly onto it, making it look so surreal and unearthly. He wiped off a bit of it with his finger and put it in his mouth, savouring the metallic taste. Remus started sobbing louder from at his feet where he lay in a heap, holding his bleeding arm. Dante just stood and looked at him, feeling nothing but disgust.

Remus had almost ruined the entire plan. He had frozen in place when he saw all the blood in the car, and then panicked when he saw the Harrison boy was waking up. His part had been so simple, just get the device from the back of the car and the spike from the back wheel, but he'd almost ruined that too. A surge of anger flooded Dante again and he kicked out at Remus, catching him in the side. His brother howled in pain, but Dante didn't care. He deserved it. Why on earth was he letting his brother help him anyway? Well, because he needed him at the end. His brother was bigger and stronger, and that would be crucial.

Dante smiled in delight as he remembered that bastard's son in pain, how pathetic he'd looked as he cried over his dead friend. That had been on the woods on the other side of the road, of course, but he'd seen everything through his binoculars. Dante needed to stay where he was. The boy had heard Remus at one point, that was for sure, but his brother had gotten away unspotted.

Feeling calm and happy again, Dante bent down and patted Remus on the shoulder, laughing when his brother flinched.

'It's alright Remus. Now let's get that patched up, hmm?' He said kindly, smoothing his hair. Remus looked at him with scared eyes.

'Are you gonna hit me again?'

'No, no more.'

His brother smiled a little. He knew he deserved to be punished for today, but it was okay. He trusted his brother, they'd been through so much together since their father had died. But soon, all the misery would stop. Very soon

Dum dum dum! More suspense, I'm sorry, but you got a little insight in the brothers' head! And yes, I killed Matty, I went through a whole debate on wether I wanted to or not, but in the end I knew it had to happen :/

Review please :)
