Roulette Of Death: The Final Chapter

Author's Note: Instead of having an epilogue, I decided to end the story here and make the epilogue the sequel's first chapter, sound fair?

A year later,

16 year old Tobey looked down at his picture of him and Ben at the skate park when they were 13. Ben was barely five feet back then. He chuckled at the good times he had when he still laughed. Ever since the horrible events that happened last year he hadn't been himself anymore. Nobody blamed him for it though.

Tobey felt an eerie presence, like the type when you feel someone staring at you. He shot his eyes across the hallway startled. He the felt a strong grasp on his shoulder, right on top of his black KISS shirt. He turned around and saw a figure in front of him. He tried to figure out who the person was under his long thick brown hair hidden under his black and red beanie. His beanie had a red spider on it. He realized that the figure was Anthony.

" Hey. You okay there?" Anthony asked confused over Tobey's reaction. Tobey nodded with a tired smile. He had bags under his eyes. " Ummmmm…… Me, Mike, and Anna are going to the diner on Horton Circle and Christensen Avenue, you wanna come?"

Tobey thought for a moment and then nodded. " All right I'll see you there. What time?"

"7:00"

" OK."

Anthony walked away down the hallway to Math. Tobey had detention, so he headed toward the detention classroom.

Tobey rode his new skateboard across Christensen Avenue. He didn't want to take Horton Circle since that place brought him bad memories.

Ever since Amy's death, the police found him and he had to go live with a guardian over 21, his closest one was his 22 year old cousin Chad "Chazz" Hermes. Chad was in a band called Maximum Volume: 180. Dumb name, but they needed to change their name because they were sued by a band with the name Maximum Volume. So they changed their name. Maximum Volume: 180 was the best band around , however, they still didn't get an album out. Mostly cause they usually just covered songs. They were 4 members in 180 Degrees. Chad "Chazz" -guitarist/ lead singer, Ariel "Sapphire" Tobias- lead singer. Blaine "Blaze" Blake-bassist, and Seth Scott- drummer. 180 represented the years in which Seth, Ariel, and Blaine were born since Chad chose the name in the first place., (1988, 1990, and 1991).

Tobey saw the diner approach as he rode his new skateboard. He finally saw Anthony and Anna, but he saw a figure whose face looked like Mike's. Mike had changed a lot. He had gain weight. He didn't get fatter, but he was about 6'4 and his towering body had muscles all over. He had always had muscle, but he matured more which made him grow.

Tobey had grown too. He was 5'11. He had more muscle build , he wasn't lanky like he used to be or how Anthony still is. He looked like 19. Especially since he grew a thin, barely visible, goatee. Anna and Anthony were the only ones who looked the same except for Anthony's deeper voice.

"Tobey!" Mike began with a booming voice, " What's good man!"

Tobey couldn't help but smile. He slapped his hand against Mike's. Anna welcomed him with a sweet smile, and Anthony just looked at him. Tobey sat down in the middle of Mike and Anna at the round table for four. He saw that Anna had an ice cold Pepsi glass in front of her.

"Ok, guys, I brought you all here cause we need to talk about something." Anthony began. Anna interrupted.

"Anthony, no, we thought you wanted us to come just to hang out."

" No, guys listen to me it's important." Anthony said. " Last year…."

" Please don't even start with that shit again." Mike growled.

'

Tobey's sight was blurred with tears at the memory of Amy. The image of her being crushed like a bug kept haunting him. However, he remained quiet.

" Guys, you really need to know this.' Anthony said and Anna once again interrupted.

" Anthony, that's over." She said, and Anthony snapped back.

" Well, what if it's not." Anna kept quiet this time. The silence was broken by somebody's cell phone playing the song "When We Die." by Bowling For Soup. They all jumped to see that the cell phone belonged to a couple sitting at the table next to him. They looked at each other Ironically, the outside TV was playing the song's music video. They looked at it to see that the video was about the lead singer having trouble with his relationship with his dad. Anthony thought about Tobey's relationship with his father, but returned to the conversation.

"What if it isn't done, what if it was just waiting." Anthony said.

"Than why is nothing happening to us or happened to us over a year?" Mike snapped.

"Well, I'm trying figure that out." Anthony answered. " Look Ben died a week after the crash, than Serena the next day. The next day, at 4:00 when we went to see Bludworth, Kyle died. Then , in a shorter gap of time, Giovanna died. Then, in an even shorter gap of time, 7 hour later, Alexis died. Then, 5 hours later, Amy died."

" So, now it's been a year, A YEAR." Mike pointed out. Then he thought of it and let out an "ohhhhh…"

"Exactly. The gaps between the deaths affected the next. If somebody died , and then it took longer for somebody else's death, the third person will die quickly soon after in a shorter amount of time."

" So, if I died, and it took Mike a year to die after me, and Tobey was next, Tobey would die in a small amount of time after Mike?" Anna asked. Anthony nodded. They comprehended, but somehow it was confusing. Anna saw Tobey with tears in his eyes. Tobey raised himself from the chair.

"You guys make it harder for me to forget. I'm barely getting over Amy, and you guys make it worse." He said as his voice cracked between sobs. Then, he noticed that the song The Kill by 30 Seconds To Mars playing where When We Die was playing. They all were startled and then, the heavy umbrella on the table fell, heading towards Anna's head. Mike quickly, as of instinct, pushed Anna , along with her chair, out of the way. The four teens looked at each other.

" We need to get out of here." Tobey said, agreeing once again with Anthony. The four teens rushed out of their seats and hurried to leave. Anna's soda, knocked down by the umbrella's impact, went straight to the outlet where the TV was connected to and the main power of the whole diner. The flames burst, heading for Mike who was rapidly pulled away by Anthony.

The electric letters that spelled Diner now spelled Die. " That's impossible." He thought. " I haven't seen a sign in…in.. A YEAR." He knew that if he saw a sign, it meant a death was coming, or even worse, Deaths.

Anthony walked back , cautiously, getting away from the diner, to the busy lane of Horton Circle. A trailer that said Bumblebee Honey was heading full speed at him. Tobey grabbed his Anthony's shirt and tugged him out of the way. Several events followed in a matter of seconds.

One was that Anthony was thrown to the floor in middle of the corner of Christensen Ave and Horton Circle. Anna rushed to his side and hugged him.

Then, the Bumblebee Honey trailer kept going crashing it to a stop sign that was divided in three pieces from the impact. The sharp top red octagon with the letters that spelled STOP was thrown towards Tobey, decapitating him from his left ear to his bottom right jaw by surprise. His body collapsed on the floor with his own blood bathing his clothes.

At the same moment, another piece from the tube holding the sign was sent flying forward to a storm drain, getting it stuck there. It was only a few feet away from Anthony and Anna. The trailer's right tires were ripped by the metal tube, sending crashing down toward Anthony and Anna , crushing both.

Mike stared in shock, horror and confusion at the bodies of his three friends, all dead. He looked, taking heavy gasps of breathe. He let out one ear piercing scream of frustration, fear, and hurt from now knowing he was alone.

Author's Note: Okay first, it took me a long time to find the best ending for the story, that's why it took me a long time to update my story. So, now I have like 5 alternate endings I will have up soon. Second, I didn't let Tobey , Anthony or Anna live (sorry) because it would have been to obvious. I bet none of you saw this coming, me letting only Mike live? I know, shocking. Now, there will be a sequel starring Mike, Ty Villa, and Jacob Ross with new characters such as Chad, yes Tobey's cousin which he was living with along with his band. The Sequel will be called Final Destination: Malevolence (just thought the title sounded cool XD).

Second, I want to thank everybody who read this story cause, honestly all the reviews meant a lot to me. If you liked this story, check out my future stories. It will be mostly thrillers with one or two random stuff. Also, If you want to know more about these characters , I plan to do a spin-off on this story, since I can't continue it cause they're dead, I'm going to write about stuff like How did Tobey fall in love with Amy,? Or How did Anthony and Mike meet? Or How did Tobey and Alexis' relationship turn out? Or maybe just random events in the life of Serena, Kyle, Giovanna, Alexis, Amy , Anna, Ben, or maybe even minor characters like Jordan or Kristy, or Ella. So if I get positive responses on that, I'll continue it. So Make sure you check that out. So once again, thank you.
