AN: I don't own MI High, or anything else you recognise, I just own Demi, Olly, Patterson, Carrie and Jamie. So, as I said, this is the last chapter before an epilogue, so thank you all for reading, commenting and following this, it means a lot. If you want to decide what my next story should be, go and vote in the poll on my page. Thank you!
Carrie's POV.
I ran as fast as I could. Demi could be in serious trouble. I eventually arrived back at St Hearts and found Tom talking to Frank in the school yard. "Psst!" I said, looking over at them. Frank looked shocked, as he wandered over. "Carrie? What are you...?" He asked.
"No time for that. Demi's in danger. Amy's kidnapped her for some number, and is gonna kill her. Get Jamie, and let's go!" I said, grabbing him.
"I'll go get her." Tom said, before running off.
"Aren't you meant to be dead?" Frank asked.
"Maybe. But being dead is boring. Besides, Patterson approached me to protect Demi." I answered.
"Patterson? Why is he protecting Demi?"
"How the hell am I meant to know?" I snapped as Tom returned with Jamie and 3 other people who I guessed were Demi's teammates. Jamie's face said it all.
"Mom?" I nodded, and she threw her arms around me. "I don't want to know how. I'm just glad that you're back." She whispered into my ear, and I kissed her forehead.
"I missed you." I whispered, and she smiled faintly.
"Me too."
"Look, if Demi is in danger shouldn't we be going?" Tom interrupted, and Jamie sighed.
"Yeah, come on." We then began to run. We were going to be there to protect her, no matter what.
Olly's POV
We found Patterson in the hall, talking to Amy. Why did this seem a good idea when we were away from here? Demi seemed equally nervous, as we sat in our vent in the ceiling, looking down. "You OK?" I whispered, clutching her hand. She nodded.
"I just don't like heights. Why are we in this vent again?"
"Who knows. I can't even remember how we got up here. Look, let's just attempt to get into the corridor. Then we can get Patterson and go." I said, beginning to back up, and in turn, into the ceiling vents in the corridor. Thankfully no one was there, so I was able to drop down onto a piece of furniture, which I then broke, and onto the floor. "Demi? Just drop straight down. I promise to catch you." I called up, and she seemed scared. "Trust me." She sighed, and pushed herself down, and I caught her. "Told you." I said, smirking. She laughed quietly, before looking down to my arms, which were around her waist. "Well, it's a good thing Tom isn't here." I said, before releasing her. "He'd get Jamie to attack me if he knew that I had my arms wrapped around you like that."
"And then Jai would get angry." She muttered, going to stand by the door. "How are we going to get back out?" She asked.
"Same way we got in." I replied, pointing at the vent. "Or we could use the door around the corner." She smiled and we both jumped when Patterson appeared behind her.
"What are you doing here?" He whispered, shutting the hall door.
"Getting you out. Now, we need to go." I answered, as Demi grabbed him and began to pull him towards the door.
"Why would I want to go?" Patterson questioned.
"Because MI9 will be here soon, and they will arrest you. I'm giving you a chance to go and not get stuck in prison for 20 years." Demi answered.
"Why? After everything I did..." He trailed off.
"I'm not excusing that, but I think that what happened doesn't matter. And Jamie would probably murder me if you went to jail on my account." She replied, and Patterson laughed. "Thank you." He hugged her, and offered me his hand. I took it and we shook hands, before he walked off, around the corner. As soon as he had gone, I turned to Demi, smiling, and we began to walk to the door. However once Demi stepped in front of me, I felt cold metal being pressed to the back of my head. "Take one step further Demi, and I blow his brains out." Amy said, causing Demi to stop.
"Nice to see you too." I replied, as she dug the gun further into the back of my head.
"I mean it." She yelled, as Demi stared in horror at me.
"Demi, go. Don't worry about me." I said, encouraging her. Demi shook her head, as I smiled at her. "It'll be fine. Please Dems, go. But, before you do. If I don't make it." I swallowed and continued, "Tell Jamie that I'm sorry." I said, shutting my eyes. I heard footsteps running off, and a click, before a loud bang, as I fell to the floor.
Jamie's POV
As soon as we arrived at the mansion, I could tell something was wrong. Maybe it was the fact that it was in the middle of nowhere, maybe it was because it belonged to Patterson, or maybe it was the fact that it was on fire. Where was Demi? Was she inside? Oh, god. My Mother seemed as worried as I was, and Tom seemed horrified. A dark figure appeared in the flames, before dropping to our feet, extinguishing the flames that surrounded them. Once the flames disappeared, I realised that it was Demi. Screaming, I wrapped my arms around her tightly. She looked at me, confusion evident in her eyes. "It's OK, you're safe now. Where's Olly?" I asked, as she frowned.
"He didn't... Amy... She shot him." She trailed off, as I shook my head, tears forming. "His last words were for me to say sorry to you." She said. I let go of her, and got up, as my mother wrapped her arms around me. A series of loud bangs filled the air, as I looked towards the flames. A woman was sliding along the ground, looking like something out of a horror movie. Her hair was matted with blood, and her face was streaked with marks. I realised she had a gun in her hand, and that she was firing at us. As if it was an automatic reaction, Tom pulled Demi behind him, and I did the same with my mother. Once the fifth shot fired, she collapsed as the flames engulfed her form. Demi sighed, and said, "Thank god that's over." Tom nodded, and pulled her into him, wrapping his arms around her tightly. He whispered something to her, blushing slightly, and she looked up. And then I noticed the growing patch of red on her school shirt. "Dems, you're bleeding." I said, as she looked down, terror in her eyes. One of the fire woman's bullets must have hit her. She began to sway, and collapsed, only to be caught by her father. Dan and the others, on the other hand, seemed interested in Carrie. "Jai..." Dan said, and I turned to face him. "Yes Morgan?"
"Your mother's head is bleeding." Dan said, as I turned and saw that my mother was also on the floor, blood pouring out of her head.
"No... Not again. You can't leave me alone again!" I said, picking her up, realising that she wasn't moving. I began to cry again. She was gone for good this time. In the past few hours, I had lost everything that mattered. As I looked into the forest, I saw Patterson staring at me. He mouthed something to me, before running off into the forest. I couldn't tell what it was, it was too dark. As I turned, I felt someone grab my neck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it was the Fire Woman. She held a knife to my neck, and said,
"Give me Demi, and I'll let the girl go unharmed." I didn't struggle. Struggling would make it worse. Instead, I kicked out, and attempted to hit her leg. I missed, and she tightened her grip on me. "Nice try Sanders. You're going to end up like your mother. And your father. He died on my accord as well." She whispered, as I said,
"Don't mention them. Stop it." As she went to reply, there was another loud bang, and she dropped down. Stella has arrived, and had saved me. I felt a sharp pain, and clutched my neck, and looked at my hand. Blood. So much blood. I felt dizzy and fell to the floor, allowing the darkness to take over.
AN: And I'm going to end it there! Hope you enjoyed! So, like I said last chapter, at least 3 will die. Thanks for reading!
