So... I'm very, very, very, sorry that I haven't updated in a while... Please forgive me...! I know that is one of the worst things an author can do so I'm so sorry!
Also I'm writing on my ipad so any screw ups I apologize in advance for.
"You haven't been honest with me." I say bluntly. "You've been lying the whole time."
"What are you talking about? I can't lie to you. I am you."
I cross my arms.
"Still not convinced? Whatever. I don't care." Emmett says.
"So who did it then? It can't be a suicide. It's impossible." I claim.
"Nothing's impossible and you know it. But you're right, it was a murder."
"Of course I'm right."
"Stop being so damn conceited. I can't tell you who did it." He growls.
"Why not?" I hiss.
"Because you don't know. If I'm a part of you then how am I supposed to know something you don't?" He asks.
"Enough."
"You're alone now. There may be people all around you be you're alone. You can feel it. Nawing at your brain and your insides like a parasite."
"Stop." I demand.
"You'll be swallowed up inside of your own madness. You'll only have me to talk to!" He gives me a sharp, toothy grin. "The infection's spreading my dear. The infection's spreading faster and faster."
"Stop!" I cry standing up.
"Stop what?" Reaver looks at me, confused. The rest of them are giving me odd looks as well.
"...Nothing..." I say quietly. "Get back to work." They continue to load up the truck.
"Maybe it's sea sickness." Jay suggests.
"You dope we're on land." Russia barks. That stupidity faintly reminded me of someone else.
"It's okay, I specialize in health and medical." Nick says.
"And when did you have time to go to college?" Bavaria rolls her eyes. Charlotte suddenly starts hacking. Since we had come back from the mall she's become so sick. Her skin was a greenish-white color, her eyes had a yellow tint and swelled purple underneath.
"That's it." Nel says, closing the trunk.
"I'll drive." I say, taking the keys from Jay.
"Ahem, I'll drive." Reaver snatches the keys out of my hands. Nick, Charlotte and Russia pile into the backseat.
"You're gonna have to sit in the trunk." I say to Jay and Bavaria. I go to the passenger seat. "You coming?" I ask Nel and Lauren. Lauren's jaw drops.
"You're letting us come, too?" Nel raises an eyebrow.
"If you don't mind sitting in the back." I shrug. "Oh and... Lauren?" I say before getting in. "Shut your mouth before any flies fly in."
Later that night...
"So are we just going to pretend nothing ever happened?" I ask Reaver. Everyone else was asleep.
"No."
"Then what are we going to do?" I ask.
"Well, if there's a killer among our group it's either Nel or Lauren." Reaver shrugs. "We'll just have to keep our eyes on them."
"Right." I nod. There wasn't much else we could do.
"And then again... There's always the possibility that we're being followed." Reaver says adjusting the review mirror. Two headlights appear and then disappear. Reaver starts to pull over.
"Don't stop the car." I command. "Please. Don't stop it." I beg. He nods and continues driving. It was silent.
"So now you have an idea of who it is." Emmett shrugs. "Good for us."
I roll my eyes.
"Oh, and by the way. It seems that only the people you remember are the people who sow up in your crazy little dreams. For instance, myself. I learned this today when you had a brief recollection of someone from your past. He'll be joining us from now on." Emmett says.
"Wha...?" I ask before a shadow starts moving behind the single dull light.
"Hello, beautiful." A familiar voice says. "I bet you missed me, didn't you. But what I want to know is... How could you forget about me? With all my good lucks and charms and such... How could you forget about good ol' Kory?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I scream.
Shush. I know it was short.
