Dark of Dawn
...
SORRY IT'S LATE! MY FRIENDS AND I WENT SOMEWHERE FOR HALLOWEEN AND I FORGOT TO POST THE CHAPTER.
...
"Farkle," Lucas said realizing he'd been hitting Ben for a while now. "That's-that's enough."
He had to pull the genius away from him in order to get him to stop.
Ben slid down the wall covered in blood. His nose wasn't facing the right way and his eyes began to swell. He looked beat up, but he still carried that smirk in his face.
"THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Riley yelled, frightening Lucas in the process. "Wipe that smirk off your face before-"
"STOP!" Lucas yelled. "JUST STOP!"
He ran a hand through his hair, "Guys. We only have a few hours. Nothing will happen if we take out our anger on him."
"Won't change anything either," Zay agreed.
"Exactly. We just have to tolerate his bullshit for a few more hours," he sauntered towards Riley to make sure she was okay.
"I'm fine," she waved him off not wanting him to touch her.
One Hour Later
"I can't do this," Riley said standing up from her seat. "I can't. Everytime I look at him, I see Maya being chopped up into pieces. I'm sorry...I just; I can't."
"It's okay."
Ben began to laugh. "Do you hear her too-?"
Riley began to step towards him, but Lucas pulled her back.
It scared him to think that she'd act on anger just like he has. Lucas has been trying to calm himself down but he's starting to figure he can't supress it.
"Look, we can't do anything. I don't want him here either, but we wait until tomorrow..."
As Lucas turned around he noticed that Ben has stood up too. Lucas pushed him back to the wall, choking him in the process. "I'm getting sick and tired of you. You are really testing my patience and I swear to God I WILL kill you - "
"Like I did your bitch-?"
He punched him in the stomach and threw him back towards the wall.
Riley covered her eyes and crouched down wanting to cover the tears in her eyes.
She then came to a realization she hadn't realized before.
Lucas let him go, but Ben remained on his feet.
"Why?" Riley asked.
"Why what?" he grunted.
"Why did you kill her?"
He didn't say anything.
"ANSWER ME!"
Ben could only laugh. Riley shook her head in disappointment and stared at him with such loath. He was her aversion, her disgust...
She gave him a dead look before turning her back on him. Lucas was in between the two when he watched as she walked away and in that moment nothing tempted him more than to just hurt Ben. Before he could act on his anger, Riley took out the scissors in her hands and stapped Ben in the collarbone. Her waist hit Lucas shoulder and he pulled her back.
Ben fell down to the floor with the scissors in him. Lucas raised a questioning eyebrow at Riley also centered with surprise and hurt.
What was worse was that Riley didn't feel any guilt. Why would she? Why would she feel bad for someone who had taken so much from her life? "For Maya..."
Zay stared at the body then looked at Riley, Farkle did the same.
He crouched down and checked his pulse.
He couldn't feel any. "She must've hit something. He's dead."
"What?" Zay asked.
"Oh my God," Farkle sighed as he stepped away. "He's...dead."
Lucas looked at Riley then back at Ben. He could barely say anything. Riley looked at her hands filled with blood.
She really did want him dead.
...
"We can't stay in here," Riley told them. "We need to go to the guest cabin, Ben's gone. The only thing we need to worry about is the Wendigo's."
"The Wendigo's are one hundred times worse."
"His journal said that they can't see movement. If we're quiet maybe -"
"We're just putting ourselves at risk..."
"We can just ger rid of the body..."
"No. We'll just be tampering with it, if we leave maybe we can make it to the cabin. It beats staying in here with...him," Farkle said staring at the body.
...
The four ran out the basement and into the leaving room.
Zay stayed behind to see if anything was in the man's backpack. In the smallest pocket, he found a lighter.
He placed it in his pockets before running out. He ran through the hallways and up the stairs, once he made it towards the first floor he realized everything was quiet.
Riley was infront of him and she took her hand out, signaling him to slow down. A chandelier was placed directly above them and when he looked up...it was there.
A wendigo stood on top and to the front of the door another wendigo was there.
"Don't...move...a muscle," Riley whispered loud enough for him to hear.
The one that was on the ground jumped high in the air towards where the one on the chandelier was. From the looks of it, none where interested in the other.
One attacked the other sending it straight towards the fireplace where it broke a gas pipe. They continued to throw each other across the room until one got it's head ripped apart.
The wendigo walked towards Farkle's direction but he remained still. He couldn't move when something as evil as that was only inches away from him.
Lucas looked at the pipe that had been broken, he then turned to the lightswitch and then looked at Riley. She seemed to understand what he meant since she gave him a reassuring nod.
Riley took a step back merely because she wanted to distract the wendigo so Lucas can walk towards the switch.
A loud creak was heard as the monster roared in anger. It's frightening teeth aimed at Riley, it then began to move towards her.
Lucas placed his palm over the light bulb and used his strength to silently break it. Once he did he turned towards Riley who silently nodded at him.
Riley made her way towards the door as Farkle took three steps back.
Once the brunette was safe, Lucas followed after her. He turned to Zay and pointed to the switch-silently letting him know to turn it on.
Zay and Farkle looked at each other, he gestured towards the door using his head.
He nodded.
Farkle wasn't far from the door when he turned around to look at Zay.
Zay then took out the lighter.
"NO!" Farkle yelled. But it was too late. He was blasted feet from the air.
...
Riley stood up from the ground, coughing. She turned towards the lodge to only see it in flames.
"LUCAS!" she yelled as she picked herself up. "FARKLE!"
She stopped in her tracks when she found Farkle. Half of him was burned while the other half was bruised. "Oh my God," she gasped.
"NO, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" she cried. "Farkle."
Memories of them as young kids came rushing towards her as she looked at her dead friend.
From the corner of her eye a figure approached her. She looked towards it. But before she could say anything, she was hit in the head, knocking her out in the process.
...
Riley woke up inside a dark, cold room. Shackles were wrapped around her arms and blood ran from her left temple. Her head ached but she was more worried about the place she was in.
A bearded man crouched down in front of her and caressed her cheeks.
"And then there was one," his voice was raspy and eerie. "Finally..."
"Where am I?"
"Safe," he answered.
"Lucas?" she began. "Where's Lucas?"
His light brown eyes mirrored her own, "Don't worry about him..."
"Who-who are you?"
"Oh c'mon. You don't remember me?" His hands were still touching her face. "You were very young when we last met."
Riley looked at him before she made a run for it, she was quickly pulled back by the shackles.
"Not so fast, my beautiful."
"Please. Just let me go, please."
"I just got you...I'm never letting you go now."
"Please," she begged.
Riley stared at him for a while before she realized who he was. "NO!"
He smiled. "Surprise, beautiful."
"NO. You're dead, you're dead."
"Am I?"
"You're not him. YOU'RE NOT HIM!"
"I am," he nodded. "I am for you."
"You're Stuart..." she cried. "Farkle's dad..."
He kissed her forehead for five slow seconds. "Now we can be together."
He winked at her and began to walk away.
"LET ME GO!" she screamed. "PLEASE! LET ME GO!"
But he never did...
Writers Note: What a chapter? Many moments lead to that scene. From the pedophilia papers to the picture of Riley, everything led to this moment.
