Chapter Four

"help help help"she shouts...i see lights...seems like someone pulled his/her car over

"indrea come back..."maxi whispers loudly...the sound is starting to get loud again

"keep quiet indrea"i whisper loudly too

I poke my head out a little bit to see....'cause the sound is so loud and seems so close..

My eyes almost bulged out on seeing the creature...i quickly hid again....

Federick wanted to stand up to drag Indrea back...i held him and shook my head negatively

"Chhhaaaaarrggeee"we hear Leon and the others scream...what the hell...

Frederick Maxi and i look up to see leon tackling and stabbing the creature continuously with a knife ...Emily pours a bowl of hot water on it...it shrieked ....while jax and mia attacked its legs

Successfully they killed it...now i see why leon is the school's quarterback

We were all happy....the lights turned on ....is this it, did we? when..i smiled at Mia...whose eyes were filled with tears...then we all hear

"PROTOTYPE NUMBER FOUR ELIMINATED"

What does that mean...i trace Mia's stares...i turn to see Indrea burnt and roasted to the wall....nobody could even recognize her for sure

Emily looks around as she drops the bowl "no no no...where is my sister...where is my sister indrea"she moves near to the burnt black unrecognisable body"

"no don't touch it...nobody touch or lean on the wall...you'll be electrocuted ...im sorry Emily"leon says as he drags her to sit

"i'm going to get some water for emily"mia says with a shaky voice

"i'll come too"jax says

"if Indrea was prototype number four ...who was prototype number six"i bring up

"My guess is either donald or leonie...that means one of them is dead"frederick says

"they refer to us as prototypes ...what are we...is this some kind of fuck**g game"leon says

"what says the time?"emily asks...i check my phone

"11pm on the dot"i answer

"when did all this whole sh*t start"emily asks

"if i can recall...i came over 8pm"mia gives emily the water

"it started 9"maxi says

"8 hours countdown, we stay in this shithole for six more hours and we've lost two"emily says

"you're saying two hours we lose two people"frederick says

"there is 8 of us left"i say

"lets forget about that...the numbering and the deaths might just be coincidental...the goal is to stay together and stay alive...indrea died 'cause she didn't listen"i add

"this is not coincidental Clare..nothing is, look around"emily sprang up

"indrea is dead...we have a dead body right in our midst ..what if donald is dead..and the death list is boy...then girl...then another boy..what if...leonie is the one dead and the next on the list is boy boy...then girl girl"she adds

"what if cheerleaders were the first targets...i mean..emily is smart ...she made us see a lot of things...i'm sure donald can take care of himself 'because he's smart too...so that would mean...indrea and leonie are gone 'cause they were cheerleaders....i'm just saying we also have nerds ...emily and donald …

.we have quarterbacks...maxi and leon....we have children...jax and mia"frederick says...leon glares at him

"That's the smartest thing you can come up with? Ugh? fedo...where does that leave you and Clare"maxi says

"hey don't call me that "frederick fires back

"guys will you just stop it already ...stop predicting how deaths are gonna be...stay focused like i said the goal is to stay together and alive" i say

" i agree"leon smiles

We hear sounds upstairs...and music starts playing...what is it this time.....we all look at the direction of the sound expecting the worst..

Mrs Angel

"Indrea Stones"

"PROTOTYPE FOUR ELIMINATED"i gasped...oh God protect my children

"Mr and Mrs Stones...one of your kid is gone...so what should we do...ill give you both a minute to pick who dies...is it Mrs Stones or Mr Stones"the unidentified man says

they stare at each other shocked...i really wish i can make a run for it...this place is heavily guarded...but is he really going to kill us if our children die...im with no husband ...what if one of my kids die...what is he going to do with me...cut my body parts...sh*t

"okay since you both seem confused ...i'll make this easy"he claps his hands...the servants give Mr and Mrs stones each a gun

"if one of you don't pull the trigger ...ill kill both of you...and the second child...Emily...choose wisely

"you have some seconds left...tick tock...tick...tock"he laughs devilishly

"come on Marie...here take ....shoot me so...we could save emily ...this is the least i can do"Mr Stones says

"I cant ...i cant...i cant pull the trigger...ill forever feel guilty Gene"Mrs Stones says trembling

This must be really hard for them i never want to be in that position

Mrs Stones hugs Gene

"3"the man in uniform says "2....1"

"i love you Gene"she kisses him...and shoots herself right in the head

"Noooo"...."arrrggghhh"Mr Stones cries

"See that was easy...wasn't it?" the man says...the servants packs the body and the guns

"Lets see who is next ...let's begin phase 2" the man mutters loudly

Clare

Music Playing

〽Look at you, needing me〽

〽You know i'm not your friend , without some greenery〽

〽Walking wearing feters ,Peter should know better〽

〽Your Cover up ..is caving in〽

〽Man is such a fool ...why we saving him..〽

〽Poisoning themselves now...begging for our help.wow..〽

"is that not your ring tone mia"i ask her

〽Hills burn in California...〽

"so are there still things like this in the house"jax points at the dead creature and i nod

"fedo where are you going to"maxi asks...i look up to see frederick almost halfway across the stairs

〽My turn to ignore ya〽

"federick ...what are you doing"i say but he moves on

"dude get back here"leon half yells

〽Don't say i didnt warn ya〽

I run to him and stop at his front.his eyes are closed.."listen to me...you need to wake up"i tap his cheek

〽All the good girls go to hell〽

Others try to push and drag him back "i think he's in some kind of trance"emily says

〽Cause even God herself, has enemies〽

I keep on tapping him..but he wont bulge...oh God please help....emily runs down ...picks a knife...

〽And once the water starts to rise...and heaven's out of sight〽

She comes back and cut him "ouch"frederick yelps

〽She wants the devil on her team〽

{(All the Good Girls go to Hell by Billie Eilish)}

Music stops playing

I hug him immediately...i didn't know when i started to cry

"i thought i lost you...please don't ever do that ever again...please"

Everyone joins in the hugging
