Can I Make It Until Dawn? [Josh x OC] An Until Dawn Story

Sacrifice

"Stop! Stop... Just say-"

"We're always talking around it -- and now, I mean... We've wasted everything!"

I felt a little out of place, but I kept quiet as they talked between eachother.

"Ashley, none of it was wasted."

Oh god, is he...?

"What to you mean?" She sniffled and stared at him in confusion.

"Every second that I've spent with you, was the only thing I ever wanted to do with my time." Chris' voice cracked, and I knew that he was about to start crying himself.

"Wh-What're you saying, Chris?" Ashley shook her head in disbelief.

"I'm s-sorry, I should've told you how I felt..." He reached up and as if to cover his face with his hand, but stopped mid-way.

"God, Chris..."

He's finally expressing his feelings... Fuck, this is sickly-sweet.

"Ashley, I swear when we get out of this-"

He was cut off by the purring sound of a machine starting up. Above them, there were two vertically-placed sawblades beginning to spin with tremendous speed. The blades started to move downwards, inching closer and closer to them.

"Oh god, oh god, I'm not ready to die!" Ashley thrashed around in her chair, as if she could somehow get free.

"Oh god! Ashley, I'll get you out of this -- I wont let you die!" Chris was now struggling with his restraints as well.

"Guys! Ashley, Chris, you need to calm down!" I tried reasoning with them. "We'll never get out of this if we don't keep a level head!" I understood why they were panicking so badly -- they were in immeadiate danger due to the blades above them, but they needed to get ahold of themselves!

"No, Courtney, no!" Ashley shook her head violently. "We're going to die!"

"Ash-"

"You should listen to Courtney... she's right."

A demonic voice spoke, the same from the room where Josh had died. "Hello there, my special little subjects." He chuckled, as Ashley began sobbing once again.

"I'm scared, Chris!" She whimpered, shaking her head and pulling at the restraints.

"Don't be scared, it'll be okay." I tried my best to reassure her, but I knew my words would do little to help.

"Oh, you should be, Ash. Because here's the twist -- Chris has made one fatal choice already today. And now, he must make another."

Chris reached forward and picked up a gun from the table, that I had somehow failed to notice.

"Chris, you can either take that gun and shoot Ashley... or you can shoot yourself. Whoever's left, can live. The choice is yours."

"What?" I shook my head, failing to comprehend the situation at hand. "What the fuck is this?! Is this- is this supposed to be some sort of sick game!?" I pulled harshly at my restraints, to the point that they dug into my skin and drew blood.

Obviously frustrated and scared, Chris aimed up and shot at the mechanism with the sawblades. Sadly, it only made the Psycho chuckle.

"Don't be so silly, Chris."

The machine made a few unsettling clanking noises and sped up, descending downwards at a quicker rate.

"Y'know what? Fuck him!" I gritted my teeth as I forced out the next sentence. "Chris, shoot me! Neither of you diserve to die -- shoot me instead!"

"No! God no, Courtney!" Ashley's gaze shifted between me and Chris, before finally staying on Chris. She had a desperate look in her eyes. "Don't do it, Chris! She's your sister!" She put on a small, scared smile. "You saved me last time, so let me save you! Shoot me, Chris!"

Chris' gaze drifted from Ashley to me, and lingered for a moment longer than expected. He raised the gun, aiming it towards me.

"God, Courtney... I'm so-"

"It's okay." I smiled sadly, though I felt prideful inside. If I could sacrifice myself to save them, then so be it. "...Chris... Just so you know-" My voice cracked a little, and I mentally scolded myself. "I-I just wanna tell you, one last time-" Tears began streaming down my cheeks; I closed my eyes and swallowed my fear.

"I love you, Big Brother."
