Until Dawn ~ Another Path {Josh x OC}

Chapter 9

"Please!" A muffled female voice came from the other room.

"I can't! I can't decide!" Another followed after, this one being male.

"What was that?" Sam questioned.

"Is that crying?" Mike replied as we walked closer to the other door.

As we got closer, I recognized the voices. No, not my brother, it can't be. What was he doing to him.

"Chris? No..what is he doing? What can't he decide on..." I whimpered, fearing for his well being.

"It's fine Bella, at least he's still alive." Mike reassured me.

"Yeah, but for how long?" I ran ahead of them, slamming into the door, not caring about the impact to my head, that was separating us.

"Chris!" I screamed, seeing the saw blades above both Chris' and Ashley's head, while Chris held a gun.

"Bella? You're..you're alive..." He seemed relived, but that was all gone once the psycho walked out of the other room.

"No no no! Get away!" Ashely yelled, squirming in her chair.

I wasn't afraid, yet confused, because that was what Josh was wearing when he came to see me....

Chris shot the psycho, but no impact was inflicted, making me even more confused then before.

"Oh Chris. Oh Chris Chris Chris Chris." He said in his robotic voice, the one I had heard before, my fear of what I had thought becoming more and more plausible.

"What the fuck?" Chris cursed looking down at the gun.

"Oh, you've heard of blanks before, I mean really?" He replied before grabbing his mask and pulling it from his head. My fear has been realized.

My emotions becoming to conflicted to understand. Anger, happiness, relief, fear, shock, all being mixed into one.

Was Josh, the sweet, loving person that helped me through my worst times, the one who had cared for me, capable of this horrid torture? Was he capable of killing Jess, for severing Mikes fingers, for setting all of this up?

And he wasn't dead, he was alive and breathing right here, with me, I knew it wasn't just another one of my illusions. He hadn't suffering like his sisters. He wasn't gone for good.

But why? Why would he do this to his closest friends who felt so much guilt after his sisters death? Me, Chris and Sam had stayed with him through it all. It didn't make sense for him to put us through this horrid torture, if we hadn't suffered enough.

"Josh?" Chris was just as confused as I.

"Hahahahahah." Josh laughed with a sick glint in his eye.

"Josh!" Sam yelled, who had now come up behind me.

"I told you he wasn't dead! I told you!" I practically yelled, a few happy tears dripping from my eyes.

"Josh." Mike said firmly.

"Oh, oh very good!" He continued to laugh, which was unlike his usual warm chuckle.

"Everyone of you! Got my name! And after all you've been through! Good good good good! I mean how does that feel? Right?" He continued on with his sick little speech while Mike and I got the ties off of Chris and Sam helped Ashley.
