Until Dawn ~ Another Path {Josh x OC}

Chapter 10

I was in a room, a dark room. Where was I?

"Chris!" I cried out.

My head shot violently to the right, followed an ear piercing screech.

Where are you now? We all needed you. You didn't help any of us.

Distorted Hannah walked out from the corner that the screech came from.

Why didn't you save us?

She questioned tilting her head.

"No no no no. Please I didn't mean to! I tried!" I whimpered.

Beth now stepped in from the left corner, her also in her distorted state.

You left us to die. Why did you do that Bella?

Now, they both chimed in, filling both of my ears with the torment. When I thought it couldn't get any worse, that's when he walked out. Josh, or the psycho, walked out right in front of me.

Why didn't you save us?

He repeated in his robotic voice.

"Jo-Josh....not you too. You know I tried. Don't you?" I cried.

You never tried. You did nothing. It's your fault!

He yelled at me, now taking off his mask, revealing his bloody face and milky eyes.

"Wha-what's wrong Josh?" I fumbled  over my words, shocked by what is usually a welcoming smile, now a bloody face.

You killed all of us.

"No, your not dead, I know your not..I just..just saw you." I said in disbelief.

You killed us!

He said stepping forward, hitting my head with his heavy fist, sending me into darkness.

I awoke in a panic, screaming, crying, and calling out their names. My cloths were damp with sweat while I laid on the couch next to Chris, all of my friends gathered around me. I frantically searched for Chris's hand, making sure this was reality and not another horrid nightmare. Once I found it, I held onto it tightly.

"Chris?" I whimpered before trying to pull my head off of the couch, yet was forced back down by my throbbing headache.

"Bella. Thank god your up. I was so worried, you were having a nightmare." He said, gently squeezing my hand back.

"Mmhm." I groaned, still holding his hand tightly.

Once again, I attempted to pull my head up, but this time I was forced down by not my headache, but by my protective brother.

"You're not in a state to be sitting up and walking around yet Bells, your head still has a huge bump on it." He kept me down.

"Chris is right Bella, it's not the best idea." Sam chimed in, it's good to have everyone back. Wait, no, everyone's not here, at least not where I could see from were I was laying. Now I forced myself up, even if all of my instinct were telling me to lay back down.

I wriggled myself out of my brothers grip and pulled myself up to a sitting position, were I scanned the room more throughly.

"Were's Mike and Josh?" I questioned with worry.

"Uhh, Mike took Josh out to the shed for the night, he's staying out there with him.." Chris rubbed the back of his neck, feeling guilty for only telling me now.

"What? You can't just do that to him. He's got issues, it's not his fault. Why couldn't of you just kept him here? Now I understand what my nightmare was saying!" I practically yelled.

"He put us all in danger, lost Matt, and, as of right now, killed Jess. He wasn't stable." Chris tried to justify Josh's terrible sentence of isolation.

"So that means, he's forced to suffer out in the cold with who knows what out there? Tell me, if that was me who did this to you, would you leave me out there to die?" I asked Chris.

"Of course not, your my sister." Chris knew he had a flawed logic.

"And he's your best friend." I said now getting up, almost falling if it wasn't for Ashely, who had caught me.

"Where do you think your going like this Bella?" Ashely questioned.

"I'm going to get Mike and Josh to bring them back here." I said stumbling off on my own.

"Bella, I lost you once already, there is no way I am letting you go out there so I can lose you again." Chris firmly grabbed my arm, not letting go.

"Well there is no way in hell I'm letting either one of them stay out there." Before Chris had a chance to reply, Mike ran into the room, panting heavily.

"Oh my god, Bella, your ok. I can't tell you how sorry I am." He said between breaths, pulling me into a hug.

I didn't stay in his arms for long, due to the fact he hit me and pulled Josh out there with Chris.

"Em! You made it!" He said, hugging her as well.

"Barley!" She replied, hugging him back.

To be quite honest, I didn't even notice she was here until now.

"What about Matt?" Mike said pulling away from her.

"We're trying to figure that out." Ashely added.

"And were the fuck is Josh!" I yelled angrily at Mike.

After my sentence, we heard the door being slammed on, I immediately thought of Josh.
