Chapter 10 - Crystal

                                    

                                          
Running. Running as fast as we could to get to the music building, hoping the killer's still there. I hope he is.
As the building started coming to view, a familiar face was seen ahead of us.
Well, it seemed familiar to Tom and Kelly seeing as they stopped in shock.
Wait, is that the girl that was attacked? How did she survive?
The killer's a lunatic and a killing machine!
They walked over to us, the girl from before - Layla I believe her name was, and three other girls that look younger than her.
One of them caught my attention. She stuck out to the other two girls beside her. She looked almost identical to Layla, except she looks older than Layla. I know Layla's older due to height difference. It makes a difference.
"I gotta thank y'all for leaving me to die earlier."
I had a feeling she'd bring that up. I felt horrid but Tom was pushing us away from her.
"I pushed them away," Tom admitted "I got scared for my and their lives. As I didn't know you very well, I ran with them and left you to die. I'm sorry."
"Huh?" the identical looking girl to Layla looked at us four for an answer to what was going on but I wasn't willing to explain.
So Layla did it herself. She also explained how she's fought him off twice.
Damn girl, I need you to teach me a few tricks. No joke, her story is making me fall for her.
Yes, I'm lesbian. I may not look it but appearance doesn't prove who you are, it's just the body you're paired with.
The thing is, I've spoke with her before and she seemed almost shy. I've never seen her being so badass, blunt and - obviously - as social as ever. Today may be a tragedy but if I was to die before I could escape, I could die a happy girl with fantasies in mind.
After Tom apologising to Layla multiple times, she laid the incident to rest and moved on.
"So y'all are aware; this is my sister, Zayla," she leant her arm over the girl's shoulder, she then moved to the other girls "And these are twins, Lucy and Luna." she pointed each out individually so we knew which was which. Lucy is pink, Luna is blue.
Before myself, Tom and Kelly could introduce ourselves to the girls, an unexpected but expected guest came from the music building.
He ran towards us at almost lightning speed. I didn't have enough time to react.
"Behind you!" Tom screamed at the girls.
Layla looked behind them and pushed the girls roughly to the side so they wouldn't get hit.
The three of us moved to the same side to avoid injury.
He was moving so fast, he couldn't turn or even move his arms to cut us.
He slowed himself down, after running past us like he was a racing car. He looked over his shoulder at us before cracking his neck as his body turned to face us too.
"The plan is to unmask him. Be as careful as you can." Tom whispers to us.
We need to be careful or we will die.
Layla hid the girls behind some parked cars nearby so they wouldn't get hurt.
Tom pulled out the screwdriver, Kelly pulled out a hammer, and I pulled out both of my own.
Then we look over to Layla who had a knife. Where did she get that from?
It freaked me out seeing her with a knife but it's protection and she wouldn't use it against us.
"Desdemona, can you help out?" I whispered so no one could hear me.
Overtime, I adapted more and more to having her in my head. It took a while but she had finally become a part of me, and I'm not upset about it.
"I cannot hold items but I can push and kick." she said.
"Come out and help please." I said.
This is the first time she comes out to help. She explained it all to me; saying her coming out would be irritating, uncomfortable and painful to me. But I didn't care.
So she comes out from my forehead like it was my soul being snatched from me.
The killer started running towards us as the others got into 'battle positions'.
My eyes rolled to the back of my head, paralysed to the unbearable pain.
Until I was on the ground.

I woke up to Zayla and the twins in my face. I sat up so fast, I almost bashed heads with Zayla.
I looked around to realise I was behind the cars with them.
I looked over the red car we were hiding behind to see my friends and Layla fighting the not-so-innocent teddy bear. I could also see Desdemona pushing him, kicking him and hitting him. From what I knew, there was nothing he could do about her.
I look back to the girls. Luna gave me the screwdriver and hammer. Lucy, who was stood beside Luna, gave me a reassuring nod.
I nodded back at her, with a smile, grabbed the screwdriver and hammer from Luna's hands, and ran to help my friends fight this thing.
