Another double episode :D!


"Ashlyn, I'll help you up!" Aiden quickly said before kneeling so he could give her a boost, not even noticing he was using his bad leg. "Fuck...!" He cursed while clutching his ankle, making Ashlyn hesitate.
"Quick use your good leg!" Ashlyn exclaimed.
"Hold on...!" Aiden yelled back.
"What the-" Tyler's voice rang down the halls. The twins were midway up the stairs when they heard Ashlyn's scream.
CARLOS!
His exasperated voice made them jerk up. Taylor and Tyler looked down the stairs. Taylor gripped her axe tight. "I'll go check-"
"No, I'll go. You keep looking for the key!" He ordered, not even considering sending his sister out there. Taylor lowered her head in disappointment but reluctantly nodded.
"Fine. Be careful," She then eyed Tyler, "You better find him!"
"You know I will."
Taylor then jogged up the stairs and disappeared onto the second floor.
On the roof, the phantom took off Carlos's headlight and threw it aside. The boy's eyes fluttered open as he began to regain consciousness.
"Damn..." Carlos groaned before feeling his body get dragged up, he grabbed his collar and loosened it to stop himself from being choked, "Where are the others?! Ashlyn and Aiden?!"
He looked at the phantom that was still pulling on his shirt, almost ripping it off of him. 
Tyler ran out onto the porch where he saw Aiden helping Ashlyn get onto the roof.
"What are you doing?!" Tyler asked.
"Help me get her up there! Now!" Aiden shouted at him.
"Why-" Tyler questioned, but Aiden shot him a look of desperation, making him shut up and rush over to help him out. They both took one leg and used all of their force to push her up.
The phantom managed to grab Carlos and slammed him on the roof. His mouth opened as he felt his back and lungs burning from the impact, "I can't... breathe...!"
Tears started to form in his eyes, he felt himself on the verge of passing out again. His vision began to blur again as the world around him moved in a sickening way.
"Think... THINK YOU FUCKING SUB-HUMAN!!!" He thought, trying to kick the phantom off of him, which didn't work out at all. The phantom raised its claws, planning to scratch him. "Don't... please..."
Ashlyn finally got to the roof, and she froze when she saw the phantom pinning him down to the floor, he looked like he was gonna vomit. She felt a static in her leg that almost made her fall, but she stopped herself. "Let him go!" She yelled at it.
The phantom stopped and tilted its head to the side before it fell beside him. A single bullet smashes through the phantom's skull. Ashlyn stood there for a moment before she ran beside Carlos who was coughing a lot, holding his neck.
"Hey... Ashlyn..." He said weakly, trying to lighten the mood in a dark situation. He felt something smack across his face as his cheek stinged. He turned his head to look at her. "Ashlyn...?"
"Don't scare me like that you idiot! I thought I was gonna lose you just now..." Ashlyn hugged him, he felt guilty for making her worry like that.
"I... I know," He apologized while hugging her back, "I'm sorry..."
Through the walkie talkie, Logan's voice comes through in a panic. "The- The phantoms are heading back towards the graveyard, and there's only 17 bullets left now!"
"Me and Ben are in the first room to the right up the stairs," Taylor said. "We found the key."
"Ash, Carlos!" Aiden exclaimed once he got on top of the rooftop "Carlos, you're okay!"
Carlos irked his face at him, "So, getting my head slammed on the ceiling, lungs burning, head bleeding, and a high possibility I have an concussion is okay to you?!" He listed before he felt the phantom's body slid down, almost taking him with it because of the grip of its hand on him. "Fuck-"
"Carlos!" Ashlyn yelled while grabbing his foot. Aiden quickly used the pickaxe to stick it into the roof as he grabbed Ashlyn's foot.
"Woah!" He exclaimed before he looked toward their direction and saw the smiling.
"Don't worry, we got you..." Aiden smiled.
"... this time." Ashlyn finished for him.
"Carlos? Ashlyn?? Aiden???" Taylor questioned while looking, poking her head out the bedroom window, she got a bit startled to see the two holding Carlos close who was bleeding nonstop. "Woah?!"
"Hey, Tay..."
"...We need help."
Ben helped Taylor get the three inside the house. Carlos fell to his knees and coughed a bit, still dazed and bleeding. He got up but toppled over Ashlyn and he let out a grunt. She propped up an elbow and squeezed his arm.
"Hey... you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm okay." Carlos assured, "Just... need a second."
She looked at him, though he said he was fine, the fear in his eyes were evident. She frowned and immediately wrapped her arms around him, pulling him in for a tight embrace. Taylor quickly joined in too, sobbing in relief.
Tyler dragged Aiden in, patting him on the back.
Ashlyn broke away from the hug when Logan's voice suddenly came through the walkie talkie. "Guys, the phantoms are running in your direction!" He warned them, his voice filled with worry. "From what I can see, there's about 20 of them!"
Carlos mentally cursed and Tyler scoffed, "Lovely. We need to leave, immediately!"
Ashlyn helped Carlos up and noticed a limp in his stance. "Crap..."
"I-I can run..." He said, "Just not as fast as before... Take Ashlyn, her leg isn't good."
Tyler mumbled before he lifted Ashlyn. He gave Carlos a warning look before following the group toward the bedroom door. Carlos sighed and tagged behind, massaging his head.
