Kieran didn't answer. His eyes moved away from Emma's and he stared at the wall behind her.

Emma gasped. "Oh my God... Oh my God, it's you."
Amy yanked at the chains again. "SEE!" She yelled. "WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN?!"

Kieran looked over at Eli, before looking at Amy.
"No... no, Kieran..." Emma stammered, as Audrey stood up and Emma took a few more steps towards him.

Kieran shut his eyes and hung his head.
"Tell me that I'm wrong."
Kieran breathed heavily before lifting his head and laughing.

"You're not wrong." He breathed out.

Suddenly, Eli jumped up and launched himself at Kieran. He held out his knife but before he could reach him, Kieran held up the gun and shot him three times.

Amy screamed as he stumbled into the wall and slowly slid down it, leaving a trail of blood.

Emma clasped her hands over her mouth and took a few steps backwards.

Audrey watched in horror as Amy continued to cry out.

"You know..." Kieran turned to Amy. "He really liked you." He evilly grinned.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Amy screamed, trying to break herself free.

Kieran chuckled. "You're not gonna get very far, since I have the key."

"You're a monster." Emma cried.
"And the best part is... you just told me you love me." He chuckled, pointing the knife at Emma.

Audrey tried to free herself, clanging the chains preventing her to do so. Kieran held the gun up at Audrey.

"I did. Not now."
"Oh, okay." He chuckled, walking over to Audrey and Amy, who were trying to free themselves.

Kieran held the gun up at Amy's forehead. "I suppose you'd rather die now that the love of your life is dead?" He mocked.

Amy growled and tried to yank the chains off her.

"Tell me, so you and Piper, you're what?"
"Oh, we were together before you and I even met! All it took... was your mother throwing Piper out like trash and dad dumping me in Atlanta so he could party on pain pills."

"It made me and Piper sick to see them together!" Kieran finished.
"Okay! Okay, so all of this - for you - all of this is all about some messed up daddy issues? Really?!" Audrey scoffed.

"You're right. I should've definitely seen someone about that." Kieran replied.
Audrey gave him a fake and sarcastic smile.

"But Piper showed me that killing rope is way more fun than therapy!" Kieran yelled, pointing the knife in Eli's direction.

"So... I made the Sheriff and the medical examiner look like idiots! We tortured them with a killing spree they could not stop! And the last kills were gonna be my dad, and then you, and then your mother." Kieran told Emma.

"You were Piper's last surprise." Emma stated.
"Surprise!" Kieran grinned. "Your boyfriend is banging your crazy half-sister and we're both about to kill you!" He laughed.

"But then Audrey showed up with a gun!" Amy shouted.
"Yes." Kieran hissed, pointing the gun at Audrey. "And you killed my Piper."

"Yes." Audrey growled.
Kieran then turned to Amy. He came up to her, leaving their faces only inches apart. "So I decided to kill your Eli."

"Why?" Amy muttered through gritted teeth.
"Why did you kill him? To hurt me?!"
"Ding, ding, ding!" Kieran laughed.
"WHY? Why to hurt me?! I did nothing! Neither did Eli!" Amy raised her voice.

"Amy, all Eli did to earn his death was exist. You, on the other hand..." Kieran madly chuckled. "I would always overhear Eli talking to Tina about how much he loved you, and you clearly loved him just as much. I just couldn't wait to see the look on your face!"

"You're sick!" Audrey shouted.
"Oh, believe me, I know." He grinned, stepping away from Amy.

"But now, it's gonna look like you lured me here as the last victim. Except, I turned the tables and killed you all! And I'd tell them that it turned out that Amy was in on it too! The day when you weren't answering your phone, was because you and Eli were sneaking around committing murders!" Kieran told Amy.

"Then I would've stopped the rampage! I'll be the new hero!" Kieran finished.
"No one is gonna believe you, you psychopath!" Emma scowled.

"Oh, but you did! All of your friends believed me this whole entire time!" Kieran laughed. He turned to Amy and smirked. "Apart from you, of course."

Kieran then turned back to Emma, who was pressed against the bunk bed behind her.

"Anyways, that'll be for me to worry about. You'll all be dead-" Kieran held out the knife and started to charge at Emma.

"I don't think so!" Audrey yelled, kicking the chair and knocking Kieran over.

"Run, Emma! Get out of here! Go!" Audrey screamed.
Kieran grunted and got up. He held the knife out in front of Audrey.

"Hey! If you let me away, all of this will have been for nothing!" Emma shouted, before running out of the room.

"No!" Audrey yelled, getting Kieran's attention. He ran back to Audrey and pulled out the keys from his pocket. Kieran undid the chains around the radiator. He held onto them as the chains around Audrey's wrists still wrapped themselves around hers.

He dragged Audrey towards Amy, as if she was some sort of toy.
"You're gonna stay here, Amy." He laughed. "You're gonna stay right here! In the same room as your rotting boyfriend!"

With that, Kieran left Amy and Eli alone in the room. "We'll come back for you!" Amy heard Audrey yell.

***

The smell of rotting flesh filled Amy's nose as the tears poured down her cheeks, blurring her vision of Eli's lifeless body.

"ELI!" She screamed. "WAKE UP, PLEASE!" She pleaded.
Amy knew it was no use. He was dead.

She cried and hiccuped as the tears continued to flow.

The one person she really loved and trusted, the one person she felt safe around, the one person she could truly be herself around... was dead.

She couldn't get the image of him stood in front of Kieran and Emma, pleading for his life, with tears in his eyes.

"Maybe Kieran was right..." She sniffed, staring at Eli's lifeless body. "perhaps it would be better if I was dead. You were the only thing that mattered to me. None of my friends trusted you, so I could barely trust them."

She took a shaky breath. "I love you so much."
Amy shook her head and laughed. "What am I doing? I'm talking to no one. Please prove me wrong, Eli." She raised her voice. "PROVE ME WRONG! WAKE UP, ELI, WAKE UP! PLEASE!"

The door then suddenly swung open, revealing Sheriff Acosta and three other policemen.

Dwayne took out the keys Kieran had and ran over to her.
"It's okay, Amy. You're safe now. We have Kieran." Sheriff Acosta told her as Dwayne freed her.

Amy ignored him and ran up to Eli. She placed her shaky hands on his stomach, pulled quickly pulled them away when she got his blood on them. It didn't take long for her hands to be covered in his blood, since there were so many wounds.

She stared at her wrists, that were bruised from the chains, then up to her hands that were coated in her boyfriend's blood.

She felt someone wrap their arms around Amy's waist and pull her up.
"NO!" She screamed, trying to scramble out of their grip.

It was the Sheriff who started to drag her away from Eli. He had a strong grip, so Amy was unable to shake herself free.

"Isn't someone gonna check if he's alive?!" Amy yelled.
Sheriff Acosta sighed. "I'm sorry, Amy, but it's most likely that he's dead. But just in case, we'll check."

"Dwayne. Tom." Sheriff Acosta nodded his head in Eli's direction and they obeyed.

Amy kept her eyes on Eli and the policemen who were approaching him, until he was out of sight.
