Part - 2

•••••••••••••••

Suddenly everything went so quiet that I can even hear the sound of wind blowing outside of this house.

I check the time again. Only thirty minutes left. Though it won't take much to reach her, I know very well to be so confident about it.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I take out my hand towards Kiara to stop her but she already opened the door and enters the room.

I walk-run towards her with a feeling to protect her from any kind of harm. It's already been too much on her, and on me as well.

As I open the room and enter a few steps inside, darkness greets me which intensifies as the door behind me closed with a loud thump and I hear two shrieks. One was mine and one was Kiara's.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Looking everywhere around me, I start to walk inside the house to the same room where the disaster happened. I opened the first door in left just like that night and go straight towards the left among the two doors on the opposite side of this door.

I reached half the distance of the room when one of the furniture comes at me floating in the air.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I hurriedly search for my phone in my pocket, one reason because of the blinding darkness and second because I purposely made Kiara left her phone in her room as my group told me to.

When I find my phone, I take it out with so much power that it slips from my hand and falls on the floor.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

"Amelia? Is that you?" Comes Kiara's frightful voice.

"Yeah, it's me. Where're you?  Keep making some noises so that I can find you...... Aaah"

"It's me. I found you first" she says giggling at my response to her touch.

I heave a sigh and held her hand tightly. If something's bad is going to happen to her, and if I can't save her, then I'll happily bear with her whatever comes in her way.

"I have to find my phone firs...." I stop my mouth as I hear the sound of footsteps echoing in the room.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I ducked down as fast as I can but still, a part of it hits my head and I fall on my left side, hitting my head on the floor as well.

"Amelia you're more strong than that. You have to do this. You have to stop this." I try to make myself calm and stand up rubbing my hurt head, when I feel liquid running down from my head.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Moving my head violently around me, I look for something with which I can stop the blood when my attention goes to the scarf hanging from my neck. I take it out with one swift move and knot it after wrapping my head, making sure that it covers the wounded area.

Noticing the can, lying on the floor near my previous standing position, I walk towards it, but before I can reach and hold it, I notice a silhouette from the corner of my eye.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The sound of footsteps feels much more near us with every following footstep, whoever is taking. I begin to move backward taking her with me but suddenly her hand jerk off from me as she fell backward.

"Kiara! Kiara!" I shout her name in hope to find her but get no response in reply. So I move towards the direction by trusting my mind, from where the sound of her body came, but something touched my right foot and slides slightly further by the push it got. I bent down looking for the thing and find it a few steps away.

Feeling the thing with my hand, I get to know that it's a phone. Knowing that I shuffle it to find the power button, and when I switched it on, it turns out mine.

I turn on the flashlight and move it towards the direction I was going to but I stop when
.
.
.
.
.
I see her body
.
.
.
.
.
.
Covered in blood
.
.
.
.
.
And beside her was standing
.
.
.
.
.
.
A shocked Thea.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Gulping through a dry mouth, I slowly turn towards the shadow I saw, while concentrating on the ground.

As I move my eyes upwards, I almost got a heart attack from the scene in front of me.

There, stands Kiara, with hollowness in place of her eyes. But the direction of her face suggests that she's looking at me. And when I notice what she has in her hand, my blood run cold.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Thea! What did you do?" I shout as I run towards Kiara's body. With that, the room suddenly fills with bright light and I throw my phone away so that I could hold her head properly in my hands and put on my lap. After feeling her faint pulse under my finger I let out a relieved sigh.

"Thea tell me what did you do?" I ask her again but to no avail as she stands there like a statue, but with a shock expression.

Everyone other than us comes towards us and Asher shook Thea's shoulder to get a reaction from her. But she still continues to be the same.

Then Aaron comes forward and snatches the log of wood she's holding that I just noticed by his actions, and throw it away. The sound of log falling on the ground wakes her up from her shock state and she starts screaming.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Kiara holds the same log in her hand like that night. Even if I had any kind of doubt about her intentions, now that all go away that she wants to kill me as well.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Daniel, the only one who's detached from all the drama, holds Thea and hugs her. With a comforting embrace, her voice starts to slow down.

"Everybody! Let's get the hell out of here. Fast!" Daniel shouts.

All of them start nodding their head in agreement and Aaron pulls me to stand and leave Kiara's body, but I jerk his hand away.

Now it's my turn to be the shock one. I look up to him with questioning eyes.

"Are you fucking serious?" I screamed the words out. "After doing all this to her how can you say that? We should get her to the hospital. She's still alive for god sake!" I try to push some sense into their minds.

"Try to understand Amelia. We can't take her to the hospital even if we want to. If she dies, then cops will be after us, and we'll all be in prison!". Kayden puts his point.

"What if she lives?"  I ask crying.

"Then also we'll be in prison. Because then cops will have a victim against us. We have to leave her here and get out." He argues again.

"No I won't, I'll take her to the hospital by myself. You don't have to worry I'll take the blame on me. You all can go but I can't do this to her." And with that, I stand up and try to pull her body so that I could drag her all the way out of this house.

I just took five steps, when a sharp pain runs from my neck and everything blacks out in front of my eyes.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Don't worry Amelia, I'm not gonna kill you. After all, you're the only one who wants to save me after causing all of this." She says pacing left and right in front of me. "You know very well whom I'm gonna take with me. Don't you?" She laughs in a mock manner.

"No! Do whatever you want with me. Don't dare to touch my sister." I growl.

"Honey. You really think that you are in a position to talk to me like that?" She faces me. "I can do whatever I want, and for my last revenge, I am taking your baby sister with me." She whispers the last part and moves to her left to a cloth covered furniture. As she raises her hands up, the cloth also goes up, revealing an unconscious Tessa. My Sister.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I wake up to the sound of Tessa yelling at someone. Opening my eyes slowly I see her face filled with hate and anger which for a moment leaves me confused until I see the face of the person she's yelling at.

"How dare you inject my sister?" The rest of her words blurs out when I hear those words. Daniel injects me? That injection was meant for Kiara and he used that on me?

I get up from my bed and face Daniel.

"Oh! Thank god you're awake. Now I can go." He says while forwarding his right hand towards my left shoulder.

I hold his hand and jerk it away. "Don't touch me you sick. Where's she?" I ask with a demanding voice.

"Don't worry about her no one will find her." He says with a smirk.

Anger filled through me and before I know I slapped him and run out from the room to find her.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

For the whole six months, I tried to find her. Be it that same house, all the hospitals in our town, her home. I searched her everywhere until, after six months I got Thea to my side and she made Daniel blurted out that he hide her body in the same house, in the same room. I wanted to go to her again but

"Amelia, try to understand. She's long dead. And god knows if decomposers have left anything of her body. There's nothing you can do now. It's too late." Tessa tried to make me understand and I gave up.

After that living with guilt, sadness and anger for whole one year, my life started to change when I found out that Daniel was killed mysteriously and his body was found near the house.

After him, Thea went, by a huge blow on her forehead by a wooden log.

It wasn't so hard to guess that Kiara was back and she's taking revenge from us.

When the whole group was dead, I believed that the next one was me. And I was ready for my fate until I got her message about coming after my sister to make my lie true through a  creepy lady who talks with spirits.

That shattered me and I was so lost until the same person suggested me that I should burn that place down to end all of this. And before the clock clicks 12 AM.

So here I am, with a can two steps away from me, at 11:45 PM as I last checked, looking at my sister with a shock.

"Don't drag her into this. I was the one who tricked you. Leave her." I pleaded for the last time.

"You really think I'll listen to you? Do you?" She mocks me again.

Suddenly there's a knock on the front door and we both look towards the door. Kiara flies towards it and I run to my sister thankful for the interruption.

"Tessa! Tessa wake up." I start untying her and much for my relief she gains her consciousness.

"Run out from the window, I'm coming." I kiss her forehead and see her for the last time before I pushed her out from the window and she runs away.

I take the can up, but someone pushes from behind and I fall with the can. I turn and see an angry Kiara, with a pointed piece of glass in her hand.

"Guess I have to kill you instead." She starts coming towards me and me without wasting any more time, empty the can on me and took out the matchbox.

She halts on her way and as understanding makes its way to her. Her expression changes from anger to horror.

I make a run towards that room and immediately found her body covered with same cloth as the furniture here and was only one step away from it, but she pushed the glass on my back making me fall on her body.

Despite all kind of pains coming from my whole body, I lit the match and touch it with my body while hugging her dead body close.

I see her spirit fading away while the whole house is filled with so many cries of pain, in a few seconds before my body gave it to pain.

Tessa's POV:

It's been four months from the day my sister died for me and I am still not able to forgive her for leaving me alone. Which I make clear to her every day in front of her grave, even if I turned into a crying mess while doing that.

I don't know how much time will it take to accept me what is written on her gravestone:

"Life Goes On."

So that's the ending. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think about this one?
