Chapter 10

--= Mitch's + POV =--

What the fudge was that...... Hands holding tightly onto tufts of hair I hissed air out of my teeth as I rocked myself back and forth.

Dropping my hands so they enveloped my legs and chest, I took in a shaky breath. Oh my god somebody please be awake.

Vision blurred from sleepy eyes and dry tears I didn't dare move my arms, afraid something would pop out of the dark corner of the tent.

Heart hammering and skipping a beat every second I scanned the tent, making sure it was only Jerome laying down beside me I felt chills crawl

Down my spine as something dawned on me. Where's Lachlan.

"LACHLAN?!" I called out. Voice cracking from fear I pushed myself up and began to pace around the tent. Nerves shaking in my stomach

I scrunched my eyes shut as I dragged my hands down my face continuously. Jerome sleeping I noticed a grimace twisted on his sleeping face.

"LACHLAN?!" I hollered. Please answer me.

"ROB?!" I asked. Rob's petrified face flashing through my mind my eye twitched as the sound of a bone snapped.

Opening my mouth I let out a scream of pure terror. Whipping my hands onto my ears I sank onto my knees as wails rumbled out of my chest.

Tears pouring down my face Preston's face lingered in my mind. His cold, yellow eyes shooting the hairs on the back of my neck up I scrunched my eyes shut.

It was just a dream....Only a dream....It was....It wasn't just a dream. Oh my gosh, he killed everyone! PRESTON KILLED EVERYONE!

Hands clawing down my face, I noticed Jerome's face contorted in pain and fear. Jerome's hands clenched as his teeth were gritted my face dropped.

Is everyone having a dream tonight? Casting a glance around the room I locked my eyes on the door to see Lachlan shaking in the doorway.

"Please tell me you had that dream t-too...." Lachlan stuttered. Lachlan's eyes wide and drenched in terror I nodded slowly and he quickly dove to my side.

Wrapping himself around my arm I quickly engulfed him in a hug, holding Lachlan tightly he shook so badly my teeth chattered.

"Holy crap dude.....His-"

"Eyes?" I interrupted. Lachlan nodding hurriedly he burrowed his face into my chest, the shaking turn into sobs his body raked as he cried.

"Yeah...." Lachlan sniffled. Cradling Lachlan as I rocked him back and forth my hand caressed up and down his spine.

Lachlan's heart hammering through his chest I murmured a little as we discussed the dream some more.

"It just....It just happened so fast...I saw you standing next to him, I was so scared he killed you. But you looked happy for a split second, then your eyes closed and all I saw was Preston vanish......And a knife shooting through my stomach..."

Lachlan wincing as his hand immediately whipped onto his stomach, fearful the knife like object would shoot through his stomach again I cupped his hand in mine.

"He didn't have a knife..." I spoke up. Lachlan's slowly closing eyes shooting straight open you could see the thoughts racing through his head.

"What if that happens if we go inside of the Nether?" Lachlan wondered. The thought slapping me in the face brutally like a brick dropped off of the Eiffel Tower

I felt heat press behind my eyes. Shaking my head, Lachlan clinged onto my shirt like he was going to be sucked back into the Nether if he let go.


--= Rob's + POV =--

I can't breathe. I can't do anything. I can't move. Vision blurring in and out I felt a screech rip through my chest as Preston's hand sinked into Mitch's stomach.

Mitch letting out an inhumaine sound I scrunched my eyes shut as I heard a horrible tugging and squishing sound. Preston. What the hell happened.

"Look at the little souvenir babe! You like it?" Preston chirped. Stomach churning, I cracked one eye open only to see

Preston's hand stained and dripping crimson all the way up to his elbow he tossed around the pink heart that thudded and spluttered blood out of itself.

Preston gazing at the heart like it was a hunting trophy he grinned as he kneeled down so he was eye level with me.

"Bet you liked the other dream better?" Preston spoke. His tone amused all I could do was look at him, trying not to focus on the heart that continued wailing in his hand.

Mitch's carcass having a major hole in his chest I locked eye contact with Preston. The once sweet, bronze coloured eyes now a murderous yellow.

"It was less violent, yeah..." I trailed on. Preston's laugh shuddering through the hallways he pressed his blood oozing hand onto the side of my face.

The heated liquid sliding down my face he brushed his thumb across my jawline. If I don't make any sudden movements, he can't kill me.

"I'm not a T-Rex Rob." Preston grinned. Shoot....I said that one out loud. Furrowing my brow, I glanced up to see Preston unbending his knees.

Wings looming over him they slowly folded so they were draped like two capes attached to his shoulder blades.

"Let's take a walk babe." Preston ordered. Legs burning like fire, I sucked in a deep breath as my hands tried finding stable ground that wasn't drowning in hellish liquid.

Feet sliding to the bottom of my legs, I forced my knees with my hands to unbend. Preston stayed still, waiting for me to go to his side I limped towards Preston who was staring down the hallway.

".....Why did you do this?" I asked. Heart hammering as Preston continued to stand still, glancing around, I saw a tint of sadness lingering in the merciless yellow eyes.

He didn't say anything, but the expression he casted me said it all. Lips pursed, I asked another question, hobbling as I moved slowly with Preston down the hallway.

"Why did I dream of you last night and you were nice and depressing and sweet and NOW! This night is flipping Attack on Titan style!?" I yelled.

Arms whipping to the sides of me Preston shot a look at me, a large grin on his face he whispered the word 'Mikasa' before he explained it to me.

"There's more than just one scenario. These are all options. Be thankful I didn't kill you yet, I'm cheating the game a little bit. I won't be in too much trouble though."

Preston shrugged, tossing the cheat away as if it wasn't a bad thing to disobey the realm of hell I nodded slightly.

"........Why did you kill everyone in this one?"

Stopping in his tracks Preston had a look of hurt writhing around on his face. Leaning against the wall for support, Preston stared at me as I took a breather, still trying to catch my breath.

"This is five years later Rob. Would you not go mad here for five years waiting for your friends that never came?" Preston wondered.

This is five years into the future?......It doesn't look very pleasant looking. Grimacing at the thought, another one popped into my mind that caused me to pause.

Silence swirling between the two of us my expression softened the longer I looked at Preston who was staring down the hallway again, seeing something I probably couldn't.

"You held onto us for five years?...." I asked. Preston coiling once I said that he sent me a funny look. What did I say? Preston taking a step towards me, now in front of my face because the corridor

was so narrow his lips were centimetres away from mine. Preston's face deathly pale from lack of sunlight the bags under his eyes made him look murderous and serial.

".....I held onto you for five years." The glare softening into an expression of shattered hope I could hear my heart cracking, almost as if I was the one whose heart was ripped out. Not Mitch.

"Look. I know you don't like this ending. But I need to know. Do you want to rescue me or do I escape? I need to know because I have a chance and I'm taking it if you don't want to come into the Nether."

'Stop cheating the game.'

A voice hissed. Preston's eyes narrowing he looked me in the eye. A grin beaming on his cold lips, he mouthed the word I love you before closing his eyes, and then they were pure yellow.

Oh god please no.

"DON'T WANT TO SAVE ME? YOU NEVER CARED! YOU NEVER EVEN STEPPED IN THIS HELL HOLE I LIVED IN FOR FIVE YEARS BECAUSE YOU WERE SCARED!

DID LACHLAN TELL YOU? DID JEROME TELL YOU? DID ANYONE TELL YOU WHERE TO LOOK? ITS LACHLAN'S FAULT ISN'T IT?

MAYBE YOU CAN ASK HIM WHEN YOU ROT IN YOUR GRAVE ROB." Preston's mouth foaming with white as blood trickled down his eyes like tears I watched him rush by.

Eyes popping as the collar of my shirt choked me I gasped for air as the sudden movement slammed me down into the blood stained ground.

Shirt soaking up the blood of my enemies and my friends Preston looked me in the eye, a single, actual tear falling down his face he scrunched his eyes shut.

"Please, don't forget me Babe..." Preston whispered. Out stretching his black, fiery wings his tail rose above his head aiming at me like a harpoon.

Tears continuously pouring down his face, he slashed down, a scream ripping out of his chest as everything stuttered black.

Eyes popping open I let out a scream to see Vikk shaking me back and forth, panic and concern written all across his expression I let out a depressing moan as my head slumped into my hands.
