Chapter 44

"Dream!" Chloe shrieked, suddenly realizing what was going on.

"What the freak?" Sawyer muttered curses under his breath. "Francesca--just when we were beginning to trust--" he stopped. "You're not Francesca."

"The heck I'm not," Fatima said. "I managed to fool you guys for just enough time, didn't I? Soon, Dream will die, and one by one, anything that stands in my way will be demolished."

Upon hearing the words "Dream will die", Sawyer opened the car door, and leaped out to save his friend.

"Your loss," Fatima sneered, as she tried to continue driving, stopping when she realized the car wouldn't budge.

Yes, they were no longer on the frozen lake. Instead, they were right next to it, and the snow beside it was now trapping the car.

"Ugh. No. Stop!" Fatima said, pushing the gearshift. It wouldn't budge. "ARGH!" she screamed, pushing it as hard as she could, doing nothing except removing the gearshift from the car.

"She's not conscious," Sawyer said, opening the car door, his voice sounding panicked as he dragged Dream into the car.

"Oh my gosh," Savannah said, "Please let her not be dead. Don't be dead, don't be dead," she muttered under her breath. "Oh, you are so going to jail if anything happens to Dream," she snarled at Fatima. "I can't believe I ever thought you were the sweet, kind, sister. No. You're the wicked, evil, narcissistic psychopath. We were all wrong about you. You're two-faced. Whereas Francesca tried to save the people Mrs. Woods was kidnapping and killing, you are defending this psychopathic behavior. I swear by my own dead body that I will murder you myself if anything happens to Dream."

"Calm down," Sawyer said. "Chloe is doing CPR on her, she's probably going to be okay."

"She's not going to be okay," Chloe cried. "I've done everything I know how to do, except for mouth to mouth because, ew she's my best friend but she's going to dieee," Chloe wailed.

"Somebody give her mouth to mouth," Savannah snapped, climbing into the passenger seat since the back seats were too crowded.

Everyone looked around awkwardly.

"Um, who?"

"Anyone I don't care, do you want Dream to die? Just do it!" Savannah paused. "Wait Zac, don't do it," she said quickly, noticing Zac leaning forward.

Sawyer and Axel snorted. "You're hopeless, you know that?" Sawyer said.

Savannah glared at them.

Suddenly, Dream coughed, sputtering. Her eyes were still closed, but she rolled over, moaning slightly.

"Dream!" Chloe slapped her best friend in the face. "Wake up!"

"Mmmmph," Dream said, her eyes fluttering over. "Wha--"

"Fatima tried to kill you," Savannah said. "So you almost drowned, then Sawyer rescued you and Chloe did CPR, and here you are. Would you like to press charges against your attempted murderer, Fatima Woods?"

"My last name isn't Woods," Fatima hissed.

"It might as well be, you're a carbon copy of her," Savannah snapped back.

"Don't you dare," Fatima warned dangerously. "She might be my mother but I'm nothing like her."

"Oh, yeah? You just tried to kill Dream. Would a normal person do that?"

Everyone in the group flinched awkwardly. While Savannah had a point, arguing wasn't exactly a good idea...

"Yeah, maybe," Fatima shot back. "If the person was trying to put their mother in jail."

"If you tried to put my mother in jail, I'd provide evidence to prove you were lying. I wouldn't kill you. Oh wait, but you don't have any evidence because your mother is a monstrous psycho. So you can only resort to murdering. My bad!"

"How dare you?" Fatima lunged. "No one talks badly about my mom!"

"If you love her so much, why'd you even change your last name?" Savannah taunted, ducking out of the way. There was barely any space in the car, and with Savannah and Fatima's cat fight...

"Mind your own business! You know nothing!" Fatima cried.

"Maybe, but I do know that you tried to kill my friend! And even my brother!" Savannah said, fighting back when Fatima attacked her.

"Um," Dream said. The car was beginning to tip, or maybe she was just dizzy from her near-drowning experience.

"Don't. Interrupt," Savannah said. "I'm ending this once and for all," she lunged and scratched Fatima's arm.

"Sure, you'll kill her by scratching her," Dream muttered.

"Stop! The car is tipping!" Chloe screamed, jumping out of the car. Oh, so it wasn't just Dream being dizzy. Sawyer, and Axel followed her, while Zac hopped out the other side, followed by Dream.

"Savannah!" Zac said, opening the passenger door. Savannah got out just in time as the car tipped over, falling onto the thin sheet of ice covering the lake. The ice cracked from the weight of the car, and the car sank.

"What the heck?!" Dream shouted. "We need to save Fatima!"

"What do you mean?" Savannah said, whipping around to face Dream. "That girl just tried to kill you. Why would you save her?"

"Maybe because she's a human being whose life still matters, no matter what she did?"

"She's a murderer. She could rot in hell for all I care," Savannah said.

"Dream has a point," Sawyer interjected. "You called Fatima a wicked, evil, narcissistic psychopath. If you don't save her, you stoop down to her level."

"I'm going to go in," Dream said.

"Me too, I'll help you," Sawyer said, following her.

"Aww," Chloe said. "I ship."

"Oh, shut up," Savannah said, still angry at Dream and Sawyer for trying to save Fatima.

As they watched, Dream opened the driver's side of the car door, and with Sawyer's help, dragged Fatima's limp, unconscious body out of the car.

"Here," Dream said, grunting with effort as they lugged Fatima's body over to where the group was standing. "Chloe, give her CPR. Like what you did to me."

"No! She tried to kill my best friend! Over my dead body," Chloe grumbled.

"Chloe," Dream said, a warning tone in her voice.

"Fine," Chloe grumbled. "But only because you're my best friend and you almost died. Oh, yeah, remember, the girl I'm saving right now is the one who tried to kill you."

"Just hurry up already," Dream snapped.

Chloe complied, but not before huffing in annoyance.

A/N

Okay, so did anyone actually think I was going to kill Dream? I hope not XD. I mean, *technically* the story could still go on without Dream, but like.......yeah, I'm not doing that lol (I'm too much of a chicken, also I'd be sad XD).

Now, for a quick Q&A because why not:

1. Now that a lot of things have changed, who is your favorite character now?

2. Who do you ship Dream with now ;)

3. What do you think is going to happen when Fatima wakes up?

Thanks so much for reading!! Please vote, comment, and share :D

Next update: Friday
