Max put her shoes back on, we went to the room Vecna was in, Max took her headphones off and stopped her music, while I kept mine playing faintly
"Hey. Asshole." Max yelled "I'm here. No more music. No more games. Do you hear me? What are you waiting for, huh? Come on! Do you want me or not?"
The light on the lantern fades, Max's lights up, we follow the light and it went to the attic, once we got to the centre of the attic the lantern stays bright, but after a few seconds the light dies down
"What are you waiting for, Asshole? Hmm? I'm right here. I'm right here!" Max yells again "I know you can hear me. I know you can read my thoughts. Even the worst ones. Maybe mostly the worst one."
Max sets the lantern down on the little table in front of her and takes her Walkman and headphone off her and put them on the other table, Max sits down I front of the lantern
"I thought about what you said to Rory." Max started "About how I wanted my brother to die. I thought you were just trying to upset me. To anger me. But you weren't, we're you? You were just telling the truth. Billy, he made mine and Rory's life living hell. Every chance he got. So, sometimes...I would lay in bed at night I would...I would pray...I would pray that something would happen to him. Something awful. I knew that he drove too fast, so I would imagine him crashing. Dying in that stupid car. I just...I wanted him out of my life...forever. I wanted him to disappear. The day that he died. I think that's why I just stood there. Watched. Not because I was scared or...weak. But because...I didn't know if he deserved to be saved. And I've tried to forgive myself. I've tried, but...I can't. I can't. So now...now, I lay in bed at night...I pray something will happen to me. That something terrible will happen to me. So that's why I'm here. Because...I just want to to take me away. And I want you...to make me disappear."
Then she went into a trance
"Max? Can you hear me?" Lucas said kneeling down next to her "Max! Max!"
Lucas stood up and flashed his flashlight to Erica, after a few minutes of Lucas flashing his flashlight again and Erica not flashing her back I looked at Max
"What the hell is taking so long?" I asked Lucas looking at Max
"No idea." Lucas answered as we heard floorboard creaking, we looked at what it was "Jason. You can't be here right now, man."
"The hell have you done?" Jason asked us
"Jason." I said "You need to leave."
"Is this what you did to Chrissy?" Jason asked going towards Max, kneeling down next to her
"Just listen, Jason." Lucas said
"Hey." Jason said to Max
"Jason. You need to go." I said
"Hi. Can...Can you hear me?" Jason said to Max
"Jason, don't touch her." Lucas said "We're not messing around. Jason. Please."
I stepped forwards quickly and Jason pulls out a gun, me and Lucas step back
"Back up. Back up." Jason yells "Not another step."
"Wa...Wait. We...we don't have to do this." Lucas stuttered "We don't have to do this."
"I hope your right." Jason spoke
"Wait." Lucas whispered
"Is there anyone else in this house?" Jason asked us
"No. No." I said
"Turn around. Sinclair." Jason said to Lucas
"What?" I questioned Jason "Why just him?"
"He's in Hellfire. Turn around, Sinclair!" Jason yelled
