"GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!" mike's voice rang out and not even a second later, the glass shattered and we all shrieked in fear. max quickly swept to the side for safety as billy poked his head through the gap.

"LET ME OUT YOU BITCH!" he roared, "LET ME OUT! I'LL FUCKING GUT YOU" billy then pulled the metal rod from the door, half-freeing him from his cage.

lucas then sprung into action and aimed his slingshot at billy before firing the ammo at him. billy groaned out in pain as he fell to the hard, sauna floor.

"max! come on!" lucas exclaimed, signalling max to retreat back to the safety of the group. she then quickly skidded back over to the group, who were all huddled together as the lights above us began to flicker and buzz. we spun our heads around in circles whilst inspecting the flashing ceiling lights. but then extremely loud roars came from the sauna room, so we redirected our attention to that.

billy let out a battle cry as he sprinted forward before smashing his body into the door, thankfully it didn't break. el held two protective arms out in front of the group. billy tried again at breaking the door down, failing again luckily.

"he can't get through, can he?" max trembled, her mind clouded with concerns and worries, just like everyone else's.

"well, I hope not.." I replied as my eyes were fixed on the sauna room door that had a high possibility of being smashed down.

billy continued to thump himself against the door with all of his might, it was obvious he wasn't giving up. until, he paused for a moment to let out the loudest scream so far, and then with one very forceful smash, he came hurtling out of the room like a wild bull.

"AHHHH! HOLY SHIT!" I shouted as everyone else gasped in shock and el ushered us back away from billy.

heavy breaths huffed in and out of his lungs as he made eye-contact with eleven. they both strongly stood, giving eachother the same stare. el then lifted her right arm and a large weight began to levitate before she thrusted it towards billy. he was sent flying backwards before thrashing into the brick wall with the weight pushing at his veined neck.

el grunted as she held her arm out before her, making the weight inch closer and closer to billy's neck as he tried to push it off. she then held out two arms and the weight cracked into the wall even further. billy struggled to breathe as his feet left the ground, eleven had him pinned. she screamed as she fought against billy's strength, he was slowly succeeding in pushing the weight off of him. until with one last burst of energy, he had managed to throw the weight away and back at el, thank god she ducked just in time.

but then billy raced forward and grabbed her by her hair, he pulled her head upwards as she gasped and shrieked for help. he looked me dead in the eye before abruptly cupping his hand around el's neck. she began to choke as his grip tightened, everyone in the room froze as he pulled eleven up into the air. she was dangling midair with her desperate hands clasped around billy's wrists, trying to bribe and scratch them off but it was helpless. her eyes began to roll to the back of her head as her face turned a deep red colour.

anger flared within me as I was forced to watch, I clenched my jaw and fists before stepping forward. I was blinded and controlled by pure and utter rage as I plunged my right arm out. billy was sent tumbling across the room after loosing his grip on el. I marched after his fallen body, he immediately got up off the floor but before he could even lay a finger on me, I began jerking my head from left-to-right, making billy fling from one side of the room to the other, like a powerball in a pinball machine. his tough but damaged body collided with the brick walls multiple times, leaving large dents as he yelled out in pain. and with each hit I spat a venomous word out at him, "don't. you. ever. fucking. dare. touch. my. girlfriend. AGAIN!" and then on the last word I slammed his body down to the ground with double the force.

his then already fallen body began to hover up again, an exhausted el had returned for her own revenge. she stalked around me before stopping in between billy and I. billy hissed as he was sent higher and higher, his skin turning an almost glowing-red. slobber and saliva dribbled from his mouth whilst consciousness started to leave his evil eyes. el and him both let out a shrill scream before el shot out her hands, along with billy, to one of the brick walls. the wall shattered and dust and bricks were sent flying everywhere as he thumped to the grass outside.

completely knackered and out of breath, el slipped down into my open arms where she sobbed and cried her poor, tired eyes out.

"it's okay, it's okay.." I eased as I gently wrapped my arms around her, "you did great.. well done.. you've done so unbelievably great, I-I'm so proud of you.." steaming-hot tears now rolled down my face and onto the top of el's shoulder, where I softly burrowed my chin.

everyone else was looking through the large gap in the brick wall. I carefully stood up and helped el along with me, before we both joined the others.

billy wailed out as he sprinted away into the dark, summer night. a chilling wave rushed through me as I watched. something told me this wasn't the last time we'd run into him.. this meant war, all over again.
