If I Was To Join Them

Chapter 16

Savana: I'm writing this, SO BACK THE FUCK UP LORINA.

Lorina: O.O okay... *backs away* STOP KICKING ME!

Savana: (FUN FACT I WAS ACTUALLY KICKING HER AND THEN SHE JUMPED ON THE SEAT.... TROLL)

I squint my eyes. We know what happened last time there was a person before me.

I hear the yell of Jake and a laugh that sounded oddly familiar. Then it goes silent.... The silence chills me to the bone. My blood going cold due to the fear.

"Katie." I hear a voice. "KATIE!" It screams. (And here is where I get it back... Damn it Savana!)

"J...Jeff...?"

"No, what the hell? It's us, Lyla, Grace and Jace," Jace says. The scene before me both surprises and confuses me. Lyla and Grace pin down Jake, Jake squirms beneath them, and Jace stares down at Jake. She's probably wondering what got into him.

"Guys...?" I start, but Jake gets free and starts to strangle Grace. Jace tackles him off of her, slapping him across the face.

"CALM THE FUCK DOWN, JAKE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! THIS ISN'T YOU! I just want my brother back..."

"Jace, shut the fuck up. You don't know me. You didn't even try to comfort me when I went through that depressive state after Katie left. Did you even notice? Huh?! DID YOU?!"

I growl. "Jake, listen to your sister. Calm down. Jace, listen to your brother. Shut up. Now, we're together. Let's be one big happy family. Grace, here, take this-" I hand her my knife "-and cut that things head off. Jake, you have no reason to want to kill. Neither did I. But life likes to fuck with us, making us do crazy things. Sometimes, we have to say 'What the fuck am I about to do?' and stop before someone gets hurt. Jake, we didn't have that self control. Hopefully, we do now."

They all stare at me, including Grace, who I told to chop that damn things head off. She looks to the knife. "But-"

"But nothing. Chop the damn things head off. It could hurt one of us-thats something I'm not willing to risk. Lyla, let Jake go. I think he's calmed down."

Lyla stands away from him, letting him get up. He stares at me. "Katie?"

"What." I say in a dull tone, watching Grace decapitate the thing. Once she's done, I look back at him.

"Don't tell me what to fucking do."

He runs at Grace and catches her off guard, taking the knife from her. He decapitates her, and I hear an ungodly sound emanate from somewhere. Jace freezes in horror, and Lyla screams.

"GRACE!!!!" Lyla yells, running at Jake. He chuckles and waits for her to get to him, then shoves the thing into her stomach. The sound emanates again, and I realize it's coming from me. Jace glares at him, running at him and grabbing the hand with the knife in it. They fight while I run over to Lyla and Grace.

"K...Katie..." Jace wheezes, holding her hand out to me. I grab her head and place it in my lap. "I have a final wish..."

"Anything, Lyla," I sob. She smiles and looks at the stars.

"Sing a song, not a depressing one, one that we would sing together before you moved..."

I sniffle, wiping my tears away and closing my eyes. "Get Scared?"
