Shane Madej

Ryan Bergara: Shut your mouth you little bitch or else youre next :))

Shane stared at his phone for a while, not knowing how to feel. After Ryan told him he was possessed, after Shane had to leave work early due to a 'shooting' at the office, after his whole life got flipped upside down, Shane didn't feel like himself anymore. He knew Ryan-er-the thing was all behind everything that happened to him in the past month but the shooting at the office didn't seem like such a good excuse for why everyone disappeared.

Around the time Shane left for the office, it seemed as if the sun wasn't even there. The whole sky was dark, no sight of light anywhere. And just his luck, a harsh breeze kicked up, then pounding rain. A storm has just arrived and to Shane, it was perfect timing.

Shane has tried everything to save Ryan but nothing worked. He tried to spray holy water on Ryan. Nope, still possessed. Shane tried to give an exorcism. Nope, just made the thing more mad. But Shane wouldn't give up. Not at all. He had to do something. 

After constantly making a list of possible things he could do and narrowing down the choices, he was left to kill Ryan. To kill Ryan. Shane hasn't ever murdered someone and never wanted to! But, he had to in order to free Ryan from this monster of a thing and to free Shane from being the main target when the thing was in control of Ryan.

Shane made it to work before the hail started to fall but as he reached to front entrance, he ran into yellow police tape and there stood a SWAT officer. Shane looked up at them with fear in his eyes.

"Didn't you hear?" The officer asked Shane, holding their gun in their hands and standing guard.

"N-No, I was just coming to work like I do every day," Shane replied, trembling with fear.

"Well, gunshots were heard and once we arrived, dead bodies everywhere. No sign of life in the building. The shooter even hid the gun from sight and must've shot themselves. This place is closed, you should go home now."

No sign of life? But Ryan had told Shane he was heading to work today. Does that mean... Ryan is dead too? But.. Ryan can't be.. 

Everything started to spin around Shane. He turned around and ran home, getting soaked by rain. 

Shane stumbled through his front door and quickly ran to his room. He felt light headed and suddenly feel onto the floor, getting drowned in darkness.

Shane looked around. He wasn't in his room. Instead, he saw darkness everywhere. He reached his arm out, feeling around. Shane yelled only to get an echo as a reply. A shiver went down his spine as a rush of sorrow filled his body. Without thinking, Shane got down on his knees and hugged himself, crying quietly to himself. 

Shane had lost everything. He lost his job. He lost Ryan. And he lost himself. His eyes kept on releasing tears, sending a waterfall of his sorrow down his cheeks and onto his hands. He whimpered and sniffed between each sob.

The darkness was still around him and everything was the same except a voice. Shane studied this new voice and listened closely to it, his tears slowing to a stop. 

"..Shane~! Wake up~!"

He listened to the command and opened his eyes, waking up. There stood Ryan but it didn't look like Ryan. Shane studied Ryan's face: expressionless eyes, pale skin that almost looked like a piece of paper, his dark hair was ruffled and messy as if he just woke up, and a splatter of blood under Ryan's right eye.

"Good afternoon, Shane~! How ya doing, pal~?"

"...G-Good..?" Shane stuttered. He sat up and wiped his eyes to see if he was dreaming. Nope. Shane was awake. "..What are you doing in my room? H-How did you get in?.."

"Oh, that's nothing for you to know~~!"

A/N Yes I know this chapter is shorter than normal ones but I need it to be just for the ending of the story. Yes, I'll work on the 11th chapter possibly today or sometime else this week. My apologies but I'll give you all an ending you've all been waiting for!! -- Juniper
