The End

Chapter 2

Angela-

Ugh Mckenzie so lucky. I watched her run off with Anthony and Junior while holding R.J. I had deep feelings for Anthony and Junior since I first met them. Once upon a time Junior was mine but I made a mistake of getting with Anthony in secret while I was with him. Since than he put me in the family never date again category. Anthony on the other hand I've dated him on and off more times than I can count. I was hoping to get the chance to be with him again this year. But considering I am locked in a classroom and he ran off with Ms. Perfect I doubt it.

I lay down and try to tune out the sounds of the sick in the hallway. There wasn't anymore screams and most of the sick left when other people ran out of the school instead of hiding in it. I heard a few banging on a door away from the classroom I was in.

I was curious who they was trying to get to. I was definitely tempted to go look. Maybe it was a cutie that would fall madly in love with me. I smile as I imagine saving an incredible looking jock and he kisses me as a reward for being his hero. I drift off to sleep imagine the cutie waiting to be saved.

Mckenzie-

R.J snarls seep into my soul making me shake. We all have been silent hoping he would quiet down. We still haven't figured out if we're gonna kill him or not and I'm not ready to find out the answer.

I look at Junior he quit crying but he looks broken and angry. I've been sitting next to him since R.J passing. I don't want to leave his side while he like this, it breaks my heart.

"I'm tired of this. What are we going to do about that thing." Anthony whispers to us after pacing for about an hour.

"HE is not a thing." Junior says slowly lifting his head to look at Anthony.

"Well HE is not R.J either." Anthony says in frustration. Since running up the basement stairs he seemed off.

"And why is that Tony?" Junior asked.

"Because I saw his eyes. I saw his expression. None of that looked like him. plus the teacher said not to trust them."

"What teacher?" I asked.

"Ms. Jones." Anthony says flatly.

"It doesn't matter what she says. That my family your talking about, and for all I know the only one I have left." He stands up and gets close to anthony. "I just need to talk to him while he doesn't have a way to harm me."

"Than we tie him up. But if he gets loose and kills someone. It'll be you fault Junior." Anthony says glaring at him.

Junior nods and they both look to me for my answer. "It's better to know for sure that R.J is fully gone before we end him." With that it was time to get everything set up to get R.J.

Jace-

I killed her. My mom was sick. She was trying to eat me. It was either me or her I had to. Being locked in a classroom with my mom body was driving me insane. Let alone those things were banging on the door causing me to have a major headache. I had put my hoodie over my mom face as respect but the way she had looked was engraved to my brain. I close my eyes and imagine her smile. It was so beautiful and I regret not telling her enough.

I decided to wait here for a few more hours so the last of those things will move on.

A tear fall down my face. Am I the only one left alive? I didn't hang out with people before. I preferred time to myself. But to not have the option to talk to a living person was gonna really get to me. I would at least like to have one friend alive.

My head shoots up when I hear banging down the hallway. those things start to leave my door and I'm curious. Who the one trying to save my life?

Anthony-

We stand right in front of the basement stiff but ready. We had all talked and decided mckenzie would open and hide behind the door so she didn't get hurt. Junior and I would get ready for R.J to attack us.

"Are you guys ready?" Mckenzie asked looking at me than Junior.

"Ya remember we don't hurt R.J." Junior says sending me a threatening look my way.

"no promises." I say. I know it's not R.J. I made eye contact that thing. The boy I saw in the hallway. That would smile and wave at me was gone. Worst part was my 2 friends wouldn't believe me. Like do they believe I would just murder R.J?

Mckenzie waits for Junior and I to get in position. "1...." she says. Hear it goes. "2...." she says. I hear R.J banging and snarling. "3!" She throws the door open and hides. R.J comes barreling towards me and I grab his arms. He tries to bite my hands but I pull my hands, which is holding his arms, away from his mouth. Junior grabs his arms from me and puts R.J hands behind his back.

R.J starts to turn away from me to get Junior. So I snap my fingers and whistle. He looks at me and I hold back the urge to run. I start walking to the living room whistling at I go. he follows me as Junior holds him so he can't attack.

When we get to the living room we place him in a wooden chair we got from the kitchen. After we bound his hands and his neck so he can't reach out and bite us.

"Alright Mckenzie you can come out." I say. She emerges from behind the door and slowly walks up to us.

"I see what you mean when you say he not the same R.J." her bottom lip quivers and she bites it to stop.

Junior goes up and wraps his arm around her. "It has to be him. It just has to be."

I looked down at R.J snarling and desperately trying to break free his neck all while snapping at us. This isn't him. His smile doesn't exist anymore. A tear escapes and I wipe it away.

"Are you gonna start or do you want to continue having your moment with Kenzie first?" I say irritated at him. looking at R.J hurts so much and I don't get why we can't just put him out of his misery.

Junior glares at me "It's not a moment a*shole. Can't you see how she hurting?" I look over at Mckenzie. She still hasn't stopped looking at R.J. They weren't ever really close, but this hurt to see him like this.

"I'm sorry it just hurts me too. He was family to me. He deserved better." I sigh and look back at R.J. He was very skinny, he was in special Ed class but he was popular. Nobody could hate him he was to sweet . Seeing where his life got him was painful.

Junior removes his arm from Mckenzie and gets on one knee in front of R.J. "Hey this isn't the way to act. Would rocky act like that?" I looked at R.J. There was no change, he was still trying to attack.

"This reminds me of when you would bite me because you pretended to be a vampire." Still nothing Changed and Junior was getting irritated.

"R.J, it's me your cousin. Your brother. Don't you remember me?" Junior pleads. R.J continue the same thing and I walk off. I don't know how those two can handle seeing him like that but I can't.

Angela-

I recognize them; Landon, Ms. Jones, and Madison. they come chasing after me and I take off. I take a turn right and head straight to the gym. I go to the girls locker room to and hide in the stall. They come barging in and I hold my breath. 1....2....3 the alarm in the very back goes off. They head off to it snarling and crazed. I sneak out and lock the girls door so they can't get out.

I head back to the class to see who I saved. When I approach I instantly feel my cheeks go red. Standing there staring at me was none other than Jace himself. He was definitely a jock and one of the talliest and hottest guys in school. Jace had medium, straight, and dark brown hair that fell to the side of his head. he was tan and he had a beard. Plus just like me he had blue eyes but with a hint of green in them.

"Can you stop staring at me like that?" He says shifting uncomfortably.

I run up and give him a tight hug. "I'm so happy your alive."

He wraps his arms around me and gives me a hug before he pushes me away. "I don't know if being alive is a good thing."

"Don't say that of course it is." I say gigling. He doesn't seem like the same jace I knew. The jace I knew was a sarcastic funny type of guy. He used to think I was annoying and wouldn't have let me touch him. The jace I knew valued life and would talk people out of wanting to harm themselves. So what exactly happened to him?

I study him, he looks at the body in the classroom he was hiding in. Her face is covered by a hoodie and the look he has makes me feel sad for him.

"Who was she?" I ask him.

"Don't worry about it." He looks back at me and the look on his face tells me to drop it.

"Well we need to leave before more come in." Jace says as he walks outside.

"But what about the sick?" I ask nervously looking around. In the distance there was one in sight. I pray he doesn't notice us.

He ignores me and walks towards a house with all the windows covered. "We'll hide there for now." He says pointing at the big house.

I grab his arm to get him to stop walking. "What about our family Jace?" I was worrying about my mom. she been sick lately and I just wanted to check on her.

He sighs and runs his hands through his hair. "I'm tired and after today I just want to sleep. Tomorrow we will figure out if we have anyone left alive."

I nod and we start walking to the house. when we approach jace jiggles the doorknob. "It's locked. we'll have to look at a different one." We turn to leave when we pause.The lock makes a sound and the door opens. I turn to see Junior staring at me and Jace.

Junior-

I was in total shock. Here I am face to face with Angela and One of Mckenzies ex. The way Jace look is how I feel. Defeated and angry at this whole thing. Angela on the other hand has a look I would not expect at all. She seems excited to be here and hasn't looked away from me.

"Can we come in or is there a magic password?" Jace says annoyed with hint of amusement.

"There wasn't a password until you brought up. So give one word that pops in your head and that will be the password."

He thinks for a bit, "Pizza."

I smile, "good enough for me." I step aside so they can come in.

The first thing they notice is R.J, "Are you torturing him?" Angela squeals as she hurries to set him free.

"Step away from him." Mckenzie warns as she stands next to Angela.

"You'll have to make me." Angela says. She goes to release R.J and Mckenzie taps her hand.

"DONT HIT ME!" Angela screams.

Jace pulls Angela away and gives her a stern look. "Do you want more coming and trying to break down the door?" He folds his arms.

"No.." she whispers.

"Than don't scream." He turns to look at me. "As for you, what going on?"

I look at R.J "I'm trying to find some way to see if he still in there."

Jace shakes his head no. "He gone Junior, accept it."

I walk over to R.J "Show Jace he wrong. Show him your in there." Still nothing. My heart aches I need a reaction. At least a small one. Was R.J really gone?

"Maybe I can get him." Angela says and pulls a chair in front of R.J. she sits down and looks at him. "R.J, Sweetie, this isn't you. Your better than this. I know you and I know you can fight it." she goes to touch his face and R.J almost bites her.

"Did you really think that would work?" Jace asked with a judgmental tone.

"At least she tried," I said.

"I have a better idea," Anthony storms back in. We all look as he points a gun to the back of R.J head and pulls the trigger.
