Fright Night

[Elijah]

Jimmy had loaded his gun with silver bullets and now the silver was infecting him. He could hear someone calling his name, but he couldn't respond. The smoke was everyone and the flames were so hot. "H-help," he gasped.

"Hey babe," Jimmy said, pulling Nicolette to him and kissing her passionately. "Oh i've missed you," he smirked. "You've been entertaining Wesley? You haven't even visited me yet!"

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

Maci heard a small voice, but couldn't really see where it was coming from. She quickly doged some flames that almost burned her. She walked over to the body on the floor and saw a little bit of the face. It was William! "H-hold o-o-on." She coughed. She pulled out the gun again and fired twice at the chains holding Will down. She didn't know he had been shot so she took his hand and started to pull him up, but was having a hard time. He was heavy and she was a petite little girl. "Come o-on, l-let's get out of h-h-here!"

Nicolette pulled away, but had a slight smile on her face. "And you're trying to kill one of my sources? That will really put a damper on my income." She had no real relationship with Wesley, she didn't like those, she just didn't like her sources to die.

[Elijah]

"I can't," he breathed, holding on to her hand for dear life. "S-s-silver. Shot w-with silverr." Will thought he was going to die and he didn't want Maci to go down with him. "Please go.....the fire will k-kill you."

"I have to my little firecracker!" he said, stroking her cheek. "Wesley pissed me off. Look, i'll pay you twice as much as I have been. I'll take all of Wesley's customers and offer them protection. I can pay you the same if not more! Then you can visit me more often. Win win situation."

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

Oh no... Maci coughed violently as the smoke got harder to breathe in. She knelt on the floor beside William and put her gun down. A small explosion made her fall back a little, but she was right back beside William after. "I-I'm not l-l-leaving.." She ripped open his shirt, coughing the whole time, and bent down closer to Will. She was inches from his chest but she saw the hole. What she did next was the most disgusting thing she had ever done to patch up a wound. She stuck her fingers in the wound and felt around until she touched the bullet.

The smoke was really getting to her, she was inhaling too much of it, and it was making her dizzy. The fire was getting unbareable, making her sweat too much. I have to get it out...I have... She slowly pulled the bullet up towards the entry wound, but before she could pull it fully out she coughed harshly. She couldn't take any more and passed out.

"Works for me. I won't pick sides though, you both know I don't." Nicole looked from Jimmy to Wesley before picking up her bag of money. "May the best monster win. See you later." With that she disappeared, not wanting to stick around. The house was on fire and she wanted to get away from the fight.

[Elijah]

Will could feel the bullet coming out, but suddenly it stopped and Maci fell over. Shit. No, no, no. You have to get her out of here. Wake up, WAKE UP! Will's eyes shot open and he was suddenly super aware of his surroundings. He reached down to his wound and finished digging the bullet out. The longer the silver was out, the stronger he became.

Will picked Maci up and carried her up the burning stairs. The fire was destroying the skin of Will's legs, but he knew that with time, they'd heal back to normal. Fighting the pain, he finally made it to the kitchen. He didn't care that the house was in a war. He found a back door and carried Maci out of the building. It wouldn't be long before the whole place was on fire.

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

Maci's lungs were filled with smoke and each small breath she took in the basement just made it so much harder to breathe again. As William picked her up to rush her out of the house, she stopped breathing. She hung there, limp in William's arms, without oxygen. Her mind was black, lifeless. She had no idea where she was, if she was on the ground or in William's arms, whether they were even alive or not.

[Elijah]

Will didn't stop running until they were on the complete opposite side of town. He found an empty building by the docks and broke in. He set her down on the cool floor and brushed the hair away from her face. She wasn't breathing and it was freaking Will out. He bent down, pressed his lips to hers and tried to give her some air. He pressed on her chest and tried again to get her lungs going. "Please breath, please, please please," he repeated over and over again. "Wake up now or i'll.....i'll kill myself too. That's what you did....you killed yourself for me...."

The house burned to the ground in half and hour, and no one but Jimmy made it out alive. He'd had a tiny showdown with Wesley in the living room. Jimmy won, but he earned some nasty scars. He didn't know if the burns Wesley had given him would ever go away. They better. I'm a stud.

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

For a few minutes nothing happened, Maci laid there as William pumped on her chest. Suddenly, she started coughing violently. The fresh air stung slightly, but felt so nice. She found herself taking deep breaths as she laid there, trying to think of what had been going on. After a minute she opened up her eyes and looked around. Wasn't I in the basement...? Yeah...the flames and...

"William!" She called out hoarsely. Her throat was a little raw from the smoke and dryness. She relaxed a little when she saw William kneeling beside her. "I thought you were dead..." She felt exhausted, even though she had been unconscious for a while.

[Elijah]

"I would've been....but you saved me. You came back for me and saved me," he smiled, cradling her in his arms. He figured his arm was a better head rest than the floor. He kissed her forehead and closed eyes. Having her in his arms, alive, was more than he could ask for. "Can you breath? Are you alright? CanI......can I do anything?"

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

"Just tired, and a little lightheaded, but I'm fine." Maci didn't even try to get out of his arms. She liked it. "I can't believe Wesley shot you." She had no idea that Jimmy was responsible for the two of them almost dying. She had figured Wesley had tried to torture William for helping her escape.

"Cater! Get your butt down here! We're going out to eat!" Nicolette grinned, placing the bag of money on the couch of her sister's house. When Carter walked downstairs she opened up the bag of money to show her. "It's payday!"

Carter sighed. "What did you do to get the money?"

"I saved Wesley's life, took out a couple bullets, but really who cares. I want to go to a fancy restaurant just the two of us!"

"Ugh, why did you have to save his life? He's a creep." Carter said nothing about the restaurant because she knew it wouldn't be the two of them. Nicolette always left with a rich guy, leaving her by herself. She did want the food though.

[Elijah]

"It wasn't Wesley," Will whispered, the memory rushing back. "Jimmy shot me, Maci. He shot me so that I couldn't do anything and then he set the basement on fire. The silver would kill me or the flames would. Either way, he wanted me dead. I'm not sure why." He used his body heat to keep Maci warm and stroked her hair to soothe her.

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

Maci's eyes widened and she sat up. "What?! That bastard! I knew I shouldn't have trusted him! I'm so sorry! I had to ask for his help, I wouldn't have been able to get you out by myself. With any luck, they killed each other off." She was furious at Jimmy and she swore that if he wasn't dead she would kill him. She couldn't believe he would do that to William when he promised to help her.

After their dinner Nicolette ended up finding a really hot rich guy and going home with him, like Carter had predicted. She walked around the town since it was a nice night and she had no reason for wanting to go home. The docks were one of her favorite places because they were usually deserted and she could dip her feet into the water. Unfortunately, they weren't empty when she went there, a man and a girl were sitting on the ground talking.

[Elijah]

"I'm alr--" Will looked up and noticed a young woman looking at them. She looks exactly like.... "Stay here," Will whispered, setting Maci back down on the ground carefully. He moved into a crouched position infront of Maci and growled softly. "Back off Nicolette! I won't let you touch her again. Has Wesley sent you on another mission? Well you tell him that we aren't going back to that hell hole!"

[Kendra // Shane // Lilith]

Carter had almost walked to the docks, ignoring the couple, when she heard a voice that made her jump. She turned around and looked at the guy and girl. "I'm not Nicolette. My name's Carter, Nicole is my sister. Are you some of his 'servants'?" She really didn't think of the people Wesley had working for him as servants, they were more like slaves. She guessed they were because they called his house a hell hole.

[Elijah]

The girl said that her name wasn't Nicole, but Will still didn't trust her. He moved closer to her and then inhaled. He relaxed when he realized that the person he was smelling wasn't Nicolette. The sisters looked alike, but they had very different scents. "Sorry," he mumbled, stepping back from her. "You....look like her and we've been through so much....I just wanted to be sure."

Will returned to Maci and sat down beside her. He sprawled his legs out and laid Maci's head on them. "I don't know where we're going to go, but i'll figure it out, I promise," he said softly to Maci.
