A/n: this isn't the final chapter! It might look like it from the end of the chapter but I promise it's not! I have a few ideas of where to take this :)

I woke up to a scream. "ALICE!" It was Cindy. I looked up to see why she was yelling at her, I wish I hadn't. One of my only friends, a girl I had known for years, Alice Hart had been slashed by Tommy Slater. She fell to the floor as Ziggy had noticed that I was awake and now crying, she came to my side and held me, muttering comforting words while gently petting my hair. We heard another yell, I saw Cindy grab a shovel and bring it to Tommy's throat "DIE! WHY-WONT-YOU-FUCKING-DIE!!!" She yelled taking his head off. Me and Ziggy gripped onto each other in fear, even tighter than before. Looking away from the gruesome scene before us. I sobbed harder as I noticed Cindy with Alice mumbling pleas for her to stay with us. She stopped breathing and I burried my head in Ziggys hair as she continued to hold me close.

I didn't know it then, I was too young to know. But I was in love with her. I loved Ziggy Berman, and she loved me too. It feels obvious when I think about it now.

Cindy stood up and Ziggy eventually let go. We heard singing coming from the back room. "What is that?" Ziggy voiced the question in my head. We saw a girl crawl out of a gap in the floor where a metal grate used to be. Cindy grabbed Ziggys hand and instructed us to run. They started to get out the door Ziggy tried to grab me off the floor but it was too late. The girl from beneath the mess hall was on top of me.

I heard Ziggy scream as she was being dragged away by her sister. "We finish this now! We can end the curse  I have her hand, but we have to go now, cmon Ziggy." I heard Cindy yell to her sister as they ran. I had gotten distracted from the girl on top, which gave her the opportunity to get the first cut in. It was Ruby Lane, Nurse Lanes dead daughter. She had no life behind her eyes as she slashed at my arms and torso getting in a few deep cuts before taking her razor and applying intense pressure to my shoulder cutting deeper and deeper as I screamed until I kicked her away. I scrambled to my feet and ran wincing in pain.

I limped around camp completely lost. Tommy was nowhere to be seen but neither were the two girls I needed to find. I went to both their cabins, and looked around others too. Finding gruesome discoveries in quite a few. I ran into someone along the way, I was too scared to see who it was so I just ran as he yelled after me.

I eventually made my way to the field. I had taken ages to get there. Maybe if a had just got there a few minutes earlier I could have done something...

I found two body's laying side by side, but not a killer in sight. I prayed to god that neither would be Ziggy but my worst nightmare became reality as I got closer.  I ran to her side and pushed her blood soaked hair out of her face. "Ziggy...no no no- please , I can't lose you. Don't leave me...please." I had bandages in my back pocket from when I took them from nurse lane in case Ziggys one on her arm from the burn came loose. I immediately found her wounds and applied the bandages and kept pressure on them .

I sat cupping her face as I sobbed and muttered to her still, "I need you, please...I can't do this without you...". I turned to see Cindy next to her and I took her hand in mine. She had clearly been axed multiple times in the chest as Ziggy had been stabbed and slashed across the abdomen, Cindy was too far gone to be saved. Ziggy probably was too but I couldn't give up on her. I sat with them ignoring the pain I was in, it didn't matter in the moment. Nothing did.

I saw Nick running over, I left Ziggys side for a moment. "I ran into you a few minutes ago-" he started but I cut him off. "Please. You have to help her." I choked out between sobs. He nodded quickly and gave me a sympathetic look, then began cpr on her mumbling pleas for her to breathe. I sat by Cindy and held her limp hand still crying, I never knew her that well, I regret that now. I knew she was gone but she deserved a better send off.
