Chapter 11: Intruder Aly decided to arrive early to Cross Country practice early that morning. Her mind was racing a hundred miles per hour after what happened yesterday between her and Zane. Aly slowly walked to the locker room and saw the list of exercises she needed to complete for her workout, and quickly sighed when she saw that she had to complete the stupidest, hardest, five-mile long course the school grounds offered. Aly quickly raised her hands in the air and wispered, "fuck my life!" She quickly put her expensive Brooks Running Shoes on and took off down the trail. She quickly smiled as she remembered the security cameras in the forests were off when school wasn't taking place. She hated the feeling of being watched. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aly was on her way back down the dark trail jamming out to 30 Seconds to Mars on her iPod. "Run away! Run away! I'll attack! Run away run away now! I'll attack, i'll attack, I'll AGGGHHHHH!" Aly yelled out her favorite song by the band happily as she ran down the trail. Aly suddenly yelled loudly as she was tackled off the trail by a black clothed figure. She tumbled down the hill and her head crashed against a tree stump. Aly quickly rolled over and sat up and grabbed at her head. "What the hell is wrong with you!" Aly quickly screamed in pain. She was suddenly pulled off the ground by the dark figure and slammed against a tree. She quickly reconized the figures clothes and began crying as she remembered the people who killed her parents. "Please don't kill me..." Aly wispered beggingly. The figure pushed his body against hers and laughed. "No... I'm definately not going to kill you...yet" the figure wispered softly. He slowly raised his mask past his lips and pressed harder against Aly. Aly began screaming as the figure began raising her shirt slightly. He quickly covered her mouth with his hand and ran his other hand up and down her body. Aly tried fighting back, but the figure was pushing so hard against her fighting body that she could barely even breath. He quickly grabbed her face and pushed his lips against hers. She began hitting his chest over and over again, but he wouldn't budge. The figure quickly thrust his tongue into Aly's mouth and attempted pulling her shorts down. Tears streamed down her face and she gave up fighting him. She knew her life was going to end right here. The figure quickly pushed her to the ground and moved on top of her. He quickly began kissing Aly again. Aly quickly had one last chance of getting away and bit down on the figure's tongue. He quickly yelled and blood dripped into Aly's mouth. He quickly stood up and Aly quickly racked him and began running for her life to the school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle and Gabby were getting dressed in workout clothes with everyone else in the locker room. They quickly jumped as they heard piercing cries for help coming from outside, near the forest. Aly quickly stumbled into the locker room, wearing just her spandex underwear and a bloody, ripped to shreds shirt. Blood was all over her face and hair and huge bruises were forming on her face and all over her body. "Oh my gosh... Aly! What happened!" Michelle yelled as she signaled people to go get help. Aly quickly ran to the restroom stalls and locked the door behind her. She fell onto her knees and began crying her eyes out. Her stomach quickly turned inside her and she bent forward and threw up into the toilet. All she felt was pain going through her whole body. The stall was hit quickly, and Aly let out a piercing scream. More huge bangs came onto the stall door and it shot open, finally. Hands quickly grabbed the screaming Aly and dragged her out of the locker room. A blanket was quickly wrapped around her and she began screaming. "Please! PLEASE! Don't kill me! NO!" Aly screamed loudly. She was quickly dragged by security guards to the nurse's office as people began filling the school, wondering who the screams were coming from.
Chapter 12: Drops of Blood Zane was actually running late for once and quickly drove into the parking lot. Police cars amd media crews filled his spot and the first two rows. "What the hell is happening?" Zane wispered to himself. He finally found an empty spot and began speed walking towards the school. Zane finally reached the school and bro hugged Charlie. "Dude man, what's going on?" Zane asked calmly to Charlie. "Apparently one of the Cross Country girls was running and was attacked and sexually assaulted..." Charlie answered creepily. "Bout time this school had some action. The grounds are being searched at this very moment." "Gosh, this is terrible. Where's Cody?" Zane asked questionably. Charlie quickly shrugged and said, "I think he is trying to find the girls." Just then, Cody, Michelle, and Gabby rushed out of the school with tears in their eyes. Charlie and Zane glanced at them curiously glanced at one another. Zane took a deep breath and looked around shankingly. Zane quickly looked at Gabby and Michelle. "Where's Aly?" Zane asked demandingly with dark eyes. Michelle dropped to her knees and began crying into her hands, and Gabby quickly knelt beside her. Zane finally understood and he felt like the world stopped. Everything was going so fast but he wasn't moving. He finally took a deep breath and left everyone and began sprinting inside the building, searching for Aly.
Chapter 13: Drops of Blood Part Two Zane ran down the hallway and found police standing outside of the dimmed lighted nurse's room at the end of the hall. He slowly walked down the hallway and passed a janitor cleaning up drops and spots of blood off the floor. Shivers quickly ran down his spine and he moved closer to the policemen. He finally reached them and the taller, fatter man turned to him. "Sir, we need you to step away from the door. Only family aloud inside..." The policeman quickly said. He quickly looked Zane up and down and noticed that it was him. "Oh! Zane, it's you..." the policeman said surprisingly. "Here, you can go inside." With saying that Zane quickly entered the dark room and scanned the room for Aly. The white, comfy bed was empty but the blanket was gone. He could hear faint cries coming from a distant corner, and he began walking slowly towards the corner. He saw a small figure covered in a white, fuzzy blanket. Aly was obviously cold, and she was shivering uncontrollably. She looked worse than she had ever looked, and Zane felt guilty that he didn't come to this Cross Country practice with her. Tears suddenly filled his eyes as Aly looked into his eyes. They were the lightest blue possible and tears flooded down her bloody cheeks. She looked like she was dead and the life was sucked out of her. Aly let out a soft cry and jumped into Zane's embracing arms. He could smell the dry blood on her and he tried not to hold her tight. She cringed every time she moved and Zane quickly picked Aly up and rested her on the bed. Aly quickly grabbed his hand Zane laid next to her. He quickly wrapped the blanket around her almost naked body, and she quickly began crying into his warm chest. He calmly wrapped his arms around her fragile body and ran his hand through her hair. "Im so sorry..." Zane wispered as tears streamed down his cheek. "I should have been with you this morning. We rarely never run together. This would have never happened if I wasn't so lazy..." Aly curled up in a tiny ball and moved her face to his shoulders and began crying even louder. Zane slowly rested his forehead against her head and stayed there for what seemed like eternity. Aly finally fell asleep and her breathing became even. Zane slowly wrapped the blanket around him too, and he wrapped his arms around Aly and soon fell asleep, feeling guilt take over.
Chapter 14: Truth hurts The loud, shrieking bell soon rang, and Zane quickly jumped awake. Kids suddenly flooded the halls and faces attempted looking inside the dark nurse's office. Everyone was finally shuffled to their classes and Zane could here faint voices of the policemen questioning the Cross Country team. He slowly stood up and began searching for any clothes for Aly. He tore open plastic containers and finally found a black pair of sweats. He sighed and slowly walked to the door and opened it slighty. "Hey officer, I think all that blood is bothering her... Can I please get it off her?" The officer quickly shrugged. "Goodluck... She took down four different officers that tried to touch her. All we were able to do was stick her in the room and get a few blood swab samples. Zane quickly sighed loudly and walked back into the room. He slowly closed down the door and slid down to the ground. Guilt was killing him on the inside. Could he have prevented all of this from happening if he just simply went to practice with her? He quickly stood up and grabbed a towel and dampened it. Aly stirred a bit and moaned as Zane turned on the light. Zane stared at her for a bit and felt pity for her. He could finally see the blood and dirt everywhere, and he could see scratches and HUGE bruises formed all across her body. He slowly sat on the bed and saw a huge bruise running down her chest and stomach, down to her pelvis. "Did you get that bruise when you fell?" Zane asked quietly as he brushed the towel over her cheek. "No..." Aly said slowly as she shook her head "I got it from the guy pressing against me. I couldn't breathe, I tried fighting back Zane, I tried so hard..." Zane quickly brushed her tears away and grabbed her fragile hand. "You got away, that's all that matters Aly. You didn't give up and you got away before anything worse happened." Zane said as he squeezed her hand. "But I did give up... I just stopped fighting him at one point. Zane..." she wispered softly with tears forming in her eyes. "It was one of the people that killed our parents..." Zane quickly took a deep breath. "No..." he wispered softly. Aly quickly turned her face into the pillow and began crying uncontrollably. The door slowly opened. "Aly..? Zane?" a old, wise voice asked. Aly quickly sat up and stared at the man. "Adam?" Zane asked shockingly.
Chapter 15: Old Friend The older man quickly walked in the room and closed the door behind him, He had pure white hair and he had a fragile face. His name was Adam and he was once a butler at the Russian vacation home. He was the only adult that lived through the attack by hiding in the secret cellar. After each of The Familie's parents died, Adam thought he would be the childrens' legal guardian until they came to the age of 18. It was the right thing to do at the time. Zane was the oldest and he turned 18, many months months before, so Adam left the house, leaving the eldest in charge. "I was called because I guess you guys didn't update your emergency call list... I came as soon as I heard" Adam said as he moved closer to Zane and Aly. He studied Aly's bruised face and looked towards Zane. "I know I'm not really your father, nor do you look up to me as a father figure, but Zane, I am telling you now...You BETTER keep an eye on her. She needs someone for her and you seem like you are the closest one to her. I can't help you kids, but you need to watch your backs." "What do you mean Adam?" Zane asked demandingly as he looked deep into Adam's dark, sunken eyes. Adam quickly brought his voice to a wisper, "look... I don't know who did this to her, or who did what they did to your family, but I feel like the attacks are all linked. I feel like this is all the beggining of something... Something terrible." With saying that Adam took one last glance at Aly and Zane and began walking towards the door. "You can't leave us!" Aly croacked out suddenly. "What is an old man like me going to do to help you Aly? I can't protect you kids forever." Adam answered quickly as he shot around to glance at them again. "You're just going to leave us here to die by the hands of the same people that killed everyone we loved two years ago?!" Aly quickly yelled as she glared at Adam. "This could all be a coincidence! Listen, I can't help you guys. I just came to check and make sure you were mentally stable Aly..." Adam said quickly. With saying that, Adam walked out of the room, most likely to never be seen again.
Chapter 16: Out of Here Two long hours went by and Aly finally was able to stand up. She felt the cold tiled floor and chills ran up her spine. She grabbed the sweats Zane gave her and threw them over her quickly. Zane stood in the corner, looking away as Aly did so. "Oh no..." he heard Aly faintly wisper, "Dammit! Why me?!" "What?" Zane asked quickly as he glanced at her. "Your necklace... It's gone Zane!" Aly quickly yelled out as she felt around her neck where it was usually placed. She began quickly crying into her hands loudly. Zane quickly stepped towards her. "Aly... It's ok" Zane quickly wispered as he opened his arms wide and walked closer to Aly. "NO IT'S NOT ZANE! NOTHING IS FINE!" Aly quickly yelled out. "I HATE THIS! The one thing I prized most... It's gone! I can't do this... I'm done Zane." She dodged Zane and quickly stormed out of the room and began running down the hall, crying. "Dammit..." Zane wispered. He quickly ran out of the room and closed the door behind him. He couldn't let Aly hurt herself. Never again.
Chapter 17: Seriously? Aly ran down the empty hall and suddenly was stopped. Charlie quickly grabbed her hand and dragged her against the locker. "Aly..." he quickly wispered. Charlie quickly leaned forward and hugged her tight. "I'm so glad that you're ok..." Charlie wispered as he ran his hand through her hair. "Charlie I need to leave. I can't stay here. Please let me go..." Aly wispered as tears ran down her cheeks. The lunch bell quickly rang and Aly jumped and landed on Charlie's locker. Students quickly filled the hall and Aly blocked her face in Charlie's locker. The students stumbled out of the school, but a few remained. Aly quickly took a deep breathe and opened her eyes. Something quickly caught her eye and she grabbed for it. "Charlie, what the fuck is this?!" Aly asked demandingly as she held up her "lost" necklace. "Well... It's obviously your necklace, right?" Charlie answered confused. Aly began slowly backing away as she looked into Charlie's eyes. "Charlie! This was stolen from me by that creep! Was that you playing a joke on me?!" She quickly yelled. "Thats not funny Charlie! How could you?!?!" Aly quickly screamed out at Charlie. "Aly... I'm being framed! Why would you even say that?! Are you being serious?!" Charlie quickly yelled back. Charlie tried to move closer but Aly quickly pushed him away in pure rage. "I hate you! You did this to me!" Aly screamed. Echos quickly filled the hall and heads turned. Aly quickly pushed Charlie into the lockers and began running once again with her necklace.
