Chapter Eight: Endgame

"Christian? Christian?" Sonny said slapping his face, trying to bring him back to a state of consciousness. She was having no luck as he laid still on the floor, blood staring to escape from his cut on the back of his head. Sonny felt him silently slip away from her. She was completely unaware that Lucian was now standing right behind her.

"Now, now, what did you do that for?" Lucian asked in his usual ice cold tone. Sonny turned around and saw Lucian looking down at her, venom in his veins and his ice cold heart. Sonny gulped and backed away from his advance. Lucian looked at her body up and down. Now that Christian was out of the way, he would have time to "play" with Sonny.

"Now that the distraction is out of the way, we can have our fun." Lucian said. Before he could grab her, Sonny was gone out of the door. Lucian stood in the entrance of the door, smiling.

"Run, little deer. I love the thrill of the hunt." Lucian said walking after her.

Sonny was running through the empty and quiet mall. She had to get away from Lucian, who she knew was going to do god knows what to her when he got his hands on her. She was literally running for her life, and when she stopped running, she figured out where she was.

The entrance to the mall.

Something was different, though. She walked to the entrance, and saw that the sun was rising in the distance. They had survived the night, but it was still going to be a long while before anyone was going to get to them. Lucian had to have known this. That's why he was doing all of this, to get to her.

Sonny began to try to get the door open, but was unable to. Tears began to fall as she was literally was screaming, pleading with the door to open. She fell to the floor in defeat, still sobbing uncontrollably. She stopped for a minute to hear the sound of footsteps walking towards her. Lucian smiled as he approached her.

"Well, what's wrong?" Lucian asked.

"You should know, you son of a bitch." Sonny said.

"Why, I thought that you loved me." Lucian said, pretended to be hurt and offended.

"I never loved you." Sonny said getting to her feet. "You were only interested in me in order to get in my pants. Christian was my friend from way back. He never treated me the way you did. You are nothing but an impotent, immature little boy."

Lucian glared, and grabbed her by the throat, forcing her against the door to the mall. Sonny began to gasp for air and furiously kicking at him.

"You are so pretty, you know that?" Lucian said. Sonny responded by spitting in his face. Lucian wiped his face, and slapped her for her troubles.

"Christian! Help!" Sonny said, in a desperate voice.

"Nobody can hear you now, it is just you and me. Now be quiet so we can have some fun." Lucian said silently.

She felt her vision fading, and just before she passed out, she heard a sound of a gun cocking...

"Sonny?"

Whose calling my name? Who is it?

"Sonny, it's me. Wake up, pretty lady."

Wait, that's Christian. I am alive?

Sonny shot up, and looked around. She wasn't in the mall, she was sitting on the couch in Christian's living room. A blanket was draped over the both of them, and a big bowl of popcorn was sitting on the table in front of them. She looked over at him, and saw that the TV in front of them had credits rolling. Sonny looked over at him with a confused look on her face.

"What's going on?" Sonny asked.

"You fell asleep through the whole movie, that's what." Christian said, stretching and yawning.

"Just out of curiosity, was the movie about two teens being trapped in a mall overnight?" Sonny asked.

"Yeah, and a cult leader was after them." Christian said.

"How did it end?" Sonny asked curiously.

"Well, the boyfriend shot and killed the cult leader who was trying to take his girl away, why did you ask?" Christian told her.

"No reason. I was just curious." Sonny said.

"Well, it's kind of late. Do you want me to walk you home?" Christian ask.

"Yeah. That'll be nice." Sonny answered. Christian smiled and walked her out of the house, and walked arm in arm to her house.

That dream was so real, I wondered if I talked about anything in my sleep? Sonny asked herself.

"Sonny, remember, we are going to the mall tomorrow." Christian reminded her.

"Christian, after the dream I had, I don't think I'll be going to any malls anytime soon." Sonny said, chuckling.
