Brian was afraid to move Lisa after she passed out. Her leg and shoulder were pretty tightly bandaged with what was available in the first aid kit, and he hoped that it would stop the bleeding. With only the two stab wounds, Brian still held her limp body in his arms. He didn't know why, but he just didn't want to let her go. He sat and held her in silence until Stephanie and Matt came down to the kitchen

“Oh my God!” Stephanie shouted, running to the two on the floor and dropping to her knees beside the two of them.

“She needs a hospital, but she should be okay. Zacky bandaged her wounds pretty well and we can only hope that they hold up. We have some gauze and stuff left over, but not a lot. She lost blood, but she passed out from the pain.” Brian explained before he held up the knife and showed Stephanie the five inch blade almost completely covered in blood. “This is what Korynn attacked us with, and it was stuck in her thigh almost to the handle.”

“She's going to be okay though, right?”

“She’ll be fine. We’ll see when she wakes up.”

“You should bring her to the couch. At least lay her down and get a pillow under her head.” Matt spoke up. “She should at least be comfortable for when she wakes up.”

“You’re right. Go set up a spot on the couch please?”

Matt and Stephanie went towards the living room. Brian still sat for a moment and held Lisa in his arms. She was breathing fine, but Brian was still so worried. He hardly knew why he was so worried. She was only stabbed twice. Granted she was still injured regardless, his stomach twisted in knots as he feared the worst happening. So many emotions ran through his mind as he watched her.

“You’re gonna be fine, Lis,” he whispered.

Once he adjusted to holding her, he stood up and carried her into the living room, setting her onto the couch. Again not wanting to leave her, he sat in the chair where he could keep an eye on her. Things were quiet for almost a half an hour while the rest of the group showered.

“Brian, you want to go shower?” Johnny asked behind him. “I’ll keep an eye on her.”

“Yeah. Just…keep a close eye on her. We just don't know if she lost too much blood to where it could kill her.”

“I got it, we’ll keep an eye on her while you go clean up.”

Brian headed away with Zack to go shower.

“This is fucking stupid, watching each other shower,” Zack said as he sat just outside the bathroom with his back against the wall while his friend was showering.

“Yeah, but I don’t feel like getting killed. It’s weird, but hell, how long have we been this way? Fucking, sleeping on top of each other and shit.”

“Touche my friend. Touche.” Zack paused for a moment. “You seem really concerned about Lisa.”

“Yeah.”

“I mean, like…really concerned. Concerned like a married couple.”

“So what?”

“I’m just saying, you barely know her, and you’re already married.”

“Separated.”

“Separated?”

“We’re getting divorced.”

“Okay, so what does this have to do with Lisa?”

“I don’t know, you brought her up.”

“You seem like…you’re starting to like her.”

“Zack, I met her five days ago. I barely know her. I’m just concerned cause she was stabbed twice.” This has nothing to do with us having sex. Or does it? Nah.

“I get ya, but she's going to be fine. We'll get out of here and get her to the hospital, and you probably won't see her again after this.”

“Why? You think she'll avoid me because of all this?”

“No. She's a fan of the band. You know we have our own friends and families, while she has hers.”

“What's wrong with me staying in touch with her after this?”

“Well...she may not want to. Dude, by all means, go ahead and try. If she wants to then great.”

“Zacky, my marriage went to shit. Do you really think I'm ready to move on already?” Brian was starting to get frustrated, for reasons he couldn't even explain.

“Chill out dude.”

As soon as Brian was out of the shower and dressed, he was back downstairs, sitting back in the chair. Lisa was still knocked out, which worried him even more. She was still wearing the same cut up and bloodstained outfit. He wished there was a way to get clean clothes on her, but the thought felt awkward. The bandages were still white, indicating that the bleeding was controlled. He felt slightly relieved, but the fact that she was still unconscious bothered him.

“You need to wake up,” he said in a whisper to himself.

“She will,” someone said behind him.

Brian turned, seeing Stephanie standing close by. She then proceeded to sit on the floor between where Lisa was laying and where Brian was sitting.

“I know. It looks like the bleeding was controlled, but she’ll still need a hospital.”

“Yeah. With all due respect, why are you so concerned? You barely know her.”

“I got the same speech from Zack. I just am. She's injured, three people are dead. There's going to be a lot of shit going down when we get out of here.”

“If we get out.”

“We will. With what we all went over, we’ll stick out the last two days.”

“I sure hope so.”

A few moments of silence went by until Matt stepped in calling everyone into the kitchen.

“Alright, I guess after today's events we need to continue to be extra aware of our surroundings. Lisa got hurt, and she's pretty lucky to still be alive.”

“Umm, Matt? She was only stabbed twice, right?” Jenna asked.

“She lost blood though. That's what we're more concerned about with her,” Brian interrupted.
Matt cleared his throat. “Today’s Thursday, it’s almost over. I just wanted to ask and see how everyone was feeling.”

“We’re fine, but no offense, it’s you four that should start being careful. We’ve lost two girls already,” Jenna said.

“Yeah, we figured that. But is anyone feeling strange at all?” Matt asked, getting confused looks from everybody.

“You guys didn't see Korynn during the attack.” Brian interrupted again, speaking in a low voice. “It...it wasn't her.” He shook his head to try and rid himself of the mental images. “She was possessed. Her eyes...” He stood up quickly and walked out of the room.

“Everybody else feeling okay? Other than the obvious?” Matt asked.

Everybody nodded their heads and Matt told everybody to just go hang out. As everybody was standing up, Brian shouted from the living room.

“Lisa's gone!”
