Bottle of Rum, Pills and Fate

Chapter 17: The one question that ruined it all, the dreams that were reality, and the rooms that brought our fates

 

~Sarah's P.o.V.~

I sat down on the couch with Will, me and Meg had started a game of Quarters over the coffee table. Jack was drinking from a small bottle of rum he had found. Kim was in the kitchen on our phone, talking to Kaiba. I laid my head on Will's lap bored. Meg smirked, perking a brow,"We're still here you know..." she pointed out. "We can pretend you're not," Will said to her, smirking at me. I flushed red, smiling back nonetheless. "You two are married now, Sarah," Kim said, sitting herself down on one of the armchairs and snatching the bottle of rum from Jack. Meg took it back and downed the rest. Jack pretended to pout and Meg gave him a kiss. Kim smirked,"See Sarah, no shame!" she said. I smiled lightly and kissed Will,"I have no shame!" I said. He laughed, kissing me back. Just then, Max walked in. "Hey, was he a complete and total fucking jerk?" Kim asked, I glanced at Max and saw why Kim had said that. She looked as if she had been crying. I tossed her a small bottle of rum and smiled. She caught it and threw it at Jack. "You guys hungry?" she asked. We shrugged lightly. "Is he...with you?" I asked. Kim and Meg gave me a look and I shrugged innocently. It wasn't like they weren't going to ask it anyway. "Yes, he is, and don't give her that look you two, it wasn't like you weren't going to ask it anyway," Max replied. I smirked lightly. "Well was he?" Kim asked. "Was he...what?" Max asked, perking a brow. "Was he a total and complete...jerk?" I asked. She shrugged,"I'm still deciding?" she replied. Me, Meg and Kim exchanged looks again. Max sighed lightly, rolling her eyes,"Come into the hall..." she muttered to us as InuYasha came in,"And you...wait here..." she said to him. He nodded and sat down to Will as I got up. I followed Meg, Max and Kim into the hallway. "Alright..." I said,"What's up now?" Kim looked at Max,"Maxine was just about to explain something to us..?" Maxine nodded lightly,"Alright...I'm....not sure about InuYasha and me..." she started. "What do you mean?" Meg interrupted. "Shush Meg," I whispered. "Shush you," she said, poking. "Shh...I mean...have you three ever thought...we only married our husbands because..." Max whispered, her voice hesitant. "Because...we only married them because we love them Max...remember...head over heels in love with InuYasha like you are..." Kim said. I nodded lightly,"What were you thinking?" I asked. "Because they're from a movie or a t.v. show...and we watched their shows and movies because we jokingly dreamed about "marrying" them...have you three ever thought that after the weddings?" she said. I gaped at her,"Are you crazy, Max...I love Will!" I said. She sighed lightly and nodded,"Right..." she mumbled and walked back into the living room. I followed and sat sort of on top of Will. He smiled and kissed me,"I heard my name, everything okay?" he asked. I nodded and watched Max. She stood still by the door,"Who wants pizza?" she asked. "Aye, pizza sounds good, lass..." Jack said. Meg sat on the arm of his armchair, half way crossing her arms as best she could with a broken arm. Kim sat cross legged on the floor and turned on the t.v. "Pizza...right, whatever," she muttered. Max nodded and looked at InuYasha. He stood,"I'll drive..." he said. They walked out and we all listened to our car engine start and fade away. Kim turned off the t.v. and threw the remote onto the table hard, making the batteries fly out and skid onto the floor,"I cannot fucking believe her!" she yelled. "Kim..." I started. "Don't say don't swear, Sarah, you know Kim's right," Meg said bitterly. I nodded lightly. "And...we're lost mate, eh?" Jack said to Will. Will nodded as well,"Aye, we are Jack...and I'm tired so I'm off to bed..." he said, kissing me. I kissed back and nodded,"I'll be there soon," I said. I scooted off of him and he went down the hall to our bedroom. Jack looked at Meg,"Shall we be off too, love?" he asked. She nodded and they went to the guest bedroom. Kim sighed,"I'll wait till Max comes back and talk some sense to her..." she muttered. "Alright..." I said, standing up,"Kim...did you ever feel that we only started going out with our husbands because we saw them on a screen and we actually did joke about marrying them?" She shrugged and I perked a brow,"At first..." she muttered. "Yea...but now...I love Will, I really do...but now that she says it..." I said. "You're having doubts?" she asked. I shrugged now and sighed,"I'm...going to bed...night Kim..." I said, walking down the hall to mine and Will's bed room.

He was changing. "Hey you..." he said, kissing me. Screw it, I had no doubts. I kissed him back,"Hey..." I whispered. He smiled and we laid down on the bed. We burrowed under the blankets and...cuddled together. We had just grown quiet when we heard a loud bump on the wall, where the guest bedroom was. "Ow!" came Jack's voice,"Bloody 'ell!" Me and Will looked at each other and starting laughing. "Stop laughing!" Meg yelled, but her and Jack were laughing too. No way we doubted. Will smiled at me again and kissed me, hugging me close to him. His heartbeat was steady and his breathing was relaxed...so relaxing I drifted off to sleep and dreams...

~Meg's P.o.V.~

After cracking up about Will and Sarah hearing our little...bump on the head, Jack brought me close to him, wrapping his arms around my shivering form. I was still smiling and trying not to laugh. Jack kissed me lightly, rubbing the back of his head,"That hurt, love..." he said, smirking a bit. "Sorry...a bit too rough?" I asked. He laughed softly, "Jus' a bit..." he said. I smiled and kissed him,"Feeling better now?" I asked. He put a thoughtful face,"Maybe..." he said. I fwapped him gently, "You just got your fun!" I said. "I CAN HEAR YOU CRAZY COUPLES!" Kim called. We started laughing again softly and I laid my head on Jack's heaving chest. He ran his fingers through my hair, hugging me close, careful not to crush my broken arm. I relaxed and drifted off to sleep...and that's when my dream started...more like nightmare...

I looked around me, but could barely see anything through the thick purple fog surrounding us. We heard Kim screaming...literally screaming out of fear and pain. Sarah and Max were there too and Kaiba was struggling out of InuYasha's, Jack's and Will' grip. Trying to anyway...he was calling her name and suddenly I saw something hit Sarah down and then Max. InuYasha let out a yell and Will started running towards the spot where Sarah had stood. I wasn't moving, that's when Jack screamed at me,"Meg, love!" then...nothing...but the pounding of blood in my ears...and I couldn't hear anything else...

That's when I realized the dream...wasn't a nightmare...but it was real. I struggled to open my eyes. I felt cold and as if my ribs were cracking. I finally opened my eyes. I was apparently in a room made of mirrors. Even the floor I was lying on was mirrors. The cracked mirror floor had a streak of red across it though. The scrapes and cuts on my arms told me someone had apparently thrown me hard onto the mirrored paneled floor. Either that or I fell. I looked up for evidence of a door and only saw multiple reflections of me looking down at myself. I closed my eyes again and sat up slowly. I had been fucking sick of passing out and getting hurt last winter. Now I was just fucking pissed off already. I opened my eyes again as I took a deep breath. My ribs wouldn't let me breathe that deep. I looked down. At least whoever kidnapped me had the decency to re-dress me. In the worst dress ever, it was blue satin and worst of all...I was wearing a corset. I looked around and only saw myself again, slipped down the dress halfway and practically ripped off the stupid thing that was suffocating me. Instantly I felt free. I pulled the dress back over my upper half and looked around, standing carefully. My feet were bare and also scraped and cut from the glass. I stepped carefully and the mirror gave a huge crack again. I froze and the floor seemed to shudder and lean. I thought I was going to pass out again, but the floor was really leaning. I freaked out and started scampering towards the wall. But the closer I thought I was getting was just a fake boundary. This stupid mirror room was bigger than I thought. I tried to get a hand hold on the cracking glass and just got more cut up. I looked to where the floor was slanting, it was a lot now. It was sliding me into...nothingness. The glass cracked straight in half and I fell down. I landed on the hard ground as glass rained down on me. I covered my head as a scream filled my ears. The glass stopped raining down and I raised my head a bit. This room was very dark. But I heard heavy, shallow, nervous breathing near me. Then a hand grabbed my arm and I gave out a yelp. "Sarah, don't fucking do that!" I yelled, my yell reverberating through the dark room. "Sorry..." she whispered timidly. I grabbed her hand,"Where are we...?" I asked. "I don't know...I remember going to sleep...and dreaming..." she said. "Me too..." I said. "Your hands are wet and sticky..." she whispered. "They're scratched and cut up and bloody..." I explained. "Oh...what was your dream about?" she asked. "Does it matter?" I asked, trying to adjust my eyes to the blinding darkness. "My dream was about us...all of us were in it...and Kim was screaming...and we all got hit hard...and InuYasha, Kaiba, Jack and Will were there..." she whispered in a small voice. I blinked, "Mine too..." I whispered. I felt something brush against my ankle, as if a human nail was rubbing against it. "Sarah, stop it..." I said. "I'm not doing anything...I thought it was you," she whispered. My heartbeat started to race as whatever it was grabbed my ankle. I side-stepped quickly and tripped, losing grip of Sarah's hand. She screamed in fear and a dim light lit up somewhere. Behind me...were...skeletons. Hideous, awful, evil looking skeletons. One was practically ripping at Sarah with it's long hideous nails. I took her hand and pulled, almost dragging her whole weight away. Then the lights went out and we were left in blindness and silence. "Meg?" Sarah quietly said. "I'm alive...you okay?" I asked. "Yea..." she whispered, "Do you see that light?" She was apparently talking about the light in the distance. "The light at the end of the tunnel..." I whispered. "Are we dying?" she asked fearfully. "No...I hope not...I don't want to die...it takes a lot more to make me want to die, I've been through it...and I'm still alive..." I whispered back. "Then what is that?" she asked. "I don't know..." I replied. But the light surrounded us and we were in a red room with black candles lit all around. A single full-length mirror was on the wall. We walked carefully over to it. Both of us were dressed in black wedding dresses with black veils now. But the mirror seemed foggy. Then we saw another face. That face screamed. It was Maxine. "Oh my God, Max!" I said, putting my hand through the mirror and grabbing her arm before she stumbled back. She had mascara running down her face and she was crying. She was limping too. "Are you okay?" I breathed in a whisper. She slumped down and hitched up her own black wedding dress, showing her leg. Sarah clutched my arm and my stomach gave a sickening lurch. Her leg was sliced deep down the side, still heavily bleeding and the knee was so twisted. Her knee cap was showing... She let out a whimper and put her dress back over it, ripping off the black veil. She pulled herself up and looked around. "What the fuck is going on?" she asked. That...was the question of the hour...
