An Expected End

"Faster!" He screamed back to his brothers as he rounded the corner. The mob was gaining, they would never make it. Kevin, the oldest, was lagging too far behind. When they had first been ambushed a couple of the crazies had grabbed his leg. They proceeded to shriek and tear, luckily they only sprained his ankle and took his shoe, but much worse would befall him if he was caught.1

Suddenly the leader of the pack lunged and tackled Kevin to the ground. He tried to crawl away but soon others pounced on him. His screams were drowned out by the creatures as they rent apart their catch. The remaining two brothers could only glance back in horror at the hysterical things. Once they had claimed their trophies their attention reverted back to the survivors.2

Running once more they skidded into the parking lot of a late night supermarket. They dove behind a dark blue SUV, praying that the beasts did not see them do so. 3

"I think we lost them," Nick, the youngest, whispered breathlessly, "I can't hear them anymore." Suddenly a shadowed rolled over the horribly mistaken boy. 4

"They're here!" The she-thing screeched, jumping up and down on the hood of the vehicle to alert the others.5

"God not aga-" Before the now eldest brother could finish his cry he was swarmed. Nick had managed to roll under the car and was forced to watch his brother struggle in vain. At first he swung out, kept them at bay, but that didn't stop them for long. The numbers grew and the crowd became overwhelming. Ripping his clothes, his hair, even his finger nails off. They ravaged him, all the while fighting over the material they retrieved. 6

They made quick work of him. Afterward all that was left was a broken, bare carcass; hardly recognizable.7

"Where is he? Where's Nick?" The question buzzed through pack. It made Nick nauseous with fright. After a murmuring discussion they departed, searching in new directions for the final victim of the night. 8

Disturbed beyond belief Nick crawled from beneath the SUV, trying his hardest not the look at what remained of his fallen brother. In a daze he wandered out of the parking lot. It no longer mattered if they found him; he no longer cared about his own life. 9

Reaching an overpass he climbed onto the railing. 10

"Wait Nick!" Oh Heavens! They had found him again. "Come over here! I love you!" The vultures had to be part bloodhound; they always seemed to detect them wherever they went.11

"This is just too much, I can't take it anymore." Nick prepared to take the leap to end his life. "If I had known it would be like this I never would have gone with my brothers in the first place!" At this he leaped off toward his concrete pillow.12

THE JONAS BROTHERS DEAD15

Late last night while returning home from a concert the members of the popular teen band, The Jonas Brothers, were ambushed by legions of female fans. These fans proceeded to chase after the boys and mob them. Both Kevin and Joe Jonas were found dead, killed by their admirers and stripped of all possessions. Nick Jonas apparently killed himself after the deaths of his brothers by jumping off an overpass. An estimated 27 teenage girls also died when they jumped after him. The police are looking into the matter but don't expect to make any arrests as this was bound to happen sooner or later.16
