Max, Maria had not meant to do it, she truly fucking hadn't. She had been so scared, and when she heard someone coming up from behind her, sounding like they were creeping, she instinctively thought it was Ashley. Ashley had already stabbed Maria once. Maria had managed to get the knife from Ashley, but Ashley had ran off before Maria got anywhere with her. So, when hearing suspicious noises, then seeing a figure, she stabbed it. Stabbed it, then mid stab, processed the fact the figure was to tall, to broad, to… maleish to Ashley's. The whimper Max made, the sound of distress, Maria dropped the knife, horrified, dropping to her knees as Max slumped over, struggling to breathe,

"Oh my god.."

She breathed out, grabbing his hands. Max looking at her with a look of betrayal,

"I'm.. I'm so.. So fucking sorry."

She whispered, noticing a horrified looking you, staring at her. Maria looked at you, then back at Max,

"I- I thought you were Ashley."

She whimpered out, squeezing his hands.

"Come on, we have to get you out of here."

Maria whispered, trying to help Max up, but he did not budge, and it's not until then she realized he was not breathing. She checked his pulse, but there was none, no signs of life,

"I'm so fucking sorry."

She repeated, touching Max's lifeless cheeks.

Grieving could not last long though. How could it? Ashley was still there… somewhere..? Right behind Maria. you made a gasping noise, Maria turned around. The knife she had previously dropped picked up, and.. SLICE. Maria was stabbed for a second time. Maria made a whimpering noise, scooting back, and STAB. The knife was lodged into her side. Maria stumbling back as she scooted in a way that made Ashley lose her grip… or it could have been the fact the knife was slippery from the blood. The rest was a blur really, you aggressively and quickly helping Maria stand, Maria leaning on you. Max's corpse made a gurgling noise, which distracted Ashley for just long enough that Maria and you had started to run off… or rather stumble. Maria was struggling to walk from the sheer pain,

"I didn't mean to kill him."

She whispered,

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Maria said quietly as the two of them stumbled off, just hoping Ashley hadn't seen which way they went.
