Prologue –
Gather the Players and Set the Stage!
My name is David and my first
high-school summer vacation is oddly enough going to be spent with my grade
school friends. Iris is arranging it at a lakeview hotel and is inviting most
of the people we know from my grade-school class via social media. We’re
supposed to stay there for the entire summer vacation with visits to the beach,
amusement parks, and adventures through the wild. Since I don’t really have any
plans for the summer and no real friends to spend it with, I accept her offer
and my parent drive me to the hotel.
They drop me off and say your usual
parenty things like; “Have fun!” “Be safe!” and “Don’t get too touchy with the
girls!” Once I take my stuff out of the car and watch my parents leave, I look
over the group of familiar faces outside the hotel. I decide to walk over to
one of them that I think I know the most.
“Hello,” I say to Ella who is
standing by the river.
“Hey David, it’s been a long time
hasn’t it?”
“Not really, it’s only been a year.”
“Right, but it feels like a long
time.”
“Do you still draw pictures?”
“Of course I do! I’m honestly
shocked you remember that.”
“Why?”
“Because not many of us remember
that much about each other.”
“Well I remember a couple things
about everyone.”
“That’s good. I’m sure they’ll
appreciate that.”
“So what are you going to do with
your drawings, are you going to become an artist?”
“Nah I’m not going to draw boring
landscapes and extremely vague art. I’m going to do comics and manga.”
“Really? That’s so cool!”
“I know right?”
She reaches for pieces of paper in
her bag and gives it to me.
“Here are two drafts of two of my
comics.”
The first one she gives me is about
a popular spider superhero’s mind and body being taken over by one of their
biggest villains. The villain realizes what it really means to be a superhero
and he decides to outdo the hero he previously hated, become superior in other
words. The second one is a manga about an antisocial high-school girl who is
trying to make friends and be popular, but she is constantly stopped by her own
shyness and lack of courage.
“These are really awesome!”
“Thanks,” she says with a bright
smile on her face.
“Hey David!” says a familiar voice.
“Go on,” says Ella, “I shouldn’t
take all of your time.”
“Ok, I’ll see you later!”
“See ya!”
I walk over to the person who
called me over. His name is Stan, an old bestfriend of mine. He smiles as I
approach him.
“Hey man!” he says “Trying to get
with one of girls already?”
“It’s not like that!” I say while
my blushing face says otherwise.
“Yeah, yeah. So what’s up? How have
you been?”
“Fine, you?”
“Ah
great man! I’ve been trying to write a novel and it’s going great!”
“Really? I didn’t think you become
a writer.”
“Me too, but after seeing
everything wrong that’s been going on in the world, I had to show it to people
in order to change the world.”
“Wow you’re really want to make a
difference don’t you?”
“Yeah, I’ve always been this
assertive, don’t you remember?”
“Of course I do.”
He pats me on the back.
“That’s the friend I remember! You
know it’s a shame that all of us went to different high-schools after
grade-school. I mean, we’ve all been together since pre-k.”
“I know.”
We take a moment to take in the
realization that all of us have separated after being so close. It’s kind of
hard to imagine.
“You should probably talk to
Peter,” says Stan, “Nobody probably know shim better than you do.”
“Right.”
I walk over to Peter who is reading
a comic. He doesn’t seem too happy and seems to be totally entranced by the story.
“Hey Peter,” I say to him as I
touch his shoulder.
He turns to me and actually smiles.
“Hey David, it’s nice to see you
again.”
“Whatcya reading there?”
“Oh, it’s a comic based on one of
my favorite video game series.”
“Isn’t this the one with demon summoning
and tarot cards?”
“That’s right! I appreciate that
you remember it as one of my favorites unlike everyone else.”
“Well it is one of my favorites
too. Do you like drawing and writing like Ella and Stan?”
“No, I’m a critic. I like going
through movies, video games, and comics and reviewing them.”
“Oh yeah I remember that you have
over five hundred thousand subscribers on your channel right?”
“Five hundred fifty thousand subs
to be exact.”
“That’s so cool man! Hey, can I be
on your show?”
“Sure, just give me your number and
I’ll call you when I’m making another review.”
“Awesome.”
I take out my phone and as he gives
me his number, I realize that I don’t have it nor do I have the numbers of the
other people here. I also realize that I don’t have any cell reception in this
area.
“Hmm,” I say.
“What’s up man?”
“Do you have the numbers of anyone
else here?”
“No, but I’m sure Rita, Stan, and
Iris do. Why?”
“Just asking. I’ll see you later?”
“Ok man.”
I walk over to Arthur who is
playing his guitar. Stan, Ella, Iris, and Rita are also listening to his
performance. He and the others smile at me as I join them. He finishes playing
his song and the group disperses, but I stay behind to talk to Arthur.
“Hey,” I say as I extend my hand.
He shakes my hand and we both let
go and snap our fingers.
“Ey! You remember our handshake!”
“I see that you remember it too and
the only country artist that any of us listen to!”
“Cash country for life!”
“Yeah!”
“So what have you been doing?”
“Nothing too special, you?”
“I’ve been trying different genres
besides rock and country. I’m trying hard rock, metal, and punk.”
“So basically different types of
rock? Hahaha.”
“Hahaha now that I think about it,
yes. I guess I haven’t changed much and neither have you.”
“I know.”
“And speaking of that, are you
still trying to get with you know who?”
“I haven’t really talked to her
since we graduated.”
“Well now’s your chance to redeem
yourself man, go talk to her.”
“Uhhh.”
“Don’t worry man you got this!”
“Ok, but you gotta teach me how to
play the piano later.”
“Deal, but I’m still pretty rusty
with it.”
“That’s fine.”
We do our handshake and I go to
walk over to Rita, but I bump into Iris along the way.
She hugs me tightly then says,
“David!”
“Iris! You’re squishing me!”
She lets go, letting me breath
again.
“Thank you!”
“I’ve missed you so much!”
“Me too, but you didn’t need to hug
me that hard.”
“Oh you know me and my strength.”
“Yeah and I remember you beating
high-school kids in weightlifting and track.”
“You remember that?”
“Well I seem to be the one that
remember everything about everyone.”
“I hear. Everyone seems to think
that.”
“That’s a good thing right?”
“Of course it is! A good memory is
an important thing to have including a healthy diet and strong muscles!”
“I see.”
“You haven’t talked to Rita yet I
hear. Why haven’t you?”
“Well I was about to, but then
you-”
“Oh I’m sorry! I was just excited
to see you.”
“It’s fine.”
She hugs me again and we part ways.
I walk over to Rita who is sitting on the front steps of the hotel. Rita smiles
at me as I walk over to her and I smile back.
“Hi, David.”
“Hi, Rita.”
We blush and don’t say anything for
a few seconds while looking each other in the eyes before saying anything.
“Sooo….ahem. How have you been?” I
say.
“Ok, kinda better now since you’re
here.”
“Yeah, it’s good to see you too.”
“You know it’s weird how we’re the
only ordinary people here who aren’t special in doing anything.”
“I know, but we’re still in
high-school so we still have time to find something to be good at.”
“Yeah, but it still kinda feels
overwhelming.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you find
out what you want to be.”
“Really?’
“Yes. We’ll find out what we’re
going to be together. Maybe we’ll even do the same thing.”
“Haha, yeah. We’ll start our own
business and set our own rules.”
“That sounds awesome!”
We laugh at the idea.
“Hey, I was wondering. Why haven’t
we gone inside yet?”
“It’s because Iris wanted to wait
for everyone else who is coming out here and it’s boring to stay in the hotel,
so all of us are just staying out here.”
“Oh, well no one told me.”
“I’m sorry, but didn’t you enjoy
staying outside here talking to us?”
“I did. I really liked catching up
with everyone.”
“…Who did you like talking to the
most?”
Aw jeez! Why did she have to ask me
that while looking at me, excepting a right answer?
“Uh…”
She starts leaning in closer to me
while staring deep into my eyes.
“You! Of course,” I embarrassingly
say.
“Me?!” she says in shock.
“W-well yeah we’re like mostly the
same stuff and in grade-school we uh…”
She smiles at me, stands up, and
gives me a hug.
Whew! That
was weird to say. I actually liked talking to everyone equally, but I know what
Rita wanted me to say and I said it. I’m actually surprised she got up to hug
me and…wait a sec.
“Hey…uh…Rita?”
“Mmm?”
“Haven’t you hugged me long
enough?”
“Mmm.”
“Uhhh.”
Pretty much everyone is looking at
us with smiles on their face.
“Well I guess no one else is coming
so we might as well go in,” says Iris as she takes her stuff.
Everyone else grabs their stuff and
starts to walk into the hotel except for Rita and I because she is still
holding me with a bright smile on her face.
“Uh…Rita? Everyone is going in.”
“Mmmmm.”
Another few awkward seconds pass
by.
“Uh…Can someone help me here?”
Ella and Stan help Rita get off me
and we enter the hotel. As the last of us enter and the front door shuts, the
shutters on the windows and doors tightly close, trapping us in the hotel and
scaring us all.
“What the hell is going on?” says
Stan.
Something that I can only describe
as a cat appears from above and lands on the landing leading to the next floor
in front of us.
“Hello boys and girls!” it says in
a feminine voice, “My name is…
We all stand in shock as we look at
the cat and attempt to understand what is going on.
“Speechless I see? It makes sense
to be since you don’t see a cat of my calipurr every day.”
It does a modeling pose.
“Wa-What are you? And why are we
trapped here?” I say.
“I! Am the cutest thing you will
ever see in your entire life!”
She does another modeling pose.
“Really? You look more scary than
cute,” says Arthur.
“Aww! Why thank you! I do try to go
for both. So enough complementing, now it’s time to get down to business. YOU
are here to play my little game of life and death.”
“And what happens if we don’t want
to play?” says Peter.
“Oh that’s simple.”
Kat’s klaws come out of her hands
and feet.
“I’ll slice you up into bite size
pieces and eat you up as if you were delicious candy!”
Wow she’s serious!
“Now then.”
Kat’s klaws retract.
“Since there will be no more
objections from the peanut gallery, I will explain the rules to my game. One:
You may not harm or put your hands on me. I know how cute and adorable I am,
but you may not lay your hands, feet, whatever on me.”
“Like anyone thinks you’re cute or
adorable,” Stan says under his breath.
“Da fuck did you just say?!” Kat
says with her claws out.
“Na-Nothing!” Stan says while being
scared out of his mind.
“Anyways…Second and most important:
One of you must kill ONE of your friends in secret to escape here!”
We are in even more shock than before,
speechless to even react.
“When two or more people find the
body, you will have to investigate the scene to find out who done it and then
we’ll have a trial so you can pin point the killer. If you find out who the
killer is and you pick the right person, that person will be EXECUTED!”
Executed?!
“Yes children, EXECUTED! And not
executed quickly and without pain, but executed in their own painful and
agonizing way!”
What the hell is going on?! This
can’t be real!
“Now if you don’t pick the right
person, everyone except the killer will be executed!”
“Tha-That won’t happen!” states
Ella, “We won’t kill each other for your amusement!”
“A-A-Ah! Now this is where the
third rule comes in. If no one kills someone within the day, I will be the one
to kill someone and the first rule protects me from execution.”
“That’s not fair!” I say.
“It’s totally fair! And to add to
the fairness, today and tomorrow will be a free day for you. So decide who
you’re going to kill and how so be ready to embark on this adventure full of
THRILLS! CHILLS! And KILLS!”
Kat disappears in a puff of pink
smoke, leaving us in a deadly and tense situation.
Chapter 1 – A
Trip Into Despair
We stand in shock at the hotel’s
entrance, not knowing what to do or say. We can only look at each other to see
if someone will make a move.
“So…what’s going to happen?” says
Stan.
“I don’t know,” says Arthur.
“I guess we should just look
around. We have to calm down and figure out how we can get out of this,” I say.
“David’s right,” says Rita, “We
can’t just stay here moping around. That cat might just kill us if we do
nothing.”
We all nod at each other and agree
to check different parts of the hotel. I
check the bottom floor and the only doors that open are sixteen rooms probably
for the sixteen people in our class and since nothing else is here, I go to
check on everyone else. Arthur is sitting down on stage in the dining hall
playing his guitar.
“Hey,” I say as I walk to him.
“Hey.”
He continues to play.
“Are you feeling ok?”
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“What song are you playing?”
“One that I wrote.”
“It
sounds pretty good.”
“Thanks
man.” Sighs “This is some crazy shit
that we’re going through, ain’t it?”
“Yeah, but don’t worry.” I put my
hand on his shoulder. “We’ll get through this!”
“Thanks man. I needed that.”
“Anyways…did you find anything
here?”
“Nah man. Besides a stereo system
and a few other music related things, there’s nothing here.”
“Ok. I’m going to check on
everything else.”
“Ok man.”
I decide to go check on Stan who is
examining the barriers on the windows.
He sees me walking towards him so
he says, “What’s up?”
“Nothing, I’m just checking up on
everyone.”
“Why?”
“I just want to see how everyone’s
doing?”
“Hmmm.”
“What is it?”
“If I didn’t know you any better,
I’d say you were planning to murder someone.”
“What?! How could you say that?!”
“I’m just thinking about it and now
can you blame me with everything that’s going on?”
“I guess you’re right. I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. I think we need to be
more worried about that cat than any one of us.”
“I know. That thing really looks
like it’ll kill us.”
“And it doesn’t help that we’re
trapped here with no way out. It probably also wouldn’t help if we could make
an exit because it’ll kill us if we try to escape.”
“Right. I don’t even think we have
any tools we could use to escape.”
The reality of the situation sinks
into us as we both feel sadness and afraid at the same time.
“You should go listen to Arthur
play his songs,” I suggest, “It helps lighten the mood.”
“I don’t want to listen him play music,
I want to find a way out!”
“I know, but…”
Sighs
“I guess you’re
right. I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah. See you later.”
He walks away and I go to see Rita
who is messing with some electrical panel.
“I didn’t know that you knew how to
work these things,” I say as I sit next to her.
“I have an idea how to.”
“That’s pretty cool.”
“Is it really?”
“Yeah, it is.”
She giggles and smiles at me.
“So anyways, what are you trying to
do?”
“I’m trying to open the barriers,
but it’s kinda difficult. It seems like the cat did something to this.”
“Hmmm…well I believe you can fix
it, but won’t the cat try to kill us if we leave?”
“I don’t think so. It wasn’t one of
the rules she said.”
“Oh that’s right! So we do have a
chance of getting out of here!”
“Yeah! Besides, if she did try to
kill you,” she holds my hand, “I’ll protect you.”
I hold her hand with both of mine.
“I’ll protect you too.”
I feel the refreshing air of hope
and relaxation flow between us. I let go and get up as she is still holding my
hand.
“I’m going to see how everyone else
is doing, see if they need any help. Ok?”
She lets go of my hand as her smile
slowly fades.
“You sure you want to do that?”
“I’m positive. Everyone needs a
little help.”
“Ok…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back.”
“Ok!” she says with her smile back
on her face.
I
walk back to the rooms to find Iris putting nameplates on them.
“What’s are you doing?” I ask.
“Designating everyone’s rooms so we
won’t fight over them. I already talked to a few of them and they agree with
me.”
“Oh, ok. Here let me help.”
“Thank you.”
I start placing nameplates on the
doors and notice that not only do they have our names of our classmates on them
that are here and those that haven’t showed up, but they also have 8-bit
pictures of their full body.
“Should the rooms we’re using be
close together?” I ask.
“I think so, so we can all know
what each of us are doing at night.”
“That sounds smart, but what if
someone is going to-”
“It’s not going to come down to
that!”
She slams the nameplate on the
door.
“We aren’t going to let that damn
cat make us kill each other! We aren’t!”
Iris’ eyes seem to burn with hope
and determination, which in turn give me some just by looking at her. I nod at
her to agree and she nods back with a smile. We finish putting up the
nameplates as Peter walks into his room.
“You should probably try to cheer
him up. You know him the best,” she says.
“Ok. I will.”
I enter Peter’s room to see him
laying down in his room his head in his pillow.
“You alright man?” I ask him.
He flips himself around then he
says, “I’m fine, it’s just this situation…it’s fucked up.”
“I know right?”
“It’s really making me feel tired.
All I need is to rest and process it all and I’ll be back up in no time, ok? So
don’t worry about me.”
“Ok. I’ll give you your space.”
“Thanks.”
He flips back around into his bed
as I leave the room. I then go to check on Ella who is drawing pictures by the
front door.
“Hello.”
“Hey David,” she says with a smile.
I sit next to her.
“Whatcya drawing?”
“Just stuff for my comic. I need to
keep myself calm somehow.”
“Are you almost finished it?”
“Yeah and once we get out of here,
I’ll publish it for everyone to see and enjoy.”
“Can I have one of your first
copies?”
“Of course you can! I’ll even sign
it and put my number in it so we can be together.”
“Be together?”
“I mean hang out and do stuff, I
didn’t mean-”
“Do stuff?”
“Shut up! You know what I mean!”
she says while blushing, “Besides, you’re with Rita…aren’t you?”
“Not really. I mean we just started
talking again.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“So if you want to be together…uh.”
I move closer to her. We look at
each other for a few seconds before slowly moving our lips closer to each
other. Suddenly, something catches the corner of my eye that makes me turn my
head then jolt away.
“What the hell are you doing?!” I say
to Kat whose head was getting in between us.
“Oh! I just wanted to be in this
moment!”
“Get out of here!” screams Ella.
Kat bounces back and says, “Fine!
But I’ll get my kiss sooner or later!” then she speeds away.
I get up after that awkward moment.
“You’re leaving?”
“Yeah. I promised Rita I would go
back to see her. I’m not leaving because of her it’s just that-”
“Don’t worry about it David. I
understand. Besides, I feel better since you came here.”
“Oh, uh. Thank you.”
“No problem.”
“Oh one more thing. Did you know
Rita is good with electronics?”
“I did.”
“You did? I didn’t.”
“Yeah she fixed my phone for me
when it was completely broken.”
“Well she’s looking at some kind of
electrical panel to try to remove the hotel’s barriers.”
“That’s awesome of her. You should
definitely go check ok her so she can stay motivated. Now that’s something
you’re good at.”
“I guess you’re right. So, I’ll see
you later.”
“See ya!”
I go back to see Rita and it seems
like she hasn’t made any progress, but she is pleased that I came back.
Stan walks up to us and says, “Hey
you two, we’re having a meeting in the dining hall to discuss things.”
We agree to go with him and we find
everyone already there.
“So let’s go over everything we’ve
learned,” says Stan.
“There is no one else besides us in
this hotel,” says Arthur, “That cat thing probably killed them all and put
their bodies somewhere.”
Peter speaks up, “Has anyone
figured out who the mastermind doing this to us yet?”
“No, do you have an idea?” asks
Iris.
“I think I do and I think it’s one
of us!”
“What?!” I say.
“Think about it,” Peter continues,
“Iris found nameplates for our entire class and only our class. On top of that,
it has a full body picture of each of us on it. The cat also seems to know us
because of the way it speaks to us.”
“So who is it? Wait, who do you
think it is?” says Ella.
“We don’t have all the facts yet so
we just have to sit and wait for more clues to come in,” says Stan.
Peter crosses his arms and looks to
the side before saying, “I have my guesses, but nothing solid. So I’ll have to
agree with Stan.”
“I have to agree with him too,”
says a voice I’d rather not hear.
Kat sits on the table with us as if
she was with us the entire time.
“What are you doing here?” I ask
her.
“Oh I just wanted to get into the
conversation. Be a social butterfly you know? Besides, I will win no matter you
do!”
Kat runs out of the room laughing.
We stay silent for a while after what she said.
I then break up the silence, “I
think we should rest for today. Hopefully we can figure something out
tomorrow.”
Stan supports me, “David’s right,
look at the time.”
Despite not being able to see the
light outside or lack thereof, the clock still displays the right time.
“Ok,” says Peter as he leaves.
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” Iris says.
Everyone else goes to their room
including me and once I get to my room, I immediately fall asleep because of
everything that has happened today. I sleep the entire night without dreaming
and I wake the next day because of a knock at my door. I open the door to see
Stan.
“Hey David, we’re going to have
breakfast in the dining hall soon.”
“Really? Who’s making it?”
“I am of course!”
“You are? I didn’t know that you
could cook.”
We start walking towards the dining
hall.
“Of course I can! I can make
breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
“What about dessert?”
“Uh, I’m still working on that.”
We both laugh as we enter the
dining hall with everyone already there and breakfast on the table. I sit down
and gaze upon all the French toast, pancakes, and bacon.
“Alright everyone, let’s feast!”
proclaims Stan.
Everyone starts to dig in. Man, I
didn’t know Stan could cook this well! Everything is so delicious that I can’t
stop myself from eating!
“Hands off the food!” says Iris.
I turn around to see Kat taking
plate-fulls of food.
“They’re paws numbnuts! And a cat has to have
her fair share too!”
Kat takes her food and sits down
next to Rita, Ella, and I. She chows down on everything as I awkwardly try to
ignore her. After breakfast Kat is satisfied and disappears to do God knows what.
We thoroughly search the hotel for anything to help us, but we nothing new. We
regroup in the dining hall again to plan things out.
“Damn it!” Peter says as he slams
his fist into the table, “There’s nothing here!”
Kat appears out of nowhere, laughs at
us then says, “Of course there’s nothing here that can help you. I made extra
sure to do so.”
None of us decide to say anything.
“Anyways,” Kat continues, “You
should’ve prepared a murder plan by now because if I don’t see a corpse
tomorrow morning, I’ll make one myself!”
“No you won’t!” states Iris,
“You’re just bluffing so you can force us to kill each other!”
“Oh really? I’m bluffing?”
“Y-Yes! Yes you are!”
“Well we’re just going to see if
that’s true by tomorrow.”
Kat disappears in a puff of pink of
smoke and we decide to go back to our rooms to rest for tomorrow hoping that
she really is bluffing. We wake up the next morning, but before we make it to
the dining hall, Kat stops us by the entrance to the hotel.
“Today’s the day!” Kat proudly
proclaims, “IIIIIIIIIIT”S MURDER TIME! Or as I like to call it FUN TIME!”
“Wait what?!” says Arthur.
“That’s right! I wasn’t bluffing
when I told you that I would kill you if no one died by today.”
“Screw this shit!” Peter says as he
tries to run away.
“Uh-uh-uh!” Kat says as she moves
extremely fast to block him, “You run away and I choose you as the one to die.”
Peter walks back to us with his
head down and sweat running down his face.
“Now then,” Kat moves back in front
of us, “I choooose…you!”
Kat points at Rita.
“What?! Why me?!”
“Because I said so!”
Really?! That’s why?! Why the Hell
did it have to be her?!
“Now since I’m such a nice little
cat, I’ll give you the chance to kill me.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I’m confident that I can’t
be destroyed. So confident in fact that I will give you weapons with which to
kill me with. Follow me!”
Kat leads us to the gym room that
has a bunch of weapons on table in what I assume to be a bulletproof glass box.
Kat then gets into the box and beckons Rita to destroy her.
Rita
says, “Fine then. I will destroy you!”
She confidently walks towards the
cage, but I stop her.
“Rita!”
“Don’t worry David, I got this!”
Rita winks at me and enters the
cage and thinks about what weapon to use.
“She knows how to use guns and
other weapons David,” says Stan.
“What?” I say.
“I’ve seen her use them before when
we went to a gun range a few times.”
“Jeez, Rita really knows how to do
a lot of different things that I don’t know about.”
“Out of all of us, Rita has the
best chance to destroy that cat. It made a fatal mistake when it chose her.”
Stan smiles and the despair I felt
before is swept away.
“Go Rita!” I cheer, “Kill that
piece of junk!”
Rita smiles as we all cheer for
her. She then grabs all the melee weapons (sledgehammers, metal pipes, and
swords) and uses them on Kat. The swords shatter, the pipes bend, and hammers
bounce when they hit Kat who is standing still. Damn it! Nothing seems to work,
but at least she still has guns.
“Come on, kill me! I’m still
standing here without a scratch on me!”
Rita goes for the guns, but when
she shoots them at Kat, the bullets bounce off Kat and don’t even leave dents.
None of it works. The shotguns, rifles, not even the magnums can kill Kat!
“You only have one weapon left!
Make it count!” says Kat.
A grenade launcher is all that’s
left, one more weapon of hope. Rita picks it up and unloads all of the ammo on
Kat with each explosion covering Kat in black smoke. The last grenade gets the
box around them to shatter and then we wait for the last of the black smoke to clear.
Kat still appears to be intact, but she’s motionless, which makes us wait to
see if she’s still operational. Minutes seemingly pass by as we watch to see
what happens.
“What? Why are we all silent?” says
Kat who is still perfectly fine.
We are all in a state of shock and
terror at the reality that Kat can’t be killed.
“Now then,” Kat says as she pulls
out a switch, “It’s my turn!”
She presses a button and a chain
with a collar comes flying out the gym door and takes Rita away with the collar
wrapping around Rita’s eyes. She flies out the door while kicking and
screaming. I try to go after her, but the doors electronically lock and I can’t
manage to break through it.
“Rita!” we scream out as if it’ll
help bring her back.
“Now! Let’s give it evvvvverything
we’ve got!” Kat says with excitement, “IIIIIIT’s EXECUTION TIME!”
Music that I can only describe as
clue music starts to play as the lights in the gym dim and a TV monitor drops
down from the ceiling that shows us Rita locked into an electric chair. Kat
appears on the other side dressed as a lightning bolt and flips switch that
lights the room up and electrifies Rita. Even though I can’t hear her because
of the music, I can still feel her screams of agony and it kills me because I
can’t do anything. Kat then begins to flip more switches in the room which
causes the room to be even more lit up and in turn cause Rita more pain to the
point where her skin starts to bleed and fall apart. Kat continues to flip
switches in the room until Rita eventually blows up with pieces of her flying
everywhere. After it’s over, Kat turns everything off including the music, as
she wears a janitor outfit and starts to clean the room.
“Aww screw this!” she says as she
takes out a switch and blows up the room.
The TV then turns off and goes back
up. All of us are unable to react to what has just happened afterwards. We can
only take in the reality of Rita’s death and attempt to do something.
“YOU MONSTER!” I scream out loud,
“How could you do that to her?! WHAT THE FUCK did she ever do to you?!”
“Ah! I love it! All the sadness,
anger, and despair are so delicious! I truly hope that this has given you a
reason to kill one another and on that note, I shall see you all tomorrow. Oh,
my bad, I mean see you all minus one! Hahahahaha!”
Kat disappears and we are all left
in a state of complete despair. So much so that we don’t say anything and just
return to our rooms in complete silence. Rita…why did it have to be you? Why
did you have to die that way? Why? Why?
