ROYALTY

The massacre

     As the friend group began to walk into the hotel they noticed a couple of things. There was blood in random places and the silence. They looked at each other as they all headed upstairs to look for eri while niragi headed out to look for people.

     "What happened here" said usagi as they walked upstairs only to be met by bloody hallways with no body to be seen.

     As they walked into Eri's hotel room all they saw was blood and the room completely destroyed. They looked around for any sign that she was here during the accident, but there was nothing.

     "She's gone" said arisu as he kicked the bed. "We left her alone and now all this.."
 
    Before he finished his sentence he heard talking coming from outside the room. He walked over to the balcony and looked down to see people and bodies all by the pool.
 
    "There's people" yelled arisu as he ran out of the room and towards the pool. Everyone followed behind except for chishiya who continued to look through the room.
 
    "ERI,ERI,ERI" Yelled the group as they looked through the bloodied up people and bodies. As they looked around they spotted her completely soaked in blood sitting on a bench nearby.
 
   "Eri...are you okay?" Asked kuina as they all walked over to her and crouched around her to check on her.
 
   "I- they were helping me to my room...I looked down for 1 second then, BOOM" She said looking up at them. "All around"
 
   "They...exploded?" Said arisu as they noticed her bandages were the only part of her which wasn't soaked in blood.
 
   She shook her head as niragi walked up to them and sat next to her.

     "They were lasered down" said niragi as he wiped his hands clean. "All random people"
 
   "1 HOUR LEFT" said a booming voice all through the sky
 
   As they all stood there and began to process this horrible incident. Just as they were about to ask another question chishiya came and walked up to eri and whispered something in her ear. Her eyes widened as a smirk grew on his face.

    "why don't you tell us your real name Eri" said chishiya as made her stand up.

     "Real name?" Questioned arisu as they all stood up and backed away from her. "What do you mean.."
 
   "I promise I didn't mean for it to be like this" she whispered.
 
   "SAY IT" yelled chishiya scaringly calm.
 
   "SUGURU ERI" she yelled as tears began to fall down her face.

     "Why would you lie about your last name?" Said usagi as she moved next to arisu who was clearly upset.
 
   "Because, that's my last name...my sisters name" said niragi quietly as he looked up at eri crying.
 
   "You said you were looking for your brother....you said you were half siblings...you said he never came back...WAS THAT ALL A LIE" yelled arisu as he pushed her back.

     "Never came back???...you ran away" said niragi as he looked at her "mom and dad worried day and night trying to find you"
 
   "Everything you said...was a lie" said kuina as she back away from her too.

     Eri began to cry more as she fell on her knees.
 
   "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" She cried as she looked down.

     "Your name is pretty special isn't it" said chishiya as he crouched down to her level. " Eri...meaning, blessed with reason"

     Niragi looked down at his sister teary eyed and with so much hatred that it seemed if they weren't there he would have probably killed her.
 
   "I know your reason" said chishiya as he began to rip off her bandages to reveal scars and a tattoo of a card.
 
   "FINE..." she said standing up wiping off her face. "I AM THE QUEEN OF DIAMONDS" she said yelling at them.
 
   They stood there in awe for a moment at they looked at their phones to realize there was only 30 minutes left. Niragi looked at his sister in disgust as she began to talk.

     "BUT I NEVER RAN AWAY...DAD KICKED ME OUT BECAUSE HE FOUND OUT I WASNT HIS...I WASN'T HIDING...I WAS HERE...I'VE TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO END THI GAME MYSELF BUT I CAN'T....THAT'S WHY I LIED BECAUSE I KNEW IF YOU KNEW MY PREVIOUS LIFE YOU WOULD HESITATE TO KILL ME" she yelled as handed niragi her gun.

     "Wh..what" said arisu as he looked at her.

     "That's the end of the game...I have to die in order for everyone to go back...but he has to kill me or else I won't die" she said as she put the gun in his hand and aimed it at her head. "So do it...kill me"
 
   They all stood around completely shocked as niragi stood there aiming the gun at her head as tears rolled down his face.
 
   "There has to be another way" said usagi as she looked at arisu and tried snapping him out of his little trance.

     "No...looks at your phones...time is going faster...you're down to 5 minutes now...it's not gonna wait for you..." said eri as she looked at her brother.
 
   "Do it...DO IT...DO IT" She repeated as niragi wiped his face and looked at her.
 
    "5.."

     "Dad lived with that regret for the rest of his life...and so did I" said niragi

     "4..."

     "I forgave you guys the second I walked out that door"
 
   "3..."
 
   "I love you..." said niragi as the loaded the gun.

     "2..."

     "WAIT N-" Said arisu as he tried to stop niragi. But he was too late. The sound of an gun shot resonated through the air as their vision went black.
