Escape The Night Season 5: The Delamont Carnival

Chapter 22: Scarring Swords- Part 1

Author's Note: Hey, guys! So, as you know, we are going to find out who got revived and also, this is actually original in most ways besides the death (I know you are all like 'Hallelujah!') with the artifact discovery and cleansing and stuff. So, I hope that you enjoy this segment. But, enough talk, let's get on with the chapter.

Your Author, Marbella. <3

Valentina's POV:

We are 7 hours into our night at Delamont and there are still three to go before sunrise, where we all get brutally murdered because we didn't cleanse the artifacts and save this hellhole.

And we couldn't even get started on finding this next one yet because the person Oli revived hasn't entered the lounge yet.

"Honestly, this is just a waste of time. We should kill each other and we're just sitting ducks. I told you, if we weren't bringing back Megan, we should have discarded the advantage." Zach fumed, acting like we just killed somebody in front of him.

Why is he so obsessed with the concept of us murdering each other when the person we want dead is him?

Lia: 'So, not only am I still infatuated with Gear- and I'm probably gonna ask him out at the end of all of this- Zach's being a little shit about us not bringing back Megan. Listen, it was Oli's choice, not yours; get used to it!'

"The only reason we didn't bring her back is that she was useless when she was still alive and she's only just going to be even more useless and probably die immediately." Lia ranted, nearly whacking Lana in the face with her hand as it flew outwards.

"That's actually a great point, Lia," I chimed in, hoping to settle this debate so the animosity would fade when whoever Oli brought back came into the lounge.

"We need the strongest people moving forward closer to the end of the night and until then, we need to make wise decisions. Bringing Megan back wouldn't be a wise choice."

"Just shut up, will you?" Zach muttered, his head dropping into his hands.

Thank God the conversation ended there.

And then, golden light filled the lounge door.

And Lizzie walked in.

Wait... Oli brought back Lizzie!

"LIZZIE!" Me, Gear, Lia, and Lana shouted as she walked into the lounge.

She looked like she had just pulled an all-nighter, but... what are you supposed to look like when you come back from the dead?

We all raced over and hugged her, Oli included. She obviously hugged us back before getting used to the fact she was alive again, whilst Oli explained what was going on and why she was here again.

Lizzie: 'So, Oli explained that whilst I was dead, we found these two keys that opened the box we found when we were fighting the Un-named Bandit and they could bring somebody back from the dead. Oli got voted as the chosen one and brought me back. But the fact he chose me over all the other people that died just makes me so happy that I have another chance to get out of here.'

"OK, finally! It took you long enough to get here. Now we can start the seventh murder plan." Zach mocked, obviously being sarcastic.

"I'm not even gonna ask how he's still alive." Lizzie retorted, looking around.
