Danganronpa Ultimate Stars 3: Despair's Last Hope (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5 - Part 1 - Daily Life

(Selina's POV until said otherwise!)

I don't sleep in these games. I've never slept since the first body hit the floor... Or stage in Freya's case.

I was never a good sleeper, but this game made me a horrible one. Why don't I rest? Simple, the mastermind is out to get me. I was foolish enough to give myself a day of rest shortly before receiving that disease, so now I won't take any risks. 

I checked the time. Five am. I normally eat early to avoid running into people or making a fuss. 

But surprisingly, when I walked through the hall I ran into two people. The not so surprising part was who. Milo and Nico. What's those two's deal? Is it coincidence they formed such a bond, similar to how Nathan and Archer did? I'll never understand it. Anyways, Milo was standing at his friend's door, frantically apologising.

 "And y'know what? It's totally ok if you don't forgive me! What I said to you was fucking awful!"

 "Milo... I already said it's ok."

 "I know, but-"

Milo paused, noticing I was there. I sighed "Don't mind me, just getting breakfast." I walked past the two, but then I felt a grab on my arm. I turned and saw it was Nico "H-How about I make breakfast? Just for the three of us?" Milo gave him a confused glare "You said it was too early for breakfast...?" Nico laughed "Yeah but... We're all up so we may as well!" 

I stared at him. As far as I knew, Nico had zero cooking experience. Even if it was something as simply as toast, I had my doubts about why he was offering this...

 "Nope." I said simply. He stared blankly for a few seconds, giving me time to release my arm and head to the cafeteria. I sat down and ate, thinking about what had just happened.

Why did Nico offer to cook? He told Milo it was too early and barely has any cooking abilities... I smell a rat.

He soon entered the room, and seemed to notice immediately that I didn't have a drink "Heh, aren't you thirsty? I'll get you something to drink." And he left before I could tell him no. What was up with him? Is there any reason he'd want to make me food and drink..?

Wait a minute... He wants to give me a drink... Vincent Kyle did something similar...

Octavia had told me many things about her brothers' game, and one of the killers poisoned their victim's drink. This resulted in them coughing up blood... Then dying. 

I felt myself froze and barely even noticed Nico coming back in with my "water"

For all this time, I lived in fear of Mary and the Mastermind. Those are the people with grudges... I never once realised that these people would probably hate me as well...

He smiled and sat down "Drink up Selina!" He told me. I paused, then smiled "Ok, but can I ask you something?" I muttered. He gave a small nod. "Can you drink the water first?" I asked. I was fear spark in his eyes "W-Why do you want me to?" He replied, a little too quickly for my liking. I smiled sweetly "Well, I'm starting to miss my darling sister and she would alwaaaays take a sip of any drink given to me before I drank it. So be a doll and take a little sip!" 

It wasn't a full lie. I made Sarah try any drinks given to me for the same reason I was making Nico do it now, checking for poison. 

Nico's hands shook "I... I don't care what your sister did. That's a s-stupid tradition anyway..." I glared at him "It's just water Nico! ...right?" I held onto his wrist and stared at him. His face had nothing but fear in it. "I know what you did snake freak. It's because I'm a Blithers, isn't it? You're upset about your freak of a brother and think killing me will make it aaaaall ok." I tightened my grip. He was shaking like crazy now. I could see the sweat roll down his face and almost pitied the boy. Almost. "Well here's the truth Mr Ular: no matter what you do... No matter what you say... No matter who you kill... Your brother is dead. And you're never going to see him again..." 

I was going to continue, but I heard other people coming down the hallway. I have him one last glare. "You got lucky this time, snake freak. But just remember, I'm a Blithers..." I smiled

 "...I know how to make someone feel miserable."

A/N

So I'd say Hiatus is pretty much over for now, and I'm gonna be rewriting this chapter. I'll keep the basic plot the same, but some things will change so yeah!
