Chapter 61 - September 3 (Part 21)

12:00 PM - 6 hours until the Sundeen Fest.

Logan was the Lookout at the library. He was on the second floor looking out the window. Lyla was translating the book into English while Joey was protecting her. They were also on the second floor. Makoto and Holly walked down to the first floor. They sat down at a table. Makoto put his head down.

HOLLY: What's wrong Makoto?

MAKOTO: It's just that, Riley's headed here. We gotta end this, I just can't believe, it's all actually happening...

Makoto put his head up and put his hands to his side.

MAKOTO: I don't know, Holly, can we actually win this.

Holly put her hand on Makoto's.

HOLLY: Makoto, don't talk like that. We've came this far. It's too late to turn back.

MAKOTO: I kn-

HOLLY: Makoto, You were the one who caught Riley and exposed him as the killer. You were the one who made the announcement to the entire village exposing the mayor. You made this possible.

Makoto and Holly held hands.

HOLLY: If it weren't for you, Sundeen would be the same as it always is.

There was a silence throughout the entire libraryz

MAKOTO: Holly...

HOLLY: Makoto...

They slowly leaned towards each other for a kiss. Suddenly, Logan screamed and panicked.

LOGAN: RILEY'S HERE! HE'S AT THE FRONT DOOR! HE'S ABOUT TO WALK IN!!

JOEY: SHIT!

LYLA: Oh god...!!

HOLLY: ....!!!!

MAKOTO: ..........

Everyone ran from where they were. They ran as if they had a plan. Riley opened the door.

RILEY: It's quiet in here.

The library was dark, looked deserted, empty, dead. Riley walked through it. He walked through aisles, to the right of him, behind the shelf, he heard running footsteps.

RILEY: Who's there!?

Riley ran to go check if anyone was there. No one was there.

RILEY: Odd...

Riley continued on walking. Suddenly, the entire shelf next to Riley, fell towards him.

RILEY: What the?!

The books fell on Riley. A few seconds later, hr got up from them. He dusted himself off.

RILEY: Great, now my clothes are dirty. Someone is definetly in here.

Riley pulled out his knife, with the intent to kill. He turned to every direction, looking to see if anyone was there. Suddenly, he saw a figure run from aisle to aisle from the other side of the library. Riley ran towards that direction.

RILEY: Enough with the fooling around, come out and face me!

MAKOTO: The only one fooling around, is you.

The voice was on the stairway. Riley looked up to see who it was. Makoto and Riley locked eyes.

RILEY: Makoto Masami, it was your brother that I kil-

MAKOTO: I'm tired of playing these games Riley. You talk all this mess as if you can do something. Only thing you can do is coward.

RILEY: ...... are you trying to be toxic, none of what you said was true. I worked hard to get to where I am today!!!

MAKOTO: Then fight me! Right here! Right now!

RILEY: You asked for it!

Riley ran towards Makoto with the knife in his hand. Makoto ran up the stairs, Riley chased him.

The final battle begins.
