Runner (Quacknoblade)

Chapter 3: Already?!

Quackity's POV

"You sick bastard what have you done to our families!" yelled a man. They all were rioting in the front entrance of the school of where we first started. "Let us out we need to go back to them!" A woman yelled. They all banged and tried to open the door. Techno and I were standing in the back watching this all unfold. I whistle quietly, "What a shit show," I said scratching the back of my head.

Techno let out a hum, I look around and the guards were no where to be found. I then hear the intercom start up, "Hello~" the voice said. "You! Let us out of here!" A man yelled. "Ah, ah, ah no can do... But there is one way to get out of here," he said. "Tell us please!" A woman begged. He snickered, "You have to kill someone in order to leave. If you want more details then meet us in the gym," he said cutting off the intercom.

They all froze when they let the words sink in. "Kill?" A woman whimpered. "What kinda sick game is this!" A woman yelled. "A game of survival," I replied. All turned their eyes to me, then a man stormed to me. "Do you know what the fuck is going on?!" He yelled. "Well he did mention in the beginning that only 2 of us will remain. Soo~ I'm just going on a whim here," I replied rolling my wrist. "How the fuck are you so calm?!" He yelled. "He said he was giving us motivation, clearly you guys fell for it. None of the shit he showed you was real," I replied.

"How would you know!" A woman yelled. I shrugged my shoulders and turned my back to head to the gym. When the man before attempted to grab me. "You litt-!" He was stopped in the mits of his tracks by Techno grabbing his hand and squeezing it. He then pushed the man away from me, he shook his hand trying to nullify the pain. "Keep your hands to yourself," Techno growled. He then turned his back and walked with me.

We made it to the gym and the others followed suit soon after. The man and 3 of the guards were there as well. "Why hello there! So glad you all made it," he said waving to us. "Just tell us what's going on," a man said angerly. "Well like I said before, in order to leave you must kill somebody," the masked man said. I tilt my head, "You're not the same man from the beginning are you?" I asked. "Correct is right!" He said.

"Good eyes, you have there!" He complimented. I can tell he was staring intently at me. I then shoot him a glare back, "And what happens if we kill somebody?" I asked. "Whoever is the blackened has to get away with murder by going through a trial. If they managed to get away without being caught then they may go free," he said. "What about the rest of us?" A woman asked. "The penalty for getting it wrong is death," he commented.

"As you can see your sweet beloved families are in danger, don't you want to save them?" He asked. Everyone in the room grit their teeth, no words were spoken. I then held on to Techno's sleeve and trailed my hand to his. I then caress it, I want him to have some reassurance. "Well I hope to give you guys some time to uh- think about it," the man laughed walking off the stage.

I then get a sudden hunch to go back upstairs, so I decide to follow it. I guide Techno out of the gym away from everyone and go back to the incinerator. I remember the faces of that man and woman, the fact that they carried a huge bag. It looked like it could fit a body and one of the 41 of us who made it, is missing. So I'll try my chances, we make it to the incinerator and I don't see the bag.

I let out a hum, "Let's search around here, when you find a large black trash bag. Call me," I said to Techno. He raised an eyebrow but still nodded his head departing from me. I started searching classrooms, the bathrooms, anywhere and everywhere I could go that wasn't locked. Some of the classrooms were locked but I met a classroom that I opened that was now locked. I let out a hum and mark the room in my mind.

I look around to see if I can find something to break it down. I find a fire hydrant, grab it and begin to break down the door. After a few tries I managed to open it and what I found would shock me to my very core.....
