The Elevator [A Zodiac Story]

Chapter 4- Floor 2

[TW: Blood]

~VIRGO POV~

We all waited in the elevator for a minute and the elevator doors finally opened on the 2nd floor. I was the first to step out of the elevator and into a small room with a circular wooden table. There were about 12 chairs placed around and a small piece of paper was in the center of the table. 

I walked over to the table and the others followed right behind me. 
"RUSSIAN ROULETTE," read the paper. 
"Fuck. I'm out," I heard Libra say. 

"Guys there's directions," Capricorn replied. I looked down at the paper and started reading.

What the fuck. Did this mean one of us was going to die? And who is "him?" Like what in the living fuck is this.

"Guys, I think we actually need to play this game," Cancer piped in. Scorpio nodded and looked at the rest of us. "This 'him' dude might attack us if we don't, so I think it's best if we play."

The rest of us sighed and sat down at the table. 
"Who wants to go first?" Taurus asked. 

"ME!" Aries yelled and everyone stared at her like she was crazy. "What? There's like a 1% chance that i'll die." She spun the cylinder of the gun, held it to the side of her forehead, and pulled the trigger.

I heard a sigh of relief throughout the room and Aries passed the gun to Taurus who was sitting right next to her. 

Taurus followed the same exact steps as Aries and held the gun to his head. The room went silent and he pulled the trigger. Thankfully nothing happened. He passed it to Gemini who, after spinning the gun, put it to her head. About a minute passed and she hadn't clicked the trigger yet. I looked up at her and she was staring right next to me.. at Leo. I coughed weirdly trying to end the awkward silence.

Gemini took a deep breath in and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. I was mentally screaming in my head. She had waited all that time for nothing to fucking happen. HJHJWFGJHGWKHEFHBHJFWJHEFJHFGWGJHFVJVWIUEVJHHBSJHEGFFFFFBSN [A/N lol- don't mind me].

Everyone kept passing the revolver around and eventually it was my turn. I spun the cylinder and breathed in slowly.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I just realized how scared I was. Out of all the dangerous things i've done, this is definitely the scariest. 

"Everything's gonna be alright. Don't worry," I heard a soft voice say. I turned to my right and Leo was looking straight at me with a slight smile showing. She has always been there for me during my hardest times. I hate to admit it, but I kind of like her. I just don't know if she shares the same feelings. 

I nodded back to her, returning the smile, and clicked the trigger. A large smile appeared on my face as nothing happened. I passed the gun to Libra and leaned back in my chair. 

~LIBRA POV~

It was finally my turn.. yay. I put the gun up to my head and pressed on the trigger. Right at the same moment, Scorpio shoved me out of my chair. Everyone's eyes widened with fear as the bullet shot right at my hand. 

FUCK. 

My hand had a largeass bullet sticking out of it and my palm was bleeding like crazy. There was blood all over the area I was sitting at and I was wincing with pain. I tried to hold in my pain but the injury was stinging badly. I was lying on the ground covered in my red blood breathing very deeply. Aries and Scorpio ran up to me and helped me up. Aries removed the bullet from my hand and squeezed on my wound trying to stop anymore blood from escaping. 

Many people were still confused on what happened and how Scorpio somehow knew that the bullet was gonna shoot. 

Scorpio removed the cotton headband she was wearing and wrapped it around my hand. I thanked both of them and stood up from the chair. The silence of everyone was making me feel weird so I turned to Scorpio and asked her the obvious question.

"How did you know-?" 

"Know what..?" she asked, although I think she knew. 
"How'd you know the gun was gonna shoot?"
Scorpio sighed, "I don't really know.. it was my instinct I guess." I looked down at my hand and then up to everyone else. "Did we complete the challenge?"

"I don't know..," Capricorn answered. "If this doesn't work than we can't do anything. I don't want another person getting hurt, and even if we wanted to play again, there's no more bullets."

We all looked around hopeless and a couple seconds later, the elevator doors started to slowly open. Although my hand was still hurting a lot, I felt happy that I was still with my friends alive. Together we stepped in the elevator, pressing the 3rd floor button that appeared, and got ready for the next deadly task. 

A/N Woohoo! Finished!!! Lol Sorry for not updating sooner. I have a lot of school work and had a loss of motivation, but here it is! Btw, tysm for 500 views! This is a super big deal for me and I couldn't be more grateful<3!
