I finally wake up. How long have I been out for? It seems that everyone else is waking up at the excact same time. I look down and see a scar on my knee. It's basically healed up. Weird. We're somehow in the excact same place. Wouldn't this be the time for Eva to begin ranting about books and all that? I'm shocked but happy she isn't already running that damn mouth of hers. Soon, the speaker arrives to inform us of the situation.

''So, it seems that we played a round of Natural Disaster Survival during this. Thankfully, most of you are still alive, and we've healed up your injuries before creating a different but identical place for our game to continue taking place in.'' Most!?!?!?!

 ''Sadly, Aria, Thomas, Anna, Eva, Ash and Amethyst are dead because of this. Ugh, why does it all have to go wrong? None of then were the murderer though. However, for compensation, we're letting you vote three people out now. It hopefully shouldn't be that hard. If you get it wrong though, the murderer kills 3 people. Begin your discussion.''  

Fuck.

''Are you shitting me? A bunch of people are dead? And if we do get to the point where the murderer kills 3 people, that'll be 12 deaths for no reason!'' Annie is understandably upset right now. God, we're down to 32 people left at this point, and if  6 more deaths happen, it'll be a mere 26.

Alec seems quite uneased. ''Well, if we don't want more pointless deaths, we better start discussing all over again. We should probably think back to what happened earlier, where we discussed about Mikah.'' Mikah... I look over at Ezra, who still seems pretty shaky after their friend was executed.

''Well, Jean-Claude and Riley both defended Mikah. Maybe they can be declared innocent for now.'' Veronica seems hopeful to help.

Jian seems doubtful. ''Are you sure? They could have just been trying to cause a stir! I'm especially suspicious of that Riley. And even Jean-Claude surprisingly switched sides way too easily. I simply just can never trust things like this.''

''You say it as if that almost automatically rules out Nikolai for his persistent accusations. I mean, maybe Rosalie, who hates him so much, wrote ''T'' to signify ''Thundercunt''. Of course, others such as Alec and Ashlen had also joined him in accusing the poor soul, and it was mainly started from Fillipe.'' Minji is trying to get all of her ideas out at once.

''I guess that is true, but how do we know someone else wasn't just watching and just simply radiating energy to get everyone against Mikah? You don't have to be shouting to manipulate people to get on your side, ma'am.'' Mila scares me a bit, if I'm being honest here...

Zahrah scoffs. ''As if that's even possible. But you guys will do anything to throw each other under the bus at this point, right?'' I guess that's simply what we should expect from each other nowadays. We're all monsters.

''Don't get feisty with me. You'll see the truth someday, sweetheart. I guess I expected too much from some of you. I hope you learn your lesson soon.'' That was low key threatening, but go off, I guess. I definitely do not think I can trust her.

''I'm still unsure about Odette, because I'm pretty sure we all heard Rosalina shout her name before her death.'' Scarlett looks comically confused about what Thiago's saying as he continues. ''And, obviously, we have the situation about Lukey dying. Like, would she really have heard nothing. I believe Riley is suspicious too, but it's just the same for her.'' 

''This is a lot to take in right now. Does anybody want to discuss? Or should we all just take a little break to rest our minds? Everyone needs a break sometimes.'' I'm not sure if I like where Christy is going here. We should discuss as much as possible, obviously. We can't figure out the killer otherwise.

"Fuck no." Jane quickly speaks up.

"Why not?" Jamila asks.

"Because we have better things to do." Ally sighs.

Of course, that dreaded sound rings out once more. It is time for us to vote again. Three people will be executed... I hope it isn't me. I hurriedly vote for Mila. She's giving off a threatening vibe, and I sure as hell do not like that. The speaker comes back to finish. ''So, I hate to break it to you, but all 3 of your conclusions were incorrect. In third place in this vote is Riley. Second place is Odette. And finally, the one who got the most votes... Mila! You will be punished accordingly.'' We watch the three of them head into the dreaded chamber. Nobody can even do anything before Riley's head explodes for unknown reasons. Well, he got the painless death... Suddenly a sword flies into Odette's chest, leaving her gasping there for a minute before she collapses. Finally, Mila waits before something begins raining from the ceiling, leaving burns all over her body. She screams and tries using Odette as a cover, but she can't fit under her. She finally dies after a few minutes.

''This isn't good...'' Dan pouts. ''Now that we've killed 3 innocent people, we're going to have to find 3 dead bodies tonight!'' It really seems that this killer is smarter than I hoped. Haneen is comforting Mateo and I just want to head back to bed, so I do just that. Who could the murderer even be? I kind of suspect Halona nowadays, because they have seemed like someone nobody would want to vote out, but what if that's all fake? 

After the lights turn off, I stare at my door the entire night. I don't want to take risks any more. Once the lights are on, I exit the room, nervous of who the three deaths will be.

I soon hear screaming, and run to find what the commotion is about. I soon see it... Ally, Jane, and Jamila are all in a bloody pile. Oh god... Can this be real? Once we've gathered, the speaker returns, in noticeably higher audio quality.

''The murderer has killed Ally, Jane, and Jamila! Who does the investigator believe is the one behind these deaths? Well, that's nobody! Because they're dead!'' Oh my god, the investigator is gone too? Who was it?

"You gotta be fucking kidding me." Coralie grumbles.

Fayola shrugs. "To be fair, they didn't add much anyways."

Veronica inturrupts us. ''Wait, I'm just saying here, do we have that good of a reason to trust Arielle, really? All that Alec said was that she 'Tried to help', and I doubt they have an alibi. She and everyone else at Viola's room except me and Zahrah left before Charlotte did, and who knows, maybe the mastermind is trying to help her stay alive by simulating an earthquake to kill Eva and Thomas, who clearly suspected her?'' That's surprising... I never thought about her too much.

''What? I mean, maybe it is her... Maybe you're right... But still! How do we know you didn't go back to your room with Zahrah, but once she was in her room, you went back out and killed Charlotte? You're suspicious as well. Not saying I can really defend Arielle at this point. We can't assume though.'' I'm not sure what Alec is even believing at this point, but maybe he's right.

We watch as a monster truck falls from the ceiling and squashes Arielle. Well, that was fast.

As the lights flicker out, I leave the table and head downstairs. We really don't have many of us left, I'm surprised I've survived this far-

Thud

Something hard colliding with my skull causes me to immediately fall over. I feel more impact all over my body as someone keeps swinging what I think is some sort of mallet. Well, I did assume the killer had some other weapons somewhere after all, but is this really how I have to die right after being shocked to be alive? The irony is real. They keep swinging and striking me all over, on my ribs, my legs, my neck, they really just want me to die, don't they? The pain finally begins fading out as my consciousness does the same, but the last thing I hear is a hauntingly familiar laugh.
