Metanoia Book 1

Chapter 9. A Watery Day Part 2

Hopeful Desert Night (Midnight)

After checking the whole house and not being able to find Nano, she chooses to go outside again. I never thought Nano would be hit so quickly in the game, and who would even do such a trick? She thought since the only evidence she found was in the kitchen that was still a little wet on the floor. So Midnight's theory was: Nano did come to the house and was preparing our tea and snacks, when suddenly someone must have snuck in and attacked her while she was busy. That must be what happened! Now the question is, who could this person be?

Midnight came outside and was on her way back to Heart to bring back the bad news she just discovered. Suddenly she saw something coming towards her, so she dodged and noticed that it was a beam of water. She looked around to see where the water came from but saw nothing. So she tried to walk again. Again very shortly another beam of water was coming towards her. This time she saw where it came from and saw it came from the entrance area. But again she saw no one there. Ooh, they hiding somewhere Midnight thought and began to run a little to always be on the move.

But to Midnight's surprise, the beam was still able to come towards her even though she was moving all the time. This was when she had the idea of who it could be, which she didn't find fair. The person who was shooting had clearly a good understanding of aiming and had been training to hit people who are even moving. She could only think of three people that could be this good at aiming. Heart, Moon, and- another beam came snapping Midnight out of her thoughts and had to dodge again.

This was starting to annoy Midnight so she tried harder to find the person. But in the end, it was no use, when she finally found out where the person was it was too late. Moon got her final hit before Midnight could even get her water gun aimed correctly. "COME ON NOT FAIR MOON!" Midnight complained, looking down at her now red circle. Moon gave a small giggle holding the gun close to her. Damn it, you gonna get it next time for sure you little camper... Midnight thought, giving a 'sweet' smile toward Moon who clearly understood it wasn't that sweet as she tried to make it. And from that point, she also understood one thing about Midnight. She can't accept losing a game, which kinda scared her.

But defeat was defeat and Midnight was on her way to the meeting hall giving small groaning noises here and there. Clearly a bad loser.

Four down, seven to go!

Mizuki's Lullaby (Dreamy)

Dreamy finally got herself up from the hole and was on her way to the meeting hall entrance which was on the other side of the building. When she came there she noticed Midnight coming towards the building as well. Dreamy looked down and noticed that Midnight's circle was red as well. She then decided that she would wait for her so they could walk in together. "Hey, Midnight I see someone also got you ay?" Dreamy said, waving at her. Midnight gave a small hello and continued walking inside. Dreamy then remembered what kind of person Midnight was when it came to games and just shrugged her shoulders and followed her inside.

They were greeted by two people sitting at the table drinking tea. Dreamy's eyes widened when she noticed Nano. "Oh, so you were eliminated, my theory was right once again and I see Fanny's here as well." Midnight said, still a little grumpy. Dreamy walked up to Nano "Nano who did it?!" Dreamy said ready to hunt down that person who got her. Nano took a sip of her tea before she decided to respond "Well I would be careful with those words, the person that got me was your own teammate Rosemary" Nano said looking back at Dreamy. Dreamy went quiet and just sat down right next to Nano.

Midnight took a seat next to Fanny and they started their own conversations, about their eliminations. They both came to the same conclusion, they were not fitted for water guns.
