Run: Legacy

Run V: Rule of the Requel

"Listen, everyone, there are rules, specific ones, that we must follow in request. Rule number one is never go alone. That's how you die. Rule number two is, it's always someone you know, rule number three is, LGBTQ people always survive, at least the first time around," Zoriana said to the other five, and they nodded. "That means Adam, Malik, and Cory, you're all automatically safe, as for us three gals, we have to watch out," Zoriana said to Carly and Justine, and they both nodded "We all need to stay safe, at all costs, meaning we have to follow the rules, stick together, don't trust anyone unless you know for sure that you can, understood?" Zoriana said, and the other five nodded.

July drove down the road, looking for Roman. She didn't plan on asking any questions. "There he is," she said, opening her door. She had her gun on her waist, arming herself. "Hey!" She said, and Roman turned around. "Where the hell have you been!" She yelled, and he rolled his eyes. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy," he said, and she tilted her head. "I wouldn't kill anyone, I couldn't even protect my boyfriend, neither of them, and everyone seems to think that I could do something so, gruesome," he said and she crossed her arms. "I don't want to believe that it's you, I really don't, but the evidence against you is piling up," she said, and he scoffed. "You think it's me too? Holy shit," he said, and she turned around and then looked back at Roman. "You're right. You wouldn't hurt a fly, but you need to stay with me and help me find the culprits," she said, putting her hand on Roman's shoulder. "Don would want me to take care of you, even if he tried to kill me, but he cared for you so much, come on," she said, and he nodded.

"Hey Cory, I have to go to work, go over to Adam's or Malik's, and stay safe," Zoriana said, and Cory nodded. "You know the rules, Cory, you have to make sure you go over to one of their houses, whichever one you trust the most, I can't lose another family member," Zoriana said and Cory smiled. "Don't worry about me, Z. I'm going to leave right now," he said, and she smiled. "Great, I'll pick you up in about two hours," she said, and he nodded.

Cory didn't trust Adam or Malik. He didn't trust anyone but Zoriana, so he decided that he was safer at the house, alone. He grabbed some snacks and went upstairs. He closed his door and locked it. He also had a knife beside him to protect him. He was on his phone, playing games when he received a call. He thought about answering it to figure out who it was, but he decided to send a text message. 'Who is this' he sent, and the person replied fast. 'Your mother, I miss you, Cory,' the person said, and he got the call again. "Hello, mom?" He asked when he answered it, and the voice snickered. "This isn't your mom, Cory," the voice said, and he rolled his eyes. "I don't know how I fell for that. I don't know how I fell for that. Oldest trick in the book." He said, and he was about to hang up. "Wait, no," the voice said, but he hung up anyway.

He opened up his window to check how far up he was, and there was no way he'd make it all the way down without significantly hurting himself. He closed his window and locked it, he then grabbed his knife and looked at the door, which was the killer's only way in. He then heard someone coming up the stairs, he checked the cameras through his phone but they all seemed to have either been destroyed or sabotaged. He turned off his phone and he heard his door rattle, then it started to shake. He looked around and thought about using his covers and pillows to soften the fall. He opened his window and threw them out to make a soft landing. He then took a deep breath and jumped out, landing on the spot he made which broke his fall. He then called the police and went to hide until they arrived, considering he didn't have a car to hide in.

July and Roman showed up on the scene. "Every time I see you, you have someone new on your side," Cory said and July smiled. "This killer doesn't hold back, you said they were in your house?" July asked and Cory nodded. "Stay in the car with Roman, I'll check it out," July said and Cory nodded. She walked inside but didn't see anything and walked back out. "Nothing" she mouthed to Roman and Roman nodded. "You have a friend you can stay with?" Roman asked and Cory shook his head. "Not a friend I can trust," Cory said and Roman nodded. "Well you can stay with me and July however long you need to," Roman said and Cory nodded.
