"Okay, maybe we should check on July and Roman now," Zack said, picking up the phone, and Zoriana nodded. "Zack, you and Zori need to run fast!" July yelled, and the two looked at each other. "What happened?" Zack asked as Zoriana's eyes widened. "Behind you!" She yelled, and Zack looked back before he was met with a stab to the shoulder. The two got up and ran away.

The two ran up the stairs as it was closest to them, but the killer followed accordingly. Zack threw everything in his path at the killer to distract them. "See, now you're going to die!" The killer said, throwing a book away from them. The two then ran into a room and shut the door, also locking it.

"What can we do?" Zoriana asked, and he looked around. "Crawl into the vent, there might be a spider or a rat, but that's the least of our worries," Zack said, and Zoriana nodded. Zack helped her into the vent when the door began to rattle. "Grab my hand!" Zoriana yelled, and when he grabbed it, the killer came inside. She tried to pull him up, but the killer grabbed his leg, pulling him back down. "Zack!" Zoriana yelled. He kicked the killer off of him and looked at Zoriana. "I'll find a different exit!" He yelled, and she nodded, crawling away down the vent.

Zack got up as the killer did, too. "This will be an honor," the killer said, and Zack smiled. "I've heard that one before," he said, and the killer tilted their head. "Those pussys aren't like me," they said, raising their knife. They smirked down as Zack dodged it before kicking the killer down and running out of the room.

Zack ran down the stairs and over to the door. He opened it when he was met with a stab to the stomach by another killer. He pushed the killer back and closed the door. He then locked it. "In your other attack, I bet there weren't two killers," the other killer said, walking down the stairs. "You both will have the same ending," Zack said, and the killer said. "I beg to differ, now, this will be my ending," the killer said, and Zack smiled. "I think it needs a revision," he said as he ran over to the killer, pushing them down the stairs. He then continued to run back into the room he was in earlier.

He shut the door and locked it back before looking around. "Maybe I can climb to the vent," he said to himself as he dragged the dresser to it. The killer then began breaking the door, making a small hole to take his hand through. The killer then unlocked the door and opened it as Zack just barely made it to the vent.

The killer crawled into the vent and followed Zack, but he was faster. He made it to the other side and crawled out, but the other killer was on the other side. They stabbed Zack in the shoulder as he pushed the killer off and grabbed their knife.

"Okay, do you need to tag team over one person?" Zack asked as the two killers tilted their heads in sync. "You're a legacy, of course, we need two people to kill you, but don't even worry about it, now, you'll be a broken legacy," the killer said and Zack rolled his eyes. "Try me," he said as he turned and ran away, bit the killer was fast, tripping him. The killer then stabbed him in the back twice.

"Nice broken legacy," the other killer said, and they both began stabbing him repeatedly. He took gasps for air as they raised him to look at them. "Nice meeting ya Zack Boberman," the killer said before slitting Zack's neck, not deep enough to open his neck. He then dropped on the floor lifeless as the two killers wiped their knives in sync.

Roman and Juky arrived on the scene when they saw Zoriana holding someone. "Zoriana, where's Zack!" She yelled as they approached her when they looked down at Zack. "Wait, no, no, no," July said as she felt her airways tighten. "He... he's not," she tried to say as her airways tightened more. She fell back into Roman's arms, whose face was also getting watery. "No!" July yelled as she started crying viciously. "I'm so sorry," Zoriana said as they both glared at her. "You! You were supposed to help him! You were supposed to make sure you two were safe!" July yelled, and Zoriana looked down. "I'm sorry," she said, and Roman eyed her. "Just go," he said, and she nodded and left.
