Run: Legacy

Run VIII: The Divide

Cory walked into the house and walked upstairs when he saw Zoriana's lifeless body. "Z?" He asked when he looked at her. He then shook her a bit, but it was hopeless, she was gone. "No," he said slightly as his face started to water. He wiped away his tears and stood up to call July.

July arrived along with Miles, Roman, Yui, and Michael. "She's gone," Cory said before hugging Miles. "Well we can't do anything about that, we need to keep moving," July said, brushing off Zoriana's death. "What do you mean?" Cory asked seriously as July crossed her arms. "I mean that we don't have time to sit around and weep, Zoriana died, it happened, we need to move on," July said as Cory gave her a cold stare. Yui and Miles stood beside him while Roman and Michael stood beside July.

"You know, just because your best friend died that doesn't mean you get to be bitchy about everyone else," Cory said as July rolled her eyes. "He wouldn't be dead if Zoriana stayed with him," July said as Cory scoffed. "Maybe if he could put up a fight," Cory said as July slapped him. "Shut the fuck up," she said as she walked away, Roman and Michael followed her.

"I mean, my sister just died, and she doesn't even give a fuck," Cory said as Miles comforted him. He then looked at Yui who also had a consoling look. "Some people just aren't worth having around, I mean we have no reason to still be acquainted with them aside from these murders, even then, maybe we could just divide," Miles said as Cory eyed him. "Divide?" Cory asked and Miles nodded. "We don't need her, we can divide, it's not like we all need to stay together anymore anyways," Miles said and Cory nodded. "Yeah, you're right, maybe we should divide," Cory said as Yui's phone began to ring.

"Hello?" She said as she answered it while the other two stared at her. "Hello, seems like you three picked the wrong side," the killer said on the other end as the three looked at each other questioningly. "Truth is, you need July and Roman, but now that they aren't here, all three of you are easy picks," the killer said as Yui's face turned white. "Wait what?" She said shakingly as Cory placed his hand on her shoulder. "We need to run, now!" Miles yelled ad the three got up and ran.

Yui opened the front door when she was met with a stab to the stomach. She screamed as Miles hit the killer with his phone, cracking it. "We gotta go!" Cory yelled as the three ran up the stairs.

"I don't wanna die! I'm not ready to go!" Yui cried out as Cory tried to calm her. "Okay, you need to calm down, we need to figure out where to go," Cory said as she nodded. "Babe, maybe we can go over the balcony and take the ladder down," Miles said as Cory exhaled. "I hate fucking heights," he said when the door began to rattle. "No!" Yui yelled as she fell back against the wall, she started to gasp for air. "She can't breathe!" Miles yelled as Cory turned.

"Look, I know she's your best friend, but we need to go," Cory said as Miles shook his head. "We need to help her," Miles said as Cory pulled him up. "I don't want to lose my sister and the love of my life on the same night," Cory said as Miles swallowed. "Fuck, let's go," Miles said as Cory smiled.

Miles went down first as Cory followed, just before the killer broke in. "No!" Yui yelled as she looked into Cory's eyes, hopeless. He closed his eyes and continued down the ladder when he heard slashing and brutal, terrifying screams.

"Where the hell should we go?" Cory asked as Miles shrugged. "Maybe we could call July to come and pick us up, we need to overcome our differences," Miles said as Cory rolled his eyes. "Fine, let's go," Cory said as Miles took out his phone.
