Run: Legacy

Run IX- Tarnished

"Hey, look, I know you don't want to talk to me, and that's understandable, but your mother she," her dad began as Leilani eyed him. "She what?" Leilani asked as her dad exhaled. "She, the killer, mthey, Leilani, I'm so sorry," he said as the realization hit her. "Dad, no, you can't be serious," Leilani said as he gave her a look, then Leilani knew. "Oh my god," she said as she covered her mouth, engulfing herself in her dad's arms.

"What're you thinking?" July asked as Roman shrugged. "I have no idea who thus could be," he said as she shook her head. "No, not about that, It just seems like you have something on your mind," July said as Roman exhaled. "I do. Who is this killer going to strike next, I just don't want you, Josh, or Mitch getting hurt. You three are all I have left," Roman said as July held his hand. "You don't have to worry about us. We have everything under control, and this killer doesn't even seem to want us," July said as Roman nodded. "I promise you, we'll all be just fine," July said as Roman nodded.

"Marabelle, I'm home?" Josh asked as he walked inside. Marabelle is his pet dog. Surprisingly, the dog didn't run up to him. Josh then walked upstairs, where he saw his dog, gutted like a pig. "Holy shit," he said as he walked back slowly. His phone then began to ring, "he-llo," he said shakingly, still staring at the image of his dog. "A sight for sore eyes, huh? It's one of my masterpieces. You've evaded the last killer, but I promise, you won't evade me," the killer said as Josh turned. "Come and get me asshole," Josh said as the killer snickered. "Of course, my majesty," the killer said as Josh walked downstairs.

Josh walked into his kitchen when the killer called him again.  "What the fuck do you want?" Josh asked as he answered the phone. "Let's play a game," the killer said as Josh rolled his eyes. "What game?" Josh asked as the killer snickered. "Hot and cold," the killer said as Josh looked around. "Right now, you're cold," the killer said as Josh turned and began to walk toward his living room. "Hot," the killer said as they jumped from behind him, grabbing him. The killer then began to walk upstairs, holding Josh with a tight grip. "Hasta lavista bitch," the killer said as they began to bang Josh against the window, breaking the glass. "And goodbye," the killer said as they stabbed Josh in the stomach three times. They then sliced both his stomach and his neck. The killer then slammed Josh down to the sidewalk below, the impact knocking him out. Causing him to slowly die because of his injuries.

"Have you heard from Josh?" Roman asked Mitch as he shook his head. "No, I haven't," Mitch said as Roman went frantic. "He hasn't answered his phone, I'm going to check it out," Roman said as Mitch stood up. "Okay, let's go," Mitch said as Roman smiled. The two then left.

The two arrived at Josh's house, and the police were already on scene. "Thank God you two are here," July said as she walked up to them. "It's Josh. He didn't make it," July said as Roman scoffed. "And you told me they weren't coming for us?" Roman asked as July shrugged. "It just seemed like the killer was after someone else this time, and I still think that. Maybe they were just trying to divert us," July said as Roman rolled his eyes. "July, at the end of the day, we will never ever be truly safe. There will always be some dumbass dawning that mask," Roman said as July crossed her arms. "I know that," July said as Roman looked at the stretcher carrying out Josh's body. "Revenge is imminent," Roman said as he walked away, Mitch following him.

"We shouldn't have left you at that hospital alone, I'm so sorry," Devin said as Leilani smiled. "I'm still alive. That's all that matters," Leilani said as she hugged him, and he hugged her back. "How are yall doing?" Leilani asked, looking at Grayson and Blaze. "We're still alive," Grayson said as Leilani chuckled. "It's going to take hella long to heal all these injuries, I'm surprised I'm even still alive from all these injuries," Leilani said, inspecting herself. "Because you're a fighter," her dad said, walking into the room. "Why are you here? Just because my mom died doesn't mean I need you as a parent. You've never been one before," Leilani said harshly as her dad exhaled. "I know I wasn't always here," he said as she scoffed. "You were never here, and what do you know, when there's a psycho killer around now, you show the hell up?" she said as her dad tried to speak again. "Shut the fuck up and get out of my hospital room, piece of absolute shit," she said as he looked down and walked out the room. "Lei, don't you think," Grayson began as Leilani gave him a cold stare, shutting him up instantly.
