Chapter 19

Chishiya POV

I and Kuina were sitting in the security room, watching the cameras, we saw Aguni standing at the fire of Judgment, watching as all the dead people got thrown into the fire, after we turned to the indoor cameras, we saw people running trying to survive, only to get shot down by the militants, some people tried to help the others, but at this point, a lot of of people had been shot anyways.

Kuina was looking intensely at the screen, "They've all gone crazy." she said not liking what was going on, on the screen. "Not their smartest move," I said with almost no emotion, not taking my eyes off the screens. "Why would they go so far just to survive?" I said letting out a sigh, it was a stupid way to survive, but yet. Some might survive who knows. "There no way to find out who the witch is this way.." Kuina said, making me chuckle, she was right, killing everyone and burning them won't get the witch if they're one of the militants or the executives, they're not bad enough to be dead, some might but not all. "you could be the witch. Right, Kuina?" I said making her turn from the screens and look at me. "Or it could be you." she fired back at me. maki ng my glance away from the cameras and onto her, with a weak smile letting out a scoff, before turning back to the cams, my weak smile leaving my face. And so did Kuina, that was until she saw something on the camera, and went closer to the screen, making me glance at her for a moment. "What in the.." I hear her let out, still looking at the screen. "What do you see?" I ask making her turn to me, before looking back at the screen and I could tell her breath hitched. "I'm not sure who, but someone started a fire in the basement." she said moving away from the screen so I could see, and right enough there was a fire in the basement. "he, trying to get people out now," I said not taking my eyes off of the screens.

Soon either the fire alarm went off, and that was when Kuina turned to me, "Imma go." she said making me give her a nod, "I'll get something as well." I said standing up and walking over to the door grabbing the handle, and waiting a bit. "alright, but what are you doing?" she asked still looking at me, "Making sure there are no militants when I open the door." I said in a calm tone making her nod, after no footsteps, I hopped the door and walks out, Kuina followers behind me. "You better survive," she said in a stern voice looking at me. "I will, don't worry." I looked at her and gave her a weak smile, making her nod. "you better" she said as she turned and walked in the opposite direction I was going, I turned back and started walking.

I started walking towards the rooftop avoiding people meanwhile, I heard gunshots, screaming everything id expect to hear, until I came upon a door. I could hear muffled screams, and suddenly a bang, I turned to the door, already knowing it was Arisu, I don't have time for this. I let out a weak sigh as I took out the teaser I mainly keep on me, turning it on, putting it to the door, and burning Arisu on the door, cuz knowing Usagi she is looking for him. I quickly put the teaser back in my hoodie, and as I continued my way to the rooftop, I walked to the staircase slowly walking up the staircase, as I hear gunshots from the top, I let out a sigh, feeling the anxiety weld up, I took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

As I had opens the door, I see Niragi sitting at the edge of the roof amine at the rest of the unfortunate people that happens to be outside. "Don't you get tired of bullying people weaker than you?" I said already feeling hating doing this. "And where were you hiding?" He said in a teasing manner, taking his focus away from the scope and turning his attention to me. A smirk planted on my face, as I walked closer to him. "Oh, there are lots of places for me to hide," I said casually, slowing down. "Is that so? You can get on my nerves, you know that?" He said with a breathy laugh, yet annoyance in his voice, yet confidence was still showing.

"You are up to something. You're not good at hiding it." Niragi started, my smirk spreading across my face, "Oh, the thing is I am. I don't need to hide it anymore." I said in my normally monotone voice, the smirk leaving my face. I felt my heartbeat in my chest, I kept taking deep breaths to calm myself down, but not working. Niragi let out a scoff before starting to get up, gun in hand "Okay, then." He said letting the gun relax on his shoulder before taking a few steps before stopping. "Since you are so good at hiding stuff. How much did you fake? Or want me to see" he said in a clear mad manner but yet still calm.
