"Oh shit," Niarsey said as he grabbed Kevin's hand and began running in the opposite direction; the killer running after them. "This way," Niarsey said as they turned a corner; the killer catching up with them. The killer grabbed Niarsey's arm and pulled him back; throwing him on the ground. "Niar!" Kevin yelled as the killer kicked Kevin at a good distance; him falling on the ground. "Run!" Niarsey yelled as Kevin looked at him. The killer then stabbed Niarsey in the stomach. They then stabbed him again in the same place, Kevin then stood up and ran toward them, but it was too late, and Niarsey lost consciousness. "Niar!" Kevin yelled as he began crying. The killer then got up and turned the corner; disappearing into the night. "Niar! Niar!" Kevin yelled as he placed his hands on Niarsey's wound. "Hey, hey, stay with me!" Kevin yelled as Niarsey opened his eyes slightly. "I guess it was my time, hm?" Niarsey said as Kevin shook his head slightly. "Such a tragic ending to a tragic life. But now I can finally be free," Niarsey said as he lost consciousness again. "Goddammit! Niar! Please!" Kevin yelled; gaining a headache from how much he was crying. He then placed his head on Niarsey's chest and continued to cry. He then took out his phone and called 911 for him. "I'm so sorry, Niar. I'm so sorry," Kevin said as the ambulance pulled up. He then backed up so the paramedics could do their job. He turned around and began walking away.
"Lei! Lei!" Amber yelled as she looked around with Jackson. "Why would she run off like that?" Jackson asked as Amber shrugged. "She lost both her best friends, we lost Harry, and if we lose each other; I think we'd be the same way," Jackson said as Amber crossed her arms. "I think you're right, so don't die on me asshole," Amber said, smiling, Jackson smiling back. "I'll be fine, we'll be fine," Jackson said as Amber nodded. "Anyways, we do have to find Lei, so come on," Amber said as she kept walking; Jackson following her.
"There you are," Amber said as she ran up to Leilani with Jackson. "Fuck this," Leilani said as she leaned against the wall; the other two doing the same. "This whole thing is just a load of fucking bullshit. I hate this so much," Leilani said as Amber nodded. "Yeah, this is unfortunate, but the only thing we can do is fight back," Jackson said as Amber eyed him. "I don't even know if I want to fight back anymore. What the hell am I even fighting for anymore? Everything I was fighting for is gone now, so why continue fighting?" Leilani asked as Amber smiled slightly. "You have us, Lei, and we have each other," Amber said as Leilani sat on the ground. "But what about Dev? What about Blaze? What about everyone else. So many people died so I could live, I'm tired of having that happen," Leilani said as the other two sat beside her. "Leilani, they didn't die so you could live. In this world, there's a process of selection, survival of the fittest if you will. The people who survive are the strongest ones. They fight to survive, and so do the people that die, but they don't have all that fight within them. The people who survive are the ones that deserve to, and then there's the misfortune where some don't, but that's how it works, Lei," Amber said as Leilani exhaled. "Well fuck that, fuck this world, fuck it all," Leilani said as the two agreed. "Well, come on then, let's finish this," Amber said as the three stood up.
"Kev?" Emerald asked as Kevin ran up to them. "It's Niar, he's, he's, he's," Kevin said; out of breath. "He's what!" Emerald yelled as Kevin looked her in the eye. "Niar is gone," Kevin said as the woods echoed in Emerald's head. She then dropped to her knees. "Where's Narreem and Dixie at?" Kevin asked as he got on one knee. "I don't give a fuck! My fucking brother is dead! He's dead!" Emerald said as Kevin hugged her. "Everything is going to be okay," Kevin said as he tightened his hug. "He's gone. He's really gone," Emerald said as the mascara dripped down her cheek. "Some waterproof mascara this is," Emerald said as her eyes turned red. "I'm so sorry Em, I really am, I really tried, I really fucking tried," Kevin said as Emerald continued crying. "I know you did, this isn't your fault. And Dixie and Narreem had something to do they said," Emerald said as she stood back up. "I can't believe he's gone, why the fuck did that cop have to seperate us like that?" Emerald said as she walked over to a bench; Kevin following her.
"He told me a bit about his past, with his parents and how you guys met. Why were you at that mental hospital?" Kevin asked as Emerald sat criss-crossed. "Same reason as him. He was gay and his family hated him, I'm a lesbian and my family hates me. They coincidentally sent me to the same mental hospital as Niar, and we thought we should fake a relationship with one another to make our family happy. But we just couldn't keep lying like that, and when our parents found out; they kicked us both out at the same time. We'd been saving money, so we had enough for two plane tickets to Paris. Then we met all of you, but that trauma, it still hurt. We got through it because we had one another, someone else who went through the exact same thing, but now I don't have that," Emerald said as Kevin side hugged her. "I love you, Em, I'll protect you," Kevin said as Emerald smiled. "Thanks, Kev. I'm so glad you're here," Emerald said as Kevin nodded. "Of course, Em, what the hell are friends for?" Kevin said as he pulled Emerald closer.
