I was caught. 

A sharp knife grazed my spine, threatening to impale me at any given moment. I dropped my sickle onto the ground. 

I had one job. 

I failed. 

I failed to kill Sophie. 

Sophie: So... Ashton...

Ashton: You too.

From his right pocket, Ashton pulled out a... Revolver. Sophie's revolver.

Sophie: What the fuck?

He aimed it at Sophie. 

Right at her forehead.

Ashton: Don't move a muscle. 

Sophie: Or what? That's my gun.

Ashton: I'm so fucking stupid. I thought I was your friend all this while and you go side with Monokuma? You side with Team Danganronpa? 

Sophie: Ashton-

Ashton: I heard everything.

Sophie: God, it- It isn't what it looks like!

Ashton: You're the Mastermind? 

Sophie: No, no wait-

Ashlyn: Ashton, let me explain at least-

Ashton: And you.

I felt the knife blade sink ever so slightly into my flesh. I winced. 

Ashlyn: Let me go! I have to do this, you don't understand!

Ashton: So much for hating murder.

I could feel my clothes getting damp with warm blood. It trickled slowly down my lower back.

Ashton: After I'm done with you, both of you, there will be no more killing. I'll eradicate this fucking killing game with my own two hands. 

Ashlyn: Please...

Sophie: Put the gun down Ashton, we're friends...

Ashton: SHUT UP. 

The detective's finger lingered on the trigger for a moment. Sophie shut her eyes, expecting the worst. I shut my eyes too, knowing he would stab me at any given second. 

I never would have thought, at the end of the day, Ashton would be the one holding us hostage. 

Ashton: You don't have to suffer anymore, Sophie. 

Sophie: What the fuck are you on about? 

Ashton: Just let go. 

Sophie: I can explain Ashton, put down the damn gun! 

Ashton: Let go of your life. Your miserable little life. 

Sophie: No, wait-

He put pressure on the trigger. I braced for impact. 

Ashton: It'll all be over soon. 

Click.

Click. 

Click click click click clickclickclickclick-

Ashton: What the-

Sophie booked it.

I pushed Ashton away while he was distracted and followed swiftly, trying my best to catch up with her. 

I didn't have my sickle, but I had my fists and a sheer will to finish what I started.
