Killer Kings

Chapter 19: Murdertime Funtime

I'm dressed in my costume while I head up the stairs towards Stu's parents' bedroom, which is where Sidney and Billy are, much to my hatred. Even though it's all part of the game, I hate that Billy had to sleep with the bitch he hates just to get what he needs in order to break free from his own demons.

Makes me want Sidney dead even more than I already do.

Now, originally, Billy and Stu were just going to reluctantly stab the shit out of each other to make this all the more real, but I put an end to that plan immediately. I will not watch my two idiots fucking kill each other to get this done, so I'm going to be handling this part instead of Stu, who is somewhere else in the house lurking around.

I have two knives on me, one being the real deal and the other being a retractable fake. I'm using the retractable one on Billy because I managed to modify it. The handle is filled with fake blood, which will come out the second the blade retracts, and I'm carrying a few fake blood packets in my pocket to refill it in case it's needed as an improvise later.

I'm standing outside the open door, listening in on the conversation that Sidney and Billy are having. Sidney's asking Billy who he used his one phone call on while locked up, and I knew he'd called Stu right before Tatum had gotten to the boy. Billy claims it was his dad, making Sidney tell him he's wrong and that the sheriff did that.

They argue this until I hear Billy ask her if she still thought he was the killer, which is my cue to enter the room. I walk through the doorway, moving quietly even though Billy knows this coming. I make sure Sidney catches sight of me standing behind Billy, and she scrambles off the bed in a panic.

"Oh, my God!" She cries, pushing herself back up against the wall as Billy asks her what's wrong. I raise the fake knife high into the air, making her point at me. "Billy, look out!"

Billy spins around only to be "stabbed" by me. He pretends to be hit, grunting in pain as I swing the knife again, the fake blood spilling all over his white shirt. Damn, I really liked that shirt. I keep hitting him until he gives me a look, and I "slice" through his chest. He goes with the motion, swinging around as he stumbles to the side a bit.

Sidney is standing against the wall, sobbing as she watches Billy weakly reach out to her before falling onto the bed. While she'd been focused on him, I had switched the fake knife for the real one and pretended to wipe the blood on my sleeve since I only have one hand.

Fuck, I wish that stupid cop hadn't have broken my wrist.

I look at Sidney for a second before I start running towards her, making her scream as she jumps onto the bed next to Billy's "dead" body. I follow her across the bed as she keeps running, racing out the door with me hot on her trail. I chase after her, swiping the knife through the air when I manage to get close to her, but I miss her because I know Billy wants the first hit on her.

She darts through a door, and slams it closed with me slamming into it in an attempt to break the door open. I try to move it, but I realize she's locked the door, which is very smart on her part. Maybe she'll actually pose as a challenge.

I run around the second floor, racing through doors as I head for the other exit on the other side of the house. I hit the doorway just as Sidney starts to run down the stairs across from me, and I leap down the stairs on my side, chasing her up the ones on her side as she runs back the way she came.

She runs through a door, and I go to follow only for her to turn and slam the door into my me. I yelp as I hit the floor, biting my tongue hard as I land on my casted wrist, and growl as I grab the knife when I scramble back up to my feet. I run through the doorway and across the room as I watch her slam the door of another room, and I barrel into the door.
