Jacky's POV

Two hours. Exactly two hours. I paced in front of my door, unconsciously fingering the pocketknife I had. Sure enough, Ella came from one end of the hallway at the same time as Delta came from the other. I jumped up a little in excitement, taking my hand off the knife.

"Good, you're here. We should check with Tyler first." I informed them, but Ella frowned.

"I think we should check Hailee..." She said, doubt hinting in her voice. Delta merely shrugged, pointing at Ella.

"Fine." I commented, walking across the hallway to the dragon hybrid's door. I knocked once, twice... "Hailee? It's me, Jacky. I have Ella and Delta, we want to know if you're okay."

No answer.

I tried the door, which opened easily. There was nothing. Her room was terrifyingly neat, the closet door open but blocking our view of inside. I opened the door a bit more to see what was in, and a gasp came from behind me.

"My god..." Ella muttered. Hailee hung from the bar by a glowing rope, blood dripping from her neck. A mirror hung on the inside of the door, the word cheater written on it perfectly in dark red paint, or maybe blood.

"Who would do this?" I shuddered, looking away.

"I would!" Charbrine's voice rang out from behind me, suppressing an evil giggle. "See, she broke the rules. I don't take very kindly to cheaters in my game, so I had to disqualify her!"

"Why?!" Delta's voice shook, and I turned to see tears gathering in her eyes. "Why would you do this?!"

Charbrine giggled again. "She tried to enchant something to kill Tyler! That's not allowed, you know. She broke the rules, so I stopped her with her own weapon. What a shame, hm?"

"You... you. You bloody bitch. You killed her, you killed her! I hope you die, actually no. I'll personally kill you, you bitch!" Ella screamed, tears running down her face as she slashed at Charbrine with a knife that came out of nowhere. "I'll make you pay!"

But she missed.

The blade stuck into Delta's chest, who looked down at it in horror. "N-no... no no no... my Tyler, I never got to say goodbye.. I d-didn't..." She looked up at Ella, a single tear falling before she fell as well, a puddle of blood forming under her. Ella let her hand fall, stumbling into me. I jumped away from her instinctively, and Charbrine was gone.

"I-I'm sorry-"

"Don't touch me!"

Ella turned away from me, sobs wracking her body. I let my eyes close, quickly leaving the room.

In five short minutes, Delta was dead, Ella was guilty, Hailee had tried to kill Tyler, and Tyler was still unknown.

Five minutes was all it took.
