Our love will end in sky

Chapter V

We entered the mansion. We were the most victorious survivors from all over the globe. We couldn't belive that we did it:we escaped and we beat the hunter. But our good vibe didn't last for long because we saw the blood trail on the mansion floor.
-What happened here....,said Emma terrified.
We got into the dining room. There, with his head on the table,it was Lucky Guy, bleeding from all his body.
-Buddy! I screamed.
I got to his side. He was so fragile. He was so wounded.
-Uh.....
-We are here, buddy, Emma said.
-Eli, do something!
-What? I train owls! I am not Emily!
-Just do something. Imagine your owl is sick, what do you do?
-A... m..I..... I....
-Ugh, forget it, let me try something, I said, but I work with death bodies, they feel nothing, it might hurt.
-Just do what you have to do....,he said.
-Okay...
I started to stuff all the blood and meet back in and to close the wounds bandaging them with lots of bandages.
-Auch, carefull...
-Nearly there....
The last wound was closed, the bleeding stopped.
-Here you go!
-Uh... Thanks....
-Tell us, what happened.
-The hunter..... He was so good... He cought all of us. I managed to struggle enough and to free myself from the balloons, but it was too late, all of them were gone... I ran, and ran, and ran, he was right behind me. But.. It was this hatch. It was opened. I jumped and escaped.
-Wow..... Nobody survived, there is just you?
-Yeah, The Cowboy, Dancer and The Pharfumer are dead...
-Who is the hunter, he looks powerful.... Dangerous....
I was preparing to ask the same but then I saw them.... The cuts on Lucky Guy's skin... Sword cuts...
-Joseph...
In that moment the mansion door slammed open.
-Wow, Jack, that game was incredible!
-Not really... One slip out of my hand....
-Neh... That's not a problem. One escaped from me, too, but after all, hunters won!
Joseph, with his impeccable blue suit and immaculate white hair entered the room alongside with the tall, elegant guy with claws instead of fingers, Jack, the Ripper.
-Guys..., I said, guys... I am having a heard attack....
-What...., said Emma but then she saw them too.
-Oh no..., said Eli.
Emma jumped from her chair and pointed at them accusatory.
-What are you doing here?!
-Chill out Flower Girl, said Joseph making my skin tremble, we are all gamers in this game. We all have the right to stay here.
-What were you talking about later?asked Eli. About your game, he pointed at Ripper.
-Oh, yeah, I killed all of the survivors, excepting one.
-BUT THAT'S HORRIBLE, HOW COULD YOU!!!screamed Emma.
She was ready to jump at Jack's neck when a put my hand on her shoulders, dragging her down.
-Hey, hey, hey, easy, it is not their fault they are hunters.....
I couldn't find out if I was trying to convince me or her. Maybe both.
-Ugh, on whom side are you?she asked.
-Am.... Am...
I moved my eyes from Emma to Joseph, Emma, Joseph, Emma and back to Joseph.
-Amm...... I am neutral.
-Fine, she said, what do we do now? Seven of us are dead and it is nearly the first day!
-I know, discouraging, huh?said Joseph drinking slowly his tea.
I was trying to breath even if it was the hardest thing ever in that moment.
-WHO survived in your game?Eli asked Jack.
-That green guy, Mercenary, he is really good at running and hiding.
-Aha...And where is now?
-He will be here any minute....
-We can't wait, we have to do a plan!said Eli.
-What do you mean "we", asked the Ripper.
-What? Do you mean that you don't want to escape from this living nightmare!?
-No, but, you are survivors...
-So? We are all humans! We need to find a way!
-But it is impossible, said Joseph becaming serious. If hunters win, survivors die, if survivors win, the hunter die...
-What?!I screamed.
-I fear that it is true, he continues, the black-cloaked figure made us an little introduction about the game. He will cut off the losing hunter's head.
-Oh no... Dad.....,whispered Emma.
-Don't worry, said Jack putting his un-clawed hand on her shoulder,Leo is very good, he wouldn't lose,I am sure of it.
Emma blushed.
-Thanks.
Then I realized that she was looking at Jack the same way I was looking at Joseph: with a bit of regret, a lot of admiration and sparking eyes.
-We need to find a way to survive at much people as possible, I said, breaking the hard and uncomfortable silence.
-That's simple, we will make ties.
-What are ties?
-When 2 survivors escape and 2 die it is a tie. Neither the survivord, neither the hunter win.
-Joseph, you are a genius!
-Thabks.
-But don't count on us in the arena, said Jack, there, the black-cloaked figure is controlling our minds...
-But you can control yourselfs to kill only two survivors?
-I guess....
-Perfect! We will win this game! All of us!
-If you say so... We will inform the other hunters. Come Joseph, time to go!
-Okay... Bye..
He waved his hand to all of us..
But he looked only at me.
