Iruna | The Virtual Escape

Chapter 13: Stitches

It was over. The moment I had shot the arrow from my bowgun. Blaire had moved on. My magic arrow had gone through her. She was my dearest friend, imaginary friend. All my life I was living in a horrible mental disorder of being highly delusional. But I am now grateful for everything she has done.

There wasn't any blood when I shot my arrow but she looks back and smiled at me for the last time.

The arrow continued through Blaire and landed on Oliver.

"How that was very unexpected! Killing your one and only close friend. How savage of you, Mari."

"Quiet, Oliver. That wasn't the only thing I have done."

I looked over my shoulder and saw Oliver bent down. He held down to his stomach tightly.

"What the hell." as he starts to throw up his stomach acid.

"I enchanted one my arrows to inflict poison user. However, as being a Summoner. It must have taken you a lot of strength to create my imaginary friend Blaire."

"You're not wrong," he spoke heavily. "I guess I can't take all you three down anyway. Father would have been proud if I were to succeed in this game."

"I'm not killing you, Oliver. You're my brother, my own half-blood. I could never kill a family member."

"How kind of you Mari. But this is a game. I need to take responsibility and play by the rules."

Oliver charges straight at me with his small dagger. I was startled when he came in charging. He is also right. This is a game that I must win too and that I must play fair against all of the players.

"I'm sorry Oliver," I said sincerely.

As of right now, I have no choice but to kill my own brother. Having someone I don't even know and them being related to me being killed by me is so horrid.

I took out my sniper gun. I looked through the lenses, took a breath and then shot once more. Oliver had fallen down and blood started to spread.

"But why?" he said. "Why did you shoot me in the shoulder?"

"Like I've said. I don't want to kill you. We can always try to convince our father to stop all of this."

I took out my hand and reached out for Oliver's hand. He took out his hand raised it to me. But as our hands touched, it fell straight to the floor. All of the wolves cries were suddenly turning into whimpering and it was disappearing. I looked up to see what was the reason why this is suddenly happening.

"Well that was quite easy don't you think?" a voice said.

A person was heading towards and I looked straight down to witness my brother, Oliver died right in front of me. I took his phone whilst acquiring his abilities.

"It took awhile trying to find the last remaining players. But I took my time and experimented with some of these new acquired skills I got."

She looks at me in the eyes. I guess I can take you down after I take care of these two so bear with and wait. She approached the two very casually. I could tell there is a lot of power that was flowing through her. She seems unstoppable to defeat.

"I don't think I'll let you do that," I said.

"Oh? What a brave one."

"The names Alluria and I'll always now fight alongside with my friends."
"Silvia, I'll see you to it then. But I'll still leave you for last since I give mercy to petite females."
