Escape The Night Fan Fiction~ Guilt

Challenge Number 8 Part 2: Happy?

Nikita's POV:

I opened my mouth to say the name of who I chose. "Oli White."

Oli's POV:

Lucy and a witch marched in. Everyone fled to the back of the room.

"What are you doing? Why are you hear?" I heard Tyler ask between screams.

The witch blacks doff the group. I was so confused. What the.....Lucy looked at me. She walked towards me. I was too scared too move. My breathing was heavy. The breathing that would soon be ended. Then....Lucy swung a bat at me.

"Ahh!" I screamed in agony. She took a knife from her back pocket and cut me open. She then shoved her hand into my stomach. Lucy pulled her hand out. Along with my guts. I was bleeding on the carpet. I coughed and laid my head in the floor. I heard muffled screaming around me. Then the closing of a door. I felt people shaking my body. Too late. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, letting out slowing. That, was my last breath.

Joey's POV:

"OLI! NO!" I screamed. Lucy and the witch left. I ripped the color off me somehow and fled to Oli's body.

"No..." I whispered.

I brushed my hand through his hair and softly cried. Then I heard the door open. Mat and Nikita came in. Mat looked at his feet, crying. Nikita had no tears. She had a poker face and was standing straight. I stood up.

"I'm sorry. I had to choose." Nikita finally stated.

"OLI DIED!" I yelled, cold tears bursting from my eyes.

Mat let a tear roll from his cheek. He was staring at the floor. Maybe he was thinking. I just kept screaming.

"You....YOU BITCH!" I screamed at her.

I fell back to the ground and sat next to Oli body, his head in my lap. He had a smile on his face....like he was......happy?

I cried.

"Joey..." Nikita started.

"Shut up." I cut her off.

Mat's POV:

I stared at the floor. My mind wandered off. I remember screaming at Nikita when Safiya died. I let a tears roll down my cheek.

"Joey. We need to work, okay?" I spoke. I sat down next to him and hugged him, my mouth near his right ear. He hugged me back. "Don't let him die in vain." I whispered.

Joey nodded as we let go. We got up and picked up the collar.

"Guys....I know this is sick but, something shiny is in Oli's stomach." Tyler stated.

We looked. There was a ring.

"I'll do it." I offered. No one disagreed. I dug my hand into him. I closed my eyes and took the ring out f him. I handed it you Joey and wiped the blood from my hand to my shirt.

I hooked the ring into the collar. Then, Riley took something out. It was another ring.

"I found this during one of the voting sessions." She spoke. Joey took it and hooked it to the collar. I noticed a piece of paper sticking out from the collar. I grabbed it and read it aloud.

"Once you look through, you will see, it was among you the whole time."

"Week, it says the whole time, so who hasn't died?" Joey asked. Tyler and Nikita rose their hand.

"What does look through mean?" Tyler asked.

"Maybe we should look around the room." I suggested. Everyone agreed.

We searched through the lounge.

"I found magnifier!" Nikita exclaimed. She placed her hand out for me to grab, but I snatched it giving her a death glare. I was still not over Safiya.

Mat looked through it at Tyler. Nothing. Then at Nikita. Nothing. Then again. And again.

"I don't get it. Who else has been here the whole time?" I asked out loud, clearly frustrated.

"Riley." Joey pointed out.

Mat looked at her through the magnifier. There it was. A ring in her pocket.

"I didn't know it was there I swear." Riley stated.

"It's fine." Mat replied, taking the rings do hooking it to the collar. Then  a voice boomed through the room.

"Two must be selected by vote to go into a challenge and risk their lives in order to claim the final ring, and cleanse the artifact."

We voted.

Here are the votes:

Mat: Nikita.

Joey: Nikita.

Tyler: Nikita.

Nikita: Tyler

3rd POV:

Riley picked the cards. Tyler and Nikita. We all went to the tent. There was popcorn and chests. Nikita looked like she was about to cry. She held it back though, and kept a straight face. Then, the challenge began. Tyler went all in. Nikita was lacking from guilt. However, Nikita found the first key, she unlocked her box. Nothing. Then her second. Still nothing. Tyler however, hadn't found anything. He through a cart behind him, scaring Nikita. He dug the the piles of popcorn, eating some, and found his first key. He unlocked his box. Nothing

Tyler found his key. So did Nikita. They both unlocked it. Nikita got it last time. This time was different. Tyler got the note.

"Kill yourself or kill your friend. You decide how this ends." 

"I can't bring my self to shoot someone..." Tyler spoke.

"Please....don't do this." Nikita pleaded. Tyler exhaled slowly. "Please!" She begged, followed by Lucy's giggle. Tyler took a deep breath and held up the gun...............
