The knife slipped slowly out of the gloved hand. Blood gushed from the
wound onto the cold concrete floor, the droplets bouncing, before coming to
a gentle stop. The eyes widened and glazed over, and the person slumped
noisily to the floor. No-one heard the noise, however, they were all out,
all having fun. The killer picked up the weapon and stared at the steel.
"My friend," the voice said, as the killer looked lovingly at the knife.
"Their fun brought your demise." The killer said simply. The killer bent
down beside the body, and tapped the knife gently on it's stomach. "You
shouldn't be so trusting little one." The killer walked out of the mall,
unnoticed by anyone, and slipped silently through the streets, on route to
meet the other Mall Rats, the ones who had become friends.
The Mall Rats waltzed into the mall around dawn. The air was full of laughs and good times. Salene and Ryan were the first to enter the mall, and the first to notice it. Salene looked down at her feet. "Yuk," she said, bringing her foot up. A sticky red substance laced her boot, and the floor below. "What is it?" Ryan asked. Salene shrugged. They walked further into the mall, and saw the Chosen one lying in a pool of their own blood. Salene let out an ear-piercing scream, and turned to Ryan, who accepted her into his arms. The other Mall Rats arrived a few seconds later. They saw, didn't need to ask, didn't need to be told. It was all there in black and white. They saw their friend. Their comrade. Their leader.
Cloe, Patsy and KC bolted up the stairs, screaming and crying. They had all seen death before, but not so close to home. Salene ran up the stairs after them. Lex was the first one to move near the body, the others were still shocked, frozen in place. Lex gently turned the body over and looked at his friend's, often enemy's, face. The already pale face, had taken on an even more ghostly colour, the eyes still frozen in shock. Just to be sure he checked her pulse, but he knew the answer. "She's dead," Lex said, standing up, and looking down at Amber's body. A fresh wave of tears flowed down Bray's cheek and Tai-San hugged Lex, who was shaking, and she herself was crying. The other Mall Rats were crying quietly, no able to hold in the tears. Bray slumped down next to Amber. Bray slowly touched Amber's cheek, moving his hand up until finally he closed her eyes. "I love you," he whispered, and kissed his love. Salene came back down the stairs, carrying a large grey blanket, which Bray preceded to drape over Amber's body. Bray sat on the stairs, his head in his hands and cried. No one knew how to react, whether he should be comforted or not. Salene sat down next to him and placed an arm around his shoulders. "Sshh," she said, gently, and the others started to disburse, trying to find their own way to deal with the pain.
The couple sat in their room, talking about the conquest. "Well it went.....well," the girl said. "It surely did. And that crying. It almost looked real" "Did they say anything when I was gone?" she asked, pulling her night- dress over her head. The boy shook his head. "I said you had girl problems that you had to take care off. No one suspects a thing." The girl nodded. "It was a rush, though. Are you going to do the next one.? I think that you should. It is the best feeling in the world." The boy shrugged. "Maybe. Who is next anyway?" "The boy." "What? No way. We could do better than that. He isn't even a challenge," he said, pulling the covers back and getting into bed. "Look he has mocked me before. I want revenge. Plus you got to choose that witch Amber. Now it's my turn." "Ok," He said, giving her a kiss. "It's your turn."
