Thank you all so much for the all the response, especially with my boy problem. Talking seems to be recommended. Hmm. Uh oh. I'm not social.
Special thanks to:
-Icy Heart. Beautiful Soul. Your review was good advice and made me laugh.
Normal POV
It was 9am the next morning. Already, twenty seven people had been 'killed', with Foxleap and Ivypool taking three or four each.
Crowfeather had already taken one, and Berrynose had performed several failed attempts on Icecloud, who seemed to take this as some sort of joke. After Squirrelflight, Foxleap blasted through a River girl and a Shadow boy before preparing himself to take down Hawkfrost, who had somehow managed to graduate high school and was minding his own business in the BR section (Boy River). Everyone had made slang terms for the floors, now- including BR, BT, BS (everyone had a good laugh at that one), BW, GW, GT, GS, and GR. Icecloud had taken out Ivytail, and Flametail had gotten rid of Kestrelflight.
People were being killed in absurd places, too.
Sorreltail had nailed her mark when she was in the bathroom stall next to her. Needless to say, Tawnypelt was not amused.
Sandstorm was viciously 'killed' by some Shadow boy, who even though he got his kill, did not think it was worth the black eye.
The game went on and on. Person after person was eliminated, boys and girls alike. Soon, it was narrowed down to the final ten, int he evening of the next day.
Icecloud was alive (Berrynose had yet to land a hit).
Berrynose was fine, because he had no clue who had him as a target.
Foxleap was perfectly fine, of course.
Dovewing was good too.
Tigerheart couldn't dare kill his 'girlfriend'.
Ivypool was good, of course.
Flametail was still in.
Crowfeather, unfortunately, was still an active player.
All the River kids were out, so the last two were Rowanclaw and Littlecloud.
"Dovewing," Tigerheart wailed, "I shall never be able to slay you!"
"Oh, shut up!" Flametail cried. "I have to figure out how to get to Berrynose!"
"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING-"
"SHUT UP!"
Meanwhile, Foxleap and Berrynose were plotting for how to get their next targets.
"Hmm," Foxleap mumbled, "how does one slay a Rowanclaw?"
"How do I slay an Icecloud?!" The vain male wailed in anguish, banging his head off the wall. "She's too good!"
And back in the Wind rooms...
"How do I get Tigerheart?" Littlecloud wondered.
His room mate, Runningnose shrugged. "I got taken out by Flametail. Do you know how embarrassing that is? Getting out after getting only one person!"
"Foxleap's got a little over ten," Littlecloud groaned. "I hope someone gets him."
Runningnose arched an eyebrow. "You think that's bad?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Breezepelt told me that Ivypool's taken over fifteen."
"Well, now I don't know who's worse."
Back to Shadow...
Rowanclaw frowned as he turned over the knife he had taken from Leafpool. "How the heck am I supposed to get Ivypool?" The fates had most certainly not been kind to him in his destiny.
A window at the Thunder floor shook because one room held the whiniest person around. Dovewing cried in disappointment. "How the heck am I supposed to get Foxleap?"
"Have you even tried?" Ivypool hissed.
The diva blinked. "Well, no."
Ivypool sighed, "Crowfeather should be easy enough to get." She twirled the knife around on her finger, whistling and digging into a bag of gummi bears. Dovewing leaned over and snatched up one.
"I'm going to die," Dovewing wailed.
"Black roses on your grave," Ivypool groaned.
Dovewing's eyes widened immensely. "PINK! PIIIIIIINK ROSES!"
Crowfeather was also experiencing difficulty. He turned the knife over in his hand with the name Littlecloud scrawled on it. Icecloud was also scouting out Flametail's room, ready for her 'killing'. It was all going to end, that night.
Icecloud was very assured that her next killing would be easy. Flametail shared a dorm with Tigerheart, but she knew Berrynose carried her name, so she had no concern if the others tried to kill her. Using the window ledges, she began hoisting herself up, climbing up the Shadow Boys level. She went by room by room, but most of them had the curtains closed. Since you couldn't go to the hallways (because you had no way of telling who was in what room) Icecloud looked for any crack or opening.
She had narrowed it down to two rooms. She unhitched the lock on the first one, pried open the door, and rolled into the room, ninja style. Crowfrost's scream was extremely high-pitched and girly, causing Icecloud to cover her ears. "Wrong room, sorry!" She edged her way out of the window again, Crowfrost's screaming drowned out as she slammed the window shut.
Room number two was much for successful.
She rolled in, ninja style again, and Tigerheart screeched loudly, throwing a pillow at her. Flametail jumped ten feet in the air and landed on his bed, whipping out his knife. "Forget it," Icecloud laughed, "Berrynose has my name."
"Which one of us do you have?" Tigerheart whispered.
Icecloud jerked her chin. "The ginger one."
Flametail frowned. "No way!"
"Yes way!"
The 'knife fight' was short and anticlimactic. With Flametail out, Icecloud hopped out of the window with his knife in hand. Only when she was in the safety of her room did she turn it over and read it.
"Berrynose? REALLY?!"
Meanwhile, Berrynose shivered in his room. Something was wrong. "I sense a disturbance in the cosmos," he whispered, unheard.
Foxleap ambled back into the room by window. "Rowanclaw was easy!"
"Who's next?" Berrynose asked, ignoring his own panic.
Foxleap grinned. "The most difficult one in this game." Berrynose arched an eyebrow. "Ivypool."
Berrynose let out a low whistle. "That's worse than Icecloud. Good luck, my friend."
"You'll need it more than I will."
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Shut up and sleep."
"Hey! HEY!"
