Murder is Addictive... Part 3
Davis shivered, sitting on the cold Hospital room floor. He muttered, "...I didn't want to..."
"What are you talking about?" Matt snapped.
"I didn't want to! And I never did!" Davis snapped. "So lay off me okay?!"
"Then, Davis...do you know who did?" Tai asked, calmly.
"...I don't know." Davis sighed.
"Wait a second!" T.K. snapped. "He didn't mention anything about Sora!"
"Yeah, do you know anything about Sora's death?" Matt asked.
"...I..." Davis mumbled. "Well she accused me!! She thought I killed Kari and I didn't!!"
"Wha? So you...out of all people, killed Sora?!" Tai gawked.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Davis snapped.
"So...what about Kari?" Tai asked.
"I didn't kill her..." Davis sniffed.
Matt gasped, "Wait a second!...If you didn't...then who did?"
Just then, the light flickered on and off continuously. Everyone gawked. The doctors all covered their patients as they screamed, "But she hasn't recovered yet!"
Just then, out of the blue, the killer appeared on the window. He\She still couldn't be seen, 'cause it was dark. Quickly Joe ran to get the light switch, but it just wouldn't turn on. The killer smirked, "It's useless this time, Digidestined!" He lunged at them.
They all dodged the killer, who still couldn't be seen.
"The only way out is the window!" T.K. gulped. "Let's go for it!"
"This is insane!" Joe panicked. "But I'd rather die jumping from a building than getting stabbed!!" He leaped from the window, as so did everyone else....including the killer.
"He's following us everywhere!" Matt grumbled.
"Oh, so did you finally notice, Mr. Ishida?" The killer asked. "I want to kill you all!"
"But why?" Tai asked. "...Wait, did you kill Kari?"
"...It all depends!" The killer snapped, lunging for Tai.
"Hmm, come on! This way!" Matt hollered, as they ran in the direction of the school. Odaiba Elementary...the birthplace of the deaths...
"You know what Matt? Sorry to be a little picky, But this is the WORST place of them all to be right now!" Tai snapped.
Just then, 3 trucks, coming from all 3 directions starting revving up, and cornering them slowly.
"What is this?" T.K. snapped. "I'm getting out of here! I don't wanna die!!" He began to run in the spots between the trucks. It seemed safe at first, but then an arrow from out of nowhere shot T.K., and he fell to the ground...dead...just like the others.
"T.K.!!" Matt hollered.
"This might sound a little cold right now Matt, but..." Joe muttered. Then he snapped, "We don't have time to rescue your stupid brother!!"
Matt's eyes filled with anger. He glared at Joe, then began to lunge at him angrily, "NO ONE CALLS MY BROTHER STUPID!"
Just then, Joe pulled out a small pocket knife and shot it straight at Matt. As it hit him, and this time didn't just pull out a few strands of hair.
Tai and Davis gawked at Joe. The 3 of them were the only one's left...nowhere to run...nowhere to hide...Was Joe really the killer?
Joe stuttered, innocently as Matt fell to the ground, "Listen, Tai...Davis...I-I didn't-...I'm not the killer. You have to believe me..."
Tai shook his head, "...Sorry Joe..."
"...I don't know If I can believe you...After all, Silent people are always the last one down..." Davis muttered.
Joe sighed, "...You're right Davis...always the last one down...that sounds so much like me...right now." He took the pocket knife and stabbed himself. He stuttered one last time, a few last words before he fell to the ground, "...Always the last one down...thank you..." ...dead...just like the rest of them.
Davis collapsed to the ground, "Why's everyone dying? I might as well die too!"
"No way, Davis!" Tai said. "You can't quit on me now!"
"...I won't...Thanks, Tai." Davis smiled, getting up.
"Oh, how touching..." Muttered a voice. Tai and Davis both looked up, to see the killer crouching down on the dumpster...just like before Sora got killed.
"What the?" Tai gawked.
"It's happening all over again..." Davis muttered.
"Repeat your last words again...because..." The killer chuckled. "As the name intends, it will be your last...!" He lunged towards them, holding his\her knife, stained with the blood of the fallen digidestined.
Pretty soon, The killer cornered them in an alley.
"Nowhere to run...Nowhere to hide..." The killer snickered, walking closer.
"Why are you trying to kill us?" Tai sanpped, backing away.
"...What's uncommon to see? It has to be stone...engraved...just for you!" The killer grinned. He\She edged closer to Tai and Davis...could they possibly last long?

At the Hospital...
The electricity rushed through Jun's body fiercely. She twitched, and sighed. She cautiously got up and looked around. The police officer's necks...sliced...The doctor's legs...twisted. Jun shuddered, as she got up, twitching every few seconds the electricity jolted her arm. She knew the killer went after them...and she had a pretty good idea where. She cautiously took the police officer's flashlight and one of the unloaded guns. "Hopefully this will work..." She muttered. She hopped out the window and ran in the trail of dripping blood...pointing to...the school. She knew it wasn't safe to be in the hospital alone...but then again, it's no safer outside...
***
They were running. Where to? They wouldn't know until they got there. Why? Because when a killer's behind you, you better not be thinking of your death...or that's how it's gonna end up...dead, just like the rest. Matt, Izzy, Yolei, Cody, T.K....All they knew is that they were running...for them. Running as if they were the last people on earth...And that's how it felt. They ran and ran until they got to the Odaiba Cemetery.
"Why are we here? What if he's here?" Davis asked, nervously. "And I don't wanna die!"
"You won't die!" Tai snapped.
"That's what T.K. said, and you don't see him anymore! That's what Matt and Cody said, and you don't see them everyday, now do you?!" Davis cried.
Tai sighed, "No...I-It's just something the killer said back there...'What's uncommon to see? It has to be stone...engraved...just for you!' And I thought of the cemetery..."
"Well why?" Davis asked. They were looking around until they spied in moonlight, as if someone was expecting them to come. 2 grave stones...one, a picture of Davis on the soccer team. Underneath, it said 'Davis Motomiya' Young, energetic. It was a shame he died...' Davis gasped, " But I didn't die!"
The other one had a pictures of Tai on the soccer team, underneath it said, 'Tai Kamiya' Such a young spirited energetic boy. Such a shame he died...' Tai gawked, "What? I didn't die!...Well, probably not yet!"
Just then, branches and twigs snapped. Bushes ruffled, and the wind blew...a perfect time to strike.
"I knew it! He lured us here!" Davis grumbled.
The killer landed down on the ground, just inches away from them. He\She snickered, "Enough playing games! It's time to end this! And what better place to end this, but at your graves!" He\She lunged at them with his knife.
They dodged both attacks, hopped over the graves and ran through the graveyard until they got to the fence, in which they hopped over that too. They ran down the road and back to where it all began...the school. As freaky as it was, the front door was still open. They ran inside and all the way up to the lunchroom.
"Might as well die! He's gonna kill us, we'll be dead...so let's just die now!!" Davis sighed.
"No way, Davis!" Tai snapped. "...Wait, I know i've been saying that alot...and maybe it's not helping but you can't just give up!"
"Well it's a really strong choice right now...huh?" It was the killer, and this time he\she was angrier than before. "Listen here. I'll kill you all, so just don't run! It'll save us both a night of aggravation! Besides, I have to get back to my computer!-...oh dang it!...Enough said!" The Killer lunged back and fourth at Tai and Davis, for 5 minutes continuously.
"Didn't the killer just mention computer?" Tai muttered.
"I thought I told you to run!" The killer snapped, landing inches away from Tai.
"Huh?...Oh wait!" Tai sighed. "I'm not running...uh, I've figured out I'll already die, so you might as well stab me!"
"Now, That's more like it!!" The killer smirked, lunging at Tai.
Tai moved out of the way and sighed again, "Uh...But wait!..." He looked over at Davis, who was crawling towards the killer. Supposedly, Davis was trying to unmask him or something like that. Tai grinned and sighed again, "But before I die...i guess, uh! Can I ask you...something?"
"...You're stalling! And I'm not tricked that easily!" The killer snickered. The killer lunged again at Tai, who moved out of the way. The killer grumbled, "STOP MOVING! It'll make it a lot more easier if you stayed PUT!"
"Wait! What did you say about a computer?" Tai asked again.
The killer grumbled, and ignored Tai. Had Tai finally figured out a key to the killer's identity? A computer, huh? Well, that had to be it!
Davis crept up on the killer, who felt his presence near by. He turned around, just in time to lunge at Davis. Davis ducked, and ran to the corner of the wall. He and Tai sighed. It was hopeless...
The killer snickered, edging closer to them. "Your time's up! No more running! No more hiding!...So say your last words..." He\She aimed his\her knife at them and snickered again. "...Good...bye..." The killer began to lunge at them...All of a sudden when they noticed the killer wasn't moving. Tai and Davis looked at the killer puzzled. The killer stuttered, gasped...and pretty soon fell down to the ground.
"Wha?" Tai and Davis gawked. There was a deep cut in his back, blood gushed out from it. They looked up to see a person holding an unloaded gun...electricity hit him...and the killer fell to the ground.
Davis gawked, "Jun!"
"Hi Davis..." Jun sighed. "You guys okay?"
"Yeah...thanks." Tai sighed.
"No problem...I think." Jun muttered.
"But who was the killer anyway?" Davis asked walking up to the dead killer on the floor. The mask was still on him. Davis pulled it off...it was Ken! Yes, Ken ichijouji, the boy genius!
"He was the killer?" Tai gawked.
"Yeah..." Jun smiled. "Don't think lying down in the hospital was fun at all. It was boring! So I had to listen to something all that time!"
"But...why did Ken kill Kari?" Davis asked. "It doesn't make any sense to me at all..."
Tai smirked, "...I don't know."
"Wait, what's this?" Jun asked, picking up a note from Ken's pocket. It was labeled 'My Plan' and was covered in blood. "Well why would he do something stupid like that? Label a note called 'My Plan' and keep it in his pocket?" She opened it.
"What does it say?" Davis asked.
Jun began, "It says...: 'No one will ever know my plan! So stop reading...I SAID STOP!!' Okay, gawd!"
"No, what are you doing? You're not gonna take that from a paper are you!? Keep reading. What does the rest of it say?" Tai snapped.
"Hmm..." Jun muttered. " '...Kari was nice. But I had to kill her. She got in my way, and she knew my plan. Of course then again, by killing her...it was all a part of my plan. First Kari...then Sora, but Davis killed her for me...Afterwards, piece by piece all the digidestined would be killed. Except for a surviving 2...that's why I didn't make the injuries so severe. Then, I would be killed...and the real plan would be revealed someday...Signed, Ken Ichijouji. I'm watching you, even if...i'm dead...' ...Oooh, freaky." Jun laughed. "I think this guy's kidding!"
"He sounded serious..." Davis sighed. "And what was his plan? His real plan that would be revealed?"
"Something tells me he doesn't even know what it is..." Tai sighed. "...But then again...something's not right. Although he's dead, it still feels like we're being watched..."
"I happen to know all this stuff, and it seems he's making you feel watched, when you really aren't!...Now can we all just go home, please?!" Jun asked, aggravated.
"...Yeah...yeah, sure." Davis sighed, as they walked away. He looked back at Ken who lay there. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the rain started to pour and lightning struck the grounds outside. ...Suddenly, Davis didn't feel so safe...Someone was out there watching him...But who?
As they left, a new masked person crouched on the rooftop of the school. He\She muttered, "...Don't get too friendly now. This is just the beginning. Ken warned me about you all...and he was right...But I will prevail!"
Jun, Tai and Davis all left the school and ran home. As they did, they saw Sora, Matt, T.K., Joe-- Everyone who died...they were all alive. It was no joke. They were all running towards Jun, Tai and Davis.
Yolei gasped, "...What happened?"
"...Y-You guys?! Are alive?!!!" Davis gasped.
"Well, Davis, you fool! Why wouldn't we be?" Matt laughed. "...What were we talking about before?"
"A killer!" Sora gasped.
"Right! We have to stop him!" Izzy snapped. "...Right?...W-Well, I'm not sure anymore. What just happened?"
"You guys all got stabbed!" Tai gawked.
Kari giggled, "Tai, you're funny!"
"No, no seriously!" Tai sighed. "Joe, you killed yourself! Matt, you were angry at Joe 'cause he killed T.K. stupid-"
"What?!" T.K. grumbled.
"And T.K. you died too!" Tai snapped. "Anyhow, Izzy ran off, we found his laptop by the corner, he got stabbed, so did Yolei and Cody! Sora got stabbed, we didn't know if she would survive...whatever! Then- no! After all that, Kari got stabbed, but she was still alive and-"
"Right! He's not kidding! And I got electrocuted and had electricity running through me!" Jun explained. And all of a sudden, her arm was fine. "What?!"
"Listen, maybe you guys should all just go home." Kari laughed.
"Yeah..." Cody sighed. "...But who was the killer?"
"...Ken...You know, the boy genius guy?...They guy who's on my soccer team!" Davis explained.
"Oh!" Everyone gasped.
They all walked home, in the moonlight. But it's not over...the killer is still out there...and who knows who his next target is? Next time...will Matt be the first to go?...Or maybe Davis?...Who knows, Maybe even Cody?
...It could be anyone...the killer, that is...
