Erika suddenly stopped short on the sidewalk.

"Erika what's wrong?" Ikki asked

"Aww man I think I may have forgotten the card to my hotel room, I really wouldn't

want to wake up Karen if she is sleeping" Erika put her hand under her chin.

Ikki stood in silence stilling playing re-runs of the breath-taking kiss she had just given

him, which sent a tingling feeling down his spine and butter flies in his stomach.

"You know I think I may have left it in the park"

"Oh is that where you were Erika?"

"Oh yes just taking a stroll to ease my trouble mind that's all"

'Hmm I think I know almost exactly where I had probably left it, near the tree where I

was spying those two. But it would be oh so painful to return, but I hafta to anyways'

Erika thought. With a huff she bravely decided to return to the park.

"Ikki can you wait here for a second I will be back soon."

"Erika but..?"

"Don't worry about I'll be back" she said running off eagerly.

Ikki stood there for awhile till she was out of sight and sighed quietly.

Erika dashed back to where the piano was behind that same tree where she had found the

card. She sighed as she watched Belmont fall asleep on Nicole's shoulder. The music was

beautiful, eerie but beautiful. She gazed upon them with some sadness deep in her heart. '

but.. I have Ikki right..? and that is who I need in my life'

Nicole's piano playing suddenly died down. Belmont seems fast asleep on her should.

The Erika gazed in horror as she saw Nicole raise up a section of her skirt revealing a

sharp metal shiny object. Erika's eyes widened, she was frozen in fear. 'What is she

going to with that knife... Is that she has.'

Nicole gently laid the sleeping and vulnerable Belmont on the piano bench.

"You know what I would have never ever guess or figure it out, but I'm sorry Belmont

but I have to do this" Nicole whispered raising the knife above his chest.

"NOOO!!" Erika suddenly dashed out form behind the tree. Suddenly the knife

descended upon soft flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Nicole started panted heavily and wiped splats of blood on from her face and

looked down to see if she had gotten her targeted prey. The piano bench was knocked

over and Belmont's body hit the ground he slowly awoke.

"huh.. what.. what happened?" he said dizzily. He looked at his shirt and his hands which

were covered in a red sticky liquid.

"Nicole what happened?" He looked at Nicole whose hair was standing on ends and her

eyes had widened at what had happen.

Erika lay in a heap on the ground, her wrists bleeding uncontrollably.

"Oh my Erika! Erika" Belmont weakly shouted he saw that Erika's right hand had been

slit with the knife when she tried to protect him. Her major artery in her hand was

damaged.

"YOU! YOU ARRGg You should die you bitch!" Nicole gripped the knife tightly in her

hands.

"Nicole.." Belmont's eyes widened in horror "Did you..?Why Nicole?" hiss eyes grew

soft and filled with tears

"Oh Well.. Belmont, you probably didn't know this but did you know that you and I are

related?"

Belmont's eyes widened in shock.

"To make a long story short. I kill you and I Inherit your parent's wealth."

"But Nicole.. you are already very rich"

Tears over-welled in her eyes "Not for long. My adoptive parents' business has hit rock

bottom and all of our shares have been cancelled, and guess what they left me.. yes all

alone and ran off. But guess what I can regain all that I have lost. By just making one

more lost that I am willing to lose." Her Voice started to quake.

Erika gripped her bleeding hand

"Oww.." She bent over and yelled in extreme pain as the blood continues to gush out.

"Erika don't worry I'm here" Belmont quickly took off his shirt and used it to tie the top

of her wrist to try and stop the blood from flowing.

"It's no use Belmont, I've had this all set-up she dies you die.. I get away and everyone

would look as your death as a suicide since you accidentally killed this girl.

For the first time ever Belmont's eyes blazed in fury. Erika struggled to look up she saw

him looking viciously at Nicole. The ground below her seem to just tilt and turn and

everything seem to double up and blur.

"Erika you gotta stay awake I will call the ambulance" Belmont broke into a run. He

dodged her first swipe with the knife at him. He tried to run out to the main road but he

collapsed from weakness.

Nicole stood over him in superiority.

"Game over" with that the knife began its descend.
