Disclaimer: I do not own Future Diary
Jonathan was shocked to see his crush facing him.
"Emily?" asked Jonathan
"Yes Jonathan, I know you got a dead end, I know the Serial Killer is after you" said Emily
"But how?" asked Jonathan
"You think you're the only one with a future diary? You had the Deus Dream, he mentioned 11 others in the survival game, all of them have future diaries, last one left standing wins" said Emily
"Wait, so that wasn't a dream?" asked Jonathan
"Nope, now follow me" said Emily
Emily led Jonathan back to the elevator, they went to the underground parking lot, Emily looked outside.
"He's here" said Emily
"Who?" asked Jonathan
"The Serial Killer" said Emily
"Hey, how did you know where I was?" asked Jonathan
"I told you, I have a future diary too" said Emily
Emily showed Jonathan her diary.
March 13th 4:24
The Serial Killer's after Jonathan, should I save Jonathan, warn Jonathan or leave him alone?
"This thing gives me 3 options of how to handle a situation, but when I decide which one, I can't change my mind, I chose to help you" said Emily
"Why?" asked Jonathan
"Because you helped me out once, that's why you need that cane, I owe you for that" said Emily
"Thanks" said Jonathan
"Now hide" said Emily
"Why?" asked Jonathan
"I have a plan, just follow my instructions..." said Emily
Meanwhile, the Serial Killer searched the apartment building. The Serial killer was wearing a black hoodie, a gas mask, blue jeans and a fedora. In the killer's hand was a bowie knife.
"Where is he?" thought the serial killer
The killer pulled out his own cell phone
March 13th 16:30
The kid is hiding in the underground parking lot, appears to have an accomplice,
better go in for the kill quickly.
"Perfect" said the serial killer
The killer went downstairs to the underground parking lot. He searched around trying to find Jonathan.
"Little Boy, come out, come out, wherever you are" said the serial killer
"I hope Emily's plan works" thought Jonathan
The serial killer took out his diary, when he did, Emily snuck up behind him and tackled him, causing him to drop it, the cell phone slid across the ground in Jonathan's direction. Jonathan grabbed the phone while the serial killer fought Emily, before being able to pin her to a wall.
"You aren't my intended target, but by killing you, I'll not only be one step closer to getting Seventh, but one step closer to becoming a god" said the serial killer
"HEY PSYCHO" screamed Jonathan
The serial killer turned around and saw Jonathan. Jonathan held out the serial killer's cell phone.
"Lose something?" asked Jonathan
Behind the mask, the killer's eyes went wide. Jonathan smashed the killer's phone on the ground, causing it to break to pieces. Glowing yellow lines appeared around the killer's body before the killer's entire body shattered like glass.
"You did it, you got rid of him" said Emily
"That was fucking scary" said Jonathan
"You're telling me" said Emily
"Congratulations" said someone
Emily and Jonathan looked to see Deus standing nearby.
"Deus?" asked Emily
"Yes, you two have successfully taken down fourth, in truth, I knew he would be the first to die, he was too paranoid, and now 11 possible heirs to my throne remain" said Deus
"So we just need to find the other 9" said Emily
Jonathan heard static and checked his phone, the diary entry changed.
March 13th 17:03
The serial killer is dead, I've actually killed someone
"Why'd my diary entry just change?" thought Jonathan
==That Night==
Jonathan got changed into his pyjama bottoms before getting into bed.
==Dream==
Jonathan was in a dark void once again, he was standing at a podium with 'VII' carved onto the front, he looked around to see 11 other podiums each with Roman Numerals on, shadowy figures standing at each one, except the fourth podium, which only had hovering red letters saying 'DEAD END'. Deus was sitting at a throne facing the podiums.
"Congratulations Seventh" said the person standing at podium 'III'
"Yeah, way to go man, takes a lot of guts to take out a psychopathic murderer" said the one standing at podium 'V'
Jonathan knew he was looking at the other diary users, he noticed standing at podium 'X' was Emily.
"Now that you know how the survival game works, let us go over the rules, as you know, the diaries you possess are your future diaries, originally ordinary journals, these diaries now offer you a window to the future up to 90 days" said Deus
"Excuse me Deus" said the one standing at podium 'II'
"Yes Second?" asked Deus
"If what you say is true then how come multiple times, my diary has rewritten itself?" asked Second
"With these diaries, the future is able to change, say, for example, your diary foresees some catastrophe, with your knowledge of it, you can avoid it and change the future, changing your diaries entries" said Deus
"But my diary changed without me doing anything, I didn't even know that this 'Fourth' creep was after me to begin with" said Jonathan
"None of you are in full control of your own future, others can intervene and change the future for you, hence why this is a survival game, once one user is poised to kill another, a death warning will appear in the form of the words 'DEAD END'" said Deus
"How are we supposed to kill someone if we don't know who they are?" asked Eighth
"You can deduce the identities from your diaries" said Deus
"So the first thing we do is find out who's who and take it from there?" asked Eleventh
"Exactly, deducing a users identity will severely downgrade their defences, anyone who receives a dead end warning must do all they can to undo it, Seventh's death at the hands of fourth was written in stone, but through some miracle, he reduced it to scribbles in sand, whether this is from luck or cunning will determine how well you do" said Deus
Jonathan was shocked.
"Whoever survives will become my true successor, for now, return to the human world and continue your fight for survival" said Deus
"First things first, I guess" said Ninth
Ninth disappeared.
"I couldn't have put it better myself" said Third
Third disappeared
"Salutations to you Seventh" said Second
"Hope you stay alive long enough for me to take you down" said Twelfth
"Best of Luck" said Sixth
"I hope to see you soon" said Eighth
"This game should be interesting, hunting down a kid with your skills" said Fifth
"It wasn't skill" said Jonathan
"Don't worry kid, I'll be watching over you" said First
"So long little monkey" said Eleventh
One by one, the diary users vanished until only Jonathan and Deus were left.
"Meeting Adjourned" said Deus
==End of Dream==
Jonathan woke up with a shock.
"This is crazy" said Jonathan
==The Next Day==
Jonathan was on his way to class, Emily walked with him.
"You okay?" asked Emily
"I've been better, not every day you survive an attack from a psychotic murderer" said Jonathan
"Well, in the survival game, you better get used to it" said Emily
==In Class==
Jonathan and Emily were in maths class, a man with a bald heard and a grey beard entered.
"Hello students, I am Mr Stephens, I will be your substitute teacher while Mr Liam is unable to work for unknown reasons" said the man
"Huh? Wonder what's wrong with Mr Liam?" thought Jonathan
Jonathan looked down at his phone.
"As long as I have this thing, I have a target on my back, and to make matters worse, I can't even ask anyone for help, well, except Emily" thought Jonathan
Later, at the end of class, Jonathan walked over to Emily when everyone else left.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" asked Jonathan
"Not right now, I'm gonna be late for gym class, just try to wait it out, alright" said Emily
Emily left, she passed by a girl with long black hair and glasses dressed like a Goth. The Goth knocked on the door to the room Jonathan was in.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for the faculty lounge, you know how to get there?" asked the girl
"No, sorry" said Jonathan
"I figured someone there would have answers about Mr Liam" said the girl
"Who's this girl?" thought Jonathan
"He's your maths teacher right? He was also a killer" said the girl
Jonathan's eyes widened.
"What?" asked Jonathan
"Your grades are up, and a couple of your classmates say you've been uppity recently, doesn't Mr Liam's disappearance strike you as odd considering the killer died only yesterday?" asked the girl
"You don't mean..." said Jonathan
"Yeah, I mean that Mr Liam, your maths teacher, was a diary user, Mr Liam was the serial killer, Mr Liam was fourth" said the girl
Jonathan nearly fainted.
"I have to admit, I'm impressed...seventh" said the girl
"Who are you?" asked Jonathan
"IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU!" screamed the girl
Jonathan heard static and checked his phone, he had received a dead end.
"Dead End?" asked Jonathan
"OH NO YOU DON'T" screamed Emily, who came bursting in
Emily tackled the girl, but the girl dodged and landed next to an open window.
"Nice try pretty, name's Elizah Bennett, alias Twelfth, SAYONARA" said the girl
Elizah jumped out the window, she pulled out a bullwhip and used it to swing to safety.
"Come on, let's go after her" said Emily
"What's the point? I'm gonna die, it says I'll reach my Dead End in only 3 hours" said Jonathan
"Don't worry, I'll get her before that happens" said Emily
"How can you say that like it's nothing?" asked Jonathan
"Because I'll do anything to keep my friends safe" said Emily
"You consider me a friend?" asked Jonathan
"Of course, now come on" said Emily
Emily and Jonathan ran off.
That does it for this edition, hope you enjoyed
