Disclaimer: The following characters of "Prom Night: A Night To Die For" have not been created from me. Square Enix and Disney have the legal rights of owning the game Kingdom Hearts and its characters. The setting takes place in Destiny Islands but that's about it. The plot is from the movie "Prom Night" and is not mines but I have adapted it where some original written work is in the story so it's not a complete copycat off the movie. Some original characters have been made for the story.
Riku bangs on the door. "Open up!" he yelled.
Namine and Kairi get up and make a quick run. Above them was an exit sign to tell where the stairwell was.
"How could I miss that?" Kairi thought when Riku cuts one of the plastics and heads towards the two.
"Aww. Sweet reunion. You were lucky but you won't be so lucky now!" he said.
"RUN!" Namine said holding onto her arm dragging her. They run fast looking up to where the exit sign took them as Riku followed them with the knife in his hands.
The two make a quick turn to find the exit but it was locked. "Damn it!" Namine yelled juggling the door.
"We need something," Kairi said looking around. The duo looks around pushing things away making a mess looking. Kairi then finds a useful hammer as a weapon. "Let use this to our advantage."
"Hey, lets throw all this stuff to make it harder for Riku."
"Yeah."
Kairi drops the hammer. The two started to throw a bunch of stuff up the stairs to give Riku a hard time getting to them. It soon start to become a big pile mainly of paint buckets but there was tools and such to block the path. Namine throws one last paint bucket when it hits Riku as he opened the door.
"Damn you!" Riku was feeling the pain on his forehead.
"Whoops! My bad!" Namine said sarcastically.
"Let's go now," Kairi said taking the hammer from the floor taking Namine's hand but then Namine trips on the stairs and the two tumbled down the stairs making Kairi let go of the hammer falling down the stairwell to the bottom as a loud sound was heard.
"Sorry," Namine apologized.
Riku then started to get rid of all the stuff they threw to block his path. "Don't run. Come back with to me Namine," he said.
"In your dreams you asshole. Let's go," Kairi says bringing her up and to the lobby but they find the door locked also.
"Why is everything locked mostly?!" Namine complains juggling the door to see if anything happen.
"To the basement," Kairi says dragging her again. As they hear the footsteps drawing near, they soon enter the laundry room.
Cloud and Roxas takes the stairwell (a different one) running up the stairs to get to the third floor. They eventually get there and see a broken door.
"Stay back Roxas," Cloud said taking out his gun and heads towards the broken door entering it. Roxas followed Cloud and looked around looking at the mess.
"I'm sure they were here," Roxas says.
"What makes you say that?" Cloud asked. Roxas then picks up Namine's shawl and purse showing it to Cloud. Cloud looks around more and decides to check under the bed. He slowly aims his gun and drops down seeing Selphie's dead.
"Oh man," Cloud said.
"What?" Roxas asked looking under the bed seeing the body. "Selphie."
"Roxas I want you to check the living room. I'll look around more here," Cloud asked as Roxas goes into the living room.
Roxas looks around the room and at the corner of his eye there was a small spot of blood at the bottom cabinet. He bends down reaching his hand out to the handle griping it. He didn't know what to expect. He didn't know what could be in here. It couldn't be another dead body but then again, there is a blood spot. He slowly opens it up when a body comes all of sudden. "Aah!" Roxas yelled backing up a little. Tidus's body was the one. There were bloodstains on his shirt and there was blood coming down from his head running down his face. "Tidus!"
The laundry was dark and creepy. There were lights but they were not that bright Namine and Kairi get many laundry baskets to block off the door. "You think this will hold?" Namine asked helping Kairi pushing a basket.
"Ah huh. We just pushed like four of them," Kairi answered.
"Look there is s-something I should tell you Kairi."
"What is it?"
"I n-need to t-tell you that Selphie's dead." Namine started to mumble when she said Selphie.
"What?"
Namine mumbled again.
"What?"
"Selphie is dead!" Namine soon started to cry. "And I'm sure Riku got Tidus, Hayner and Olette. I mean, why d-do you think they never showed up? They're dead!"
"No, no!" Kairi said going to her hugging her. "You don't know if the rest are dead. We just have to find out." Suddenly Riku opens the door but not fully due to bunches of baskets blocking it.
"Do you really think this would hold me?" He soon starts to barge it open.
"Quick! We gotta hide Namine. You have to hold in your feelings right now," Kairi says taking her somewhere. Kairi looks around and sees a big washing machine and takes Namine with her. "In here Namine."
"But I barely see anything," Namine said wiping her tears.
"Just go!"
Namine goes in as Kairi comes closing the door. "It's so dark here. I swear there are dirty clothes in here that the maid forgot to wash," Namine says feeling fabric by her. Riku then breaks open the door hard and falls onto the floor and gets up quick. He just made a grin walking to the light switch to turn on more lights. Soon the whole room was bright.
Namine then feels something coming down her arm. She takes her left arm to touch what is on her right arm. She slowly touches it feeling something thick. It felt like some kind of thick liquid. Namine slowly moves her to her view so she didn't see what was behind her. On her hand was blood. She was about to scream but didn't. "Kairi."
"Yeah?" Kairi replied still looking if Riku was out there.
"What is behind me?" Kairi turns around to see something shocking.
"Whatever you do Namine, don't scream," Kairi whispered. "Why?" she whined out slowly looking back.
She soon sees Hayner's dead body with eyes opens and throat slit along with Olette whose throat was also slit. She covers her mouth fast as tears roll down her face. Kairi was shocked also closing her eyes at the sight. Then Riku grabs Kairi right behind her head locking her.
"Aaahhh!"
"NOO!" Namine screamed.
Kairi struggles out of grip giving Riku a hard time to kill her. Namine comes out dropping onto the floor when Riku speaks up.
"Come with me or I'll let your friend die," he threatened with the knife near her neck. Namine didn't know what to do. She was in boiling water. "Fine then." Riku was about to slash Kairi's neck when Namine stops him.
"Wait! I'll come with you. Just l-let her go." Riku just smiled and let go of Kairi as Namine walked to him.
"I knew you came to your senses," he said.
Namine walks to him with her face down when she grabs a pole by her and hits him in the face. "Lets go!" Namine ran off including Kairi and they just exit the room and run up the stairs as fast as they can. Kairi trips and Namine grabs her hand helping her up. "Come on!" Kairi gets up and keeps looking back while climbing the stairs. The two get back on the first floor as Namine starts banging the door.
"Help! Somebody help!" Namine was banging the door hard wn.
"Open up!" Kairi yelled looking around knowing the hammer was at the bottom of the stairwell, which meant it was by the basement. "I'll be back."
"Kairi, no. He is right there."
"I know but we have to get out of here."
Kairi goes back down the stairs slowly noticing the hammer by the end of the stairs. She bends a little slowly grabbing the handle and runs back upstairs. "Get back." Kairi raises the hammer and plunges it down knocking off the handle.
Riku was right behind them when Kairi takes a hold of Namine's hand opening the door ending back in the lobby. Both girls look behind them when they bump right into someone. "AAHHH!" they both screamed, as it appears to be Roxas and Cloud.
"Roxas! I'm so glad y-you're here! H-he is in the stairwell. He killed all of our f-friends. All four of them!" Namine cries holding onto him tight. Cloud goes to the stairwell as Roxas takes Namine and Kairi out of the hotel.
Cloud goes into the stairwell getting his gun and looking around while aiming but Riku was nowhere to be found. He went and down the stairs and checks the second floor but sees nothing. "Fuck."
Roxas, Namine and Kairi soon exit with Namine looking crushed holding onto Roxas tight.
"Kairi!" Sora calls out running to her.
"Sora!" she replied back running to him giving him a hug crying a little also.
"Okay we need you to get home so you need to get in," Hiro said getting Namine in the police car. "Your relatives are waiting for you. I'll drive you there."
"D-don't leave me," Namine was crying still getting in.
"Don't worry. I'll come with you," Roxas said getting in.
"We'll come too," Sora said taking the passenger seat as Kairi sat in the back with Namine and Roxas. Roxas got into the car holding her close to him. She was devastated, hurt, sad, and scared at the same time. She just couldn't control her tears including herself.
"It's alright Namine," Roxas said.
"Yeah," Kairi said joining the hug.
"We're with you through this," Sora said as Hiro gets in and drives off.
As Hiro drives his phone rings. "Hello?"
"He is somewhere in this hotel because every exit point is covered," Cloud says looking around the second floor. "We are going to search this place every floor, every room from top to bottom. How is the Namine?"
"She is fine. Her boyfriend and friends are with her right now. I'm taking them home right now," Hiro answered.
"When you get there, I want that entire place covered."
"Got it Cloud," Hiro said hanging up his phone. Cloud then goes back downstairs to the lobby.
A SWAT car soon pulled in as many SWAT officers with guns come out covered in armor and guns going into the building.
"Alright everyone. There is five people dead, one maid and four kids. We have covered all the exits so there is no way he couldn't escaped. I want you guys to start from the ground all the way up. Search every room and anything. I wanna hear any report if you spot him. Now go!" Cloud orders them as the whole police and SWAT storm around to search the hotel. Then a guy passes him. "Hey! I want you to tell everyone out there to go home now," he said.
"Alright. Will do sir," the guy said going out.
"Is all the staff cleared?" Cloud asked as a group of staff members passes him to clear out the hotel and asked if everyone was out without bothering looking.
"Yes sir," a man answered.
Namine, Roxas, Kairi, Sora, and Hiro arrive at Namine's house when Rinoa and Leon come out of the house. "Namine!" Rinoa called out as she got out with Roxas's tux covering her. "Oh my god! Oh my god you're safe!" Rinoa held her tight relieved. The others soon get out of the car.
"It's all happening again," Namine said still devastated.
"You guys okay?" Leon asked Namine's friends.
"Yeah," Roxas answered. "I called my parents and told what's going on. I wanna stay with Namine tonight and so do the others," Roxas said.
"It's alright," Rinoa said taking Roxas and Namine into the house as Sora and Kairi follow.
"I'm Detective Hiro sir," Hiro introduce himself.
"Hey," Leon said shaking his hand. "How many exits are there?" Hiro asked. "There is the front and back why?" Leon asked.
"Tell me you caught this animal?" Hiro didn't answered as Leon just went back into the house.
SWAT team and police officers start to barge into every room with guns and armor looking for Riku. They were checking every floor. They even check the ballroom. "Are we all clear?" an officer asked.
"We're all clear," another one answered as they start to turn off the power and close the doors. They even find Hayner and Olette's dead body in the washing machine.
Back at the house
"Faculty, staff and guests have all evacuated the hotel onto the streets. We're don't have all the info but we will be here live for you to keep you updated. Just to recap, a night that was supposed to be one of the greatest nights of a student's life may have ended in the luxury Destination Destiny Hotel," the news reporter said on TV that Leon and Rinoa were watching in their room upstairs. Now they are starting to bring body carts into the hotel.
"What is going on detective?" a male news reporter asked.
"This is an active crime scene investigation. If we have anymore info we will tell you," Cloud answered when they start asking more questions but he ignored them.
There were a few police cars outside of Namine's house and a few guards watching over it. Hiro was just sitting in his car keeping a lookout. Sora and Kairi were downstairs in the living room laying on the couch. Kairi was on top of Sora holding him and him clutching onto her as they watch the news also. Roxas just goes to the window without his tux on with only his black pants and his white-collar shirt with an unbutton collar while Namine was in bed in her baby blue pajama top and white pajama pants with a baby blue hood on.
Leon opens the door coming into the room. "Look, if you need anything, we are right down the hallway," he said closing the door. Namine gets up grabbing the remote turning on the TV.
"What are you doing Namine?" Roxas asked getting in bed with her.
"I'm checking to see if there is anything on him," she answered flipping through the channels when it finally reached the news.
"Four students have been killed including a maid and a man found in a trunk of a car. Police has reported this," the newswoman said.
"They're dead!" Namine said tearing up.
"No," Roxas said softly.
"They're dead. Roxas they're dead. He killed them all. I saw all there bodies except for Tidus. They're dead because he was trying to get to me," Namine cried.
"I was the one who found Tidus's body and you think I didn't feel the same way?" Roxas asked. Namine just looked away.
"Look Namine, it isn't your fault. This is all him and I'm going to be here for you," Roxas said holding her tight.
"Am sorry," she said crying from everything. Roxas then laid down bringing her with him still holding her.
"Listen, I'm going to be here like I said. I will be watching over you. I love you," he said. Namine was tearing up so bad. First her family and now her friends had to take the price all because of Riku just trying to get to her. She almost lost all of her friends and was lucky enough to find Kairi alive. She thought her nightmare was over but it was only the beginning when he killed her family. Roxas knew the state she was in and just couldn't do anything about it. All he could do was love her and hope she will be okay.
Back at the hotel
Everyone had not found Riku. Now they are starting to pull out the dead bodies of all the people that were killed out of the rooms. Cloud was in the suite sitting on a bed with his face down without his coat with gun holders on him. Riku purchased with no luck whatsoever of finding him. He couldn't believe that he would get out. There was only one exit and that was the entrance to the hotel. He was disappointed. "That's it. We've search every room and floor and no sign of him," Yuri stated coming in the room.
"What are we going to do about the press? There are getting hasty," a guy asked him.
"I don't know," Cloud said. "I don't know." At the corner of his eye he sees something. Blood drops started to appear on the corner of the bed blanket. "What the hell?" he said looking up to see a vent with a trail of blood on the corner. He gets onto bed standing on it as he opens it up. He couldn't see anything and he knew couldn't reach it, so he asked for a ladder as someone tries to get a ladder.
Hiro was still in his car looking around the area for any signs if Riku could be around. There wasn't any sign as there was nothing in sight.
Someone brings in a ladder lining it up with the vent so Cloud checks it out.
"Someone give me a flashlight," he asked as someone gives him one. He climbs onto the ladder turning on the flashlight now looking into the vent. All he saw was pipes and wires. Then a hand comes out of nowhere landing on his shoulder making him get out as body comes out hanging from the vent still. It was the guy Riku killed from earlier. His face beat up and his throat was also slit. He was wearing nothing other than a plain white t-shirt and boxers.
"Oh my god," someone said.
"It's Ray," a hotel person said. Cloud then remembered something from before.
"Is all the staff cleared?" Cloud asked as a group of staff members passes him to clear out the hotel and asked if everyone was out without bothering looking.
"Yes sir," a man answered.
That male voiced was actually Riku's voice. If Cloud looked back, he could've known that on them was Riku since he has sliver hair. "Damn it! He was right by me!" he said running out of the room grabbing his coat and asked if anybody talked to Hiro.
"Ten minutes ago. He said everything all right," a female cop said as Cloud runs off.
