(Thanks to zackt2010, Zro-Kemuri 9t6, Can't Get Any Better, jamesss, Lance-Dusk, and angiee 2282 of course for the reviews! So, the last chapter in Jigsaw's city! I do wander who the next person will be to confront the others... Also, I confirm a death which you have likely guessed.)
Max, Mila, and Zeke were making their way back to the armoured truck, so they could treat the injured properly. Max still hadn't told Mila about his left hand, and hoped she wouldn't find out. She had too much on her plate right now. Zeke was making sure they got there safely, and weren't attacked by anyone.
William, Leslie, and Tally had gone to find the others, who had hopefully remained in their rooms.
LINE BREAK
Tally walked slowly, her small frame dwarfed by the tall buildings. The hot desert air caused a trickle of sweat on her forehead, but she quickly wiped it away. 'Something's not right about that William...' she thought to herself as she walked. 'If I try to look into his mind, I'm just met with the equivelant of a brick wall. He can't block my mind powers, can he?'
"Oi! Girl."
Tally turned, and sighed as she saw Conner striding towards her. 'Great... and I get him. He reeks of goddamn murder.'
Conner walked over to Tally. "What? Are you not going to greet me? Ah well. I suppose good ol' William's dead then?"
"No." Tally curtly replied. "Why would he be dead?"
"Well, considered Jigsaw said that William failed his task, thus locking all the doors. But something must've happened, right? Which is why I'm out."
"What?" Tally narrowed her eyes. "William never said anything about that..." she shook her head. "Well, come on then. The others should be at the truck."
LINE BREAK
Leslie massaged his scarred face in thought. There was something fishy about William, but he just couldn't place his finger on it. As he passed buildings, he tested the doors, but most were locked, so he continued to walk, trying to think what he would have chosen if Zeke and Tally hadn't appeared.
As Leslie half-heartedly went to open a door, he shot forward, causing him to go unbalanced. Leslie tripped forward and fell to his knees. "Ow... damn it..." Leslie shook his head in the dim light, but suddenly gasped.
In front of him, face down and unmoving, was Damian, his left arm looking like it had reached towards the door.
"Damian? Hey, Damian." Leslie grabbed Damian's shoulder and flipped him onto his back, and gasped in disgust. Damian's jaw was completely gone, all that was there was ripped muscle and flesh, his tongue lolling out like some sort of small animal. The top set of teeth were crooked and some were missing. His hands were likewise mutilated, practically split in half. Leslie shook his head, and put a finger to Damian's neck.
Just as he thought, Damian was dead. Most likely due to blood loss.
LINE BREAK
Alex sat with his head in his hands, slouch against the wall. Next to him leaning against it, but standing up was Rain, while Riley was in the corner, thinking about how it was her fault Jeffrey's corpse was a couple of rooms back.
"W-why can't you use your diamond, again?" Riley asked for what could be counted as the thirtieth time.
Alex sighed patiently. "I can only manipulate it by its mass. The best I'd be able to do is make a hole big enough for our hands to get through, because of the thickness of the wall."
"So we are actually trapped? We are actually going to die here?"
"Seems that way." Alex shrugged, massaging his temple.
"No!" Rain exclaimed, looking to the door. "There has to be some way out. There always is. What can I use, Dammit!" Rain looked around, but the floor and walls were clear, there wasn't even a water pipe, and the water on Alex had all but evaporated now. "Always has to be..." As Rain placed her hand against the door, it opened, causing her to stumble forward in surprise. She landed hard on William's chest.
"William!" she exclaimed in surprise. "I thought you died! Jigsaw said..."
"Jigsaw's defeated." William said instead as Riley and Alex made their way to their feet. "We've finished here." William looked further in the room. "Where's Jeffrey?"
The three became quiet.
"I-" Riley started.
"I killed him." Alex suddenly said, surprising not only Riley, but William and Rain too. "Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out a way to avoid one of the traps without killing one of us. I figured that out of all of us, Jeffrey should have died."
"That is indeed unpleasant news." William muttered. "Another dead."
"Another? Who else?" Rain asked.
"Victor." William replied. "But, enough about grim news. Follow. We're going back to the truck.
As the four walked on, Riley dragged back with Alex.
"Why'd you do that?" she asked.
"I have a feeling that Jeffrey's death will come back to haunt us. And something will happen as a result of it. You have much more potential than me, so I'll happily risk my life."
Riley looked up at him, and smiled slightly. "T-thanks..."
"No problem."
LINE BREAK
Trent was throwing his knife in the air and catching it as the group consisting on Max, Mila and Zeke approached. He grabbed the knife and put it back in the loop and grinned at them.
Max was instantly hostile. "Who are you? A demon, one of those..."
"Trent." Zeke said stiffly, walking forward. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were killed back in Crystal Lake."
"You underestimate me Zekey." Trent said, grinning as Zeke showed annoyance of what he called him. "I was just doing what I was told, just like all of you are doing."
"What do you mean?" Zeke asked, as Max helped Mila into the truck.
"Oh... I'll wait until you'll all here." Trent said.
LINE BREAK
About ten minutes passed until Leslie came, his face down trodden. But when he saw Trent, his eyes widened.
"Trent? W... what the hell, when did you... what!" Leslie stuttered, shaking his head.
"Hahah, the same as always, right Carlson?" Trent grinned. "Well, the same as the other's, I'll explain once everyone's here."
LINE BREAK
"Who the fuck are you?" was Conner's first words to Trent, who raised his eyebrows. Tally had already made her way on to the bus.
"Don't talk to me like that." Trent replied, smiling slightly at this person.
"I'll talk to you however the hell I want to." Conner sneered, glaring at Trent. "So, I repeat, who the fuck are you?"
"Straight to the point huh. Well, I'll talk in the..." Trent stopped as Conner grabbed his collar, standing much taller than Trent.
"I don't believe you understand, d'ya?" Conner asked. "I asked. Who. The fuck. Are you?"
Trent pushed Conner backwards, but Conner instantly ran forward and punched Trent in the stomach
"You fuckin' prick..." Trent said with gritted teeth, suddenly going for a punch at Conner. Conner ducked the swing and kicked out, but was grabbed by Zeke as Leslie grabbed Trent.
"Hey! Get the fuck off of me!" Conner exclaimed, quickly breaking Leslie's hold. "Don't fuckin' touch me." Conner glared yet again at Trent, before going into the truck.
"Hah!" Trent exclaimed after he was let go. "I'm sure I'll get on with him perfectly."
LINE BREAK
Finally, after five minutes, William, Rain, Riley, and Alex appeared. As Rain, Riley, and Alex moved onto the bus, William walked to Trent, not surprised in the least.
"How ya doing old timer." Trent asked.
"I should ask you the same question Trent. Did you find anyone?" William asked.
Trent looked to Leslie and Zeke. "Well, let's talk privately sometime, shall we? I don't want unwanted ears listening in."
"Fine." William repeated. "I don't suppose you've seen Paige, have you?"
"Paige?" Trent repeated, eyes widening. "Been a long time since I heard that bitches name. But no, I ain't seen her. Why?"
"She ran off... I guess she really did then." William muttered, putting a hand on his face.
LINE BREAK
"Oh? So Jigsaw has already been beaten has he?" A shadowed figure in a tuxedo said to himself in a pitch black area. "Hah. He was always a softy. But three dead? That's a good sign."
(So there we go. The group of fourteen faced against Jigsaw and left the city with Eleven.
R.I.P: Jeffrey Jebidiah, Damian Cane, and Victor Kinsley. But the list shall go on until only one remains! XD I love killing off characters, although it's hard with these people."
