3 deaths this slightly short chapter! Can you guess who…
Aurora
I knew it would happen. I did. But I didn't want it to. I was forbidding it to.
Mental forbidding does nothing to death.
It hurt to look at him. My soul ached. His auburn hair had fallen away from its fohawk style and his eyes were usually closed.
Autumn tried to help me, but he was fading to. Infection had set in for the both of them.
I knew it would happen. I knew they would die, and I would be alone. I didn't want to be attached. But here I am, attached. They healed me when I was burnt. I had no method to heal them.
No one sent a thing. It would be too expensive, surely. But it still hurt to think that way.
I knew it had happened when Nick's face fell out of a grimace, into a look of content. As a single tear fell from my eye, the cannon shook my bones.
I pushed his limp body into the water, and the slow current pulled him with it.
After only a few more hours, Autumn stopped comforting me. His uninjured hand fell from my face, my hair, and his eyes were sorrowful and glassy.
He was pushed out to sea as well.
Feeling I had nothing to lose, I left the blue sphere, not sure where I was going.
Indigo
I saw Aurora, but I let her be. I wasn't after her, after all. She didn't deserve death yet.
But I knew someone who did.
I would hunt down Braxlin as soon as I had a plan. My plan found me.
A beautiful knife found its way to me by silver parachute.
I knew where I was going now. Kai, I just might be coming home.
Braxlin
I was dizzy all the time. I still had to kill. I still had to go home.
Pus and blood trickled out of my leg and arm. Some part of me said I was dying, and I hated that part. I couldn't die! It didn't make sense!
I heard bells ringing, and the world kept changing colors. The hoots of muttations disappeared and I couldn't hear the rush of the water.
The back of my head felt pressure, and then something I had never physically felt, maybe my brain, screamed.
Then I was gone.
Ali
The day went by quickly with fear. The berries were all gone.
The winged horses ate grass, and we followed their lead, slowly chewing the bitter strands.
3 cannons went off at different points in the day, and each time we guessed who it was, going through who was left. At the beginning of the day, there had been 10. The 4 of us, Braxlin, Aurora, Emerald, Autumn, Nick, and Indigo.
We suspected Emerald was gone. But we were wrong.
Nick, Autumn, and Braxlin. Kyrie looked at Nick and Autumn with a little bit of guilt. He was their killer after all.
Only 7 were left.
Rigel cleared his throat. "I've been thinking. There's so few people left, I think we should spilt apart."
Seraphin grabbed his hand and they met eyes. Kyrie looked at me and nodded.
"Okay." Kyrie said slowly. "What now?"
"Rigel and I will leave, and you two can stay here if you want. We're not allies anymore because there's too few of us now." Seraphin said sadly. It really was too bad, Phin and I were friends.
Seraphin led away her Pegasus, and she and Rigel both hopped onto it.
Kyrie and I could only watch as they flew away.
Emerald
I had 2 more pieces of fruit on the 7th day. Three more people died, and I felt even more hope than when I got the fruit basket.
Maybe I could go home.
Three deaths, 6 deaths to go! The hat is being unreasonable, I apologize.
If you answer, you get another point. The question is- who do you want to win, and who do you want to die next chapter?
Sponsor Points! Everything is 7 points more expensive now.
