Game Over

Chapter 14

I was wrong.

The little boy stepped forward, towards the man, with the same gleam in his eye that his father has, and raised the weapon high. Before bringing the knife down, he wrapped both of his hands around the handle, and then brought it down over the man's chest. Fresh blood exploded from the wound and covered the boy's clothes and the already dirty, gross floor. The man continued to scream as the boy took the knife out and repeatedly stabbed him, over and over. The little boy kept on stabbing him, even when his screams turned into nothing, and the man had died.

After the boy finally was done, he got up and looked around at the now clapping and cheering crowd. The crowd meaning mainly Doll mask. This was probably his first kill, and hopefully his last.

Black ski mask got up and took the bloody knife from his son. "Good job."

"I like this game, I wanna play again."

Black ski mask looked down the line of people who were left and then nodded to his son. "Ok, I guess you can."

The boy looked down the line like he had before, while they dragged the man to the corner, and then decided on an older woman. I think he might have chosen her because she was most likely not going to be able to beat him, which meant he was going to get to kill her.

Like I had expected, she lost to him.

Black ski mask handed the boy his knife again and then went to hold the lady down.

I can handle people being stabbed, but when the little boy went for her eyes, I had to look away. I could still hear her screams, but I tried my best to block them out while I stared at Kyle. He was still holding my hand, but no longer looking at me, he was staring down Josh, who was staring back at us.

I leaned over close to Kyle's ear and whispered. "Don't bother with him. You're just gonna get yourself killed."

He looked back at me quite frustrated. "He's a monster."

"They all are." I inclined my head towards the little boy and the dead old woman. "We'll get out of here and call the cops. If they let us go." I took a quick glance over in Josh's direction, to see that he was now a step closer, trying to listen in. I looked down at Kyle and I's intertwined hands. "I know who Vendetta is."

"Who?"

"My best friend's older brother. He took his mask off and told me that they had been planning this for weeks."

"Wow." He looked away from me and towards the old woman's dead body, looking absolutely disgusted.

I followed his gaze to see the woman's eyes gouged out and the little boy holding both of them. "I hope this is over soon."
