EXITronpa ; Escape, Exit, Elucidate!

[1] Chaos..

...I was running. In the outside world, with friends like... Firey... Coiny... Pin.... Needle... We were having fun, playing tag and chasing eachother like the young kids we were, we used to be so happy.. Suddenly, I felt the ground below me shake, and open as I fell... Fell into a void of nothing.

I woke up.

Oh... It was just a dream.. Hahah... I should've known. I looked down at my hands. They were shaking.. Why were they shaking? I laughed it off. No. Not now. We just got here! We have friends.. Even if it isn't Needle, Coiny, Pin, or Firey... Instead.. I have his younger brother. And.. I.... I don't want to think about it. I had a terrible feeling in my guts as I got upstairs to head for the supposed dining hall. I checked the clock, it was 7:05 AM. I was a little late. I didn't have breakfast the other day, nor mention it because... I just..I just couldn't. Ever since the killing game was announced to me, I had a terrible feeling.

What if I kill someone? What if someone kills me? How will I ever survive? Who could I possibly trust?

I'm.. going to ignore the feeling. I walked into the dining hall, where everyone else was, like usual. I sat down, as I began to chew on my food... Everyone seemed to be really happy and maybe today would be a nice day for my thoughts to be clear and to spend time with some of the others. Well, that was until Monoroku showed up again. What did they want this time..?
"Hello students! You all seem well wih your meals, hm?" He had his hands behind his back, looking at every one of us with a smug grin. "You all seem really cozy.. But, that isn't going to happen when I'm here! So, I'm going to... Give you a motive!" He cheered, making anyone who was talking earlier, silent. We.. We were all confused.

Motive?

What.. What's that for? "Meet me in the Gymnasium at 9 AM Sharp! It's very important~" He smiled, before suddenly disappearing.. What was left was a small piece of paper with the number 6 written on it. How odd... I was terrified though, and everyone else seemed to be aswell. "MOTIVE?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS DAMN 'MOTIVE'?!" Firey Jr growled, slamming his hands on the table as he got up out of frustration. "I'm done eating!" He left the dining hall. Everyone else was confused, mumbling to themselves. "..I guess we should head there...." Dora mumbled, as she began to get up with David to leave to the gym. I looked at everyone else, as each of them slowly got up and followed the duo. Including me. Well...

Eventually, all 16 of us stood there. The gymnasium. It was 8:59 AM. It was nearly time, and I was mumbling and fidgeting to myself when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to find it being Pencil. "Oh, hey Pencil!" I smiled, trying to make some light conversation. Pencil smiled, giving me a small wave. "Hey. What do you think Monoroku meant by motive?" She asked. I got quiet. I didn't.. Want to know. "..I don't know!" I responded weakly, trying to give the most optimistic and happy smile I could. It was hard to... Just the thought... Well. We'd find out now. Suddenly, Monoroku appeared at the pedastel again, with a microphone in his hand. "Greetings students! I'm glad you've all come, it's such an honor as your new headmaster, or host, to give you your very first motive of this killing game!" He had a big grin, giving me the creeps.

"Infront of this very stage is a small cardboard box, containing photographs of a person OR multiple people that is valuable to one of the students here... Take the photograph with your name written on it, and that's the person..." He paused, turning around and giving a undeniable giggle as he grabbed his fedora and held it up.

"I'll KILL if one of you idiots don't kill someone in two days! Now, have fun killing! The time's ticking." He growled, before disappearing. Everyone was silent... Oh no.. A motive... To kill one of us... I can't believe this.. I covered my mouth, as everyone began to slowly walk to the cardboard and take out their photographs. I hesitantly took mine... It had Leafy written in cursive on the back, and as I turned it over.... I nearly dropped it for the world to see. My eyes were filled with tears as I saw who it was.. My childhood best friend...

Pin.

I couldn't believe this. If... If not one of us kills in 2 days.. She's gone. Dead. No longer living. I didn't know what to say..... I really hoped one of us wouldn't.. But.. I don't know how I'd react to Pin just.. being gone. For good. I looked up to everyone, and they all were unhappy. Most of them had quickly left at the view of seeing their photographs.. Like Stapy, Bracelety, David, Dora, and Loser... I hope they're alright...

I slowly left the gym. I didn't know what to say.
