Chapter 4
“Click”
The elevator started moving again. We had to kill someone in the elevator before we reached the 14th floor.
“Darn, If only I wasn’t in an enclosed space and having every move watched” I said to myself “If only I was at an open field or something. Then I could strategize about a plan.”
“What are we going to do?” asked CosmicAce
“If you follow the rules, only one of you will die” said the voice “That’s a promise”
“We have no choice” said Dark. We all looked around, Azat, Leo, Dark, CosmicAce, Fenrir, ChaosVincent and I. One of us has to die.
“No!” said Leo “There has to be a way to do this without anyone dying!”
“Oh, but there isn’t” said the voice. The elevator is now passing the 5th floor.
“The trial!” Fenrir said “Were going to miss Cocyta’s trial!”
“Was that the purpose of this game?” I asked the voice while staring at the elevator camera “We don’t make it to the trial and it’s postponed till a later date?”
Suddenly an alarm outside rang.
“What’s that?” asked Fenrir
“It’s the fire alarm” said the voice “everyone has evacuated the building and the sprinkler system has been activated, just for fun”
“Why are you doing this?!?!” asked Leo.
“Don’t you have more important things to do?” said the voice. We were now at the 6th floor.
“I’m not going to die here!” yelled Chaos. He grabbed the gun from Dark and pointed it at everyone.
“Woah!” said Fenrir
“Duck!” yelled Azat. CosmicAce hid behind Dark. Everyone else backed away from Chaos.
“Azat! You’re new here! You’re the least important of all of us!” said Chaos as he turned the pistol at Azat “No wait, Leo, nobody will miss you if you’re dead!”
“I will!” said Leo
“Stop it Chaos!” Dark warned
“Don’t do anything you’ll regret” I said
“Blue? I don’t even know you” said Chaos
“Well, then let me introduce myself” I said jokingly “I’m Blue, Please don’t kill me!”
“I won’t say hello” said Chaos “In the end, it will just turn into another goodbye”
Chaos pointed the gun at me and pulled the trigger. The gun didn’t fire; it simply made a clicking noise. We were all surprised, but Dark took this chance and snatched the gun from Chaos. Dark then pulled out a paper fan and smacked the back of Chaos’s head.
“What happened?” I asked. Dark then inspected the gun. He flipped it open and closes several times. We were now passing floor 7.
“This gun is rigged” Dark said “Every time this gun is loaded the barrel spins. Meaning we don’t know if this thing goes off or not.”
“And that’s what makes the game funnier!” interrupted the voice “You’ll never know if you get a click or a bang! HAHAHAHAHA!”
“OH NOES!” said Azat. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a steel canteen.
“What is that?” I asked.
“Water” said Azat as she opens the lid off the canteen. I grabbed it before she could take a sip.
“A solid steel canteen” I said as I looked “And its w00tbeer”
“Give it back! I need it for stuff!” said Azat. An idea struck my head then! But I couldn’t tell anyone out loud, or else our captor will find out and kill us for cheating.
“Back to business” said CosmicAce “We only have 6 floors left!”
I put Azat’s canteen into my jacket pocket, hoping for the best. We were now at the 8th floor.
“The only noble thing to do is kill myself” Dark said “If I pull the trigger several times the gun will bound to go off.”
“No Dark!” said Fenrir “You’re a very important officer! You’ll become an official city moderator in two days! Remember all the people that will need your help!”
“Your right, but someone has to kill themselves” said Dark
I suddenly felt a wield aura, a feeling, it felt maddening. I ignored it.
Dark continued “I will not let anyone take someone else’s life. Only their own.”
Dark dropped the gun in the center of the elevator and sat on the floor.
“Whoever is willing to die to save the others, sit down” said Dark. I sat down sitting to the left of Dark. To the right of Dark was CosmicAce, to her right were Azat, then Leo, then Fenrir, and the circle came round to me again. Chaos chose not to risk dying.
“I know this sounds wrong” said Dark “But we’ll spin the revolver around. Whomever it points at will have to shoot themselves.”
“WHAAA?” said Fenrir
“That’s Russian Roulette!” said CosmicAce
“NOOOO!” said Leo. He wanted to get out of the circle, but didn’t want to be a coward like Chaos.
9th Floor, 5 more left before it’s too late.
“Any other way would be wrong and villainous” said Dark. He spun the gun and it spinned. It spin right round, like a record. A broken record, as each time the end of the gun spinned past me, my heart skipped a beat. The gun started to spin slower, and slower, and slower.
Nobody spoke a word. The gun was slowly stopping. It faced Fenrir, then me, then Dark, and then CosmicAce.
“You don’t have to do this” Dark said. But Ace had made up her mind and grabbed the gun and put it against her head. She pulled the trigger.
Click.
“Whew” said Ace “That was scary”
“Wanna try again?” said Chaos, hoping that someone would die already.
“One pull is enough” said Dark angrily “Only pull the trigger multiple times if you are sure want to kill yourself.”
We could hear giggles coming from the elevator speakers. The person watching is trying not to laugh out loud. CosmicAce put the gun on the floor and spun it. We stared as the gun slowed down again, this time it was facing me, then Dark, then CosmicAce, then Azat, then Leo.
“Uh-oh” said Leo to himself. He hesitantly picked up the gun and slowly put it to his head. I could see that he doesn’t want to do this. I leaned forward at Leo and grabbed his hand that held the gun.
“You don’t have to do this” I said. I pulled Leo’s arm to make the gun face my chest “I’ll take Leo’s shot.”
Click. The bullet wasen’t in that barrel either. I checked what floor we were on. 10th floor.
“This is too much!” said Azat. She grabbed the gun, but dropped it. The gun’s barrel then spun again. “Oops, sorry guys”
“I agree” said Ace “I don’t want to play a game to decide who dies”
“Wait” said Fenrir “Let’s look at this from the public’s perspective. If an ordinary citizen is killed with 3 officers in front of them, the reputation of the police will be ruined. If an officer dies, people will see it as a tragedy, and not as a murder.”
“So it’s between You, Dark, or I that must die here” I said
“It can’t be Dark! He’s going to be a mod!” said Ace
“So it’s between me and you, Fenrir” I said “How do we choose?”
“I got it!” said Dark. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a coin. “Heads, Fenrir and Tails, Blue.”
“Now why am I tails?” I said jokingly “Just kidding!”
Dark flipped the coin. It landed in his hand. I was really hoping it landed on the side I want. We all looked.
11th floor.
“Tails, sorry Blue” said Dark in a grim tone. I was smiling inside. Nobody dies today I thought.
He handed me the gun and I pointed it to my chest. I hope this works.
Click. Click. But then…
“STOP!” said the voice “This is getting boring. I think I’ll change the rules.”
“What?” we all said in shock.
“If one of you guys kill yourself, I activate the device and you all die!” said the voice
“You can’t suddenly change the rules!” said Dark frustrated.
“I’m the master of this game, what I say goes” said the voice in a crazy tone “And I did promise, if you follow my rules only one will die”
I was shocked, only I knew my plan and I can’t follow it through now! I wish I could communicate with Leo or Azat. Anybody! Darn, someone’s going to die!
Azat was staring at me, she was thinking. I was praying that she isn’t too drunk to learn my escape plan just by looking at me. Please Azat, Leo is too scared, Dark is frustrated. We only have two floors left. I dropped the gun and looked to see we were on floor 12. The barrel spun again.
“I’m sorry Blue” said Azat. She picked up the gun “I’m really sorry.”
She aimed the gun at my body and pulled the trigger.
Click.
She pulled the trigger again.
Click.
And pulled it again.
Click.
And again.
Bang!
“Click”
The elevator started moving again. We had to kill someone in the elevator before we reached the 14th floor.

“The only noble thing to do is kill myself” Dark said “If I pull the trigger several times the gun will bound to go off.”
