Chapter 6

Yeri dropped the note and tripped. She couldn't breath.

Wendy was going to kill Irene.

Tonight.

She quickly got up and tried to breath. She ran out of the door and pressed the elevator button's like no tomorrow. "Fucking hell," She whispered. This was so out of control. As soon as the elevator arrived, she didn't waste time and pressed '3'. She needed to hurry.

When she arrived on Irene's floor, it was eerily quiet. Almost as if she was in a horror movie which she, ironically, kind of was. She slowly walked toward's Irene's apartment, and she saw that the door was slightly open. She went closer, but then suddenly, the door opened, and she heard Wendy's voice. She quickly turned and hid behind a pillar.

"I'm going to go bring something," Wendy snickered, "Stay here or die." She said before leaving the apartment, with the door open. Or at least that's what Yeri heard; the footsteps. She slowly came out of the pillar and started walking towards Irene's apartment. The door was wide open; as if it was awaiting Yeri's arrival.

She looked through the door and saw Irene, parallel towards her. Yeri gasped; Irene was bleeding from her nose and head. She'd been tied to a chair and her mouth was taped. "Irene!" She whispered, as she entered the house. "I'll save you."

But Irene shook her head 'no', she shook her head furiously and Yeri looked at her questioningly. "Irene... I'm not on in this plan; Wendy's acting alone. I'll help you get out. I won't kill you."

Irene still furiously shook her head, as Yeri came closer to her. Just then, the door was slammed shut. Before she could turn around, Wendy held her by the neck.

"Oh, but I will."

▬

Yeri looked more annoyed and angry than scared when Wendy tied her to another chair. "Why are you doing this?" She glared at Wendy. "You were the most sensible one in that forest."

Wendy just smiled, "I was acting."

Yeri rolled her eyes at Wendy and then look at Irene with worried eyes. Irene looked like she was about to pass out any second. Wendy left Yeri's side and stood beside Irene. She smiled at Irene and took out the gun she'd taken. She as put in the second last bullet, she said, "Semi-finals... Who's next?" She crouched to Irene's height and with her knee, hit Irene's inner-thigh, making Irene close her eyes in pain. She tried so hard not to cry.

Wendy positioned the gun at Irene's head and that's when Yeri started thrashing in her place. "Stop! We'll do it fairly, Wendy!"

Wendy looked at her, unamused, "What do you mean?"

"We'll play! We'll play." She bit her lip and closed her eyes. Wendy sighed but smiled; and went to Yeri's side a untied her, as well Irene. She knew well enough that they wouldn't try anything.

▬

The three girl's sat around the same table, just like the week before. Wendy was smiling as Yeri looked down, scared. Irene sat emotionless with her hands wrapped around her legs. She held out on of her fists just like the other two.

"Rock, paper, scissors." Wendy said as sge displayed 'scissors', with Yeri showing 'rock', making her win. Win because Irene chose paper. So Irene and Wendy went again. And Wendy won. She grinned like she was the happiest woman on Earth. Irene showed no emotion and just closed her eyes. Yeri was shocked and couldn't say anything.

Wendy pointed the gun at Irene and gripped Irene's hair tightly. Yeri tightly closed her eyes.

"Yeri, open your eyes or I'll torture her. Open you eyes and watch her die." Wendy said angrily. "Do it!" She said as she gripped Irene's hair tighter, making Irene cry.

"Yeri." Irene whispered. "Just follow her orders. It's okay." And as Irene's last wish, Yeri listened; she looked at Wendy and Irene and clutched her ear tightly, even though there would no sound. Wendy smiled at Yeri, before looking at Irene deadly in the eye.

And in seconds, Irene was dead, and slumping.

Yeri started crying and she attacked Wendy from the back, making her stumble. She punched Wendy on the shoulder and tried taking the gun away but ended up just breaking off the silencer. Wendy struggled at first but then overthrew Yeri.

As Yeri backedup to save a life, Wendy inserted the last bullet and pointed it at Yeri. But Yeri having been crawling, found herself close to a book shelf.

And within seconds, she took one of the books and threw it at Wendy, hitting her stomach. It made her crouch in pain and with that distraction, Yeri threw a few more books in her direction, making Wendy fall down.

Yeri took this chance to get up and go to a bathroom and lock herself. She took out her phone and called 119. Wendy was banging on the door as the phone rang.

"Hello, this 119. How may we help?" A woman said on the line.

"I'm getting murdered!" Yeri shouted, "There's a murderer in my house. One dead body too."

The woman on the other line was shocked. As she soon as she heard it, she asked for the address and said that help was on the way. But when the line was about cut, there was a scream.

"No. No. Wendy! No, no, no--" And then a gunshot and a scream.

Everything fell silent.
