GAME OVER
SERENITY CHAMBERS HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY
COMMENCING EXECUTION
The room sets itself up, all around the room, and audience is set up of dolls, dolls without faces but still resembling people. They seem to be friends, family, and then even the students from the first two mutual killings. Doubles pop up, triples, more and more of each puppet fill up the seats. In the middle of the room, something resembling a mermaid is hoisted up. It’s almost the size of a two story building. Then more puppets show up around it, each one holding a sword. Footsteps echo. Click, clack, click, clack. Serenity enters the room with a spear in one hand. She stops walking, looking up to the mermaid figure, then starting to walk again, slowly gaining pace until she was running. The puppets of the past classes charge at her, their swords held high as they ran. She spun the spear in her hands and slashed at the puppets as she herself ran. Tetsuya, Iain, Anna H, Lohendra, Yousuke, Tommy…one by one they fell.
Skidding to a stop, she looks up at the towering mermaid, it looks back down at her, swinging its own sword at her now. She jumps back, avoiding the attack, glaring at the creature. More puppets come up around her just to be cut in half by the spear. She charges at the mermaid once more, this time getting her spear into its tail. But as she goes to pull it out, she finds it’s stuck. No matter how much she pulls on it, it won’t budge. The mermaid shrieks, striking at Serenity once more. She jumps back, looking at the remaining puppets. There…seems to be more? Where are they coming from? Some of them she can recognize from both the museum and her mom’s school pictures. Without her weapon, she can’t necessarily attack these things…she sprints at the mermaid figure once more, just to find that her weapon had disappeared. Another swing of the sword made her draw back. “Shit…” Serenity looked around, hoping one of the puppets she’d killed earlier had dropped a weapon. A crack came from the mermaid’s armored body. “BEHIND YOU.” It sounded hurt, desparate. Serenity’s eyes lit up, turning behind her when a sword impaled her chest, the light in her eyes quickly fading. Behind her stood a puppet in the image of her mother when she attended Hope’s Peak
“SERENITY!!!!” Another voice came from the mermaid, Serenity turning her attention back over as another sword entered her stomach. Looking down, a blond puppet held the handle of the new sword. Her look was familiar but she couldn’t place where she’s seen it. She coughed, blood escaping her mouth. “you lied…” Her voice small as her eyes darted around the room, vision beginning to blur as her gaze fixated on the mermaid above her. “M…om….Momm…a…” The puppets withdrew their swords, the girl landing on her knees before falling over. Vision fading…fast…she looked up again, the mermaid’s sword swinging down on her body, the last thing she sees is the sword connecting with her neck. Screams are heard from the mermaid before being cut off suddenly.
