BeccaWise4's POV

There was no one-way glass this time.

I could see the group and readers.

We were in an entirely white room with a garage-like door on the opposite end of the room. To my right stood Known2U and to my left stood ilbarker.

I had absolutely no clue why they wanted to die with me.

They were crazy.

I had MonoKirby in my arms, and he looked scared.

I saw KitKatAttack101 and Cassia16 chanting my death.

Yeesh, do they not like me that much?

Jerome was staring at them.  He looked a little scared.

I looked down at the trembling ball in my arms and made a decision.

I placed MonoKirby on the ground.

He looked at me, confused.

I smiled warmly and placed my hands on his head.  Restituere.

A small ball of light enveloped MonoKirby, and when it disappeared, there stood the pink, squishy, original Kirby.

Kirby looked at himself and at me.

Kirby, go.  You had no part in this besides being controlled by me.  Go to Jerome and Mitch.  They'll take care of you.

Kirby looked at me sadly and hugged me.  "I'll miss you, Becca."

As to you, Kirby.

Kirby flew up and over to Jerome.

Jerome looked confused for a second, but when he saw the look in my eye, he knew what I wanted.

A final request.

Protect Kirby.

I looked at the two readers with me for a second before sighing.

Let the execution begin....  I said quietly.

The garage-like door opened up, and....

Oh no.

You cannot be serious.

Known2U and ilbarker looked confused, but I was downright terrified.

Two beings stepped through the doorway, brandishing iron swords.

They were pale red, had 4 arms, ant-like antennas, black where the white of the eyes would be and entirely red irises and pupils, and razor-sharp teeth.

And they looked angry.

An angry Cythrin is never a good thing for anyone nearby.

"What the heck are those?"  ilbarker asked.

I gulped and backed up a bit.  C-Cythrins.  Alien beings in this book I'm writing behind-the-scenes.  They're the most aggressive of the 3 types, and when they're angry, you DON'T want to be anywhere near them.

Known2U stared at the ant antennas on their heads and backed away faster than me.  "A-A-Are they b-bugs?"

Sort of.  They're built the same way as humans besides the bits we see like the antennas, extra arms, eyes, so forth.

The Cythrins were staring us down and walking forward slowly.

Soon, they were only a few blocks away from us.

ilbarker ran towards the group swiftly, as if she forgot something.

"Quentin!  I just wanted to say sorry for thinking it was you!  PWEES FORGIVE ME----"

One of the Cythrins had dashed after ilbarker.

ilbarker stood rigid as she looked down, an iron sword sticking through her torso.

Her last words?

"At least it isn't doctors or boats...."

The Cythrin pulled his sword out, and ilbarker collapsed, dead.

Quentin frowned.  "I forgive you, dood."

I turned to Known2U to see her farther away from me.

A Cythrin was stalking closer to her.

Ok, though these two were insanely crazy for wanting to die with me, I can't have another reader die.  ilbarker died.  I can't have Known2U die.

I ran towards them before being grabbed by the wrists from behind.

I yelped as I flew into the air.

I twisted my head to see the other Cythrin grinning evilly, his bloody sword in one of his lower arms.

I tried to kick him, but kicking backwards isn't as easy as kicking forwards.

He just held me in the air as the other Cythrin walked to Known2U, who ducked out of the way and ran towards me.

Of course, the other Cythrin grabbed her wrists from behind, having her suspended in the air.

She kicked about, but eventually just hung there.

I felt the tip of the Cythrin's sword poke my upper back.  The other Cythrin must've done the same because Known2U froze, too.

We stared at each other for a second before they pushed their swords through our bodies.

I held my breath.

Known2U smirked strangely at me as the light left her eyes.  The Cythrin removed his sword from her and dropped her on the ground.

I was having a hard time keeping conscious.

Or alive.

I finally let go of my breath, coughing.

Blood dripped out of my mouth.

The Cythrin pulled the sword from my body and dropped me, leaving with his buddy back through the doorway.

It closed behind them.

I turned my head to the group.

I smiled, then closed my eyes for the last time.

It is finished....
