The lever appeared for everyone in the stands, and as Kiara screamed for them to stop, they pulled it.

"Ahahahaha!" Dagger laughed as the slot machine appeared, spinning until they landed on Kiara.

"Wow, three times in a row! Amazing! Indeed, Miss Kiara here is the murderer of the notorious assassin, Erik Killman!"

Dagger laughed as the red button appeared and he slammed his hand down on it. The chain came forward and dragged the crying Kiara away from them.

The TV came down. There was a Dagger sprite dragging a Kiara sprite away off the screen as they all tried to ignore the fading screams of Kiara as she was dragged closer to the execution chamber and further away from life.

Kiara was found guilty.

Commence Execution Three.

*****
Textual Death

She was strapped to a chair in a small room with a giant computer screen blinking above her.

Dagger was standing next to her, looking at the screen with a smile.

First row.

She quickly translated the words, writing down the stories and books.

Dagger approved.

The giant pen above her head rose a few feet.

Second row.

Dagger approved.

The pen rose.

Third row.

It came and went faster.

Dagger approved.

Kiara bit her lip as she struggled to keep up.

The pen rose.

Fourth row.

He approved.

The pen was nearly to the top of the room, where it would disappear into the ceiling.

Last row.

His eyes turned red as he disapproved.

His hand came down on the button that released the pen, and jumped out of the way.

The pen fell on her, a shadow that covered up her terrified face.

Kiara was dead.

Now, she was free.

End Execution.

*****

Wyatt stood shocked at the blood splattered pen that slowly retracted away, leaving a bloody pile of what used to be Kiara, the Ultimate Writer.

Each execution seemed more brutal than the next.

Dagger came out of the execution chamber, a grin on his face. There was blood on his clothes and a stain next to his mouth. His eyes traveled to the blood near his mouth as his tongue licked it off.

Wyatt crumpled and lost his last meal.

"That's disgusting!" Cassie screamed. "What kind of a messed up jerk are you?"

"We eat steaks rare, don't we?" Dagger replied nonchalantly. "Ahahaha!"

"You...are truly the worst," Vega said. "Even I don't go that far."

"You idiots call me evil, and insane, and a spawn of the Devil, but think about it this way! Kiara was the true evil person here! She killed an innocent boy just so she could meet the person who's behind all this!" Dagger laughed.

Wyatt felt his stomach sink. Was it...that person?

"Who?" Thane asked. "Aren't you the one behind this?"

"That's all I'm saying! But really, you can't blame me if I executed the person who loves the person who got you guys into this mess! In a sense, I killed the accomplice!"

When the group left the trial grounds, they all had a feeling of sadness.

There was also the sight sense of curiosity among the group.

And the feeling of hope that sparked a new goal for all of them.

Dagger wasn't the mastermind. In that case...

They would find the mastermind.

They would get rid of them.

That was, assuming they all lived.
