Floor 2 Part 7 - Contract

A/N - I own the characters and this is inspired by the Angels of Death. I hope you guys enjoyed this. Also, it would be on the first-person narrative just in case you need to know.

I look down on Sydney's corpse and look up as I can feel my face losing colour as I see the same ninja guy that tried to kill me. Oh no... he's getting closer!
"G-Get away from me!" I yelled as I grab my high heel and throw it at him, but he ducks down. I throw my other heel again and he dodges it again, "Fuck!"

He rushes to me, where I get up, but he pins me to the ground and I close my eye; fully prepared to die until...
"That's enough!" The same speaker called out, "You're having a bit too much fun there."
"... What..." The ninja muttered as I can feel his hand no longer on my back.

I open my eyes and turn around, seeing he is no longer pinning me down and looking at the speaker.
"You have broken your contract," The speaker told him, "Thus, you must be killed as well. You are now the second target of my game... this should be interesting..."
"... Ugh... you must be joking... right?" The ninja asked, "I was literally doing what I was told. I refused to let my target go,"
"Sadly, you end up being a target yourself," The speaker told him, "I can't believe you forgot the number one rule; to never leave your floor,"
"..."

The ninja looks away in shame and the speaker continues explaining; "Well, looks like I have to change the rules a bit. Killers, you will now have two targets to kill! Have fun! Make sure Roku is killed swiftly and Sierra... is murdered gruesomely as much as possible!"
"... Why... why me...?" I asked quietly as I shake my head, "What the hell is your problem?!"
"My problem...? Hehe..." The person behind the speaker chuckled, "You, of all people, should know that answer... Sierra..."

Suddenly, the speaker shuts down again, which I got really angry and yells, "Hey! Come back here you bastard! Come back right now and stop being a vague son of a bitch!"
"There's no point..." The ninja told me as he puts away his knife and takes out the dagger from Sydney's head, "... He wouldn't come back... that's who he is..."
"... Why aren't you killing me...?" I asked hesitantly.
"Simple; the contract is broken, thus I no longer have any reason to kill you," He explained to me, "I'm an assassin; I don't kill unless I'm getting paid for it,"

That makes sense, I suppose... but why did he come here? Wasn't he told leaving the room is against the rules?
"... Why did you leave your floor?" I asked him.
"... Simple, I'm desperate for that money," He told me, "He promised me over ten thousand dollars to bring your head to him. It's honestly impossible to turn it down,"
"He-He...?" I asked since the speaker distorted his voice to the point I can't tell if they're a girl or a boy.
"Yes, a man hired me," He explained, "Sadly, I do not know his name and he was wearing a mask. I guess he is a very distrustful man,"

Damn it! If only I know his name and face, maybe I can finally figure out what his problem is with me... then again, it would be too good to be true, so of course, it wouldn't be that easy! He stares at me and says, "... That is all I know. He is a man, very likely a billionaire considering he can afford all this, has an intense hatred for you and my former employer. That is all I know,"
"... Intense hatred?" I asked in shock, why does he hate me so much?
"Yes," He answered, "Every time he speaks of your name, the tone of his voice suddenly become... aggressive."
"... I see..." I replied, "Looks like we're stuck together now,"
"It would seem so..."

Great, now I'm stuck with my attacker in this fucked situation, but at least he isn't going to try to kill me again... I hope. It would be stupid to completely trust him, so I should be on my guard. Now that I calmed down from the intense situation, I notice he has bandages over his forehead.
"Ahem... since we're going to have to work together..." I said nervously, "What's your name? I mean, I can't keep calling you ninja guy all the time,"
"... Roku Shimazu," He told me, "I'm an heir to the Shimazu clan,"
"I... I see..." I replied, "That is... a very Asian name, but  you don't... well... you have red hair and blue eyes... so..." 
"Unfortunately, I inherited my hair and eyes from my father," He explained, "I'm only half-Japanese,"
"Oh, okay that makes sense," I replied.

He looks into my eyes, which makes me a bit uncomfortable as I get up and step back a bit, where I can tell he clearly senses his distrust.
"At least you're not stupid enough to blindly trust others," Roku... complimented me... I think... I can't tell.
"Duh, I mean," I replied, "You tried to kill me earlier... did you kill those other girls too?"
"No," He replied, "Those are the victims from the previous killers. If I have to guess, this is all a game to the mastermind till you came,"
"... That sort of makes sense, I suppose..." I replied.
"..." He looks down at Sydney, and then looks at me, "What foot size are you?"

"... Five... why?" I replied.

He didn't answer my question, instead, he takes off Sydney's bloody black boots and dirty white socks, where I can see her bloody and clearly effected feet... ugh... so gross. Wait! Don't tell me he's going to...
"... Really?" I asked once I realised what's going on.
"... Either you go barefooted or high heels that increases your chances of getting killed," Roku told me.
"..." I take a deep breath and sighs, "Fine... just give me it..."

Roku gives me the boots and the socks where I put those on. God, does that girl ever wash herself? Then again, I shouldn't be surprised there's no shower, but still! Basic hygiene? anybody ever heard of that?! Though, the boots and socks almost fit me... almost since they're a little bigger then my feet, but only a half bigger.
"... Let's get out of here..." Roku told me as he walk past me.
"... Yeah..." I muttered in agreement.

I follow him through the floor where I finally spot the elevator, much to my happiness.
"Finally!" I sighed of relief as I rush to the elevator alongside Roku.

We both wait for the elevator to come, where I turn and notice Roku is a bit far away from me... and not looking at me in the face. It's the smell, no doubt about it. I would honestly be the same way, so I don't blame him. This place stinks!

Suddenly, we hear a ding, where it open up for us and we enter, the elevator close up. Then... it's him again.
"I see you have passed your second floor," The speaker said, "Now, you will have to take down the killer of the third floor,"
"It's one vs two!" I argued back, "We will survive! No matter what!"
"Hehe... are you sure about that... Sierra?"
"What the hell does that mean?!"

Suddenly, no reply. Damn him and his vague trait! Roku places his hand on my shoulder, which make me jump a bit and turn to his face.
"... Do not let your anger consume you," He told me, "It will only cloud your judgement..."
"... Right... of course," I replied as I calm down and gulp.

Here goes my third challenge... I really want this to be over soon!

A/N - Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this book and if you do, leave a comment and have a good day, my guild. Aqua out!
