Ep10
The same day in the Nightclub
Estelle
Xixi stand at guard until my signal. I will try my best to create an opening for you
Rouxi
I will be near the eastern balcony and won't fire unless you raise 3 fingers, got it?
Kaiser
That works. I didn't bring my pistols today Stel. If anything happens I will be close by
Estelle
Let me start the action plan then. *Slides past groups of dancing people to get close to the stage*
Estelle
(All this attention on him is just creating extra hassles for us. What would Kai do in this situation? Probably create a distraction, right?)
Estelle
*runs up and down the walls trying to find the power point*
Hayle
[to the mic]: And this is going to be the last song for tonight! Are you all ready to part ways with me!!? *speaks enthusiastically*
Crowd: We want more!!! Encore!!
Hayle
This is my favorite song! 🎶
Estelle
(The show is coming to an end already? It will make it harder to pinpoint his location if he goes off the stage! I have to move faster)
The song runs in the background as Estelle hastily runs from corner to corner looking for the switch
Rouxi
(His singing isn't half bad. Wouldn't it be poetic to die while singing your favorite song?)
Estelle
Ahh! I finally found it! *dashes through the rails to it*
Hayle
And that's it for today! Thanks for your support
Hayle
*smirks and shouts* BY WHICH I MEAN YOU 3 ALSO!
Hayle
(It's time for light out, darlings)
Estelle
*comes to an abrupt halt* Huh?! I didn't even touch the switch yet the lights went off by themselves?!
Crowd: What's this sudden darkness? Is there a power failure?
Crowd: Are those gunshots?! Did someone hijack the place?
The crowd's fear heightens because of the ominous gun shots mixed with their loss of vision
In the swirling vortex of panic and disorder, people trampled over each other in a bid to escape their unknown fears and the instinct of certain death. The air was thick of shouting and cries of help, all driven by pain and desperation
Rouxi
(what's the sudden light out? Est never gave a sign!) *puts on the goggles* (I can't catch a whiff of our target amidst the sea of people)
Kaiser
(This....is impossible right? It's not Stel's work so what's the deal even? Did the man anticipate our plan tonight to the point?)
Kaiser
(Everything's going downhill for Stel now. The screams and the darkness, I hope her painful memories won't resurface)
Estelle
(I got outsmarted, so what? I just need to imagine Kai in this situation)
*grabs her night visions*
Hayle
*shoots directly at her goggles, missing her face by a millimeter*
Estelle
Ahh! (the bullet purposefully missed my face. Is this the target speaking?)
Hayle
Can't handle a little darkness without those sophisticated devices? *the figure steps forward, nearer and nearer to Estelle*
Estelle
(The situation isn't advantageous to me at all!)
Estelle
Hah! Tells the man while wearing the same "sophisticated devices"
Estelle
(the crowd's screaming is making me unable to hear his steps also)
Hayle
Well, any last words? *points a gun at her*
Estelle
(So I can't see, can't hear and my mind is playing all kinds of delusions on me. So what?)
Estelle
Last words? I have got a whole essay but you won't be there to hear it
Estelle
I have got special help from above today after all
Hayle
*chuckles* Didn't take you for the religious type. I am impressed though, believing in God even while living in the gutters is admirable
Estelle
(Kai, remember the words you said before sending me down here? I hope you haven't broken your streak of 12yrs, even though I am the one lost in darkness now)
Estelle
*raises 3 fingers*
Hayle
Really now? You are raising your hand to pray? That's cruelly funny to me now. But...
Kaiser
(Stel managed to find him in the darkness?!)
Kaiser
*screams* ROUXI! FIRE AT STEL'S DIRECTION!!!
Rouxi
*pinpoints her aim* (The sign! But how is she so sure, even in the darkness?)
Hayle
....your time ends now. Your help from above never came after all
Estelle
My help from above always meant a sniper from the rooftop *smirks*
Hayle
(Gunshots?! How did sh-)
