WARNING: This book will have some swearing, and sensitive topics. Before said topics happen, there will be a warning, but no swearing warning after this chapter.

"We're never going to kill each other," Peach scoffed as everyone gathered for breakfast the next morning. "Who does that stupid bear think we are?"

"I wouldn't be so sure," Boo scoffed, speaking up for the first time, causing everyone to look and assess him. "I wouldn't be surprised if you were the first one to kill all of us, Peach."

"What does that even mean?" Peach turned away, offended. "I wouldn't ever kill someone."

"Sure, sure," Pauline laughed. "Think what you will. I want to get out of here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one."

"I thought you were smart, Pauline," Birdo remarked. "Besides, probably not something you should share with us. After all, you heard the bear. Try to kill one of us, and fail to get away with it, and you'll die. Do you really want to incriminate yourself?"

"Shut up. As if that's solid evidence."

"By my calculations, wanting to kill someone is," Samantha piped up, nervously playing with her blue pigtails. "While it's not a great piece of evidence, it's-"

"For fucks sake, someone get her away from here," Birdo groaned. "I don't need someone to tell me all shit."

"Calm down," Rosalina coaxed, trying to get everyone to chill. "Everything's going to be alright."

"Yeah, let's all chill!" Krystal reminded everyone. "We don't want to be stressed like this."

"I'm going to have to agree with Pauline here," Kaira crossed her arms, sitting down with Saiko. "Let's not all pretend some shit isn't going to happen. If we pretend like there isn't someone who really wants to get out and will do anything for it, we're going to be blinded when a murder happens."

"Don't say that!" Soleil disagreed, her pink eyes wide with sadness. "We're not going to hurt each other!"

"Lying is dumb," Saiko crossed her arms. "Someone's going to come after one of us, and you know it."

"No! W-we're not going to hurt each other! Right!?" Sarah shrieked, looking around. The silence around her confirmed what everyone was thinking. "Please..."

"You're willing to just live here?" Toad questioned, confused. "I don't know what you have out there, but I've got a show to manage with Toadette, and the longer we're here, the more this is getting delayed."

"Exactly. I've got performances to put on," Toadette sniffed. "Sorry, but if that's what I'm going to have to do..."

"Oh," Soleil stood, playing with her pink hair. "I think I'm going to have to go.."

"What? Can't handle the prospect of one of us dying?" Ingrid asked, slightly taunting. "It's going to happen."

"Hah! Grow up," Rubi jeered, clutching her badminton racket. "Not all of us are good people!"

"Why does that mean you're mature?" Luigi asked suddenly. "You-"

"That's enough, Luigi," Mario snapped, causing Luigi to flinch and look away. "Peach said no arguing, so let's all calm the hell down!"

A few moments of awkward silence passed, before Kaira broke it.

"You're the one screaming."

"Fuck-"

"Well, you all seem to be getting along just fine!" Monokuma's shrill voice interrupted Mario, and the teens turned to look at the stuffed bear. "I just wanted to inform you all that if a murder doesn't occur in the next twenty four hours, all of you are going to kick the bucket!"

"Excuse me?" Kaira demanded, narrowing her red eyes at the bear. "That's not part of the rules!"

"Is now," Monokuma jeered. "I'm the principal, I make the rules!"

"No one likes rules!" Saiko folded her arms. "Rules are for goody two shoes, like that one over there!"

Saiko pointed to Sarah, who slunk away.

"Too bad! Disobey my rules, and you die!"

"What makes you want to do this sick game!" Mona cried out. "We just want to go home..."

"No kidding," Wario muttered. "What kind of freak are you?"

"A good freak! You're lucky I take that as a compliment," The bear sneered. "Ahah!"

"Well fuck," Waluigi sighed. "So what you're saying is someone has to kill, or else we all die?"

"That is what I just said, isn't it? You better get a move on!"

"So..." Maria looked down. "We have to sacrifice a life just to save all of us...? That's so messed up!"

"No kidding," Daisy remarked. "I... I don't even know what to say."

"How about 'we're all fucked!" Birdo laughed sarcastically. "One of us is going to have to kill to save the rest of us. Who's it gonna be?"

"If you expect anyone to answer that, you're as dumb as I thought," Boo sighed. "I've lost my appetite. I'm leaving. Honestly, tonight, we should expect something. If someone's dead... don't say I didn't warn you."

"Oh! Don't think about trying to team up, by the way," Monokuma interrupted Boo's thoughts, causing the ghost to curse. "Only the person who actually carries out the murder will be held responsible!"

The bear walked out, leaving everyone to stare in despair.

"Fuck."

Hey everyone, hope you're enjoying! If you didn't notice, the chapters will now be titled by name.

Two questions-

First murder will occur next chapter- who's gonna bite the dust?

Whos your favorite OC? (Krystal, Maria, Sarah, Ingrid, Rubi, Samantha, Soleil)

I also wanted to talk more about this book. So obviously there is going to be swearing if you didn't already notice. Some mature themes may occur such as abuse, suicide, sexual assault, etc. There will ALWAYS be a trigger warning. I know it seems like a bit much, but I want you all to be aware of what you're stepping into.

No more OC entries, by the way. Everyone's OC was used! :)

I also ALSO wanted to discuss death and stuff. If your OC is killed, sucks to suck, man. It's not because I hated your OC, it's because plotline. Hope you're okay with that, if you're not... whoops. That's what you signed up for. I will say that Rubi is probably my favorite OC besides my two gay babies (Kaira and Saiko). I mean, what?

Thanks for reading!
