FINAL CHAPTER
"The Overseer"
Avia, Simon, Tom, and Aaron step beyond the door to find themselves. Beside them was Thomas, dead.
Standing before them is Brennan, Deanna, and Damien. Horatio, Thomas, and Bailey lay on the ground. Brennan has his gun trained on a man in front of him.
"Shoot me if you like, Brennan, but I don't think you will. You'd made it to this room on multiple occasions, and yet have always listened to what I had to say. I can't say the same for the rest of you." The man held up his hands, inviting you all to step closer. "Please, hear what I have to say. There's one final thing to do before this cycle is complete, and circumstances have made it so that this cycle will likely be our last."
"Cycle?" Damien blurted out. "What are you talking about?"
"Shut up," Brennan muttered, lowering his gun. "Tell us everything you know."
The man smiled. "Of course." Bailey and Horatio began to stir awake. Horatio complained of his head hurting. The man paid them no mind. "I know you all very well, and yet none of you know me. Normally, a student or a member of school faculty would be aware of who their principal is, but not in this case. In every cycle I am unseen until the very end, and that is how I like it. Things, of course, are a bit different every time, but some things remain the same. For example, the Overseer... who do you think that was? Different almost every time... funny how that works, huh? The Overseer lied to you, that much I'll reveal. He or she is usually so honest and tells you up front about the agent in your group. This time, he didn't, and instead hoped to catch the three anomalies within the group."
"You see, three of you had a power that has never been present within a cycle before. Someone's tampered with the system, and that unfortunately indicates that this will be our last cycle."
"Our last...?" Horatio coughed as he got to his feet. "What is the meaning of this you foul cur? What are these cycles?"
"Hmm..." The man nodded. "This was the 58th cycle. Each cycle takes place over a month of normal high school life before-- oops-- the school is taken over during Prom. A game is played, and various amounts of people meet their end before a group end up here, where I am. I give them the final task, they complete it, the cycle is renewed again. The point of this is to break you all down until the Dark Presence can take over your form and head out into the world, spreading their darkness wherever they go. It's usually a simple process to copy one that has been lost within the Dark Place, but your original selves aren't quite so unfortunate."
"Original selves...?" Damien looked around, at everyone still remaining. "Are you saying we're clones or something?"
"Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. It doesn't matter, as your final task doesn't require that knowledge. You have a chance at leaving the cycle, if you correctly determine who the Overseer and his or her agent is. As this is to be the last, you better hope you get it right."
The man cupped his hands together. "Interestingly, both the Overseer and the agent are in this room right now. Do try to realize that the Overseer has been each of you at some point in time."
