Murder

A dead body was the least thing Dream had excepted.

Let alone the dead person in question being Illumina.

"A murder has been spotted at the facility. Everyone will be going into lockdown immediately" A speaker blared. Red tinted lights flickered off and on, for dramatic effect he supposed.

Dream glanced at Sapnap, both of their faces featured masked emotions despite only one of them actually having a mask on.

Another crushing reality dawned on him at the same time, will Sapnap, the second he gets the chance, tell everyone about the ghosts and his plant abilities?

Perhaps fighting him hadn't been the smartest move.

But how was he suppose to know they'd find a dead body?

Dream was quickly rushed to his cell, before he knew it he was already there, the door ramming shut behind him.

The severity of Sapnap's discovery about him was really starting to weigh in.

Dream was covered in small scratches from the fight. His arms were also hurting a lot, tiny thorns from the vines pressing down into them didn't help.

It wasn't long before he saw Badboyhalo and Skeppy appear in front of him.

He was slightly annoyed that they didn't appear earlier in the day, perhaps if they did it, he could've avoided Sapnap overhearing, but whatever.

"I saw the facility went on lockdown, do you know what happened?" Skeppy curiously asked.

Dream was about to respond, before he noticed that Skeppy and Badboyhalo were both narrowing their eyes at each other, the air feeling tense.

"What are you guys angry about?" Dream decided that getting the answer to this question first, was much more important than answering Skeppy's question.

"Skeppy started it! He told me that he was planning on spooking a few people during the day and generally just pranking people, and I simply told him that there were better things to do!" Badboyhalo immediately yelled.

"I started the fight?? You were the one that responded to my causal comment with annoyance, you were practically begging for a fight to be started!" Skeppy retaliated.

"I did not! I was hiding my annoyance well! You just interpreted it that way" Badboyhalo argued back.

It was then that Dream realized that the reason the two were mad was not important, and quite petty.

"Okay, nevermind. We got better things to worry about, like first of all, Illumina is dead" Dream regretted asking in the first place.

"What?!" Skeppy and Badboyhalo responded at the same time.

"Did I stutter? I- we found Illumina's dead body" Dream was not in the mood for Badboyhalo's and Skeppy's arguing.

"Who's we?" Skeppy's eyes squinted.

"Me and Sapnap. It's a long story" Dream sighed as he spoke.

"Clearly it can't be that long of a story if it just happened" Badboyhalo scoffed at his response.

Dream glared intensely at Badboyhalo, but it wasn't like Badboyhalo could see it from under the mask anyway.

"Also I neglected to mention this, but why do you look like you just lost a fight?" Badboyhalo inquired, seemingly noticing the small cuts that were scattered across Dream's body.

"I didn't lose. It just got interrupted" Dream bit back in response.

"Same thing" Badboyhalo said, not understanding his point.

"It's not the same thing at all" Dream was starting to get frustrated.

"If you say so, I guess" Badboyhalo sounded very unconvinced.

"Anyways your getting me off topic. Illumina's dead and uh- Sapnap may or may not have found out that I can see Badboyhalo's ghost and also found out about my plant abilities-" Dream started to speak.

"What?! Repeat that last part please" Skeppy said, in disbelief.

"I said, Sapnap may or may-" Dream was about to repeat it before getting cut off.

"It was an exclamation of my surprise, I didn't actually want you to repeat it again" Skeppy said it like it had been obvious.

And this is why the conversation gets so off topic.

Dream cleared his throat.

"How'd he find out anyway? I thought you were suppose to be careful" Badboyhalo asked.

"I was being careful! I was trying to call out for you two to come talk since a lot had happened, and Sapnap overheard. And now I'm finding out that the only reason you two weren't listening, is because you were fighting for petty reasons!" Dream yelled in frustration at them.

"It wasn't because of 'petty' reason's" Skeppy's eyes narrowed.

Dream didn't bother responding. At that moment he was also reminded of his discovery of Antfrost.

"Oh!- and while I was helping clean the facility, I accidentally knocked down some of the more molded and rusty walls. I found the outside of a locked room, inside the room held a person that called themselves 'Antfrost'" Dream quickly explained.

"Antfrost as in the name of the person on that file we found some time ago?" Skeppy's eyes lit up in recognition.

"Yeah it was definitely him" Dream agreed.

"What file?" Badboyhalo looked very confused.

"You weren't there for it, I don't think you'd understand" Dream smiled underneath his mask, not explaining any further, nor really wanting to anyway.

Badboyhalo only scoffed in reply.

"You two are both muffinhead's" Badboyhalo muttered.

"It doesn't matter anyway" Dream replied, dismissing the insult. "The point is that literally everything is falling apart"

"Mmh, yeah. Should've hid your abilities better. Maybe don't go picking fights?" Skeppy didn't seem too worried.

Dream glanced at the cell door, wondering when they'd get out of lockdown.

"So, I need to find out who murdered Illumina. Because typically murders have a reason behind it" Dream announced.

"And how do you plan on doing that? It literally could be anyone in the facility. It could even be the scientist's" Skeppy replied.

"I'll figure it out as I go along. Illumina could've been cleaning the facility with one of the others for a bit or someone might've seen him before he died, so I'll start with asking George, Sapnap- if I can, Karl, and CaptainPuffy" Dream hesitated before continuing, "I also need to find time to visit Antfrost either later or tommorow"

"Sounds like a disorganized plan" Badboyhalo finally spoke again.

"Whatever" Dream said, his eyes narrowing.

"Lockdown is over. Please continue on your day, starting from free time" A speaker blared as the cell door creaked open again.

"That's convenient" Skeppy eyes darted to the opening door.

"That's not a bad thing" Dream responded, rushing out the door.

He had a feeling that the answer to what he wanted to know wasn't going to be simple, nor good.

I can't believe this chapter took like a month and a half to get out it. I promise I won't disappear for that long again without notice, I was just really unmotivated and needed to get all my ideas for this in order. Chapters should go back to coming out every week or 3-4 days ^^
