A Story of Betrayal

The main group

I woke up in my pod the next day. I should probably go to the cafeteria and try to not think about what happened. 

As soon as I got to the cafeteria I saw Lime sitting at one of the left tables with his light green jacket on. Every one looked incredibly sad and no one was talking. I probably looked just as sad as every one else, what happened yesterday was terrible. 

I walked toward him. He noticed me before I got there. "Lemon, are you ok?" He asked. "About as ok as every one else." I answered sitting down. We sat in silence for a while. Then I asked "What happened after I went out, I remember you asking if I was ok but nothing after that." "I took you back to the pods, after we closed the windows." He answered "They're probably still closed." "We should just do our tasks so we can leave and know one else gets hurt." I say getting up and heading to admin, without eating breakfast. "We should go together just in case." Lime said following me. "We should also take the rest of the people we can trust." I say turning back to find Cherry and Cyan. 

Cyan was just entering the room so they were easy to find. "Hey Cyan do you want to do tasks in our group so it's safer." "Sure" They respond fixing their light denim jacket witch didn't have pins on it today, they looked like they just woke up. Then we all walked back toward the tables to find Cherry. 

We saw Cherry at the middle table. She was sitting behind Blackberry with her hood all the way over her face, Blue glaring at her from across the table. "What's happening?" Cyan asked sitting in the middle of the table to try and break up the fight. "He's blaming Cherry for Orange's death" Blackberry answered glaring at Blue through her midnight side bangs. "What do you do you mean?" Cyan asked took aback by how bluntly Blackberry said that. "I know Cherry was the killer, all the evidence points to her and I know it wasn't Orange." Blue said still glaring at Cherry. "You can't blame Cherry for a call that Blackberry and Coconut made." Lime interjected trying to stop the fight. "So now you're blaming me?" Blackberry said now glaring at Lime. I just stood there not knowing what to say or do to stop the fight. "No!" Lime said slightly backing away from the table. "There was never enough evidence to be sure of a killer." Cyan said and everyone looked at them "We did what every one thought was right in the moment with the evidence we had. This is no ones fault except the killers, weather it's Orange, Cherry, or someone else." "If you didn't think we had enough evidence to say they were the killer why didn't you stop Coconut from pulling the lever?" Blue glared at Cyan, his short blue hair now in his face. "I...I" Cyan tried to formulate a response, but tears began to slowly fall down their face. "Exactly, you watched some one get killed and did nothing." Blue almost yelled. Cyan started crying even harder. Lime saw Cyan crying and turned to Blue "Well what did you do?" Lime paused for just enough time for Blue to open his mouth before cutting him off "Nothing. At least Cyan tried to help. You did noting and now you're yelling at every one else." Blue didn't say anything else, just glared at every one and walked away.

"Cherry, are you ok?" I asked as Blue left. "Yeah, I'm fine." She answered shakily as she had been crying, still clinging to Blackberry. "Do you two want to go with us to do tasks?" Lime asked. "Sure." Blackberry answered, her and Cherry got up and we all headed to admin to do our tasks.

 "Thanks for standing up for me." Cherry said as we walked, her hood still covering her eyes. "Of cores we're you're friends." Cyan said with a smile. Cherry smiled back. 

When we got to admin Blackberry went to the wires next to the door with Cherry still next to her. I slowly head to the table, I was scared to go behind it since the last two times I looked behind there we found bodies. Just then Lime came up to me. He offered his hand clearly noticing I was scared. I took his hand and nodded. We walked behind the table and there was nothing there. I swiped my card, it took about 5 tries. "I have tasks in storage and electrical." Lime said to every one across the room. "I have a task in electrical too." Cherry said. 

We headed to storage. I was still holding Limes hand and he was slightly smiling. I smiled back at him. Lime let go for a second in order to fix the wires in storage. It felt safe with him despite only knowing him for a few days. 

As we walked to electrical, there was suddenly a loud siren sound followed by red flashing lights. I knew the sound from training, there was low oxygen. Lime let go of my hand and ran back into admin, where the oxygen tanks were. Both me and Cyan started running to O2 to fix the other tanks. Cherry looked scared and clung to Blackberry, they stayed in the hall out side electrical. We ran not think of anything else except fixing the tanks to save ourselves and everyone else. There was limited time before the oxygen levels become to low to breath. I can already feel my self becoming a lot dizzier than I should from the short run, as I reached O2. Purple was already there putting the code in to trade the broken tank for a new one, before me and Cyan could even get there. The lights and sirens stopped, and all three of us fall to the ground. The oxygen was back, we were still completely out of breath from running in that level of oxygen. We sat there for a little to catch our breaths.
