AMONG US

3

The room was silent, everyone taking in the information, some were shocked to hear White's steady unbothered voice. He must be really good at his job.

"How could she possibly die?" Orange asked pacing back and forth.

"She inhaled the gas coming out of the tube, it's lethal" Pink answered, her tone wary.

"We can't afford mistakes like this, now what are we going to do?" Black questioned as he removed his helmet.

"We don't need to scan anyway, we passed a bunch of tests back at the base" White said as he pressed the 'clear air sign' of the med bay. "Once the med bay's air is clear, dispose of her body" he pointed at Black and Purple. "The rest of you, forget about it right now and get to work, don't let this accident affect your work" White walked away.

how dumb can Brown be? To die this way?

___...___

She wasn't dumb. She was the first person to see the Imposter. Well, It wasn't useful cause she couldn't reveal it to anyone.

Poor soul, who was just trying to do her job, died too soon.

~ 40 minutes ago.~

Brown was softly humming to herself as she checked the scanning equipment, she was extremely careful when she was handling the gas tubes cause they were very dangerous. She was so concentrated that she didn't hear the vent open.

Goosebumps covered her skin as she felt a presence behind her, she slowly turned to face the figure. Her eyes widened. "What are you doing here? how did you get in here?"

"I used the vent of course" the figure smiled as it waved the knife in its hand.

"Why do you have a knife?" Brown panicked.

"To kill you" the figure said, a creepy smile plastered on its face.

Brown made a run to the exit, but the doors were locked.

"Don't try too hard, just take the easy way out"

"I won't! I'm trained to defend myself, I can and I will fight you" she took a stance.

"Oh no...I'm so scared !!" the figure mocked her.

Brown launched at the figure with the box she was holding, the figure was quick to dodge it and grabbed Brown's head and pinned it against the table. "That's all you got?" it whispered in her ears.

"Let me go please"

"No"

"You think you can stab me with a knife and escape just like that, you think the others would let you get away with a murder!" Brown yelled.

"Who said I was going to stab you?" the Imposter laughed.

"What?"

"This is what I'm going to do" the Imposter said as it grabbed the gas tube and sliced it.

"no no no..don't do that, It will kill you too, are you crazy?" Brown struggled to get away.

"Am I crazy? yes. Will it kill me? No." the Imposter smiled. "You know I can't let you do the scan right? I have nothing against you" the Imposter said as it placed the tube on her mouth. Brown tried not to take in the gas. "Stop struggling, it will be less painful"

"no no..no" a strangled voice came out of her mouth, but soon darkness consumed her.

"Good night, sleep tight" the Imposter giggled and headed to the vent.

"How can she be so careless?" Yellow asked as he leaned against the wall. Yellow, Orange, Cyan, Red, and Lime were huddled up in the side hallways.

"Was it really an accident?" Orange asked as he scanned everyone's face.

"What do you mean?" Lime looked up.

"She was very good at her job and she knew what she was doing, how can she carelessly inhale the gas, It doesn't make sense"

"You are thinking too much, are you suggesting that one of us did it?" Cyan crossed her arms.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. For all that I know, you could have done it" he pointed at Cyan. She scoffed.

"You are paranoid" Yellow said as he sat down on the floor.

"Am I?"

"Yes, now stop this nonsense and get to work, White instructed us to forget about it and that's exactly what we'll do. I mean what's the big deal anyway? people die every day"Red said resting his hand on the wall. It was the first time he involved himself in a conversation unless his name was mentioned.

"You are suspicious"Orange pointed at red.

"Sure whatever" he rolled his eyes. "I'm gonna go over there, to do my work, you can sit here and suspect whoever you want." He walked into the next room.

"It was an accident, Orange, it's sad but just let it go" Cyan said as she left the hallway.

But was it really an accident? There was no way to prove it, as the evidence was disposed of along with the body and the gas tubes.
