They Walk Among Us | Book One

... Ch@pt3r 3!g4t ...

Brooke P.O.V:
A tray of sandwiches in my hand, I give one PB & J sandwich to everyone, except from the peanut-allergen, Cory, to who I gave a cheese sandwich. I didn't want to kill the blonde boy yet - having him alive for the majority of the game would make this more interesting. I made a mental note to tell Samuel and Ava this later...

"Thanks for the sandwiches, Brooke!" Ember squealed. I concealed my irritation, I could use her death to frame someone else later, perhaps? My mind was racing with thoughts before I heard Isac suddenly shout:

"Of course it was! It would have succeeded if she didn't get so close to Angie! A fucking love triangle, that's all it was! Angie Lime, in love with me, her last thoughts were of Isac Pink. But I was in love with Fiona, wasn't I? If she didn't get close with Angie, she wouldn't have fucking shot herself in the head!!" Tears were pouring out of his eyes. He must have wanted to let his emotions out for a while. Perfect - a mentally destroyed being. Perhaps I should put the poor soul out of his misery... Everyone turned to look at the boy and Peter, who's green jumper was growing darker with sweat.

"Sorry Peter, I didn't mean to shout at you. It's just-"

"I understand. I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said anything."

With that, Isac walked out of the room. Any normal Impostor would chase him and kill him, but Ava, Samuel and I weren't that stupid. Ember followed her brother, and that's when Ava made her first mistake. She pounced onto the green-haired boy, choking him, yelling, "YOU SON OF A BITCH! THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOR, HUH? THOUGHT IT'D BE FUNNY, DID YOU, MAKING MY BROTHER CRY LIKE THAT!?" She punched the boy in the nose, evidently breaking it. Blood poured out of his nostrils.

"A- Ava! That's not what-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, YOU LITTLE SHIT!" She continued screeching. Not like he could say much anyway.

"Ava, you're killing him!" Ember cried. She had obviously heard the shouting and ran back into the cafeteria, where we were all gathered. Everyone sat speechless at their tables, sandwiches hovering in their hands.

"I don't care! Let him die, he fucking deserves it- IF YOU TRY MOVING ONE MORE TIME, PETER, I SWARE TO FUCKING GOD I WILL FUCKING SHOVE MY FIST IN YOUR DIRTY-ASS MOUTH!"

"AVA! LET GO OF HIM RIGHT NOW!" Ember squeaked, trying to match the loudness of Ava's voice, but just sounding like a terrified mouse instead. How cute - a defenceless being trying to help an unknown killer! She ran towards the pair and pushed Ava off of Peter with her shoulder. He let out a long gasp and rubbed his throat. Ember, Tyler, Samuel and Cory were pinning the purple-haired girl to the ground by her limbs.

"Peter, go check on Isac," Tyler demanded.

"He's- agh... Isac's fine, Tyler..." Ember panted. She, evidently, was struggling to keep Ava down.

"How can we be sure?" Tyler asked the girl. "For all we know, you could be one of the killers. For all we know, Isac could have been killed during his scan-"

"YOU LITTLE BASTARD! INSULTING MY FAMILY, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU-!"

"It's alright, Ava... I'm clearly sus- suspicious... I left Medbay alone..."

The five continued arguing as Peter made his way to Medbay. Tyler glanced towards me and beckoned me over with his hand. I obeyed, needing an excuse not to follow them, and an alibi. I took Tyler's place and he followed the boy.

After a while, Ava calmed down (or she just ran out of energy) and was released. At the same moment, Isac re-entered the Cafeteria. We all split off into different directions - Ava went with Ember and Samuel to Communications, Kira and I went to Storage, Cory and Opal went to Admin and Isac went to O2. Tyler and Peter hadn't been seen since they left Medbay, so I had a suspicion they were in Security.
