Flicker- Two Worlds Combine

Chapter 12: Amethyst

HAPPY LATE PRIDE MONTH!

As we all gather around poor Evelyn, I notice Natalia giving something to Melodie. What does she have? Melodie takes it, and I see it is a paper. She puts it in her pocket and goes over to Jane. I think I can trust her, although it is strange she won't tell all of us about this.

I'm just thinking about who did it this time. We have a lot less people now. Not too many less people, but the difference is fairly noticable nowadays. We better find this murderer quick before our numbers begin to dwindle even more. We've been here for a fairly long time now, so I'm beginning to forget what my original life was like.

 I remember studying witchcraft, it was a really fun hobby. Thankfully, although my interest was strange, my personality prevented anyone from judging me, plus, I had already learned how to stick up for myself after I was bullied for a short while when I realized I was a demigirl. Sadly, I realized another girl wasn't so lucky.

The day I met her, I had gone into school and I saw someone was picking on her. Trying to defend a fellow witch, I went over to that person and pushed them out of the way. I got in trouble that day, but it was completely worth it, because when I checked to see if she was okay, I realized how beautiful her eyes were. And her voice, when she introduced herself as Prasiddhi...  I was barely able to contain my blushing.

I stuck with her, to make nobody else tried to mock her, but she began to like hanging out with me too. I remember how adorable she was when she blushed. I eventually realized over time that I was trixic, and then came the day when she finally shyly confessed she was bisexual and had feelings for me, I felt the most happiness I've ever felt when I rushed into her arms and kissed her.

Since then we've been having a great time in our relationship. It was most definitely an amazing time of my life. But now we're both trapped in this killing game. I'm glad Prasiddhi hasn't died yet considering how vulnurable she can be at times, but it could happen at any moment. That's why I am going to do the best I can to discover the killer.

I cut back to reality, because I once again see Melodie holding the note. She hands it over to Kiryomi, and I see her whisper, ''ナタリアはこの紙を体の下から見つけました.  この情報を好きなように使用してください. '' She gives her a kiss on the cheek saying, '' 頑張れ、ベイビー!''

I see they are secretly communicating. I think we can trust them. I think communicating in a different language would be helpful. I hope this doesn't end badly if I were to try it... As the others whisper, finally a voice speaks up.

''Ito ay kalokohan!'' Alab yells. ''Why would the investigator accuse me, all I did last night was simply defend Natalia when she was accused. They have no reasoning whatsoever!'' I also agree the investigator's logic is bullshit on this one. Alab seems pretty smart, and they look like they could help in the future. So I have no idea why the pitiful investigator would think THEY would do this.

Thiago smirks. ''Nobody cares whether you're innocent, we all agree we'd LOVE to see your dumbass get executed and cry in pain. Your pathetic crybaby ass is probably lied about being non-binary so you could accuse me of being 'enbyphobic' when I mock you. Why should we believe that non-binary people are really real anywa-'' 

Trey puts a hand on his shoulder. ''Thiago, that's enough. You might make yourself a target for murder or voting if you say things like that.'' Well, that's basic proof Thiago is a horrible person. I guess it's not just Natalia then.

Prasiddhi panicks. ''Oh fuck, they're gonna kill us, we're gonna die, somebody's plotting my death right now...'' I put her into my warm embrace and kiss her to calm her nerves. Some people would assume I get tired of doing this so often, but I love it.
