Heart Soaked In Blood

Monochrome Cards

Victor blinked at the letter. Every time he read over its lines all he could do was blink. Edgar accepted death and said Victor was right in his final writing. Aesop Carl murdered someone. That someone was Edgar and Luca perhaps? Vera was framed then. Victor sighed, stuffing the letter back into her pocket. The games have stopped completely at this point. No times were set on the main board in the lobby ever since the mini trial Mike set up.

Was Mike a killer then? No. He didn't- not didn't. He couldn't have killed someone. Then again killing someone with his kind of behavior was 100% possible. Aesop could be the type of person to leave out Luca's body like that. But then again with Edgar...

"Are you sure you don't want to attend Edgar and Luca's..." Fiona frowned immensely watching Victor weakly get up from the bed. "Yes I'm positive. Where's the last you've seen of Andrew, might I ask?" "Kitchen? I may be wrong, don't take my word for it. I didn't see him in the crowd earlier." "Thank you for the help anyway Ms. Gilman. " She frowned watching Victor walk by her. "It's Fiona." "Apologies on my part!" Victor waved her off rushing to the kitchen.

      Ever since Victor was suspicious of Aesop in the manor, he'd practically beg for Andrew to sleep in his room for the month. Well since Victor's mental health had been breaking down since day one Andrew of course agreed. Did you not think Victor would not notice his mentality stability fading away from himself? Of course he'd notice the way he dug his nails into his skin. Of course he had noticed the eye bags under his eyes. Of course he noticed the way he scratched himself until blood fell to keep himself awake. He knew that he was going insane and he didn't mind.

Kitchen, no Andrew. No anyone in the hallways either. Most likely at that funeral for Luca. Not much for Edgar since he was... quite a rude person. No one was very fond of him in the short time he was at the manor. He was here for a reason similar to Eli's apparently. To find his missing fiancee. Victor assumed that fiancee was Luca but he'll never know if they're both dead.

Victor managed to wander to the lobby while trying to wrap his head around Edgar. Did he know he was going to die by Aesop's hands that soon? Or did he actually jump and blamed it on Aesop? If he did that there would be no point in believing the letter. Victor groaned, looking over the lobby. He managed to go everywhere but the kitchen again. He turned his head to where the board was. Again, there were no matches. Maybe the owner had let everyone mourn today? They forced everyone to play matches right after Joseph's death, having all the hunters to stop working in games.

       Victor turned over to the kitchen. No one. They were all at the funeral Victor assumed. Andrew wouldn't have gone away from Victor for this long. If he was going to attend the funeral he would've told Gilman. "Oh Victor!" A voice calls from behind. It was Mike's voice. Victor wasn't in the biggest mood to deal with the clown, but he turned around anyway. Mike had a grin on his face, one that annoyed Victor somewhat. Someone has died and Mike has a smile that big for what?

"Surprised to see you aren't out with Fifi." Why are you out here. "I could say the same to you Mr. Morton." I was just about to call him moron for a second. Mike's eyes widened for a second. A grin grew on his face before his lips parted again. "I've never heard your voice before! It sounds nice, Vick!" "Thank you. I do have to ask if you know where Andrew is? I can't seem to find him." Mike blinks blankly before speaking. "Don't know. I assumed he'd be with Fifi right now. Did you check the lobby?" Of course I did. "I couldn't find him. I presumed you knew since you're not at the funeral either." Mike shrugs. "I'm not interested in mourning a man I wasn't close to so I have no idea."

Victor sighed. Where was Andrew? He didn't do much in his spare time now that Victor looks back on it. Luca was the one to bring the man into the group, having stepped on his foot when speaking. Victor smiles looking back on it. Luca and Andrew met eyes then Luca walked off, calling Victor to follow. Victor had to apologize on Luca's behalf and invited Andrew for lunch that day. Then from there they just clicked. When Luca died Victor screamed at himself every night. He knew something was wrong with Aesop, why didn't he want to point it out way earlier?
