A Story of Betrayal

Another way

Lemon's POV

Some one else was died. There was still a killer on the ship. Orange wasn't the killer. We killed an innocent person. Some one else was died.

"What are we going to do when we figure out who the killer is?" Cyan asked then quickly followed with "I never wanted anyone to be executed, but we  have no way to keep them contained till we get somewhere." I could tell they were scared about the killer. We all were, and they made a good point we didn't have a place to keep the murderer. Was execution really the only way to deal with the killer? Do we have to risk killing another crewmate? "The only thing we have is rope." Lime replied. That seemed like a better idea, and if we did that we could let the person go if there was evidence proving them innocent. It didn't have to be permanent. If we did that we wouldn't have to risk even hurting an innocent member of our crew. 

"We should figure out who it is first." Purple said. "Dose anyone have any evidence?" I asked after the  purple haired girl. Maybe this time we would have enough evidence to be curtain of the killer. 

"I saw Pink was in Navigations with a knife in her head, Cherry's the one who found the body." Lime stated the evidence that he had. "Was it a dagger like before, or a knife?" I asked wanting to know if it was the same person each time or if it was actually different people. "It seemed to be a dagger" Lime answered. Just like the one me and Orange found at Green's murder site. 

"I-it was horrifying... the last thing I saw was...Blue leaving navigations. T-then I saw Pink there." Cherry said crying. She pulled her hood over her eyes and looked at the table as she cried harder. So was Blue actually the killer? Did he really let his own partner die in order to cover up what he did? That was even more horrible then I thought. Almost all of the empathy I had for him diapered at Cherry's account. 

"I-is that true?" Coconut asked looking at Blue in confusion, slight anger, and horror. Blue said nothing. I glared at him. If it wasn't true he would have answered no, but he said nothing. I looked at everyone else, Purple and Lime were also glaring at him, Cyan looked confused, but Blackberry still looked like she felt guilty. She still looked like she felt bad for Blue.

"Why..?" Cyan asked looking at Blue in confusion and sadness. Blue looked up at the light blue haired enby, there were slight tears in his eyes and he looked like he was going to cry. He just looked at Cyan for a while. "Aren't you going to defend your self, your not the killer right?" Cyan tried to ask again. Blue still said nothing. 

"Please just say something." Blackberry said with the same guilty expression. The blue haired boy said nothing. 

"I think we know it's Blue now." I say and then ask "So what are we going to do now?" Blue killed Tamarind and Green and  Pink, and he even caused his own significant other's, Orange's,  death. I already knew he was a bad person, but he was really this horrible. 

"Like Lime said we have rope, and the most secure place would probably be communications." Purple answered me "Tying him up in communications is a lot better then straight up execution." 

"It's still a horrible thing to do." Cyan responded to Purple as Coconut ask Blue "Are you really the killer?" with hope that he would say he wasn't. He said nothing. "I'll go get the rope." I said getting up to head to cams where it was. "Please." Blackberry said looking at Blue. He gave no response. I walked across the room and into the hallway were med bay was. 

The cafeteria seemed to fall into silence as I left. I walked passed med bay to cams and grabbed to rope from off the corner in the right side of the room furthest from the camera screens. Then I walked back to the cafeteria. The entire ship was completely quiet, so quiet you could hear each individual parts of the ship working. It was really uneasy and seemed like a seance from a horror movie. Walking in an almost completely silent metal hall with creepy mechanic sounds. When I got back it was still silent. 

Blue stood up and put his hands behind his back, still saying nothing. It was like he was just fine with the fact that he had been caught for murder. He still looked like he was going to cry, but he still stood there completely silent.  Lime took the rope from me and walked over to Blue. "Are you... do you want to say anything." Lime asked trying to let him at least say something about what was happening. He didn't say anything , just stood there and let Lime tie the rope around his arms. Why wasn't he doing anything? Why was he just going along with anything? If he is the killer, wouldn't he want to still keep it a secret like last time? Was he really the killer? Of course he is, he's the only one it could be. 

"Please say something." Coconut looked at Blue "Please, you didn't kill your own partner." He looked at her and then quickly looked away to the floor. "Please." Blackberry said still crying. Everyone seemed to be frozen, so I walk over to Blue and just slightly nudged him towards the hallway that lead to communications. He turned and began walking. He was just going to communications by himself. He didn't even try to fight anyone. 

"It was me." I head Blackberry say quietly from the middle table. She was now standing and looking down at the table. "What?" Coconut asked, she heard Blackberry, they were standing next to each other, but didn't want to believe what she heard. 

"IT WAS ME. I KILLED PINK." Blackberry looked up at everyone, her eyes full of tears streaming down her face.
