The Airship Book 1: Maroon

Kill

(White's POV)

I headed away from the party toward the kitchen. I was going to go get some wine from the kitchen. As I stepped into the room, I remembered the weird goo the had showed up in our ship. I looked for the container and I discovered that the container was smashed and broken. I heard a thump from behind me. I spun around and saw a lump of goo was blocking the entrance to the kitchen. I screamed and began to run to the armory which was connected to the kitchen. The goo was surprisingly fast for something so large, and it smashed into me, throwing me to the floor just as I lunged for a pistol. It's body mass pinned me to the ground as I struggled to move. Then it began to squeeze through the cracks in my visor.

(The Alien's POV)

I smiled as I got used to my new body. It was hard to move in such a small space. I had complete control over the human's brain. The human had one part of him that still could speak, but only I could hear it. "What are you?" The human asked. "I am your new flesh." I responded. He tried to speak again but I used the last part of my mental strength to shut him up. I "walked" toward the kitchen. I heard footsteps. Mr. Cheese, the one who was orange with a cheese hat, (I had learned all their names by heart.) popped his head through the doorway. "White?" He asked. "What are you doing?" Then I realized how hungry I was. I pulled out the knife I had grabbed earlier and stabbed him in the head. He collapsed to the ground. I smiled and ripped the knife out of his head. Then I opened my mouth and the suit split with my mouth, I used my tongue to rip his head off. I slurped down the flesh hungrily. The "Cheese" tasted weird in my mouth. I spat it out next to the bottom half of his body.

(Maroon's POV)

White returned to the party carrying wine, so I headed to the kitchen with Mini-Green. When we got there, something smelled bad. Then I noticed something orange on the ground. It was Mr. Cheese. But he was torn in half. Me and Mini-Green screamed. The adults came over and I began to cry into mommy's arms. "Who would have done this?" Coughed Green over the smell. "White!" said Pink. "You were just here, weren't you?" White shook his head and said, "I came in, grabbed the wine and went out." "Plus, why would I want to kill someone?" He asked. "I think we should except that one of us is a killer, and that we should meet at the meeting room every time something bad happens."
