Indah POV

"Hey, Ezra!" I exclaimed as I stepped into the room, my voice filled with a mix of relief and anticipation. In this treacherous game, Ezra was the sole person I could truly rely on. "Now, let's kick things off with introductions, shall we?" I suggested, my gaze sweeping across the assembled group. With a confident air, I declared, "I'll start. I'm Indah." As I spoke, my eyes landed on a figure with gorgeous black hair, and I addressed them with a firm tone, "You there, with the black hair."

"I go by Alicia, not Black-Haired Girl!" Alicia responded, sounding offended.

"Fine, sorry. Let's just go in a circle," I said, trying to ease the tension.

We went around the circle, with each person introduced. "Bailey," "Amethyst," "Cody," "Annie," "Charlotte," "Elizabeth," "Ezra," "Lara," "Jackson," "Jo," "Marley," "Mason," "Melodie."

"Ok, cool then. What now?" I asked, looking around the room.

POWER DISCONNECTED

I open my tablet with caution.

Who would you like to bug?

I was scrolling through the names when my finger stopped at Alicia. There was something off about her.

Alicia was visited by Amethyst.

"I take out my journal and carefully jot down the new information that I have just acquired."

Night 1: Alicia was visited by Amethyst.
[name] died from the [name] they were [cause of death]

After finishing my journal entry, I feel a sense of fear as I contemplate uncovering the truth about Alicia's fate.

POWER RESTORED

Bailey died from the Murderer she was beheaded and left in the woods.

We found a journal written by Bailey.

Hey Guys! Bailey here, I was just a survivor but Annie and I (we're roomies) did some research:

Marley is Good
Mason is Good

You don't have to believe me but I have my reasons.

Discuss who may be evil.

Amethyst cannot be the murderer. Was my accusation wrong? No! Stick to your instincts Indah!. "Guys! I believe Amethyst is suspicious!"The room fell silent, and suddenly a small voice spoke up, asking "Why?" I turned to see a girl with pink hair holding a tray of freshly baked muffins. Her name was Lara. She took a few steps back from me, and I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. It was too late though; I had forgotten that Lara and Amethyst were best friends, and now it seemed I would have to face the consequences of my actions and the awkward situation I had caused.

"I'm fine," I said, "at least I'm not the one who is getting booted to wherever dead people go..."
"Are you ok Lara?" asked Jo as she entered the room, "Sorry I wasn't here earlier, I was busy helping Melodie with her issues with Charlotte. I won't get into it now, but I guess it's time to vote..."
I quickly scribbled down Amethyst's name in my neat handwriting and placed it in the box, folded so that nobody could see it.

Indah had the most votes

"No, I don't deserve to die! I'm just as good as any-"

everything went silent

We found a journal written by Indah

Hey! I'm the spy!

Night 1: Alicia was visited by Amethyst.
Bailey died from the Murderer they were beheaded and left in the woods.

Sorry, I wasn't much help. You shouldn't have voted me off so soon!

Charlotte said, "So she wasn't evil, just an idiot" and received many disgusted looks from the people around her.

Despite my anger at being voted out, I found peace in the fact that I was safe from potential harm up here. Suddenly, a familiar voice commanded me to stay put and the voice's menacing figure emerged, holding a knife against my throat. The figure warned me that if the Saviour were to save anyone other than me or they were killed or faced elimination then I would meet my end. "Same goes for the others that will come too." he finished. It was a chilling warning that left me fearing for my life, just like Bailey who had already met her end.
