Flicker- Two Worlds Combine

Chapter 25: Zahrah

Oh my god, what is even happening? Amethyst is half screaming, half sobbing on the floor, Anna seems moritifed, probably about both Ben and Dvir being dead, and most importantly, Natalia turned out to be a fucking murderer, but not the actual one.

Eva is already looking pissed off. ''Wow, so first Amani kills Bailey because Elaina died, Alicia gets Adanna killed because Bailey died, and now Natalia kills Prasiddhi and Ben because Melodie died. If someone tried to write a fictuous book on this, it would get terrible reviews for this trash storywriting and all these repetitive ''plot twists'' if that's what you'd call it. Like, be fucking original for once!'' I can't help but agree with her on that one.

"I mean, Nathan, you did seem a little bit nonchalant about ruthlessly committing two murders. That honestly does make you slightly suspicious, if I'm being honest with you here.'' Alec is right. Nathan is honestly someone we should have suspected a long time ago with how he's been acting. Ezra is clearly shaken by what Nathan has done, and Mikah is honestly too scared to comfort them either.

Aria points her finger. ''Yeah! Nathan, what is the meaning of this?'' I notice Haneen is trying to gather Jane, Kai and Amethyst, seemingly attempting to bond with them over losing people they care about. Marley seems to be writing something, and Fayola seems quite tired. Speaking of Jane, what happened to her yesterday? She suddenly seemed pretty tired, but she's looking fine nowadays.

I wonder what the investigator is thinking of this right now. Their accusations seem a little bit... Off. As if there is a strange reason behind it we wouldn't expect. I mean, they've accused people like Alab, who has been fairly helpful and non-psychotic, and Liza, who had an alibi with Mary. I guess the second one is fair, because I honestly forgot about their alibi too. I mean, I understand why I was accused, so thank god I had Veronica to back me up there.

I'm surprised the murder hasn't seen me as a threat yet. I'm sure that day will eventually come, though. In the meantime, how is the discussion doing? ''This is crazy. We need to find the murderer fast, because the chance of someone stabbing me next is increasing by the second!'' Ashlen is shivering, and Christy walks over with Indah to comfort her.

''Whatever. Just send Nathan off to hell and move on with it. We never needed him anyways.'' Becca is acting pretty cold right now... But I bet that other people like Riley would weirdly like it. The rest of the discussion kinda turned into people arguing about if contraptions could kill people, but that then transformed into Dan and Viola getting mad at eachother over condiments. Soon, it's that time of day again, and the speaker makes the noise signalling for us to vote. I vote for Nathan, for obvious reasons, and soon, the same name is heard on the speaker. ''Yeah, we all knew Nathan was gonna have the most votes, but like the idiots you are, your conclusion is incorrect, bitches. We didn't need to build up suspense for this one.'' He goes off into the room, and soon all his limbs are wrapped in sharp wire. One sharp pull from two machines later, and they are all cut off. Damn.

Ezra and Mikah go and cook together, and most of us go to eat what they made too. It's just some simple sandwiches and some juice, so it's nothing too special, but I enjoy it anyway. Me and Charlotte talk about our lives and our looks for a bit, and then everyone departs from the table, which is a good idea considering how one of us at this table is a murderer, and the lights might go out at any moment.

I decide we should actually do something tonight. ''Veronica, we should round up some gals for a little party! I don't want everyone there, though. Just like 10 of us. We really need something to do, and, I mean, who doesn't love free alibis? I think it's a good plan.'' She nods, but before we can even go search for anyone, Charlotte is already here!

''Yes!!!!! I'd love to do that! Please invite me!'' We obviously let her tag along. We then gather Annie, Jamila, Viola, Ashlen, Arielle, and Nicole. Lassi even came along with us too. I guess this is our group for tonight, just the nine of us. Not bad. We head to Viola's room, and all seems fairly well.
