Would You Kill for Me? (Yandere Genshin Impact x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 29- The Place of Grieving

Y/n dived into the pool, tailing Kokomi who was in her lane, but much much faster.
She kicked her legs to try and catch up but was stopped in the water.

She glared at Childe, "what are you doing?"

He rolled his eyes, "everyone knows not to kick their legs out of the water, it makes you slow."

Then he smacked her butt through the thin f/c one-piece and swam away.

Y/n floated there as Kokomi drifted past her already onto another lap. Mona was plopped on the bleachers- she had already gotten out.

When practise had finished Y/n's damp h/c hair fell straight into her eyes.
She brushed it away and quickly changed into casual clothes- as she was going to meet Barbara.

But her phone buzzed and she glanced at the messages.
It seemed to be from the group chat of her class.
And they were also half-way through a conversation.

Hu Tao
Y/n was friends with her right?

Y/n glanced at the conversation and scrolled up. There weren't many mentions of names.

Y/n
What's going on?

Childe
I second that ^

Y/n pursed her lips waiting then-

Hu Tao
Oh lord! It's happened again. Her family is already buying funeral supplies and advice from my company!

Kazuha
You know Barbara? She died- the authorities say she's been dead for almost 24 hours.

Y/n
I was supposed to meet her in 10 mins tho.

Childe
Wait... that girl from the nurses office is dead?

Hu Tao
Actually, yea. Her body was found on the altar in the church apparently. The police are there now.
When Jean got the information she went totally ballistic and stormed right over there with this taller red-haired dude.

You should go check on them- you were close with Barbara.

And at that, Y/n shut off her phone and walked all the way to the local church.

The police were already there. Tape around the perimeters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a person standing at the door to the church. Inside a small blond girl was kneeling between the pews, her head bowed in prayer.
So they snuck inside and smothered her from behind, she gasped and attempted to scream and tried to struggle. But due to her weak body, she was unconscious soon.
Then the person pulled an ice pick from their pocket and drove it into her chest, puncturing her heart. Before creating the display they laid flat on her back her on the altar at the front of the building.
The ice pick was still in her chest and the person dragged it from her chest to her navel, slicing the girl open. Blood oozed from the wound.
Then the person pulled a kitchen knife out and made the hole larger to see her bones.
They glanced at their work and decided that something was missing... so they sawed through the bones and bent her ribs outwards, out of her body until her internal organs were showing- a punctured heart and two shaking pink lungs. Blood sprayed over the floor providing a more gruesome display and the person knew it would be a very good warning.
And to finish, they took the crucifix from around Barbara's neck and put it in her hand, closing the fist, before parting her lips and jamming the ice pick down her throat. Crimson exploded from her mouth, dribbling down her chin. They placed a note in her other hand.
"Heh..." people were stupid sometimes. The owners of this church didn't think to put cameras?
Shame on them.
And... that's what little nosy girls get for digging in what's none of her business.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n saw Jean and the red-headed boy.

She wandered to them, "hey? Are you okay Jean?"

Jean's face was streaked with tears, "why would someone do this to my sister?"
She clutched the boy's clothes, "why was it her?"

He frowned, "it's a crime. The murderer will probably be caught eventually."

"What if they don't... my sister will never receive justice!"
Then Jean wrapped her arms around Y/n, sobbing.

Y/n was sullen, "what happened?"

The redhead glanced at her before looking back at the crime scene, "Barbara Pegg was torn open and laid out on the altar... about yesterday evening as she's been dead for approximately twenty-four hours now. There was a handwritten note in her hand, and the other held a crucifix. Both items were taken as evidence."
He turned to watch a large bag get carted away, "that is her."

Y/n felt her lip wobble, "that's so sad. Why did she have to die?"

"Good people die all the time, nobody can choose who dies or who doesn't." He shook his head, "it's absolutely depressing."

Jean, Y/n and the red-haired boy stood together at the edge of the caution tape, jeans arms wrapped around Y/n and the other boy.

Y/n felt guilt suddenly, 'what if I was the reason she died?'

**************************
(So... third death!)

(First notes on this chapter are... the text messages aren't supposed to be funny- because that's usually why people incorporate them into stories. BUT, I mean- who hasn't been in a class that had a group chat? It was mainly for information.
Yes! Barbara was killed and her memory will live on in her sister as the plot thickens! {well, I'm not sure if that's the right word}
The murderer made a show of her death! And there was another suspicious note... you *the readers* will find out soon enough what it said.
Thank you for reading this far!)

[There will be a Christmas chapter later too.]
