Murder Mystery

"I feel like accepting this invitation was a mistake, oh well i'm sure there's nothing to worry about." Janet chuckled, checking the time she decided to hang around just for a little. After a while she then decided to start preparing to go to the party as it was about to start in 1 hour. She took a quick bath and put on her fanciest dress, then she began to do her makeup. "Done!" She cheered as she stared at her beautiful reflection. After a while it was time to depart. After a long ride she has finally arrived. "Phew, I'm glad I got here in time!" She said checking her watch. "All right, I guess I should head in now.." She said as she stepped in to the party room. Upon her arrival she was immediately greeted by a large crowded ballroom. "Oh wow, this party sure is bigger than I expected.." she'd mutter. After taking her time to admire the beautifully decorated room, she had decided to go and look for her friend, who had also been invited. After a while of searching she finally saw them. "Hey, Iris!" She yelled across the room. "Oh hello Janet!" Iris replied. "What are you doing here? I thought you said you were gonna decline?" "Oh well, I ended up coming anyways." While they were busy chitchatting it seems something quite unexpected was happening. "Please don't do this! I-is it money you want I'll give you as much as you want then!" Pleaded the poor woman, it was all in vain though as the penetrator had already swung their knife. The woman immediately turned pale as the knife had already impaired her stomach.. "Ah!" She cried in pain but of course no one heard her...

While the culprit was busy 'setting up' for their next show it seems that people have already begun to flood around the woman's body. "Oh my! How could this be, the poor woman!" "How unfortunate.." "How can a murder happen at such a happy occasion.." Here and there you'd hear people talking. "Iris, why is everyone gathered here?" Asked Janet. "Someone has died!" Replied Iris in a scared tone. With all this commotion everyone had decided that they should try and relax to enjoy the rest of the night. Iris decided to head to the bathroom first as she felt nauseous from the sight. So Janet decided to return first, just as everyone got back to their surprise another body had appeared! "Another one!" Screamed one of the guest, at this point everyone began to panic. It seems the killer was still here, nervously Janet decides to check on her friend just in case. Stopping by the bathroom she catches sight of her friend. "Iris are you okay?" She asked, "Yeah i'm fine, why what happened?" Iris questioned. "I-it seems the killers still at the party!" She said nervously. "Oh dear, I don't think we should hang around the bathroom then.." "You're right, let's head out to where more people are." Upon their arrival they get a quick notice that no one is allowed to leave the party as they must catch the culprit.

Over and over bodies kept appearing, but it was still long before the culprit would be found. "Iris i'm scared! What if we're next." "I'm sure we'll be fine, we can just stick together!" Replied Iris. After a while it seems that the crowed had decreased massively as there was only 8 people left. "H-hey I think someone's missing!" One of the guest yelled, that arose panic all around. Suddenly one of them yelled "A  body is here!" All of them began to gather around. "A-are we all going to die?!" One of them screamed. "Janet I don't want to stick around here any longer.." "Okay, we can head to the other room to rest." Janet suggested, they both decided on that and headed to the room. After a while it seems that Janet has fallen a sleep. -cough- "I-Iris what are you doing?!" She yelled, as Iris was strangling her. "Wouldn't you like to know.." Scoffed Iris. "Let me go!" "No, you're so pathetic wasn't it obvious I was the culprit?" "I've killed everyone here and you're next!" Iris said as she laughed crazily. With that Janet slowly began to lose strength to resist... She had succumbed to the darkness now.
