Eliminate | DREAMNOTFOUND

Chapter 6

Everyone got back to the front facing the six suspects. George took a step in front of the suspects and asked them one by one. The first one he questioned was a tough man that had blood all over his face like the others. However, his hands were also covered in blood.

George stared at him calmly while the man looked annoyed and looked like he wanted to get this over with. Chase stared at the two of them as he sighed bored, "One minute will start... now" Chase exclaimed and a timer popped up on the man's forehead.

"What happened before the night of the murders happened? And what were you doing during the murder?" George asked sternly as his face was cold while the man just nodded smiling.

"Before the night of the murder happened. Everything was fine. All of us were planning on doing camping together. However, we ran out of marshmallows to eat so I went to my house to grab more food. When I got back everything was dark and I could hear bodies falling" he said while George kept note.

"I quickly rushed to them and tried to fight the murders in the dark but then my hand suddenly got sliced," he said and showed the palm of his hand. Indeed there was an injury and it was also deep, "Suddenly, the moonlight returned. Five were on the floor. Dead and only six were left" he finished staring at the others angrily.

George didn't believe him yet and pushed a little more because of the time left, "How can I be so sure that you're not one of them?" He said raising an eyebrow as the man only scoffed suddenly becoming furious.

He stared at George intensely, "Can't you see that I'm injured?! Moron! Are you stupid?!" He yelled but George only kept his calm not getting affected by his harsh words.

He spoke casually like he was questioning a simple math question, "How can I be so sure you didn't do self-harm for the sake of your innocence?"

The man clenched his fists trying to move but he was tied to the ground so he wouldn't hurt someone. "Who is stupid enough to cut themselves for the sake of their innocence? Besides, that is something a lot would do" he spit at George. George looked carefully at the man before heading back to the others.

Everyone looked calm for now but on the inside, they were fearing what would happen if they failed the game. George looked casual and calm though and so did Karl and Adam. Adam was next and started questioning a middle aged man in his 60's the same question George asked.

The old man started speaking calmly, "In the night, everything was fine. But when the young man here came to get marshmallows. The moonlight suddenly disappeared. Oh Gosh, I could remember the voices screaming. It was indeed terrifying" he said in a hoarse voice.

Then the old man continued, "I did not fight and only stepped aside but my bones were weak. I couldn't move and even know I am stuck here I don't dare to move a single step. After that, the moonlight came back and everyone was covered in blood!" He said terrified as he trembled.

Adam nodded while George stared at the old man calmly as he pictured the scene in his mind, "Why didn't you fight?" Adam asked the old man.

"Like I said, young fellow. My bones were weak and I didn't have the body to move! If I did, I could have ended on the floor getting stepped on" He said frowning while the timer finally runs out. Adam sighs from his mouth which was curved into a circle and went back to the others.

There were only four left to question and the next to question was Karl. Suspect three started to speak who was a woman in her teens, "I'm not a murderer! It was just like the same thing that happened from the start! The moonlight, suspect one but then when it became dark" she said glaring at Karl.

"I was terrified! I tried to find my mom since and I was crying! I was shaking but then before I could find my mom... She was dead on the floor and everyone was covered in blood even me! I didn't even see that at first" she cried out looking away from them breathing heavily.
