CHAPTER 4

Koen was frozen until he heard Willie's sobs.

"Wil. Willie, I'm here, don't worry." Koen said quickly, hugging him,"Wil, it's going to be fine. Estella's okay," Koen said, however, he knew that it was a lie. With just a glance, it was evident Estella had already lost too much blood.

'But how?' He thought. He and Willie couldn't have not seen the body when they were walking into Armory. No, that scream- it belonged to Estella. The question was, why did she scream? And how did she stab herself? Was it even an accident? Koen shivered, considering the other possible reason: murder. But that couldn't happen... right?

Willie sobbed into Koen's shoulder, clutching him tight,"W-why- she-" He choked, stammering. "Wil, shh. It's fine. Everything's okay. We can still save her." Koen insisted. One hand steadying Willie, Koen's other hand fumbled for his tablet. He remembered something John had said in the morning announcements.

Koen searched for a report button on the screen,  all the while his hands trembling. 'How do you remain calm in such a situation? Ugh, crap." thought Koen. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, and a faint 'beep'. 'Someone's opening a door.' thought Koen. His defense mechanisms made him pull Willie behind him in an instant, holding up his glowing screen as if it would protect him somehow. Someone was coming towards him and his boyfriend, and if it was somehow Estella's murderer, then they, they would be the next victims...

Light flooded into the hallway as the doors of Cockpit hissed open. Koen squinted and blinked at the sudden light, before he could finally make out the figure who had opened the door- John. 

John paled. Staring at Koen and Willie, he stuttered,"Wh-why-did...did you-" Koen interrupted,"John, where's the report button? We have to save her!" 

John glanced from Koen to Willie nervously, his face sweating,"I-I-" Willie grabbed Koen tighter,"Ko-Koen, quickly..." Koen felt a bead of sweat slide down his forehead. "John!" Koen yelled.

"Th-The corner-" John stuttered, still frozen. Koen searched in the corners before finding a small red icon. Clicking on it, a 'REPORT' screen popped up. Koen quickly pressed it.

"Wait, NO-" John shouted suddenly-

'BEEP...'

"She's not with us, Allie, what do we do?" came Suniyah's voice from her right. Aline replied, just as anxious,"I don't know. But-but it's fine though, I mean, we just got separated. We'll find the light supply and fix it or something, I'm sure it's easy! Then Azi can easily find her way out-"

"Suniyah?"

Aline waited for a reply, but received none. She quieted down and heard ragged breathing to her right. Aline stretched out her hand, searching for Suniyah. Her hand met a clothes sleeve and she grasped it tight. "Are you okay, Suniyah?"

Suniyah gasped,"T-there..." "What?" Aline asked, confused. "There!" Aline felt Suniyah take a step back, and she did too. "Suniyah, what's there?"  "A-Do you n-not see it?" Suniyah grabbed her hand and started moving backwards. Aline tripped over a wire and fell onto the wall behind her. She could still hear Suniyah's fast breathing.

"A-An impostor! Right there!" Suniyah screamed. Aline turned immediately-

But of course, she could see nothing. Quick as lightning, she reached for her tablet and pointed it towards the hallway. There was still nothing there. "Suniyah, th-there's nothing..." Aline murmured. Aline glimpsed Suniyah's terrified face, her hand shaking while pointing. "It's coming! Towards u-us- we have to run, Allie, there!"
