(Sorry, short chapter!)
Reader POV (play video here, please!)
I was surrounded by a mountain of corpses in a bloodstained classroom. Everyone but me was dead. My scissors were drenched with blood, and even a thread was hanging. My chest heaved with heavy breathing. I had to ran away, fast before anyone else came in.
I quickly dashed to the door. The sun had already set. I had no time to search for my diary. Closing the door behind me, and checking if there was nobody in sight, I ran down the hallways, to the front door. I had somehow grabbed my bag.
Once outside, I let out a sigh of relief at seeing no one. I had to get away...! Running as fast as I could, back to my house, I continued to spot nobody.
In a matter of minutes, I came to my block. My legs began to ache, and my head spun with the reality... That I had murdered my entire class. Without any hesitation. My temples began to throb.
Once inside my safe home, that was dark, and fixed, I turned on the lights, leaving a bloody fingerprint on the switch. I kicked off my equally bloody shoes and socks.
This blood was starting to bother me. Worse, it was beginning to dry. I had to get it off.
In the bathroom, I turned on the water to the shower. Then I turned on the sink. I looked in the mirror. It was a truly pitiful sight. My entire face was soaked in blood, my h/c was spiky and red(der). Come to think of it, I could smell the blood. Then I looked down at my hands. My scissors were still in my hands.
The water cascaded down my hands and weapon. The blood immediately came off, and my normal skin color was visible again. My heart ached. No matter how much I cleansed myself, I would never be able to get the blood off.
This was weird. I've killed people many times in my life. Why does this wound me? My classmates were arrogant idiots. They deserved to die. Rose even said Mount Purgatory would not be easy to climb. Is their journey harsh right now? Or are they on their way to heaven right now?
I had no way of knowing. I had no way of caring. It was all behind me. Well, until I'm chased by the police...
How would I explain this to Killua and Alluka? What would they say? As if answering my question, I heard my phone vibrate on the bathroom sink. It said Killua's contact, and a picture of him kissing my cheek with his eyes closed in bliss.
Looking at it made me smile, and it eased the headache. I picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey, love. Are you okay; you sound real tired. Girls giving you a hard time at school again?" His voice was like sweet music, and like a pain killer for my headache.
"Yeah. But I took care of it..." It was a half lie. At least to him. He thought that I had just talked my way out of it... "Oh. Okay. Want us to come over?"
"I'd like that." I breathed. I really did enjoy that. "I'm tired..."
"Okay. I'll be over in an hour. Want anything?" He asked. He was so sweet... "No. Thank you, baby."
"Love you."
"Love you too."
I hung up the phone. Now to get the blood off of me.

I was all clean, my clothes were clean, my shoes were clean, and I washed the bloody fingerprint off of my light switch. No sign of blood was on me.
I heard someone knock on the door. I walked up to the door and opened it. As soon as I did, arms flung around my waist. "Y/n-née!" Alluka shrieked in excitement.
Since I was in a bathrobe, it was pretty awkward. A little bit of my chest was revealed. So it was crazy awkward. "Hi, Alluka! How are you?"
"Great! How are you? I just kicked Brother's butt at chess!" She cried. We backed into the house. "Where's your brother, Alluka?" I asked.
Alluka looked up from my stomach and looked around in confusion. "Eh? He was here just a..." She pulled away and looked around.
"Brother! Where are you?! I'm gonna kick you when I find you!" She yelled around the house. All of a sudden, arms wrapped around my waist from behind. "What? I was here." Killua remarked from behind my shoulders.
"So you were there!" Alluka put her hands on her hips. "Alluka~? Could you close the door? And you, get your hand off me!" I tried to pry Killua's arms off, but he just continued to rock me back and forth slowly.
After Alluka closed the door, she and Killua plopped down on the couch. I tied my bathrobe tight, and sat down with them.
"How was school? Do you have a new assignment?" Alluka asked cheerfully. I flinched slightly. "... School was good. I didn't get any homework." Cause I'm never going there again...
Alluka turned on the television, and SpongeBob came on. "Nice!" She laid back into Killua's chest.
All of a sudden, the cartoon was interrupted. "We interrupt this program with some breaking news. In Theodore Academy," I gasped a little bit. That was my school.
"A massacre has broken out in a classroom, leaving nineteen young girls dead. The murderer is unknown but on the loose. Please be on the lookout for a young man- oh I mean woman holding large scissors. That is all." The reporter explained.
I snatched the remote from Alluka and changed the channel. I didn't want to hear anymore. No more reminders that I killed my entire class...!
"Mm? What's wrong, y/n?!" Killua asked when I turned away from the both of them and buried my face in the cushion. "It's nothing... I'm just cold..."
"I'll find a blanket for you!" Alluka cheerfully yelled. Without another word, she jumped off the couch and ran upstairs, leaving Killua and I alone.
He placed on hand on my side softly. "Y/n, what happened at school?" He whispered.
I... Had to tell him... "I... Killed..." I mumbled. "What?"
"I killed... All of them... I killed them all..." I whispered. I imagined that he would take his hand off me and move away from me... That's what he should have done. But instead, he rolled me over so that I could look into his icy blue eyes.
"Y/n... Did they force you to kill them...?" He whispered. His eyes had so much understanding... I nodded, my eyes filling up. "Tell me."
"It was about Richard. I was accused of killing him. Then, they accused you..." I paused to swallow a lump in my throat. Tears ran down my cheeks. Killua just pulled me into his chest. "Shh... You can tell me later. Just let it out now." He whispered reassuringly.
This was the second time he told me this. First in the park. And now...
Killua's POV
Oh, Y/n, what did you do...? Who did you kill? Why'd you do it? And how? As much I wanted to know everything about the murder, my main concern is... Where she would head next.
She couldn't stay here. And if she couldn't stay here, I guess I couldn't either. I wanted to stay with her. The hard part was to convince Alluka.
Alluka was standing in front of the couch with a confused look on her face. I nodded at her to put the blanket on us and try to squeeze in. She unfolded the light green blanket and laid it on us. Then she lifted one part of the blanket and laid upon herself. Then she hugged y/n's back.
Y/n didn't outwardly pay attention, but inside, she knew Alluka was there. She knew... We were both there for her.
