Chapter 5- Secrets

Etho POV:

My team's camp was very far away from the other camps in fact it was very far north. I don't know how my team members travel so quickly but I guess, they have their own ways. I thought about Noah wondering if he was okay at home alone, but I quickly dismissed that thought remembering Noah insisting he would be fine. I arrived at the camp and looked around. It looked like a winter wonderland and it gave you a Christmas vibe, plus it was far from death. I looked at the bases wondering which one was Accio's. I walked until I reached the middle of the camp. There was a pole with signs and a billboard. One of the notes on the billboard said "Gone to collect some supplies Accio saw me write this note -Lizzie" smart I thought. A thought struck me and I searched the billboard for a note and I found it "Going to meet up with Pearl near the spruce forest Lizzie saw me write this note -Accio" but another thought struck me a rather bad one Accio could've lied. I decided to look at the oldest note I could find. Maybe Accio left a note on the first day I found one "Going to collect supplies with-" It was ripped in half, weird. I looked at the pole "Lizzies Base" and the sign pointed at a base. I looked at the pole again "Accio's Base" and it pointed at a path with little candy canes.

Walking over to Accio's base I heard a voice "Bonjour Etho, how can I help you today?" I turned around to see Accio, "Oh! Accio you startled me a bit,”I said with a little chuckle. "I did? Sorry about that, didn't mean to startle you!" Accio replied and apologized over and over again. "Um- It’s ok- but I was looking for you… So I’m glad we did bump into each other-,” I said, giving her an awkward smile. "You were? Everyone has been avoiding me recently, only Lizzie still talks to me. You know why?" Accio asked with visible confusion. "Oh- I don’t know why she is still talking to you- but I came here to maybe… talk about Bdubs death- since we are kinda teammates even though I'm kinda far,”I said hoping she would agree to talk about Bdubs death. "Bdub is dead!? Is that why he stopped visiting me?" she replied, forgetting that she already knew this. Either she is a good actor or she genuinely forgot. "Well- duh! But I would still like to talk about his death- I don't think I have that much time left being here-,”I said hoping she wouldn’t question why I couldn’t stay for long. "Oh, Etho be honest with me, does anyone even like me here?" she whispered. “Accio- I don’t have time for this! I just want to talk about Bdubs death so I can understand what happened better! Please-,” I said, starting to get a bit annoyed. "I KNEW IT, BDUBS, LIZZIE, JOEL, AND PEARL ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT LIKE ME HERE. EVERYONE ELSE HATES ME!! I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE JOINED HERMITCRAFT, WHY DID I LISTEN TO BDUBS! WHY DO I  HAVE TO BE NICE? WHY DO I GET JUDGED? TELL ME ETHO DID YOU EVEN WANTED ME TO JOIN? DID ANYONE? NOW BDUBS IS DEAD!?" yelled Accio sounding very sad, angry, and confused. “Accio- I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! NOAH IS AT HOME SLOWLY LOSING HIS MIND AND STARTING TO TURN INTO A-,” I stopped realizing I said too much. "Turn into what, Etho? A Watcher!? A Listener!? A Parrot that swears!? A murderer!? I know there is something wrong with Noah, Etho I'm not stupid. If you aren't going to tell me I will find out, no one can hide their secrets from me.......I'm going to visit Azar. I know you are getting annoyed with me. Have a nice day Etho. I'm going to the billboard to write a note.  Accio said, waiting for Etho to say something. “Nothing! Why would Noah be turning into something- Uh… LEAVE! JUST LEAVE! GO VISIT AZAR IF YOU MUST!,” I said in anger and worriedness. "I LIVE HERE, ETHO! WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE?! YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE!!" Accio screamed at me. I never heard her scream at someone "Hey Etho I think you should leave."  A voice said. I turned to see Lizzie, she looked rather p*ssed. "FINE! I WISH I NEVER GOT PAIRED UP WITH YOU GUYS! NOW I’M GOING HOME TO NOAH! AT LEAST NOAH MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I’M WANTED!” I said, turning and leaving as quickly as I can not wanting to be around them anymore. As I walked away I heard a yell "Etho don't walk there!" I ignored them, and it turns out it was my biggest mistake not listening to them. I heard something fall. I looked up to see a large icicle. Before I knew it I just took my last breath.

<Ethoslab was impaled by a icicle>
<Noah: W-What?! NO! I CAN’T LOSE YOU TOO! NO! No… no…
<Accio: ETHO YOU IDIOT>
<Noah: DID YOU DO THIS! I’LL KILL YOU! I WILL! I’m losing everyone that loved me… now I ONLY HAVE MY BROTHER LEFT! YOU! Why.. no-
<Lizzie: NO!! Accio didn't do it. I was there. The icicle fell on it own.>
<Grian: What??>
<Keralis: MEETING NOW!!

Third Person POV:

Everyone arrived at the meadow looking rather angry, scared, and sad. Accio and Lizzie didn't look the best, they were all wet, and snow stuck to them but they ignored that fact. "Everyone settle down, thank you! As I am pretty sure you all noticed the notification. Etho has sadly died." Keralis said, sounding distressed. Noah spoked up " HE WAS MURDERED! ACCIO AND LIZZIE LETTED HIM DIE! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT! HOW COULD YOU!” Noah said fully clothed that you couldn’t barely see any of his skin. "Actually we tried to stop him but he didn't listen, we tried to push him out of the way. But as you can see we failed." Lizzie said trying to be calm but failing. "HOW DO I KNOW YOU AREN’T LYING! FIRST ACCIO KILLED BDUBS THEN KILLING ETHO!” Noah said almost looking like he was going to tackle Accio and Lizzie. "I- I killed Bdubs?" Accio looked like she wanted to cry. “HOW COULD YOU FORGET?! IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY! YOU AND PEARL WHERE THERE AND SHUBBLE WAS FORCED TO WATCH!” Noah yelled even louder.

"SHUT UP NOAH! YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO YELL AT ME, WHAT ABOUT YOURSELF. ETHO TOLD ME YOU WERE TURNING INTO SOMET- Ignore what I said guys I just didn't get enough sleep sorry." Accio said changing the topic. "W-Wha… did you- just say…” Noah said, starting to back away looking nervous and scared now. "Noah I'm so sorry I didn't mean to say that '' Accio said, getting nervous as well and also starting to back away. “Um… Accio or Lizzie please tell us what Etho said… There is a murder out there!" Mumbo said. What Accio did was unexpected. She ran while she was running she accidentally bumped into Noah, quickly saying sorry she continued to run away from the meeting before flying away. "We will have this meeting at a better time, sorry for any inconvenience." Keralis was very distressed.
I stood there for a couple of seconds and then headed back home not talking to anyone. I walked into my hobbit hole home. I took all my extra clothes and walked into a corner and sat down. Then I felt a note in my pocket. I took it out and unfolded it. It read:
Dear Noah, (please don't rip this letter!)
           
            I wrote this letter before the meeting, sorry if it looks very messy.
           I AM SO SO SORRY ABOUT ETHO I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON AND DESERVE TO DIE.
           I WISH I COULD SAVE ETHO REALLY I DO. I REALLY DESERVE TO DIE. IF I SAID        ANYTHING STUPID AT THE MEETING I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO BEAT ME UP. I AM SO SORRY I AM AN AS***** I DESERVE TO DIE. I SHOULDN'T BE HERE AT HERMITCRAFT.
I'M PRETTY SURE I AM THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE DEAD. I AM SO SORRY NOAH I EVEN GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO KILL ME. NOBODY LIKES ME. I FEEL SO GUILTY EVERYDAY
KNOWING PEOPLE NEVER WANTED ME HERE.

Very guilty, stupid, awful, deserves to die
-Accio

P.S A friend you will forever have… If I am considered as a friend

That was all it said. The whole time I was reading it I was crying. Why was I so stupid? I thought. She tried to help Etho and I still blamed her for his death… People probably think I’m dangerous or not to be trusted. What do I do now? Is there anything I can do? Who knows… I clinched the note curling up into a ball. I’ve lost almost everyone that was close to me. Now I only have my brother. I looked down at my hands. They were now black and it was starting to spread the more angry and sad I got. I couldn’t stop it- It was part of me… It was more or a curse if I had to say. I just wanted everything to go back to normal. Me and Tango are having relationship problems… Xisuma and Etho are dead- I barely see my brother any more. I lived alone… I kinda parted away from my group after Xisuma died. I didn’t know what to do. I could visit Jimmy. Me and Jimmy were kind of close but not like Etho and Xisuma of course.

Third Person POV:

Noah stood up and put on extra clothing and put Accio's note in his pocket. Leaving his home and making sure to lock the door as he flew over to Jimmy's house. When Noah arrived at Jimmy's base it was very quiet. Noah opened the door "Hey Jimmy, it's Noah." said Noah. No reply, a bit suspicious Noah looked around only to see Jimmy  surrounded by TNT and skulk sensors "Help me Noah!"
