Lights Off. (Alone Again 2) - A Roblox Flicker Story.

Chapter Four - Dedication to Winning.

The lights shut off once again.

The night-time had started.

Liling stood in the dark, trying to see everyone around her. Luckily for her, she had rather good vision when it came to seeing in the dark.
"Guys!" yelled a voice, most likely Vinny's, "Guys we can still do the plan I was talking about!"

"Absolutely NOT," argued another voice, belonging to Thiago, "If there is some crazy MURDERER here, I'm not being caught DEAD near them!" his voice trailed off as loud footsteps got quieter and quieter, as Thiago walked away.
"That imbecile..." Alab muttered, "You're more likely to die when you're alone then if you were with someone else!" However, everyone else also seemed to disperse and find somewhere to rest for the night. Liling could see that some people went off in pairs but everyone else went off alone. Liling walked around aimlessly for a while. She didn't have much to do, she didn't know who to kill or if she should even kill someone. The whole situation seemed ridiculous to her, having to kill other people for some silly game. But she was determined to win. Determined to come out on top. She didn't care who she'd have to kill. If she found a way to win, she didn't care. It was better than being trapped in a broken-down facility, anyways.

Her black shoes hit the ground with each step she took. Her eyes peered around the area, looking for a target. But then the realisation kicked in. Was she really going to kill someone? Did she actually want to take someone's life away from them? What if I just... Didn't kill anyone tonight. It sounded ridiculous, the opposite of her role, but the journals nor announcement never said anything about not using their abilities. Liling certainly didn't want to kill someone. It all happened so soon; she had barely even recovered from seeing Minji's corpse less than an hour ago. Her mind was racing with violent thoughts, but she remained calm, not wanting any blood on her hands that night. Liling sat down in the corner opposite where she woke up. In the corner of her eye, she thought she could see someone else, but she ignored it.

She had no plan. All she knew was that she wasn't going to kill anyone that night and was treating Minji's death as a first kill. There wasn't much for her to do, except try to sleep. She closed her eyes. Her breathing steadied out and Liling tried to drift away to sleep. She could hear some people talking.

Almost everyone else was asleep, except for two unknown people.
"No, don't go, okay? Please, I'm really worried about that announcement..." said one voice. Liling could hear that it was a somewhat feminine-sounding voice.
"No way you actually believe that shit! Of course, we're safe here, nobody's going to die. Also, if you were correct about her being here, she'd want to see you. So, follow me!" a second voice retorted.
"It's definitely her. I can tell her voice from a mile away, we are close y'know?" the first one replied. Their tone sounded annoyed.

The next morning, Liling heard a loud voice yelling into her face.

"Hey... Hellooooo? Liling, wake up! Hey! Liling! What if I'm scaring her, Ally? I mean, she doesn't even know who I- Oh, Liling you're awake! Hello!" Liling opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a person she had never even seen before. They had long black hair that faded to red, and they had two buns at the top of their head. This person was wearing a beige and red striped top and a light beige pair of cargo jeans. "Hiya, Liling! My name is Halona! Your friend Ally woke me up and told me to introduce myself to you!" they said, smiling. Great. Liling forced a smile and waved.

"She's not my friend. But, hello Halona, nice to meet you," Liling replied. She stood up to her feet and looked around. There were no unknown faces around except Halona.

"So, turns out that Halona here was hiding for the first day! Says they were too scared to come out, which, honestly, is quite fair," Ally informed her, "There's a few more awake by the way, I'm just going around waking everyone up!" It was true: Vinny, Jonah, Alab, Omar, Thiago, Mateo, Adanna, and Arielle were all awake and stood in the largest room, on the other side of the doorway of the room Liling was currently in. It sounded like Alab and Thiago were arguing. Liling didn't want to listen to their two very irritating voices yelling at one another, so she walked over to the corridor with the four rooms. On the floor in the last room on the left, there was a body. Marley's body. She was laying on the floor with her limbs all sprawled out. But there was no blood. Liling sank down to one knee and placed her finger on Marley's neck, checking for a pulse. She was definitely alive. Feeling relieved, Liling woke Marley up.
