Flicker

Let us Free

There was 20 minutes left until the murder can play. Am not Surprised how time passes so quickly. Kinda glad, but then again am not. Only because I don't want someone else to die, especially Marcus he is the only friend I have you can say. However, Marcus was smiling while looking at the clock. I've started to get concerned about this but decided not to think much about it. Still, don't let your guard down.

"Marcus, what are you smiling about?" I started to be questioning him.

"Oh, because soon the murder will be eliminated, and we will all be able to home safe!" There it is, giving me a warm smile.

Sometimes I've wonder how calm this man is. How can he remain calm in the first place? What if Hannah isn't the murdered? or maybe she is. She dared to accused me to made her seem like the good guy. We all know she isn't.

Jessica was creating of some sort of bracelet. She was trying to cover it up, not wanting anyone to see it. Then she looked at the clock and stand up. Walked up to Marcus and gave a sweet smile like if she was an innocent girl. How pathetic, no one is innocent in this room. Seemed like Marcus had no interest in talking to her. Matter of fact, he looked aggravated.

"I've made this for you" She takes out and shows the bracelet to him.

"Thank you, but not interested." Straight like that, with a straight face. I never imagen Marcus to be also a cold person towards certain people.

I tried to hold my laugh but couldn't help it and let out a small giggle.

"Ahem, it's not respectful to stare." Jessica glared at me.

"It's not respectful to act like a bitch." Marcus spoke to her with a sharp tone.

Jessica had no word to say but stayed quiet. Until some seconds passed, she opens that annoying mouth of hers.

"Am sorry Marcus, I didn't mean to disrespect her. Truly those weren't my intentions."

Tch, yeah right. Like she cared, she only wanted his attention. That was the main reason she even came towards Marcus in the first place.

Marcus nodded and said completely nothing. I know he doesn't like her, I don't either. I've started smirking while looking at her. It was a satisfying feeling since you can realize on her face, she was completely mad.

Casually me was bored, so I decided to sit in the couch and picked some random book that I can find in the small bookshelf. Hearing a loud thud against the wall. This brought me some bad memories. Please no, not another night like this. I turn around and only to see Marcus pinning Jessica against the wall. She was smirking. Did he wanted to leave so he can be with her? When did they became so close? Whatever, I don't care it's only been two nights since I met this dam guy.

Am going to lose my mind by the end of this game, that's if I make it out alive. As soon I was going to turn back around to keep reading my book, Jessica's smirk faded away. Her eyes were watery, was she crying? Marcus stopped pinning her and Jessica ran away to her room. I've notice Marcus sighed out of relief. This guy is so confusing. The lights shut off without a warning once again, am not surprised by this. Time usually takes longer in this hell hole, where did all the time go?

I've felt something sharp around my neck. This is it. this is how I die? Shutting my eyes and prayed to God. The feeling was gone. Am I dead? no, am still alive. A horrible scream was heard. It was a male screaming. The lights flickered and turned back on. I pass my hand around my neck making sure I didn't have a cut or was bleeding but nothing. Blood was running down the dining table.

My face went pale.

"Joshua was torn apart. Horrible way to die, hate to break it to all of you but Joshua didn't bother to write anything on his journal. This meaning no clues for anyone." the person said.

This guy has no sympathy. He wouldn't be acting like this, if he was in our place.

"Who knows? that can be your night snack! or tomorrows breakfast or even dinner!" They laughed.

This guy just crossed the line. That is disgusting.

"Enough talking, you may now discuss and insert a vote."

No one spoke but instead all looked at Hannah. Tears were forming in her eyes.

"I didn't do anything I swear! Please!" She cried.

I swear, I wish I felt guilt for her but if I don't get rid of her, she will try to accuse me and try to vote me out. Just like earlier. I inserted a vote and glared at her, rolling my eyes before starting to stare at Jessica. She was glaring at me. At least do something different. She came up and walked towards me, then whisper in my ear. "I'll make sure you will be next, if Hanah isn't the killer." Then walked past me.

What is her obsession with me.

"Hannah has been ejected. But to make it more fun, you are all incorrect! Hannah was not the murdered." He laughed like a total maniac.

I spotted Jessica looking at me again. Hannah fell onto her knees and cried while yelling, "You betrayers! I did nothing to deserve it. I hope you all burn in hell."

"Tomorow I'll read her journal, let's see if she wrote anything useful right?" The voice was shut down. It was quiet for a very long time.

Everyone had a guilty face. Regretting their decision since they voted an innocent person out. But of course, except me but I had to fake one. This is for my benefit because I don't want anyone to think anything else. After all, one wrong move can lead to consequences. This isn't a game for us but a game for them. If we want to survive, we have to work together. Otherwise, there is no guarantee we will all leave this place alive.
