Alastor's POV:

I sighed as I redid my bandages in the car. I was glad that I wore and brought black medical tape. It was a great way to disguise my arm while matching my clothes. Funny what you can do with fashion.

I took a deep breath in and counted my heart beats to calm my nerves from what happened before walking back inside.

Making my way over to the stage, I sat down on one of the chairs surrounding the karaoke machine. Some drunk girl was currently horribly singing Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood off key. I assume this was that Adriana girl signed up based on the songs I saw before. This meant I had to endure one more song before finishing Noah's dare.

I mean, it was the only way to prevent him from telling anyone.

Especially her.

I got bored of the singing drunk girl and went to get myself another drink when I got a text.

Unknown: Tell them tonight, or Audrey is dead.

I sucked in a breath as my heart rate picked up speed. I responded with a "fine" and pushed through people to try and find Stavo, Emma, and Brooke.

After searching around the house, I finally found the three sitting outside by the fire with nobody else there. I blew out the breath I'd been holding and shoved away any stress or anxiety I was feeling. I mustered up all my courage and stalked over there, ignoring the glares they gave me.

"Hey, guys," I awkwardly waved.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Emma demanded.

"I invited them, but I didn't mean they could come and talk to us," Brooke responded.

"Wait," I said, glancing over my shoulder. "I really need to talk to you guys about something important."

"Well, what is it?" Emma said. "Just get it over with already."

"I... didn't kill Vanessa and Selena," I told them, and they all rolled their eyes. "I know you guys don't believe me, but..." I proceeded to explain my side of the story, how me and Noah have been working on finding the real killer and how I saved them on murder island, but I left out the portal part. Honestly, I don't know how Audrey hasn't asked about it or told anyone. "The only other person there conscious was Audrey, so she can confirm it."

They all stared at me wide eyed and shocked, as if I had said I was a furry and I like to twerk in a monkey fursuit.

"Woah, that is.. a lot to process," Stavo said, staring off into the distance with his elbows propped on his legs and his hands clasped together.

"For reals," Brooke said. "But where were you all those years?"

"You have to promise not to tell anyone, the authorities said so," I responded. They all nodded, and I took a deep breath. "I was in an asylum."

As they opened their mouths to respond, Noah came over here sprinting. "It's your turn!"

I widened my eyes and stood up quickly, Noah dragging my arm over to the karaoke stage. I ripped my arm out of his grasp and lightly smacked his arm.

"What?" He asked innocently, and I glared as he walked me over to the dj.
