Among us: New features? //Completed

Chapter twenty one:

Pointing at Orange, I watched his eyes widening in surprise, him immediately getting up, only to wince from the earlier inflicted injury. All eyes turned in sync with my finger, now staring at orange, who helplessly stood there, about to speak.

"How can you just assume that? We haven't even seen your proof, and electing me off without anyone having seen your 'footage', would be like blindly following instructions. And your little companions. They could just be covering for you, who knows, maybe they're the other impostors!" He spoke, his voice loud and booming.

"He's right green. We haven't seen your proof yet, so we cannot yet make assumptions. It would be better to first verify if your evidence can be trusted before doing anything at all." The brown clad voiced, his leading voice commanding and low as he also roused from his seat, no standing with one leg on the stool, the other on the floor.

"But if we were to wait out any longer, the threat of him killing yet another person is very well existent. If we took the time to watch the footage, he might take his opportunity to kill as many people as possible before we elect him!" I retorted, urging him to understand that it was absolutely NOT a good idea to let him go.

"I'm sorry green, but we just can't vote off anyone without solid proof. We've already lost enough people and I can't afford to lose even more. Especially since I'm supposed to lead you guys. Although... I'm starting to doupt my efficiency as a leader, seeing as we are where we are." The brown clad spoke, mumbling the last part.

I sighed, realizing this was a fight I could not win, why even bother? I mumbled an apology to baby blue and black who were standing at my side, signaling for them to sit back down with a nod of my head. We all claimed our places as our own once more, specs wafting over the remaining crewmembers, only to be met with both sympathetic and judging gazes. 

"Alright everyone, I believe we have come to a conclusion about what we are going to do", the brown clad spoke, earning everyone's attention in the matter of seconds.

Soon, the meeting was put to an end by everyone agreeing to skip on voting, so that I could prove my evidence and it's credibility, until we can finalize our decision. As the people dispersed from the table again, brown walked over to where me and the others were still seated, holding out a hand. I knew what he wanted me to do, so I pulled out my tablet and unlocked it, opening the tab with the short recording on it before handing it over to our leader.

He gently took it from me, pressing the screen over the little button, letting the file play out the events we promised him.

Claiming this as my chance, I quickly ran to the electrical, letting my hands grow into claws as I quickly slashed through all of the cords, making the power go off. I could her a few gasps that seemed to be just in the next room, a faint voice instructing the other's on where to go and what to do.

Since the lights were out aswell, I was easily able to slip into the vents and jump out over in admin, carefully closing the little door so as to not make noise. Once standing, I noticed how everyone had their helmet's light on. Since I saw perfectly fine even in the dark, I refrained from turning it on and just made my way over to the closest source of light.

"Gah! What- who is there-?!" The voice spoke, the light turning as the person seemingly was looking around.

'Good', I thought, putting on my best acting skills and answered with: "Sorry! I just went to the nearest source of light I could find!"

The person then proceeded to ask me why I didn't turn mine on, but I already had a lie ready for a question like that.

"Oh the light on my helmet is broken qnd I haven't gotten it repaired yet!" I spoke, faking a nervous laugh.

"Anyways, how about we head to electrical together to fix the power?" I asked, hoping to have sounded convincing enough.

"Wh- what happened-?!" I quickly snapped my head up, realizing that the power had gone off, but so had my i-pad.

'No! Now we can't prove anything to brown!' I thought, annoyed, but also feeling panick starting to rise in me the longer I stood in the dark. It's just that... everything bad always happens in the dark. With much courage, I held my breath and reached out my hand to where I thought was black. Luckly, I felt another hand which easily pulled me in, wrapping their strong arms around me in a comforting way.

Even from just the feeling of the arms I could tell it was black, which quickly soothed some of my queasy thoughts. It's like he knew that I hated the dark. Scratch that, he does know, I told him that. And he's been with me during power-out so he knows how I feel about the dark.

"Alright guys, calm down. We'll get through this. I'll get this situation under control again and fix the lights and calm the people down. You just sit tight and try to stay alive until I return." Brown spoke, a hint of sarcasm in his voice to be heard towards the end of his sentence. I supposed he wanted to take a shot at lighting the mood even for a little.
