Danganronpa: Despair to Prodigy's

Murder/Investigation #4

(Bell POV)

It's been night for a while, I decide to get up for a glass of water when I noticed Hestia isn't by my side. I check the light in the bathroom, and she wasn't there either.

My eyes open wide. I'm immediately awake now. I run all around the building trying to find her. I first try the Cafeteria, but it was locked. I then run up to the second floor of the library, when I see Subaru.

"Oh..." He muttered at seeing my panicked state

"HAVE YOU SEEN HESTIA?!" I almost scream

"Keep it down, will ya? Damn,"  After I quiet myself, he calmly replies "I have not, however, I have not seen her go up here. So she is likely on the first floor,"

"Thanks!" 

I run back downstairs, and check all the rooms, inside the rooms I had checked, no one was there. However, I was struck still in front of the storage room. It's almost like I'm scared to open it.

I put my shakey hand on the door and twist the knob, and open it.

And then...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I burst into what is a mix of screams and tears.

Hestia had a knife right in her stomach, and next to her, was Horikita who also had a knife in her. Each was holding the other's knives.

I hear footsteps, and the first into the room is Ayanokoji, followed by everyone until finally, Subaru came down.

"Oh..." Those were the only words I could hear between my screams and sobs. 

In fact, I was so distracted, I didn't even notice Monokuma in the room at the same time.

(Ayanokoji POV)

Bell turned into a mess, right now though, that's not the main issue.

'Why is he already here?'

I stared at Monokuma before he finally gets his act together.

"As you can see a body has been found! There won't be a Monokuma file this time, since any information at all would give away the killer!"

"Hey, you can't just give us nothing," Kyoko said with her arms crossed.

But before he could be interrogated further, he fled the room.

"Well, let's do our best," Subaru said as he went to the bodies, Shinobu following.

Shinobu inspected the bodies, and her eyes opened in shock.

"Well...There are two possibilities for Hestia," She said in a nervous voice "Either, she was killed by the knife, which is obvious, or she was killed by poison,"

"Poison, huh..." Subaru muttered "I guess they changed out the bottle,"

"What do you mean?" Noell asked

"Ayanokoji and I, this morning went to the medical room, and the chem room, to see if there were any drugs used, just to be safe. They were all full when we got there though,"

"Likely cause the drugs refill each morning," I added "We also wanted to check if there was proof if anyone had been up there, but there was no proof either,"

This was a troubling situation. But what mattered was who the murderer was, not how the people were killed.

"Let's go around collecting evidence," I suggested, taking an odd stance on leadership that I normally never did.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Also, someone stay here with Bell," 

"I will," Subaru suggested
