Vinnys point of view:

I slowly arose from my deep sleep. My eyes fluttered open, almost as if they had been sewed together and I struggled to open them to view the faded world. I soon found out that I was lying in my bed, in my bedroom, in my house. Safe from any danger, or so I thought. How had I gotten back here last night after I fainted at the field?
As I headed to the bathroom, I was greeted with another deadly surprise.
Nina was hanging from the ceiling, with a rope tied around her neck.
A gasp escaped my mouth before I could react, and then I fell to the cool, tiled flooring. I tucked my knees into my chest and let all my emotions slowly spill out. How could I have let this happen? Another killing and I believed it was all my fault. I looked up at the hanging doll, Nina. I pushed myself up from the floor and went over to examine her limp body, tears still falling from my eyes. The colour from her pale face had all been drained and a look of shock was on her face.
What made me feel even worse, was that Nina had not been guilty of killing Kara, Miles or Emily. My eyes flickered over a small piece of paper which was grasped tightly in Nina's hand. I unfolded her cold hands and took the piece of paper. It was crumpled and parts of the paper were torn, but the words from what looked like a letter were still readable. My eyes fluttered over the page.

To Vinny, Seth and Alicia,
I'm sorry that I will leave you in such a terrable time. After what has happened recently, talking my own life I'm sure will make things much worse, but this earth is just not my place. I've tried for so loing, but I never seem to fic in. Honestly, I'm sure withiut me here, things will be a lot easaer. I was niver guilty of killing anyone and all of my friends believings that I did, just made things a wholt lot worse. I know all of you guhs never really liked or trusted me thate much, but before I leave this morld, I want to say that hunging out with you guys was really enjorable for me. Now, as you can see I'm runding out of space to write, and also my time here is almest up. Death is just a corner away. I'm sorry to do this to you in such a hard time, but I don't think anyone of you guys will really care that I'm leaving. I just hope you now understand that I'm nor the murder and never was.
Bye guys, Nina xx

Tears caught in my throat and I felt like I couldn't breathe, or let air pass through my body. I read the letter over and over again. No, Nina couldn't have killed herself. She couldn't have written a suicide letter either. Was this my fault too? I always believed that Nina was guilty, did that mean that I lead her to doing this to herself!? I didn't know how my body had created so many tears in the last hour, but I continued to cry. I was a terrible person.
After a while, once I had calmed down a bit and my tears had started to slow, I read over the letter again. Something wasn't right about it, but I didn't know what. I read over the letter several times again, studying every single detail about the letter...and then it hit me. This letter may've been a suicide letter, but it was also a code. When i re-read the letter again, my heart stopped. I knew who the murderer was.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Vinny has finally discovered who the murderer is! I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to keep you hanging a little bit more...
If any of yous are eager or smart enough to try and figure out the 'code' to knowing who the murderer is yourself, then feel free to try and figure it out. It's all in the letter, clues-I made those spelling mistakes for a reason.....
