Chapter 2: Secrets Can Kill...

INVESTIGATION

*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: **✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *

~Alex's POV~

"What..." The word floats hopelessly in the air. My eyes are glued to Kat, who sits dead against the desk. Her eyes are blank and she stares up at the ceiling with her mouth hanging open with foam and blood. The smell of iron burns my nose... Why?... Why is it so brutal?

I stumble back and my back collides with the wall. I steady my balance, my eyes don't leave Kat's dead body. Kat Estelle... The Ultimate Athlete... Her personality was bright, and she was nice to have around. She's helped with so much, even if she doesn't know, and... A-and... 

In a brisk movement, I hunch over a nearby trash can and hurl. My palm presses against the wall to steady myself. Dry coughs arise once I stand back up. I brush my sleeve against my watering eyes. I finally hear everyone else's reactions.

"What the fuck... What the fuck..." Zach mumbles repeatedly, staring with wide, watering eyes at the body.

Drake walks up behind him and peers down at it. He's silent. However, it's easy to tell with his creased eyebrows and his mouth gaping. There are various reactions, but the one to catch my attention is Skye's.

She mumbles as tears rush down her face, "No... No, please no..." She then semi-shouts at us all, "Which one of you-... I know it was one of you, which of you fuckers did it!?! Speak. Up. NOW!"

Candi walks up behind her, turns her away from Kat's dead body, and gently pulls her into an embrace. Skye sobs heavily, Candi's eyes have tears building up in the corners of them.

"Notagainnotagainnotagainnotagain!" Light exclaims repeatedly, his hands tangling in his hair. He's trying his hardest not to faint again, since I'm the only one here who'd know. "I-I'm not doing this bullshit again!"

Jaxx attempts to speak up a few times but pauses. Then, he finally does, "We'll... We'll have to."

"This doesn't make any sense," Levi says with confusion and fear. 

"What do you...?"

Levi continues, tense, "I... I had just seen her. She was alive."

"I know this moron didn't just admit to killing her?!" Jade exclaims, pointing accusingly at him.

Levi shakes his head. "No! I mean I had just seen her go to the cafeteria."

There are no more concerns. I take a few deep breaths and calm myself down slightly before Monokuma, Moon, and Miss Misa appear in thin air. 

"Woohoo! Act Two, Scene Two!" Monokuma cheers. "Geebas, how brutal? Did she have a personal grudge or somethin'?"

"What the hell are you doing here," Zach grumbles with clenched fists. I swear there was a vein popping out of his forehead.

Monokuma tilts his head. "Hm? Right, I have another delivery! But, ya gotta beat me in rock, paper, scissors. No guns allowed-"

Zach steps up to Monokuma aggressively and shouts, "Hurry up before I STOMP YOU OUT!" 

Before he does anything reckless, Drake quickly grabs Zach's shoulder and pulls his back. I zone out slightly as the Monochrome bear rambles about complete nonsense. Suddenly, I'm snapped back when someone holds out the familiar tablet.
