INVESTIGATION (PT.1)

~Alex's POV~

A chill runs through my blood. There's... Two bodies? Charli and Jade's screams echo through my mind, bouncing off of the sides of my rushing brain. I can't hear myself repeating words rapidly. Everything's spinning again. Everything's...

My surroundings tip to the left, yet my body heavily falls to the right. The concrete doesn't scrape my skin, instead, a pair of arms link under my arms to support me up.

"Alex, take it easy," Drake says, steadily helping me back to my feet. He turns to Jade. "Jade, can you... Take her?"

Jade nods and makes her way over to me. She reaches her hand out to me, then suddenly pauses in her tracks with creased brows.

"J-Jade?..." Charli stammers, picking at her nails with tears brimming in her eyes.

The fighter shakes her head, then backs away a couple of steps, eyeing me up and down. I press my lips together in a thin line and bite the inside of my lip. Before I can say anything, Jade starts in a shaky voice.

"Alex... Who's blood is that?" She asks, gesturing to the blood on me. I look down, and it's still there. I don't know why, but I was hoping that it was nothing but a dazed hallucination... It's all over my socks, my legs, my dress, my chest, and... My hands? Why is there blood on my hands?

I glance up from my fingers and see their panicked, worried expressions. I only shake my head, yet there's no certainty behind it. I'm sure they notice it, too. My hands make their home on my arms and I apply pressure to myself... I don't know whose it is. I don't know how to comfort myself or calm myself down... I can't do this.

Drake stutters over his words before he can muster up a proper sentence. "H-Hey, would you... Alex, seriously, what happened?"

"I-I don't know," I mumble, shaking my head again. "I don't... I'm useless right now..."

The gamer then turns to the girls and requests, "Can you both take her to the motel or something? See if there's a shower?"

Charli and Jade glance at each other, then at me, then toward Drake. They both agree with evident reluctance. I can't blame them, of course. Blood is all over me and it's unknown who the owner of it is.

Drake nods, then sighs. "I'll— Uh... I'll message the others, alright? You guys go ahead."

Jade walks past me grabbing my wrist and drags me along. Charli follows and we walk to the motel. The pit in my stomach doesn't leave, in fact, it grows wider. What's going on with me? I... Everything feels wrong. I was stopped in the middle of the night and a rag was forced on my face. I passed out, and now two people are dead. There's blood all over me... But, I don't know who it belongs to... Did I do this?

We arrive at the motel, the familiar color scheme burns my eyes. We don't climb the steps, they instantly head toward a door in front of us, and Jade tugs at it. It doesn't open. Naturally, you'd think she'd leave and look for another unlocked door, right? Wrong.

She steps back, kicks her heel at the bottom of the knob and it flies right off. Without batting an eye, she drags me into the motel room and Charli closes the door behind her.
