Jordan, careful to not make a creak on the floorboard, walked up to William, hoping to make him fall in her trap.

"Hey—uh—William, I think the fireplace wants to talk to you."

He quickly turned his head around, like an owl.

"the fireplace?" He said, getting up.

William started to hallucinate once again, starting to have small talk with the fire, letting Jordan and Amethyst to have time to get the gasoline. Amethyst grabbed the gas can out of the garage and, without a sound, went up behind William and poured the gas over his head.

"Ick! What did you guys just pour onto me?! Is this some sort of sick prank?!" William said, getting angry.

"Nope! Jordan said, grabbing a match box from off the kitchen counter.

"Hey—what did you just grab—"

Jordan swiftly emptied the match box onto William causing him to burst into flames. Jordan laughed hysterically at the sight of this from the sofa, even starting to enjoy the smell of the melting of his body. Alex got up to go to the bathroom and was horrified to see Jordan. This wasn't the best friend he knew.

Jordan looked back at him, making it known that if he snitched, he would be 6 feet under. He grabbed his phone camera to get it on tape, while she wasn't watching. She sensed him, sensed what he was doing. She got up from the sofa, turned to him, and ran for it.

Before he could even run, she had him pinned to the ground, aiming a knife at his heart.

"Alex. I thought you wouldn't snitch on a friend. Now why are you doing this?" She whined, making a pouty face.

"I—just put the knife down..hehe.." he timidly laughed.

"You know, you will have to pay for it right?" She forced a big smile.

"We can talk about this!"

     She stabbed him in the heart, she stabbed him anywhere that blood would spurt out, enjoying the pain he had from this. She threw the body into the fire too to clear the evidence of Alex's murder ever happening. Amethyst looked in disbelief. How could she ever see someone as her idol that would kill their best friend in a heartbeat.

John woke up at the crack of dawn to find 2 shriveled up skeletons. Surprisingly, he didn't even blink an eye. He had seen so many dead bodies before that now, it's the norm for him. He realized this and knew this was taking a toll on him. John ignored this realization and decided to just drag the bodies into the closet, thinking of Aphrodite.
