the disney murders | completed

three.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Brynn and Alexander had decided on a race to go downstairs, since everything was better when it was in competition. Alexander took the lift, since the blonde was petrified of them, whilst Brynn hurried down the stairs just to feel the accomplishment of beating him, even though it was nearly certain that she would win since the hotel lifts were so slow and took you on a shaky ride.
⠀⠀⠀⠀There was 15 flights of stairs, but Brynn had to take them at least 4 times a day, which meant that she was in shape, which she had been already from all of the dancing she did. Most people would be panting and bright red by the time they reached the lobby, but Brynn looked as cool as a cucumber as she stood outside the doors of the two lifts, waiting for Alexander to reach her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀He arrived another few minutes later, accompanied by a elderly lady who seemed to be too close to him for comfort. She blew Alexander a kiss as she walked away, looking far too upbeat for a lady of her age. Alexander gave Brynn a weak smile and his girlfriend ran over and wrapped an arm round his waist as he broke down into a fit of the giggles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Now Brynn, where are the newspaper holders?" Alexander asked once he had recovered, running a hand through his hair and beginning to scour the surrounding area for a stack of newspapers. There was a lot of paparazzi and news reporters, hanging around and trying to interview anyone they could. Brynn immediately bowed her hand and forced Alexander to do the same, since neither were in the mood to be forced into an interview.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"There they are," Brynn whispered, using her curtain of blonde hair to hide her face, which she guessed that the reporters would've noted by now, since they'd probably want to talk to everyone from the trip. She grabbed Alexander's forearm and dragged him over to a stack newspapers, displayed on a black wire rack.
⠀⠀⠀⠀They all had the same story as the front page news, Kendall's death. Most varied in headlines, but Brynn had never found the headlines very good in newspapers, so she ignored them and immediately grabbed some various newspapers and buried them under her shirt. Alexander did the same, but he froze as he saw the door open, Brynn hadn't noticed since she was facing the other way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh fuck," he murmured, all of the newspapers in his hands falling out of his grasp and fluttering to the ground slowly. His eyes were wide as he watched the scene unfold before him, and his eyes hooked onto the frightened glance of Anna McNulty, a skinny girl who had been rather quiet on the trip so far.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Alex? What's wrong ?" Brynn asked as Anna came running over, throwing her arms around the slim blonde figure of Brynn, causing all of the newspapers that had been stashed beneath her shirt to fall to the ground.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Anna's face had gone a chalky white shade and her mouth seemed perpetually open in horror. A flurry of police officers came in, running in and causing the news reporters and the paparazzi to go into frenzy mode. Microphones were being shoved everywhere and pencils were scribbling on sheets quickly as they tried to take as much information as possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Alexander slipped in between the middle of Anna and Brynn and wrapped an arm around both of the now trembling girls. Anna was his younger cousin, so when he hugged her like he did when he was with Brynn, nobody thought anything of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Did Tate come in after me?" Anna asked in a small whimper, using her hand to brush a few locks of her hair from her eyes. Alexander shook his head, as Brynn ran over to the door to see if the brunette was there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Tate was crouching just outside the door, tears streaming down her cheeks and her whole body trembling with sobs. Her hair was a curtain over her face and many officers and other people were pushing her slightly to the side just to get past.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Tate? Are you okay?" Brynn asked in a whisper, sitting down in the groundnut to the brunette and hugging Tate's body close to her. The brunette didn't try and hide how upset we was, looking up at Brynn and shaking her head rapidly. By now Alexander and Anna had come out, joining the two girls on the ground next to them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"I can't believe this," Anna whispered, putting her head in her hands as both Alexander and Tate nodded in agreement.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Brynn was confused. "What happened?" Brynn said whilst furrowing her brow. Although she'd seen the shock of Anna's face and the terror in Alexander's eyes, and of course the tornado of police officers and news reporters going nuts, she didn't know exactly what had happened. Hopefully, Brynn thought, they've made progress in Kendall's murder case, and that the six of them wouldn't have to do any more clue finding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀By now, many of the others were now flooding in from the pool, dripping wet and looking as worried as the three companions that Brynn sat with currently. Lexee, Chloe, Nathan and Maddie came running out of the lift, down next to the rest of them and they all say there, obstructing the path of many people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Does anyone here know what happened? Nobody will tell me," Brynn asked with a pout on her face. Everyone looked at her in shock, including Alexander, Tate and Anna, surprised she hadn't found out what was going on. Had she not heard the news reporters that were going nuts here in the lobby with the new information that they'd received? Was Brynn really confused, or just playing dumb?
⠀⠀⠀⠀"Brynn, they found Liam. He was dead already, an arrow through his back."

⠀⠀⠀⠀and another one bites the dust :))))) anyway, how is everyone? I'm in the full swing of show rehearsals, which is pretty fun but nit fun because I'm sick of half of the cats songs by now. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter <3
