the disney murders | completed

seven.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀After a few hours Lexee and Brynn came skipping up carrying boxes of Burger King that they'd bought from a nearby restrauant. Both of them sat down onto the carpet and looked up at Chloe and Nathan, the latter of which was still being consoled by the former.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"We got you guys some food," Brynn whispered rather timidly, passing Chloe a cheeseburger, the smallest size that you could get, and Nathan a large chips. Both muttered a small token of thanks, but nothing to extravagant.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"I got the biggest burger that I could," Lexee declared in the proudest of tones and she smiled widely at her friends as she took a large bite of her expensive burger. Chloe opened her mouth to answer but the door was thrown open before she could do anything. Eva, a pretty girl with bright eyes and a large smile, came running in and she threw her slim body onto the floor next to Lexee and Brynn.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Who is it then?" Eva said loudly, her eyes wide and her smile, which Chloe suddenly realised, looked somewhat fake. There was something behind those eyes and Chloe noted to find out what it was.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"We don't know. Yet,"Lexee added after noticing the worried look on Eva's face, mixed in with the smallest hint of pain.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Eva, are you okay?" Brynn asked, running a hand through her blonde locks and taking a bite of a chip. She had only taken a small chips since the blonde wasn't the largest fan of the fast food chain and not a lover of burgers in the first place.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yeah," the dancer muttered, although it was blatant that she was lying. Chloe narrowed her eyebrows at Eva, who seemed to squirm under all of their worried glares, and took a small bite of her burger. Like Brynn, she didn't love Burger King that much but she didn't mind their plain burgers. No salad.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Where's Alexander?" Nathan, who'd been rather quiet after his confession to Chloe earlier, said with his brow creased. Even as he spoke, Eva was still shuddering slightly and Chloe saw that she was holding her forearm tightly, as if she was in pain.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Sugar, I left him in the restaurant," Brynn said and her eyes immediately begun to fill with tears of worry, panic and fear as she quickly fired off a text to her boyfriend, scared that he might not be alive to get it.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"So you haven't worked it out yet. Did you get the connection about the movies?" Eva said as she ran her hand across her ballet bun, pushing one grip further into her head as she waited for them or reply.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yes, everyone died in connection with their favourite Disney film," Lexee replied with a bittersweet tone, her hand unconsciously twisting her hair as she lay on her stomach and looked towards Eva, who was still holding her arm in pain. She opened her mouth to make a comment about it, but then stopped herself, not wanting to pry.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"And the connection with the names?" Eva said, her eyes wide as all four of the others looked confused. "You didn't get the clue with the names. Think about it. Kendall, Liam, Maddie."

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Even after she'd repeated the names through a few times, the four clue frackers still looked confused. Eva mentally face palmed as they all sat blankly, thinking for a few seconds.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Couldn't that just be a coincidence?" Nathan pointed out after a few minutes of deep silence. Eva shrugged, but her expression showed that she didn't believe that it could just be a coincidence.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"What is it?" Brynn asked, running her hand through her blonde hair as she looked worriedly towards her phone, which still hadn't gotten a reply.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"The last letter corresponds with the first letter of the next murderee," Nathan and Eva spoke in unison, as if they'd rehearsed this many a time to get it word perfect. Chloe bit down on her lip as she watched the paid exchange a glance, both filled with tears.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"So E is next. Either you, or Emmy," Lexee whispered, referring to Emmy Cheung, a small but fiery girl who always had a big smile on her face.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀As her best friend spoke Chloe noticed something shift in Eva's face, and the,girls smile automatically disappeared. She also noticed that the dancer's grip on her arm tightened and that her hand looked ever so slightly tinged blue.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"What's your favourite Disney film?" Brynn asked quickly, simultaneously as her phone changed with a message from Alexander saying he was just in the elevator, coming back up to the hotel room.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ "The princess and the frog. It's amazing. When I first saw it, I was captivated. I squeal every time I see the opening credits." Eva moved her hand away from where it had been gripping her arm and her sleeve fell down to reveal what was causing her so much pain.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀There was a large boil, if that was what you could call it, with a small puncture bite in the centre. Electric blue veins stood out on her skin, which was tinged blue up until the edge of the boil, where it went almost black.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Holy mother of Pooh Bear," Chloe muttered as Lexee covered her mouth to stop disgusted vomit from raining out and both Nathan and Brynn shielded their eyes.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Eva's eyes closed just then and her body fell backwards as she started shaking, like she was having some kind of seizure, causing Brynn to scream and cuttle backwards. The vomit that Lexee had been holding back came flying out, all over the floor and tears flew down Chloe's cheeks as she buried her face in Nathan's shoulder, the only one who seemed somewhat calm in the situation.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀The door flew open again and Alexander walked in, at the exact time as Eva took her last breath and her body, now fully blue, collapsed onto the ground and the room was filled with an awkward silence.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"What the hell happened in here?" Alexander muttered as he looked upon the catastrophic scene. "Can leave you lot alone for five minutes can I."

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm sure everyone can relate to Lexee getting the largest burger because fooooooooood.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm now back from my school trip, which went fudging amazing and then my dance exams when bad (shoe elastic broke halfway through so then I messed up) but it could've gone worse. I've moved up a year in school and my school show rehearsals plus dance will now be taking up my Monday nights, but my mind is buzzing with ideas.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Look out for a new story coming up soon.
