Academy Of Murder

Chapter 7

Alive students: 11

Chiya's P.O.V

Me and Demiyah stared in shock as we kept looking at Hitomi's body which was hung by a rope that was tied up to the ceiling. It was really silent in the room and the only thing we heard were Miyu's heavy sobs outside the classroom.

"I-I don't understand." I heard Demiyah mutter in shock as she took steps back until she bumped against the wall. When I turned around to look at her, my eyes widened even more at Demiyah's face. It was full of shock and despair. Her purple eye on the right side was very wide and her pupil was really small as she hid her other eye with her hand. "W-Why would she do this? Why would she kill herself like that? Did..did we do something wrong? Was it our fault?" She asked as she looked down.

Was it really our fault? I think that it was not our fault. Maybe it was because of Monokuma. It caused us to get stuck and play this horrifying game. Maybe she couldn't take it anymore like when Taro killed Toshiro to get out. But why she really did that, I have to find that out first.

"Demiyah, it wasn't our fault." I said in a gentle tone as I walked closer towards her. Demiyah shook her head and shut her eyes tightly.

"IT IS, CHIYA!" She screamed in anger which shocked me. "I cried at the sleepover because I felt miserable. I might have let her feel the same feeling as I had and now she's dead!" Tears started to form as she held her head with her hands. "She killed herself because of me!"

"THAT'S NOT TRUE, DEMIYAH!" I quickly covered my mouth in shock and surprise when I realized that I screamed to her. I felt...angry after a very long time. And I reacted that anger towards her. I felt guilty, but I did caught her attention as she was staring at me in shock with tears glistering in her eyes.

"M-My apologies, Demiyah. I didn't mean to react like that, but will you please listen to me?" I asked gently as I frowned sadly. Demiyah didn't say anything and she only nodded as she looked down.

"Demiyah, you didn't do anything wrong and I don't think that everyone else did something wrong to her." I said as I walked closer towards her. "And you have any right to feel this way. I felt miserable too after everything that happens, but the truth is that you and everyone didn't do something horrible towards her. Maybe she felt that thanks to Monokuma and she may have felt that maybe before she got there, but she didn't show that because she doesn't want to make us sad."

I stood in front of and I put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "What the important thing is that you didn't do this to her. The only person who is here to blame is Monokuma, not you or everyone else." I said as I looked at her seriously.

Her eyes widened as she looked at me. It went silent for a minute and I didn't hear any sobs from Miyu. Demiyah then nodded as she looked seriously to me and wiped the tears which she held back. "You're right. I'm sorry, Chiya-chan." She said while wiping her tears.

I smiled sadly when she apologized, still guilty from the sudden outburst. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't scream to you like that." I said as I played with my curl.

Suddenly I noticed something glowing behind me. The television above the schoolboard has been turned on. We both looked at the screen as Monokuma showed up sitting on a chair with a blanket around its small body and a mug of coffee in its hand with says 'The most evil principal in the world'. Behind it were a microphone and very small tv's with images of various rooms, including my dorm, Hitomi's dorm where the other girls minus Tetsu and Miwa were still sleeping and the classroom.

It took a sip from its coffee, yawned, grabbed the mic and put it close to its scary creepy mouth. "Good morning students!" It spoke in a cheerful yet tired tone through the tv and the speakers around the building. "It is 5.30 am. I want to let you guys sleep a little longer, but...upupupu.."
