Tormented Fun

Chapter 6

Once again, called to the meeting room in order to decide, who is a murderer?

Skeleton welcomed us all, "Good luck, kids. You may begin."

"It was Flynn. His name was written in her blood," Axel proclaimed, pointing his finger at Flynn.

My friend took the accusation, "Think what you want. I could never kill Angela."

"Wait," I said, "If Angela had written the name of her killer, wouldn't it have been turned one-hundred eighty degrees, going off the angle she would have written it at."

"I agree with Sage," Scisco said, "Flynn is innocent."

Axel was shocked. He hadn't expected us to shoot down his accusation apparently. His face was utter confusion, and surprise that we also had evidence to back up the innocence.

"I would also say we can rule out the girls, there is no way any of us would have the strength to pull her up the ladder."

She had a very good point. So that left Cooper, Pierre, Axel, Pierce, Wyatt, and Zayn.

"What happens if two people work together on a murder?" I asked the Skeleton.

He thought about it, "I would have to say that only the one who actually killed the person would be the only one to go free."

"Thank you."

He nodded, his dead smile still kind of freaked me out.

"Cooper, and Pierre, you share a room correct?" Scisco asked the two, twins?

"Yeah we do," Cooper said. Pierre nodded along.

"We were both in our room by 11," Pierre said.

"How can we trust you two? Maybe you're lying to cover each other's skin," Axel accused.

"Why would they have any reason to lie? Two in a crime is pointless," Jaxton said.

Flynn was staring at the floor. Not engaging in the discussion at all. Normally, he would try and help a little bit. Angela's death, was a loss for the majority of us.

"Hey, I saw them entering their room. It was later than 11 though, closer to 12," Stella spoke up, protecting them, "I had just come down from playing my guitar."

Wyatt spoke, again, it was weird, "The twins are clean. Flynn is clean. That leaves me, Zayn, Axel, and Pierce, correct?"

Scisco nodded, "Yes, that is right."

Wyatt put his elbows on his knees, he was thinking about something.

"I would kind of doubt that Zayn did it, did you see his reaction when he saw her?" Alexi said. Petting her cat that was curled up in her lap.

Once again, Scisco nodded, "You are right. That leaves Pierce, and Axel."

"Wait, what about Wyatt?" Pierre asked.

"I have a feeling he didn't do it," was Scisco's response. What a great reason.

"Pierce, you are good with chemicals, correct?" I asked him. We were friends, but double checking is a good thing.

"Yes, I am. I was hanging out with Flynn. We were in the science lab. I was teaching him a bit," Pierce responded, he was with our friend group, but he hadn't interacted much with Angela.

Scisco placed a hand on her chin, "Flynn?"

He simply nodded. I noticed tears were falling from his eyes. He really wasn't taking this well.

"Axel?" Alexi said.

He looked around, "Do you really think I?"

I thought about it, "You instantly accused Flynn. Trying to remove some of the blame from yourself?"

He viciously shook his head, "I thought it was solid evidence."

"You...killed....her?" Zayn said. Not his normal voice. It was, huskier.

Axel looked scared, "I didn't!"

Scisco spoke with precision, "Where were you the night of her death?"

His eyes wide with fear, "I had been in the game room listening to Stella, after she left I had chilled for a bit."

"Do you have proof?"

"There probably wasn't anyone else in the room," Cooper said. He was sure that it was Axel, as was I.

"Stella?" Axel said.

"I remember seeing you in there, but you left when I did," she replied.

"You lied about staying in the game room," Alexi accused.

"No, I didn't do it!" Axel was flustered.

"May we vote now?" Scisco had asked the Skeleton.

"Yes you may!" He said, "Everyone, cast your votes. I think we all know who will be dying this rounds."

After the vote, Skeleton grabbed Axel by the back of shirt, dragging him onstage as the curtain opened.

Onstage was a motorcycle. Axel got tied to it. Across the stage was a wall, covered in spikes. Skeleton started the bike's engine, then set it off towards the wall, the bike hit a bump right before running into the wall, causing the bike to turn, impaling Axel on the spikes.

"Well, that's that," Skeleton said, "Everyone, go have a bit of fun."

Cause it was totally possible to have fun after watching a person get murdered.
