Whodunnit: A Dance Moms Fanfic

Chapter 2

Payton’s POV

In the bottom of the chimney, laid the body of our old dance teacher, still and lifeless. How she had fit down that chimney, I had no clue. I never liked her that much anyway. I looked around the room, searching for clues of how someone could have gotten her up there. In fact, I didn’t even realize she was here in the first place. And I was the first one here. Why was she here, and more important, why was she dead?

Brooke’s POV

I turned my head as I heard someone in the doorway.

“Hello, fellow prisoners.” the man said.

Ugh it was the creepy dude that opened the door for us when we got here. He looked tired and like he wanted to be somewhere else. Then again so did I considering SOMEONE JUST DIED just pointing that out.

Wait. Had he just called us his fellow prisoners? What the heck was that supposed to mean?

Mackenzie and Paige were in the corner crying and Chloe was trying to comfort them, but she looked like she was going to burst into tears any second. Nia had offered to get drinks for everyone and Maddie and Kendall had offered to go with. They all looked pretty spooked but seemed to be holding it together pretty well. Payton was standing next to me, I think she was sizing up this guy, seeing if we would be able to outrun him if he turned out to be trouble.

My guess was yes. He seemed to be about in his fifties, but he was in pretty good shape. Still we had a lot of dance conditioning and we probably all could have run at least 5 miles easily back in our prime days. I’m pretty sure we all still could. All of us were in our 20’s, and we still looked like we were in pretty good shape.

“Ahem.” The man cleared his throat. “As you can see, one of our own has been, done away with. You see, it just so happens that you have not just been brought together here to socialize with all of your friends.”

Just then Maddie, Nia and Kendall came back carrying water bottles for everyone.

“You should have seen the kitchen!” Kendall said with a smile, not noticing our speaker.

Maddie shushed her and started passing around the waters while our friend continued this speech.

“You have been brought here by your killer” he said solemnly
