-

Calum messes with the bands that clutter his olive wrist while he sits in the cold metal seat. He did nothing wrong, so why is he being punished for the act of another? I have been framed, he concludes to himself.

Simoné even thinks I did it. His lanky legs are brought up to his chest, his chin resting in between his knees.

He wonders if they suspected him as a killer. The peculiar thought is a likely circumstance for the young lad.

Why not call an alleged thief a murderer? It is easy it seemed, to let the venomous word slip from the lips of the frightened.

Is Calum frightening? Does he scare people? Is Simoné afraid of him? He thinks of himself as a harmless creature.

Would he be capable of such a horrid thing as murdering multiple people?

He licks his lip and contemplates everything. How could he be a killer and not know?

He is known for his blackouts. Calum's eyes widens once the thought reaches his brain. When it goes dark in his mind, anything could happen.

The most infamous of this strange phenomenon occurred when he was at the local pool with his twin sister, Isla. They were only ten, and it was only an accident. It was only a game.

She went under when he blacked out. When he regained the ability to control himself, he realised that she hadn't lifted her head up. It was only the two the pool, so Calum assumed that he had unintentionally drowned his fraternal twin.

No struggle, no screaming. At least he doesn't remember hearing any. Flashbacks of the incidents often come back when it's too late. Now Calum knows he killed his twin.

But it was only an accident.

He stares at the door. It was locked. The lock was to keep him in, and others out. Only one of them, Stephanie, possessed the key. Well to Calum's knowledge only she did.

For all he knew Stephanie, or someone else, could be the killer and just burst through the door at any moment.

Doesn't that sound a bit scary?

-

Ashton wants to scream. At the very top of his lungs. A manly scream at that. The killer could walk through the door at any moment and murder him.

He used to think that when he was going to die, it would be after he did something important. Once he made an impact on the world.

Cure cancer, end world hunger, something major. He thought if he was to be killed, it would be an assassination. Heck, he could've been a president or a leader of a major revolution.

He wanted to mean something to people. Change lives.

But no. He is a nobody. His death would be oblivious to those that haven't witnessed it. That was one of the many things that bothered the boy at this very moment.

He laughs humourlessly while glancing at the taunting door. It was supposed to let people go in and out, but now it only served as a barrier for Ashton.

He can't leave the confines of the space. The walls are spacious, but suffocating all at the same time. He takes an intake of breath and clicks his tongue, the sound echoing off the walls.

He is a prisoner, and his half of the attic is his jail cell. The other half is occupied by Calum.

What did the blonde do to deserve the labelling as a killer?

He has been in this place before. When his beloved girlfriend Laura died, he's one of the main suspects.

Now why would he kill the love of his life? Sure he has not been the most faithful, but is he really a murderer? Capable of receiving pleasure selfishly from killing his unsuspecting victims? Capable of ending lives of the innocent? If he is to be a killer, he would levitate towards the vigilante side.

Sure it would still be murder, but justified.

"All I knew was I didn't kill her. " He mumbles as if anyone is listening to the presumably homicidal maniac talking to himself.

That's probably why he is in here. Because someone told them about Laura and now they all think he's a killer.

He feels like he's insane. Like a mental ward patient. He knows he's not, but feelings and knowledge are two things best kept separate.

Ashton's no saint, but is he a killer?

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE MUHAHA. Any guesses on who the killer is?
