Deadly Illusion

Ch.7 :Game 4: Day 4

Waking up from that strange dream, I could only imagine who would be dead now. Someone is taking a shower. Laura walks out of her room at the same time I do.

"Hey", I said.

" Hey."

"You Ok?"

"Yeah." 

" When this is all over, I really want get to know you more." She started to blush.

" That sounds great, just don't be a hoe between now and then."

" You are so fUnNY."

 We headed downstairs where AJ and Alicia were drinking coffee. "Hey, Alicia, have you seen Raven?"

" Yeah, she was up there when I left. You, Brelyn, and her were sleeping."

"She wasn't in room, bathroom?"

Brelyn comes downstairs and she is confused, this can't be any good.

" Where's Raven?" she asked. 

"She wasn't in the bathroom?"

" No I was, I was taking a shower, I went in the room and everyone was missing so I thought she might have been down here."

" Ummmm, no. She is not down here."

AJ stood and began going upstairs." Maybe she is talking to Nathan in my room." 

We walked upstairs to AJ's rooms where  a precognition of what's to come is in a room. We opened the door and dismay we were. Nathan and Raven bodies were found on the floor. Both had a sliced throat and died from possible blood lost. 

DEATH FOUND: 9: 59 a.m.

Death after death, the fourth day and yet another where I have lost friends. And the scary thing about this is that it happen while we were awake!

Robert sighed and get the bodies. He reaches in Nathan's pocket and pulls out a knife. " A knife?" Maybe it was used for self defense or murder?

[ As Mikayla, Chapman, and Keaundre woke up , they are told the news who dear Nathan's and Raven's death. Keaundre begins crying, the saddness in the house thicken. Hope for anyone living is out the window. Everyday someone is dying, who is next? We take the story to Laura.]

Laura was talking to Alicia about the deaths and Aural.

" I think Mikayla and Brelyn are the murderers. Brelyn could have murder them while we were downstairs. Same with Mikayla. We don't know where she was all morning besides her "room"." 

" I think we shouldn't place blame so fast and hasty Alicia. I get that you are scared and confused, but placing blame on someone can be dangerous."

" I know but Laura, we still haven't stopped these murders, a murder that happened while we were awake..." Laura was touched by what Alicia said, a murder case so opened, that it could happen during the daytime meaning any type of murder is possible. 

Alicia got up and went to the den where everyone was hanging out at. She grabbed Mikayla by her shirt and threw her down. 

[We are now on the perspective of Assante once again.]

" You bitch! You are a murderer!" Alicia exclaimed. 

" Alicia, what the fuck are you talking about!?"

" Where were you during the murder of today?"

" In my room, sleeping remember!?"

" Bullshit! You killed Nathan and Raven after we all left! YOU MURDERER!"

" I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" Mikayla started to have a mental breakdown.

" Aural DID IT! SHE EXIST!!!," Keaundre shouted. 

" Maybe she does exist..."

" Shut up about the Aural bullshit! She doesn't exist!" Alicia slaps Mikayla while she was on the ground. " Stop fucking lying."

" Well...maybe she is telling the truth...," Robert said. " Just think about everything that has happened, starting from the letter to Nathan's and Raven's deaths."

" Robert no please, not you," I said. " It doesn't have to be this way, Aural doesn't exist."

" Then explain these deaths, she is haunting us while we are unaware of it."

" I don't know but Aural definitely did not do this. What about that epitaph though?" Chapman asked. 

"  The epitaph, the one with that cipher on it?"

" Yeah maybe if we tried to solve it, we might be able to figure out what is going on." Chapman ran to the epitaph where the cipher  lied. " If I can figure this out, then we will be closer to the truth of this mansion." Keaundre joins him and looks at the picture of Aural. 

" I don't believe in that bullshit, and I will never believe in that bullshit!" Alicia sat down and crossed her arms with wrath. This is getting ridiculous, Alicia attacking people, people blaming the same people consistently, and yelling with anger. I kind of hope some of these people will die next to be honest.

The house is divided now, between Me, Brelyn, AJ, Laura, and Alicia who do not believe Aural and those who do which include Robert, Keaundre, Chapman( Honestly I don't really know), and Mikayla. I think it's ridiculous that such a myth could result in this. 

As we continued to go through our day, I sat down to talk with Laura.

Laura made us coffee to ease our nerves and got close to me, ironically. 

" Assante, I think it was a bad idea to have the entire group talk about the murders."

"Why do you say that?"

" The killer could have known more information than is needed and throw us off." The killer could have thrown us off? Yeah, I get what she is saying and at this point, it is so hard to know who is the killer within this mansion. What do we do? How could we dicuss these murders?

"I think the best opinion is to keep to ourselves, I don't know who  to trust but I trust you Assnate. I don't think you murdered Abbey, you are innocent." I'm so glad there is someone in this house I can trust. I feel like there was an aura around me that caused people to avoid me at all cost.

" Thanks Laura, I trust you and AJ. AJ is too religious to be a killer."

" Yeah, you are right about that. It just sucks that Raven's life is..." She begans to slightly cry. " It's not fair that we are suck in this situation."

" I know but we have to wait to the storm goes over before we can get help. I'm surprise we didn't know about this storm prior to us coming here."

" Same, it just came out of no where. Also, what happened to our phones?"

" I don't know. I don't what happened to our phones but I do think someone was trying to trick us."

" What do you mean?" I think I know how our phones were fried, water-damaged?

" What if someone knew about Abbey's plan, so they took our phones and I don't know, damaged it with water or something? And then placed them back after the damage was done." It made since though, then...

" Then after such, they must have cause a power out from the power surge? That's why it was so easy to for Chapman to power the generator, the electricity was overloaded by something in this house."

" As possible as that seems Assante, that would require multiple people-"

" Alibi's exist within this house. That is the only." Now I starting to doubt one of us are the killers and that a secret person is among us. An extra person we haven't seen yet. Aural, is she the extra person? No, not as a ghost, but as a person?
