The Bandori Murders

Chapter 11

Now that everyone had finally escaped, they still needed a way to get back into town. There seemed to be no vehicles other than the one that crushed Misaki, and no one wanted to get in that. Other than that, no one knew how to drive. Everyone would either have to walk or sit in the cold air or die from the murderer, who still cannot be found.

"We can't go yet," Ran said with confidence in her voice, "We have to kill the murderer."

Despite witnessing the gruesome murders of their friends, everyone seemed to agree.

Everyone began to discuss evidence they had found before upstairs.

Despite Kasumi and Saya not finding anything of importance, Eve and the now deceased Maya had found lots of evidence. The group looked it over and made some guesses. 

"Well, it could actually be Akari. No one else died from the house's traps after she commited suicide." Saya said.

"Possibly, but, it could be someone else we never thought of." Hina added.

"Bullcrap," Ran said, "This isn't a cliche mystery movie," Ran said.

Hina and Ran started to get in a huge debate to see who the murderer was. Eve tried to step in at one point to break it up, but It hadn't worked.

"No wonder your band and onee-chan's band were rivals, you don't allow ideas, and are too afraid to say anything when the ideas go wrong!" Hina yelled.

Ran was furious. She wanted to kill Hina right on the spot, even though she would have to die too. She ran up to Hina, ready to strike. However, Kasumi got everyone's attention.

In the distance, There was a tall girl with long, burgundy hair was leaning on a smaller girl with violet hair tied up into neat pigtails.

As they got closer, everyone began to realize that these strange figures were Ako and Tomoe Udagawa, and Tomoe's left upper arm was bleeding.

"Tomoe! Ako! Over here!" Saya called.

Ako ran over to everyone, making sure that Tomoe was following her. Ako was crying before, but now she had this wide grin of relief.

"W-What are you doing here!" Tomoe stuttered.

"We came for a dinner," Ran explained, "A hellish one."

"Well, you all need to come with us, unless you want to be killed here too." Tomoe said.

"Wait..." Kasumi interrupted, "How did you know that people invited to that dinner were murdered?"

"We were on our way to this party, and we saw Misaki's corpse. Now, come with us, we need to get out of here." Tomoe said.

The gate opened with a creak, and out stepped a girl with long, silver hair tied up into a messy braid. She had blood all over herself, and had tangerine eyes.

"So, yOU fiGUred IT ouT?"
