Murder at Pinewood Manor || Kpop FF

°•°•13•°•°

Taeyang's POV
Jiyong and I had been hiding in the dining hall under one of the tables. It was quite an obvious hiding spot and we literally shat ourselves when the murder came in the room. Luckily he didn't notice us and went away. But the traumatizing screams of our teammates will forever haunt us. Needless to say, if I make it out of here I will never be going to any manor in any woods again.

Since the two of us were scared we would be noticed in our dead giveaway hiding spot we decided to change rooms. However, we had to plan cautiously.

Jiyong- "I think we should go to one of the rooms he's been to already. He won't come back I don't think. I know he went to the bathroom. We should go there. Maybe we'll see some of our friends!"

Me- "Good idea! I'll go check if the coast is clear."

Jiyong- "Alright. Be careful Tae."

I got up from under the table and crept silently to the door. It was open wide enough for me to slide myself out of it. I checked both hallways and the were clear. I quietly returned back to the dining room. I motioned for Jiyong to come with me.

He stood up from under the table and came to stand by me. We slipped out of the door and carefully tiptoed down the hallway leading to the bathroom. We suddenly heard a noise behind us and swiftly turned around. There seemed to be a person standing at the end of the hallway. I pulled Jiyong behind one of the pillars and watched as the person walked slowly in our direction. They took large strides but we're silent. I was positive it was the murder. However as they neared I managed to make out they were very short. About 5'4".

Me- "Greenwich?"

I called out his name softly. He snapped his head in our direction and began to walk towards us.

???- "Taeyang? Is that you?"

I stayed silent. Greenwich hadn't been present in any of the murders. It could easily be him. But that's when I spotted him. The glint of a knife in the moonlight caught my attention and I swiftly but quietly grabbed Greenwich's hand. I dragged him behind the pillar.

A penguin mask came into view down the hallway. However, it turned and walked the other direction to my relief.

Me- "Guys, give me your phone's."

Jiyong- "What? Why? We may need them."

Me- "Just give them here."

Jiyong- "Ugh fine. If I have to."

Both men handed me their phones. I pulled mine out and layed the three of them on the ground.

Me- "That's how he's been tracking us. Isn't it obvious? He knows our exact movement and he can't of used cameras because of the sheer size of this manor. The footage would have to have it's own room. And he's constantly walking around."

Greenwich- "That actually makes a lot of sense."

Me- "C'mon, let's go to the bathroom."

I silently led the two men to the bathroom and we entered. The sight I saw made my eyes start to water. Jinyoung was dead, Jin was unconscious and Jaebum was surround by blood, crying. I rushed over to him and gave him a hug.

Me- "Jaebummie? Look at me. Your ok. Well be ok. I promise. Just please, stay strong for Jinyoung."

His breathing was shaky and he paused before answering.

JB- "O-okay."

I wrapped him in a hug and soon felt two other pairs of arms wrap around us both. After a few seconds, we broke up the hug and sat on the floor. There were some questions I had though.

Me- "Greenwich, how old are you?"

Greenwich- "32. I know I seem older."

I was shocked. He looked about 50.

Greenwich- "I guess I should tell you my story and how I ended up here."

The three of us nodded, agreeing with him.

Greenwich- "I've been working here for the last 5 years. I've actually been close friends with Richard since we were children so when he told me about the job here I decided I would try it out. He was already working here. Everything went smoothly which is why I'm still here."

Me- "Do have any idea of who the killer is?"

Greenwich- "Kind of. It's obviously someone tall and who has lots of time on their hands. We have a few suspects, right?"

JB- "Yeah. Mervyn, Edward the 3rd and Richard. But it could be some of the other servants."

Greenwich- "It can't have been Richard. He's not that tall and is constantly busy in the kitchens. He wouldn't have enough practise time to get that good with a kinfe. Mervyn is about 5'8", so again, not super tall. The murderer is atleast 6'5". The only two I know to be about that height are Edward the 3rd and one of the other butlers. His name is Greggory. But he's been off on holiday for the past 2 weeks."

Jiyong- "But maybe he wasn't actually on holiday. Maybe he was training for this. It would make more sense."

Greenwich- "That's true. I guess we have found our murderer."

We all let the information sink in. It was still possible that it could be Edward the 3rd but Greggory made more sense.

A sudden knocking on the door made us all jump. It slowly opened and there stood a nearly unconscious Lisa.

Jiyong- "Lisa!"

He got up and gave her a hug. There were tears in her eyes and I noticed the blood stains on her t-shirt. Jiyong brought Lisa to us and the two of them sat down.

Me- "What happened? Is anyone else alive?"

Lisa- "I was with Jungkook and Namjoon in the living room. We were hiding behind one of the sofas. The murderer killed Namjoon and Jungkook. I was unconscious but I woke up so I've been looking for people."

Tears pricked at my eyes as I silently prayed for Namjoon and Jungkook to still be alive.

Greenwich- "I think we should go from here. We need to find a better hiding spot."

Me- "Good idea. I'll check for the murderer."

I slowly opened the bathroom door and peeked outside. Nothing. I motioned for the other to join me and we stepped outside. We crept silently through the house following Greenwich. A sudden clatter of metal caught our attention and we swung around. The killer in the penguin mask was standing there, holding 3 knives. One knife was on the floor.

Voice- "Well well well. I though I killed you two."

The murderer pointed two knives at Jaebum and Lisa.

Voice- "Looks like I'll have to do my job properly."

He quickly threw a knife at Jiyong and it hit him in his stomach. He doubled over and fell to the ground. Another knife was thrown at Greenwich and hit him in the head. Meanwhile JB had taken off running with Lisa. This left only me.

Me- "Shit."

I mumbled silently under breath. I saw the knife being thrown and everything was like it was in slow motion. It hit me square in the chest and I collapsed.
