Why Can't I Live In a Quiet Peaceful Life?!

Episode 20: The Traitor's Mistake

Adrian yelled in agony as the stick was stabbed into Adrian's back. She then grabbed rocks to crush Adrian's hands, preventing him from using any radio.

"Adrian Stolfo," smiled Yuri, "Did you seriously think you could become the hero and save Yuri and Val's life or something? You couldn't even last a few seconds against me. Now, you're just some pathetic kid bleeding on the ground, possibly going to end up in the same fate as Val and Yuri did. The best part is that you don't even know who murdered you all!"

Adrian smiled, "But that's just what you think,

Yuri."

"What the hell kind of answer is that?" laughed Yuri, who was internally panicking, "Like I said, I killed both Val and Yuri!"

Adrian began to explain:

"All this time during the first semester of school, you've made yourself open to many mistakes. Some that even I knew you all had supernatural powers. The only thing I was skeptical of was if Val had superpowers or not, but I think she's wrapped up in this just like I was. From the beginning, I wanted to know everything about everyone, and get to be friends. My curiosity and investigation led me to some dark secrets.

First and foremost, I've concluded that Robert, Carly, Val, and I don't have these supernatural abilities you guys do. I've observed them so much and they don't see, to have any. Second, I've found out all about you guys and your powers just by eavesdropping on Val's actions. I haven't only been investigating on Val, but Yuri Godrasil as well.

Don't you think it's funny? Val has been investigating them. You investigated Val. I investigated you?"

"But you haven't concluded that I am Yuri Godrasil," said Yuri in panic.

"There's two important things I would like to note. First, Brian Silkbrood has the ability to control the minds of other people. I noticed this when I followed Val and found her fighting with him near the schoolyard. Brian cleverly displayed his powers to Atticus. With that noted, I'd like to take you back to the Winter Festival. Around the time we were all leaving to go home, Brian handed you his knight costume. When you went to put it away, I noticed that you transformed into Brian, as if you were testing out your capabilities.

I've concluded that you can transform into people upon contact. This goes back to the present, on our camping trip. You proposed to go with Val to look for sticks so that you can kill her and take her body to transform with, without anyone noticing."

"That's impossible!" yelled Yuri, "How are you able to deduct all of that from simple observations!"

"I guess you can say it's luck, but all of it was purely guesswork. I just had to go with my gut and trust in what I thought."

Out of anger, Yuri began stabbing Adrian with the stick again and again. She was blinded by rage until Adrian ate some dirt from the ground. Yuri was confused on what he was doing. After chewing for a bit, he spat the dirt onto Yuri's shoes.

"Your poor shoes," smiled Adrian, with dirty teeth, "I seem to have scuffed them. You see, without any weapon, I can still manage to disrespect you."

Yuri stomped on Adrian's face, making sure to wipe the dirt from the bottom of her shoe onto him.

"If you like dirty shoes that much, why don't I give you some more?" laughed Yuri.

Adrian was quickly growing unconscious, but he needed to find a plan. He needed to contact the others so that they could defeat Yuri. He barely even had any energy to roll over.

"Why don't you give me a massage with your feet while you're at it," said Adrian softly, growing even more unconscious.

Yuri began stomping on Adrian, hoping that he would get knocked out of commission. After a few minutes of stomping, Adrian was already knocked out. His injuries were very severe.

"First Val," panted Yuri, "Now Adrian? What the hell? Why are all of these people investigating everything? How curious can they be? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You've still got this. No need to panic. He won't kill you if you just get the results. The method on how to do so never matters. All that matters is the results! I've already eliminated both Adrian and Val.

I hate to kill people, but if they bleed out, it's technically not my fault. It's their own fault for losing blood!"

Suddenly, Yuri began to hear footsteps. Her eyes widened. There was no way! How did they find her? It was Jak and Neos! For some reason they had come to investigate!

Jak looked at his radio that was beeping, "Carly had told us to check for the beeping around this location. Adrian must've pressed the emergency button for the radio."

"Is it really working?" asked Neos, "Is this even where we're supposed to be?"

How was this happening? Yuri made sure to break Adrian's hands so that he can't press the button for his radio! Finally, Yuri noticed what had happened. She had noticed her mistake. After Adrian taunted her with all of his talks, Yuri began stomping him with her foot out of rage. She must've stomped on the radio in his back pocket, pressing the button to alert the others.

"It was only a small chance, and I didn't think it would work," whispered Adrian softly as he smiled, "But it seems like my luck has succeeded. I managed to call for help.."

He finally shut his eyes, on the brink of death.

"Hey look!" yelled Jak, "It's Val!"

"Hey," noticed Neos, "Why is Adrian on the floor?"

This was bad. Yuri had to think of something quick before her secret was to be revealed!
