I woke up in what appeared to be a closet. Where were we anyways? An abandond house? Someone else I don't know was knocked out in the closet.
"Hey, wake up!" I shook them.
He woke up.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I'm Annie. What about you?"
"The name's Omar." He told me.
"We better get out and see who else is here." I told Omar.
I opened the closet door, finding familiar and unfamiliar faces.
"Annie!" Lara wrapped her arms around me. I could feel myself blushing. What was this feeling? Am I in love with Lara?
Welcome to Flicker. You all decide to converse.
"Um, mysterious host dude? You don't control our actions." Jo spoke.
Shush. Now speak to eachother.
"And what if I don't?" Jo grunted.
The ground shook, knocking us down to the floor.
How about now?
"Okay, okay, fine!" Jo sighed.
"Well than...." A Blonde haired Boy spoke. Beside him was a Blonde haired girl.
"Im Jean-Claude. This is Charlotte!" Jean pointed to the Girl beside him.
Charlotte waved nervously.
"I'm Vinny!" A familiar voice spoke.
I suddenly heard a lot of introducing like:
"I'm Colleen!" I have never met Colleen.
"I'm Trey!" Of course I remember him!
"I'm Mason!"
"I'm Jordan!"
"I'm John!"
"I'm Mateo!"
"I'm Alicia!"
"I'm Jackson!"
"I'm Odette!"
"I'm Elaina!"
"I'm Carlos!"
"I'm Veronica!"
"I'm-" A fish-like creature was interrupted by the voice.
What you all do not know...is that there is a murderer among you all.
"WHAT??" Alicia spoke up.
"I was never told about this!" Mason shouted.
"I don't wanna die!!!" Mateo complained.
I think I remember this part...theres a murderer.
You all must uncover the mystery...and reveal the identity of the murderer.
"Why are we the chosen ones??" John shouted.
The murderer wishes you good luck.
"Annie!" I heard a familiar voice. It was Indah!
"What the hell is happening? I am legit freaking out!" She told me.
"I think I know about this 'game,' theres basiclly a murderer among us all." I replied.
It's 2am, The lights flicker out and you all scurry in panic.
It's time for the murderer
TO
PLAY.....
Annie, who's role do you wish to reveal!
I thought, who could possibly be suspicious! I know it can't possibly be Indah, shes innocent and friendly!
I choose to reveal the role of Vinny.
Vinny is......
NOT MURDERER.
Vinny is Survivor.
I suddenly hear a high pitched scream.
The power generator turns back on.
Lara was squeezing me tight, she seemed terrified! I decided to hug her back.
John runs out of the bedroom. He seemed so terrified. Why though? I suddenly remembered..someone dies each night.
"Come quick! I found Colleen....shes dead!" John shouted.
The murderer has killed COLLEEN. The dead houseguest has been killed in their sleep.
There we're so much "AHH!"s and "OMG"s. What type of cruel murderer would kill someone as innocent as Colleen?
She seemed nice. I already hate this game.
"What do we do now???" Elaina seemed worried.
"Stop overreacting, Elaina! It's probably you!!" Carlos spoke.
"So if I get worried, it's like 'oMG sHeS mUrdErEr' Nuh-uh, sir. Think again." Elaina explained.
"Carlos...she has a point." Odette reminded him.
Carlos huffed.
We all decide to seperate into 2 groups. One group would go to the dining table, and another would go to the living room.
GROUP 1: Me, Odette, Lara, Trey, Carlos, Mason, John, Jo, Indah, Omar, Veronica, and Vinny.
GROUP 2: Alicia, Mateo, Chlorine, Jackson, Elaina, Jordan, Jean-Claude, and Charlotte.
My group met up at the living room, some decided to sit on the floor while some sat on the couch. What do we do now? I guess we talk about who to accuse.
"Not gonna lie.." Indah spoke. "Vinny is kind of suspicious."
"But John was in the bedroom last night!" Omar pointed to John.
"So was Vinny! What were they doing though?" Indah asked. (*insert lenny face here*)
"I say they could have been partners in crime, they might have killed Colleen!" Carlos spoke up.
"It isn't neither of us!!" Vinny complained.
I knew it wouldn't be Vinny, but John does seem suspicious. I mean, he was the only one to know Colleen was dead.
I didn't wanna do this to my older cousin, but I just hope he's safe if he gets voted.
The investigator believes that...
THE
MURDERER
IS
LARA.
We we're all left with suprised faces, how can Lara be framed for all of this? Finally, I decided to speak up.
"Lara was with me the whole time last night, it couldn't possibly be her!"
"How do you know that??" Veronica asked me. "She could be faking it!"
I was fed up. I know it can't be Lara. Me and her were with eachother when the death scene happened!
"I'm sorry, Veronica, but it is not her." I reminded her.
Veronica grumbled.
Both groups decided to meet up in the kitchen. It was time to vote who we thought it was.
It is time to vote. Cast your vote.
Annie, who would you like to vote?
This was a tough decision to make. but I chose John.
The votes have been casted. The player with the most votes is...
JOHN.
We all turned over to John, was it really him?
"How could you guys???" He shouted. "I'm innocent!"
This is...
INCORRECT.
I was crying, what mistake have I made? I hug John, he hugs me back.
John has been removed from the game.
"Excuse me, mysterious person, but what happens when guests are voted out?" Alicia asked.
Good question! Well according to the rules....
THEY
ARE
EXECUTED.
I couldn't hold back the tears. Executed? My cousin was getting Executed! I wanna go home. I can't stand this anymore.
Indah put her arm on my shoulder to comfort me.
"It's alright, he's in a better place now." She softly spoke.
It is not alright. I lost another family member, why am I stuck with all the bad luck? What did I ever do?
Authors note:
Hiya! I hope you enjoyed this chapter?
Do you feel bad Annie lost her cousin?
Who do you find suspicous? I want to know in the comments!
