Night

Chapter Thirty Three

︎☀︎︎ Alessia's Prescriptive...

Seriously, what was her problem? Who told Snow she could storm into my room screaming how I was the murderer when I was just plotting the next person's death?

Guess I'll have to postpone Maya's death and kill her first instead. Luckily, night was falling and I'd be able to murder that little brat soon.

Then I'll pretend Snow was the murderer and I'll take Maya outside pretending we're 'escaping' and murder her there. This was too easy..

"Alessia, it's time to eat!", Maya exclaimed, suddenly. I realized she was standing at the doorway with Snow, who was standing there glaring and crossed arm at me again.

"Oh, uh, give me a second", I replied, trying to smile. Maya nodded and closed the doorway. I sighed and dropped the Book of Death on the upper bunk where I slept to look at later. Then, I went out of the room, closing the door behind me, and went down to the kitchen again.

I wonder if Snow had told Maya already. If so, I'd kill them both at the same damn time, then. Nobody ever said I could only kill one.. Hah.

I glanced up and noticed how the walls were a creamy brown, which reminded me of a memory.. Once my mother took Maya and I to an amusement park, where we had this drink that was, too, a creamy brown.

I guess I was going to have to find a new best friend after Maya's death. Then, I caught a spicy smell and looked up. I saw the kitchen, where Snow and Maya were standing and walked in.

"Oh, hi guys", I added. Maya nodded while Snow ignored me.

"Hi, Alessia, here's yours", Maya replied with excitement. She handed me a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

"Oh, thanks", I answered, a bit shocked. Then, I realized that Maya made it because of BTS' song, chicken noodle soup and she never got to see their concert..

"I have something to say", Snow mumbled, after a moment.

"Yeah?", answered Maya, looking towards Snow.

"Apple is dead", Snow sighed

"How — I-", Maya replied, shocked, she put her bowl down but tears started falling.

"No, no, Maya, don't cry", Snow exclaimed, putting her bowl down, too, and hugging Maya.

"I let somebody die again!" Maya shrieked.

"No, you didn't, Maya!", Snow replied, trying to reassure Maya.

"She's right, Maya, don't cry, it wasn't your fault", I added, putting my bowl down and hugging Maya too.

"You guys just don't get it!", Maya exclaimed.

"No, Maya, I do, it's not your fault, she was just lying in bed, and it'd be the murderer to blame", Snow said. I sucked in a breath. Was this brat going to expose me?

"Yeah..", I mumbled. Maya shook her head.

"Now I know one of you isn't trustworthy", Maya sighed.

"Maya.. don't say that..", Snow whispered.

"Yeah, it could be Kocho after all", I agreed.

"No, cut the act, which ever one of you", Maya screamed.

"Maya, no", Snow sighed.

"Guys, it's obviously Kocho, we know all of us would never kill, especially Maya, she's the doctor", I said again, trying to convince them. Maya shook her head.

"I'm sorry I keep crying and worrying, let's just stick together and stay away from Kocho", Maya sighed.

"It seriously isn't your fault", Snow groaned.

"Yeah", I mumbled.

"Snow, tell me everything about it..", Maya added, quietly, after a moment.

"Okay, well, so you were in the kitchen cooking, so then I decided to wake up Apple, so I went into her room and tried to wake up her", Snow replied. Maya nodded

"And then?..", Maya asked quietly.

"Okay so then I kept calling her but she didn't respond so I looked around her room and saw this book on her dresser", Snow added.

"Huh...", I mumbled, but, Snow glared at me.

"And then I looked through the book, but it was like empty so I thought I'd be able to see it in some sort of light so I went towards the window in the room", Snow explained. I looked to my side and crossed my fingers behind my back, hoping Snow woudn't expose me but I knew she wouldn't have proof anyway.

"Like I had thought, there were words on the book appearing, but it said only that page would be visible to innocents or the doctor in light while the murderer would only be able to see the other pages", Snow added.

"Huh.. That's weird..", Maya said quietly. Even though I may not understand everything, I know for sure Snow would be dead tonight.
