Roblox Flicker

4 AM

I can't believe we still didn't find the murderer. We lost so many people. Ugh, I don't want to die!

The twins fell asleep. Rita and Chlorine were talking to each other. Amani and Elizabeth were in the office. Rosalie and Jackson found a door that won't open. And I'm just staring at the floor. "Hey, guys! We need to find out what's behind the door!" Rosalie shouted, which woke up the twins. "Keep it down!" Vinny shouted back. "Well, she's right. Maybe something important" JoJo got up and tried the door. "It's locked" Jackson said sarcastically. "There's no keyhole" Vinny pointed at the doorknob. "Does anyone have a crowbar?" Rosalie asked.  JoJo gave her an 'are you for real' face. "Why would we have a crowbar?" Chlorine stared at her. "To open the door!" Rosalie started to pull the doorknob. "Oh, yeah! Let me just magically  grab a crowbar from my pocket" JoJo reached into his pockets. "Oh wait... we can't do that!" Vinny finished his sentence.

Vinny reached into his pockets and magically found a crowbar. "Good! Thanks, Vinny" Rosalie took the crowbar from his hands. "Where did you get that and how did it fit?!" JoJo was very confused. "I... don't know" Vinny was still standing in the same position from when Rosalie took the crowbar. "Jackson, come help me out" Rosalie had the crowbar in place and started to pull it. Jackson helped her.

Rita noticed me sitting alone and came to me. "Carlos? What's wrong?" he sat next to me. "I just want to find out who the murderer is" I looked down. "Me too. Who should we check now? We still have Amani, Elizabeth, Rosalie and Jackson." "Jackson" I didn't hesitate. "Okay" Rita took a minute. "He's survivor"  Rita looked over at him. Survivor. All this time, he was a survivor. But now, he's working with Rosalie. Do I have to wait until next hour? I got up and went to Jackson. "Jackson, can you come?" I made sure only he heard me. "Sure," he smiled "I'll be back Rosalie". "Ugh, fine" she groaned "You! Come help" she pointed towards JoJo. "Alright".

"Um, I made up my mind" I whispered. "Really? Okay, what do you say?" he was impatient and wanted to know now. But I made him wait. "Uhh.... I'll work with you-" "Yes! I've been waiting for you to answer" Jackson continued. "Jackson! Listen," I said, a little louder than I expected "What about Rosalie?" Keep it between us. I promise. "She's survivor, too" he whispered. What if she isn't? What if she's secretly murderer. "How do you know?" I hope it's true. "She told me" he looked over at Rosalie "And if she was it, why would she kill Adanna first?" He's right. Maybe it's not her.

We didn't notice Vinny standing next to us until he spoke. "But she could be trying to trick you". Jackson jumped "Where did you come from?" "I was standing here the whole time" Vinny said, annoyed. "Oh, haha, you're really quiet" I laugh nervously. "So, you're going to work with us, Jackson?" Vinny made sure. "Yup! I just want to get out of this crazy place" Jackson sighed. "Yeah..." It seems like Vinny doesn't like Jackson working with us.

We get out of the kitchen and check up on Rosalie and JoJo. "Any progress?" Vinny asks. JoJo lets go, breathing hard "No". "Carlos, you and Jackson should try" Rosalie backed away. "Okay" I walk up to the wedged-in crowbar, grab on and pull. 

                                                                                              ***

I'm glad I can work with Carlos now. Why did it take him so long? Whatever. Now, I'm just pulling on a crowbar to open a door. It probably won't open. This door is really sealed shut.

"Vinny, why was there a crowbar in your pocket?" Chlorine raises a brow. "Magic...?" Vinny wasn't sure. "Well, it doesn't matter. Now we can open the door" Rosalie really cares about getting it open.

Amani and Elizabeth walk out the office door. "What took you so long?" Rita looked over at them. "We were trying to turn on the computer" Elizabeth explained. "What are you guys doing?" Amani saw Carlos and I pulling the crowbar. "We are trying to open the door to see what's behind it"Chlorine walked up to us and helped. "It's so slippery" Chlorine let go. "Ugh, this is not working" I gave up. "Let's take a break, we'll try later" Carlos went to sit down.

I wonder what I'll do with Carlos' group. They always seem to tell each other secrets. "Guys we need to find the murderer" Chlorine spoke up. "Yeah, he's right" Rita agreed. "It's safer to talk in the bedroom" JoJo already got up and went to the bedroom. We all follow, leaving Elizabeth, Amani and Rosalie in the living room.

After we all get in, JoJo locks the door. "Okay, we can talk now but not to loudly" Vinny warns. "Okay, Jackson, you're survivor?" Rita double checks. "Yeah" I answer. "Okay, we will tell you our roles. I'm psychic, JoJo and Vinny are twins and Carlos and Chlorine are survivors" Rita pointed at each one. "Oh, okay" Now I know why it took Carlos long to answer. "So there's Elizabeth, Amani and Rosalie" Vinny looked at the door. The lights start to flicker. "Oh no! Not now!" Chlorine cried. The lights go out.

"-It's 4 AM the lights flicker out-"

"-It's time for the murderer to play-"

                                                                                                   ***

I hear the door open. It's them. I try to stay close to Vinny and protect him. The murderer grabs someone with them. I let go of Vinny and follow the murderer. What am I doing? I try to follow and make out my surroundings. Ok, it looks like I'm between the kitchen and the living room. I remember that before the lights went out, I grabbed a match. I hear them going into the office. I walk in and light the match. Oh my god. Rita was lying on the floor. The murderer saw me in the office with them.

"Hello, JoJo" they smiled.

"It's you?!" I can't believe this.

They walk up to me with their knife. There was no more space, only a wall. They grab my neck and point the knife.

"Funny for you to come, you made a big mistake" they smile "I could get three kills".

Three? No, not Vinny. I can't let them do that. "P-Please! Don't do this..." I struggle to find air.

"Hmm, I have an idea" They let go and I fall to the ground. "Listen, JoJo," They started "I'll spare you and Vinny if you take the blame". I didn't like the idea. "And if you don't" They continued " I'll kill both of you". Take the blame? I'll get voted out. But at the same time, I don't want anything to happen to Vinny. "Fine" I said. I really didn't want to do this. "Good" They smile. I get up. "But!" They point their knife at me again "If you tell anyone that it was me, I will also kill you". "Okay, okay! I won't say. I promise". They start to laugh. "Good luck".

                                                                                             ***

"-The lights have turned on-"

"-Wait something seems off-"

"-Oh my! It appears one has died-"

"-The house guest, Rita, has been murdered-"

"-The murderer stabbed them in the office-"

"Rita!!" Chlorine yelled. "Guys...? Where's JoJo?" Vinny noticed his brother wasn't with us. We all rush to the office and see Rita on the floor. But more importantly, we saw JoJo. He stood there holding a bloody knife. "JoJo?!!" Vinny screeched. "What? It was you?" I was shocked. Vinny was really disappointed. He started to yell at JoJo. "How could you!" "Vinny, I can explain" JoJo tried to explain but Vinny didn't want to know. "I don't wanna hear it" he stormed outside the office. JoJo fell to his knees. "What have I done?"

"-It's time for the house guests to vote-"

"-Lets see who the house guests accused as murderer-"

"-The guests believe JoJo is the murderer-"

"-This conclusion is... incorrect-"

"Wait, what?!" Jackson shouted "But you're holding the knife!" Vinny came back to the office "It's not you?" JoJo shook his head and dropped the knife. Vinny ran and gave him a hug.

"-Since JoJo was a twin, Vinny must also be removed-"

"Both of us?" JoJo got up. Before they could say anymore, they disappeared.

"Guys! The door is opened!!" Amani shouted.
