Blood Dept: Trail Of Corpses

Chapter 2: Strange things

I looked at Amber as well, though she would never do anything as childish in less she was getting something out of it. So, what happened here? I'm acting like I didn't know the answer but, how were they not heard? I found myself starring at Tsukis phone screen bewildered before examining the mark on the back of it, it was red like the ones they would put on postcards yet instead of the regular circular mark it was an oval shape with some type of demon mark in the middle.

"Ken, what-"

I remember all of the awkwardness reveling itself at that moment, I looked like a creep looking at the picture that would have been pointed to me taking since no one else here was awake but me.

"What are you doing on my phone?"

"Uh- I found this picture up here I promise I didn't take this, I'm serious!"

I could feel a rush of adrenaline as the look of unsureness traversed across his face. He must've not believed me, I wouldn't have either.

"Look here, this thing on the back wasn't here before."

I remember him looking at me before getting up and putting his hair in a ponytail and letting two strands down on each side of his head, I hoped at that moment that he didn't think I put that there. He then looked at it closely resting his arm on my shoulder like I was an armrest, he knew I hated this.

"You're right, how would you have taken this picture anyway?"

"EXACTLY!"

A feeling of relief came back though my shout woke Amber up causing a groggy groan to fill the room, nobody liked Amber when she was woken up but with Sora, it was just funny.

"What are you yelling about!?" Amber growled, her piercing glare rushed over to my direction.

"Wha-" Sora grumbled, rubbing drool off of her face, her head was overall lopsided with her mouth slightly opened.

Sora acted like an extroverted drunk person when woken up, sometimes I just wanted to pinch her cheeks. Her awakening somewhat threw off the seriousness of the situation that I was trying to explain, when she got up and stretched she gave us a somewhat mischievous look before grinning at all of us. She soon went to go eat some cereal that she bought knowing she would burn the house down by cooking, while she stuffed her face she proceeded to talk as if she wasn't chewing.

"Wassap peoples, what's with all the hubbub?"

I remember looking at her and couldn't help but smile, I wanted to say that nothing was up but this mark its picture sparked suspicion.

"What's with the mark? New decoration? I like it"

She is so stupid, completely oblivious of the situation. I was probably the smartest dude there or the most observant besides Tsuki.

"The decoration was not there when we got here, and none of us put it there Sora."

"So? Oh, wait."

I guess it finally snapped for her, we were broken into somehow. All of us were checking the doors and their locks, they were all locked yet Amber's sharp eye found some quite large fingerprints.

"Here. The front door, I tried it and it was locked as well but these fingerprints must have come from a bigger person probably a man."

All that Amber played were detective games, I guess she learned from each investigation but now we were on edge. What a vacation this was. Sora continued to eat her cereal just watching as we were searching around the house like policemen during a murder case, I could hear her sigh under her breath as she tried to lift the mood again.

"Dude, it's a vacation, not an escape room! Come here and eat some breakfast or somethin we are going to be up tonight anyways to stargaze in less y'all chickens bok bok"

Honestly, too cocky for this situation I wish I would have asked her how she acts during an actual home invasion, does she mock them? Talk to them? Ask how their day was and wave goodbye as they take her flat-screen TV? Seems like something she would do. Amber's eyes could be felt across the room one more, even I could tell Sora was being glared at.

"Sora, we have to make sure we are safe here before we do activities here it's only common sense."

I and Tsuki were just watching them, intelligence and confident stupidity were clashing. Nothing could be better.

"You should have done that before we got her ya know if it was so unsafe why did ya choose this place and just why did ya bother to come hmm?"

Tsuki and I were looking back and forth, interested in their comebacks, we sat further from each other than we originally did before the argument started.

"I ensured this place was safe, but I can't predict everything that will happen after that."

Amber walked over and shoved Sora a bit but all she gave back was a taunting grin. Her canines were seemingly sharper than most, it's as if she sharpened them herself. They kept exchanging smirks and glares at each other so I thought that was finally a chance to get myself a bowl of cereal, though Tsuki didn't seem hungry.

"How about we take a walk to cool off the tension? There's enough of that at work you know."

Tsuki to the rescue, I wish he was still there when I needed him the most...
