Among Us, But My Friend is an Impostor

CHAPTER TEN

CHAPTER 10
Crewmate victory.
Sapnap.

"IT was the perfect crime," Sapnap relished.

The group had stayed in the library, and were now gathered by a single bookshelf, of which Sapnap claimed was the way into his liar.

"You're insane," Dream hissed through gritted teeth. "This is not what friends do, Sapnap."

Sapnap hummed as he pulled a book, so a doorway opened to his left. "The first few were perfect."

"Did you kill them, Sapnap?" Punz demanded. "Our friends."

"Of course not. I'm not a serial killer. It was all a game." Sapnap guided the way through the dusty hallways, and he heard the others gasp at the complexity of his tunnel system.

Sapnap had found the mansion on a haunted house site, which talked about the built-in passageways in the walls. A previous renter talked about how good it had worked as a scare, and Sapnap couldn't resist.

So he had rented the place out, and planned his little game. It had taken weeks of consideration, payments, and thorough planning. He had arrived before the rest of the gang, and that's how he had gotten a feel for the house as well as set up the speaker, and the technical parts of the mansion.

"So they're alive?"

"Sure." Sapnap turned a sharp right, then another, and soon he found himself in a whole nother story to the house. It appeared as if it had a living room, and multiple more hallways to bedrooms. At the sound of the crew approaching, more people came from the hallways with worried expressions on their faces.

"Dream?" George gasped from where he stood behind Antfrost. He rushed forward, throwing his arms around his pesky blond friend, holding him tightly. He didn't spare a glance at Sapnap.

The separated friends mingled cautiously, but happy grins started to emerge when Tubbo revealed they had won.

No one greeted Sapnap.

Eret, Tubbo, Fundy, and Punz all laughed as they gathered into a group hug, with Fundy accounting for how the texan abducted him so cleanly. It was surprising how fast they were able to laugh so quickly about it.

Dream, George, Antfrost, Skeppy, and Bad were laughing about how pathetic they were when they lost their best friends, and Antfrost was complaining over how much other people had pegged the blame on him.

Finally, Dream cleared his throat and both groups turned to Sapnap expectantly. "Sapnap, did you by chance want to give your villainous speech?" The crew chuckled.

"If you insist," the black haired teen shrugged. "Eret was easy. I used the passages in the room, woke him up and explained he was dead. He took it pretty easily. I got Skeppy the same way. I'm surprised you didn't notice their stuff disappeared from their room."

"Huh?" Tubbo sat down on one of the couches, tilting his head. "No, we didn't."

"I had to grab it since they were surviving down here." Sapnap nodded. "Okay, then I got George. I didn't mean to, honestly, but I saw him alone in the pool and it was pretty easy to approach him. I had to get Fundy afterwards, he was onto something." The group looked to the supposed furry.

"In the kitchen, you said Punz had sent you, but when I asked Punz about it, he hadn't. You changed your story during the meeting later." Fundy recalled.

"When I escaped Skeppy's room, I wasn't exactly expecting you to be in the kitchen. I had to make up a piss poor excuse, and I hoped you had believed it for the time being." Sapnao knitted his eyebrows. "However, later, I saw him say something to Punz about it and I knew he had to go. I figured Fundy knew I was lying right then because the direction I came into the kitchen was opposite the bedrooms, which meant I hadn't come from my room at all."

"I did pick up on most of that, yea." Fundy murmured.

"And then I got Bad, he was in the kitchen alone that night. The lights weren't even on. It was very easy to frame Antfrost for that one."

"Rude," Antfrost interjected, pointing at him. Yet, in the display, there was some amount of fondness. "I'll need therapy for this."

"And then Antfrost was alone and everyone split up. Did anyone even find his body before you framed me?"

"I saw it," Tubbo admitted. "But I didn't report it. I had already figured it out by the time Dream found me."

Dream hummed. "I should have known it was you. There were some obvious clues."

Sapnap gestured to him. "Do tell."

"First off," Dream began, and the group settled onto the couches like some sort of reunion. "You always were a third wheel. In that shipping clue, it should have been clear. No one here besides you would have written that and made us kiss. And before, you had made a comment about Skeppy and Bad."

Sapnap grinned. "My guilty pleasure. I reserve my throne as the number one dreamnotfound shipper."

"Clearly." Dream rolled his eyes. "And then Tubbo found the tunnels right before we found you and Punz. When I was sticking with you, you had gone to the bathroom and managed to kill two of the crew."

The rest of the group muttered in quiet awe. They hadn't expected Sapnap to get so good at Among Us.

"There's one thing I didn't understand," Dream elaborated. "Why didn't you kill me or Punz early on? Like George said, we should have been targets."

"You two were too sneaky. You were never alone, and if you were, the others knew who you were alone with. I nearly killed you when I got George, but it was far too obvious."

"Wait!" Tubbo yelped. "That's when I thought it was you too. You dumped the blame on Antfrost when I suggested it, despite that you two were becoming friends, and then you didn't bother to back him up. I knew it then, but I just didn't... Know it, I guess."

Sapnap shrugged. "By dumping the blame on Ant, it got me another free kill. I certainly didn't think I would get this close to the end, though."

"So how exactly did you kill people?" Punz questioned.

"In most cases I just told them they were out. If they protested- like Ant did- I knocked them out." Sapnap frowned. "Sorry about that. But then I brought them in the tunnels and had the others explain the specifics."

Eret chuckled. "I became the host down here."

"Fun fact- the address of this house, the first three numbers say 'SAP' in a number code. Thought it was rather convenient."

"Who woulda thought." George muttered.

"Who else is ready to head home?" Fundy asked, and the rest of the group nodded avidly with a mixture of laughs and hurriedness.

Maybe Sapnap was forgiven after all.
