An Among Us Story

Chapter 6~ Tyler POV

Tyler POV

I stared at Harper as she laid peacefully in my arms. I examined every perfect detail of her body. Her soft skin, her long curved eyelashes, her silky brown hair, her small nose, and the rose tattoo on her shoulder. The line slowly moved forward. And we walked into this large metal thing- it looked like a spaceship.

ARE THEY SENDING US INTO SPACE?! I thought rapidly.

Harper groaned in my arms once we entered the space ship. I looked around and the kidnapper was nowhere in sight.

"HELLO AGAIN YOU SCUMBAGS!" The kidnappers voice echoed throughout the halls, followed by a long long paragraph of words; "YOU ALL HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO JOIN A SECRET SERVICE. BUT YOU MUST PASS A TEST BEFORE YOU CAN JOIN. THE TEST IS TO BE IN A SPACESHIP, AND COMPLETE TASKS.

THERE ARE BACKPACKS NEXT TO THE DOOR YOU JUST ENTERED FROM. YOU ALL HAVE THE COLOR ASSOCIATED TO WHAT YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW. THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR SPACE SUITS AS THIS SPACE SHIP HAS SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY. INSIDE THE BACKPACKS IS A KEY TO YOUR ROOM AND A TABLET, WITH ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IN IT. IT HAS A DIGITAL MAP WITH ALL OF YOUR TASKS LOCATED ON IT." He took a deep breath and continued.

"BACK TO THE TEST. THERE ARE 2 PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CHOSEN AMONG US, CALLED IMPOSTERS. THESE IMPOSTERS WILL KILL YOU CREWMATES. THE IMPOSTERS ALREADY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE, SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU ARE A CREWMATE. IF YOU STILL HAVE DOUBTS LOOK IN YOUR TABLET. ALSO, IF ANYONE FINDS A DEAD BODY YOU CAN REPORT IT BY GOING TO THE CAFETERIA AND PRESSING THE EMERGENCY MEETING BUTTON. YOU CAN ALSO CALL AN EMERGENCY MEETING IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS THE IMPOSTER. YOU CAN VOTE ON WHO IS THE IMPOSTER AND KICK THEM OUT OF THE SPACESHIP." He paused and went on again.

AND LASTLY, THESE ARE THE RULES: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK INSIDE OTHER PEOPLE'S BACKPACK. YOU ALL ARE TOO REPORT TO THE CAFETERIA IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY MEETING. AND THERE WILL BE NO FUNNY BUSINESS." He finished.

"Damn," is all I can make out. I look around and see others gawking at each other. I'm so confused. Why us? And what exactly is this mission? Death? I sigh out loud and look back down and a peaceful Harper. It helps me relax.

"SO? WHAT ARE YOU LITTLE SCUMS WAITING FOR! GET TO YOUR ASSIGNED ROOMS!" The kidnapper barked. Everyone followed his orders, grabbed their backpacks and walked up the stairs. I didn't even know there were stairs.

Ace hasn't talked to me since the bus, I wonder what's going on inside his head. I look ahead and see him walking infront of Lexi; he has his head on her shoulder and is looking quite calm. Strange. He never shows any affection. And I mean any. But for some reason, he has always been a bit softer with Lexi. Like the time on the football field...could he have feelings? Probably not. If he has feelings anyway...I look back at Harper. She is slightly trembling. I frown and pat her head awkwardly. I don't know what to do when a girl is, I don't know- feeling this way? Though it affects me the most when Harper is, feeling this way.

We reached the top of the stairs, and there were 14 colored doors; Black, Blue, Dark Purple, Pink, Cyan, Yellow, Lime, Red, Green, White, Orange, Gray, Brown, Lavender.

The speakers began to boom again, "YOU SCUMBAGS CAN HAVE A PEACEFUL NIGHT AS THE SHIP WILL BE ON AUTOPILOT FROM 7 PM TO 10 AM. NOW GET INTO YOUR ROOMS!"

Let's put Harper in Harper's room. I approached her room to find the door locked. Shit; the keys are in her backpack, and only she can look into her backpack. Okay let's just temporarily put her in my room. I need to explain everything to her anyways.

Oh- and great! I am neighbors with Ace. I should fix things with him. I mean he is my best friend.

I walk up to Ace as he says goodbye to Lexi. He raises his eyebrows at me like he normally does.

"Look I'm sorry for what happened on the bus. I shouldn't have yelled at you," I quickly said, since I rarely apologize. I apoligize more than Ace though.

"I think I know why you yelled at me," he said with a smirk.

"Huh?" I responded in a confused tone.

"I can tell you have feelings for her."

I roll my eyes, "Like how you have them for Lexi."

His eyes widened, "Not necessarily...I just like her more than other girls, she's...different. Don't tell anyone though okay?"

"You think I would?" I ask taken aback.

"No, but you still haven't answered my question. Do you like Harper?" Ace pressured.

"Oh please. The only reason I'm carrying her is because of the stupid kidnapper dude," I replied.

"Okay then, well, we better get into our rooms," Ace said, ending our conversation.

"Yeah, okay then see ya," I responded.

Ace can know nothing. He is the king of rumors and with only 14 people here it would take him less than 10 minutes to spread one. He spread rumors about me and Heather. Ugh even thinking about her makes me want to throw up.

I walk to my room and unlock it before I head inside Lexi marches towards me.

"Where do you think you're heading with her?" Lexi scolded.

"To my room? I can't take her into her since I can't get the key from her backpack according to the rules, only she can look in there," I replied.

"In that case she's coming with me into my room!" she stated. Her tone gave me the chills.

"The kidnapper dude said I need to take care of her until she wakes up!" I argued.

I didn't want to give Harper to Lexi. Harper is sort of like my stress ball except I don't squish her. I just look at her and I feel calmed.

"Ugh, fine just send her to my room when she wakes up," Lexi demanded, glancing back eyeing me with her cold green eyes, as she walked away. I swear, she's meant for Ace. They can love eachothers stone hearts for all I care.

"'Kay then," I muttered to her, knowing she wouldn't hear.

I unlocked my room to find not a bedroom but a complete luxury. My room was in a blue theme and was sort of like those really large hotel rooms but 100 times more fancier. There was a closet filled with an assortment of dark blue clothing, and a king size bed with blue bedding, Blue LED lights lining the top edge of the roof all around the room. A kitchen with metallic blue cutlery, Lets just say this to make it more simple almost everything was blue. I dumped Harper on my blue bed and just realized how light she was, it felt like I just put a spoon down.

I just gaze at Harper as she is peacefully asleep. Her arm twitched and she rubbed one of her eyes.
