AMONG US: Untrust

🌼 ANGIE'S POV 🌼
-----•-----
"Hey sis" I heard a voice say. "Wake up". I opened my eyes and looked up at him. "Frick no" I mumbled and pulled my covers over my head. He sighed and picked me up. I was still wrapped in my blanket and looked like a white caterpillar. He slung me over his shoulder. "Put me down!" I yelled. "You're just cranky, sis." he told me. "Ayy, what's the ruckus?" Rudy yelled. He stood at the doorway in his red shirt and black shorts. He was holding his beanie in one hand.

"Some of us are trying to sleep!" he shouted. "Well, I'm sorry but one of us is going to have to act as leader now" Andy sighed. "You all need to wake up at the right time in preparation for our new schedule!". I groaned and trying wiggling out my blanket burrito and onto my bed.

He dropped me onto my bed. "Get dressed in five minutes" he told me. "You too Rudy". Rudy mumbled and walked back to his room next to mine. The alarms that usually signal the start of the day rang. Andy walked out my room. I got up and walked over to my closet containing my spacesuit and spare clothes. I grabbed my suit and changed into it then walked out.

Everyone at the table was silent. Everyone was eating their food silently. Lemon was fixing up Daisy's hair into a braid while she was eating some space food. Fuchsia was fidgeting with his flower hairclip. Lime was constantly fixing their hair and Nutella was playing with her party hats.

"You alright, Angie?" Rudy asked me. "You don't usually wear your hair messy". "I just don't feel like I have the energy to fix my hair" I sighed. I sat down between Nutella and Andy, tapping my fingers on the table.

It was very silent now. Three were gone, eight left and only one of us is a confirmed innocent. "Why are we so silent?" Daisy asked us. Some people looked at her when she asked that, but nobody replied. It must be scary for her, to have to experience this at such a young age. She continued eating, her bunny plush on the table next to her.

"W-We need to find more innocents" Lime told us. "If any of you guys have visual tasks, please tell us". "Well, I got a task in Storage" Lemon said. "Anyone else?" Lime asked us. Nobody bothered to reply. "E-Eveyone's tired. I get it" Lemon said. "But I'm s-sure we can get through this". Andy and Lemon were trying so hard to fill in the empty role of leader Brooke left behind. It was silent, but there was a small remnant of hope in the air.

We all were ready for another day of our lives being at risk. I had time to put my headband on despite my hair still being messy. We went off into the ship. We all did our tasks alone. Walking down the halls was pretty anxious. I knew that there were a few others near, but they all had continued onto their next task once I reached them. I passed by security and looked in. Nobody was there. I decided to try and check the security cameras. Maybe I could catch the impostor in the middle of their killing spree.

"You okay?" I heard a voice say. A hand placed itself on my shoulder. I jumped in surprise. It was Rudy. "H-Hey Rudy" I chuckled. "What are you doing?" he asked me. He looked over at the screens I was watching. "You checking security?" he said. "Ah.. cool".

There was a short silence. He went on to work on his task. I thought that I might as well talk to him while I'm at this. "So, Rudy?" I said. "You do anything fun back on Earth?". He looked back at me. "Well, I actually used to rollerskate" he told me. "Me and my ex-girlfriend would go to the skating park a lot and then get smoothies at the local shack". "Y-You have a girlfriend?" I asked him. "Is it that surprising?" he asked me.

"Maybe.." I told him. "You do seem like the youngest in the group, minus Daisy". "Oh I see" he smirked. "You guys are just surprised that the youngest adult here can get himself a girlfriend while y'all still single". "I-I guess so?" I said.

He looked at me and laughed. "Oh my god" he chuckled. I smiled and laughed a bit too. "I-I just hope Maria's doing alright" he sighed. "If I didn't come back... then...". He looked worried. I put my hand onto his shoulder. Rudy smiled a little. He patted my hand back. "We really.. like REALLY got to go do our tasks now" he told me. "We can't just stay watching the security footage". "O-Oh yeah" I chuckled. We walked out of Security and went our separate ways. I was constantly checking my tablet to see what to do next.

Suddenly, the sirens started beeping out of nowhere and the lights constantly switched from normal to red. I looked down at my tablet. OXYGEN DEPLETED IN 20 SECONDS. Wait, our oxygen!?! I heard numerous footsteps ringing through the halls. I didn't know impostors could deplete the oxygen!? I ran to Admin. Nutella and Andy were already there, trying to punch in the code as fast as they can. "Angie!!" Nutella shouted. "We already finished this one! Go get the other code!!". The sirens beeped again. 10 seconds.

As I ran through the halls as fast as I can, I hit the wall and fell down. I got up quickly and ran into 02. "I'M HERE!" I shouted. Fuchsia and Lime were already there. I realised that the red lights had stopped flashing and the sirens stopped beeping.

"Oh..." I muttered. "I TRIPPED FOR NO REASON AT ALL!?!". "A-Are you okay?" Lime asked me. They patted my head. "Y-You seem alright..". "You seemed to have a pretty nasty fall." Fuchsia told me. He knocked on the hard steel walls. "These things are metal after all."

"I swear, I'm fine guys" I told them. "I just tripped". "O-Okay" Lime stuttered. "I need to get going guys" I muttered. "Talk to y'all later".

As I walked down the halls, whistling a song in my head, I heard footsteps. They were coming down the hall opposite from my direction. They were fast-paced. Running. Did they witness a murder? Are they running away from an imposter? I was prepared to run myself if it was any of those ideas. Then the person turned a corner. It was Daisy.

Her eyes were wide and afraid. Her ponytail looked loose. There were... specks of blood on her face. And her eyes... Full of tears. Streaming down her face faster than a waterfall. "A-Angie.." he muttered. "Angie help me.. ANGIE!!!". She ran up towards me and hugged me. I was scared and curious about what she was so scared about if we wasn't being chased. Then I remembered...

She was always with Lemon...

"Wh-Where's Lemon?" I asked her. She continued sobbing. Her tears made it hard for me to hear what she said. There were a few blood smears on my suit caused by her hug. She took my hand and led me somewhere in the Skeld. We stopped at Electrical.

She stood at the entrance. "You okay?" I asked her. She ran into the room, tears dripping onto the floor. I followed her in. And then stopped my tracks. Daisy was crouched over a body, yelling out their name. Blood was pooling over the floor. Daisy's suit and hair were soaked in blood from attempting to revive the victim. Lemon was dead.....
