An Impostor's Hunger [AMONG US FANFICTION]

The Plan

     The three remaining crewmates and Pink were the only ones left in the Skeld now. Although Red admitted to being an imposter, throwing him out didn't make the humans feel any relief. Red had also admitted to another impostor being on the Skeld. The four life forms stood in silence for a while, processing all that had happened. Although the humans were thinking about how they would make it out alive, Pink was focused on her next move. She had to rely on Green for this job to come to an end.

     "Cyan," Pink began gingerly, "They were both impostors, weren't they? Both choices were correct." Cyan balled her fists. "No! There's no way it's White. How do you know Red wasn't talking about Green?" Pink continued. "If he was talking about Green, wouldn't he have addressed me? I'm-" Pink stopped herself, unsure what she was about to say. She started again. "Cyan, White is close to you, which is why he said that to you. Isn't it obvious? The impostors must have turned on each other, which is why he warned us about White."

     White stood still. "Looks like there's nothing I can do to convince you, Pink. But I know it isn't me, so it must be Green - if the impostor was even telling the truth. Maybe he just wanted us to keep killing each other." Cyan perked up at the thought of no impostors being left. "Well, that means we don't have to eject anyone then, right?" Pink replied, "I guess so." She looked at her tablet. "Huh, looks like it's getting late, huh?" The humans agreed, and they all went down to get ready for bed.

     In the darkness, a small cry was let out. A mini purple crewmate sat on the Security floor, where his parents and sibling once stood. He was too wracked with grief and fear to leave the spot. His stomach rumbled, and he let out another cry, this one weaker than before. In fear, pain, hunger, and heartbreak, he slipped into unconsciousness, but this time was different. The child would never wake up again.

     In the morning, the air was silent. The four lifeforms prepared for the day of tasks ahead of them. A night had passed, and Pink's hunger had returned. She was ready. Cyan was the first to end the silence. "We should get our tasks done in pairs - I trust White, so I'll go with him, and Pink, you trust Green, so stay with him. It seems like the best way for now."

     Pink was satisfied by the plan. "Well - okay Cyan, that's good enough for me. Bye, you two." The two groups went off, Pink and Green to the East Hall, and Cyan and White to the West. Pink's plan was ready to begin. Green spoke. "Alright, Pink, looks like I have a task in Weapons. I have to shoot some asteroids. "Okay, Green, then get to it," Pink replied. Green nodded, climbing into the chair, ready to do his task.

     The first part of Pink's plan began as she cut the lights. Green, engrossed in the asteroids, didn't even notice. She walked South out of Weapons, walking down the hall until she found Cyan standing alone in Shields. Perfect, just as planned. When Cyan finally saw Pink, she didn't seem concerned. "Oh hi, Pink. You don't need to go fix the lights, White is already doing that. Pink did not reply. She made sure those were Cyan's last words.

     After completing the kill, Pink used the Shields vent to get to Navigation. Leaving the South Navigation vent and entering the North one, she silently vented back to Green in Weapons. He was still at the asteroids, not having noticed Pink's absence. The lights came back on, still without Green's knowledge. "Green." Pink said. "Hm?" Green replied in agknowledgement. "Are you almost done with that? I'm bored." "Oh," Green said, "Yeah, almost... there! Finally." He turned around to face Pink, and pulled out his tablet. "Looks like my next task is in-" Green was interrupted by the blaring alarm again. Pink's plan was going perfectly.
