Chapter 6: Murderer Revealed
Sabrina was in room 1, Lily's room. She heard pounding on the door. "Sabrina? Are you inside?" Vivian asked through the door.
Sabrina tried to make noises through the gag. Her arms are tied up behind her as she desperately tried to make any sound possible. She saw an empty mug that probably contained a drink of Lily's. She reached it with her head as she hooked it with her neck before bringing it down, smashing it.
Vivian looked at the four next to her, "I think something is inside." Some gagged noises are heard. "Yep, she might be inside."
"Are you sure that she won't attack us or something?" Nicole asked being a bit scared for her life.
Evan approached the door, "No time for that, let's go!" Nicole looked at him before nodding bravely.
Evan and Parker slammed the door down and saw Sabrina inside. The bomb-omb was gagged and has her arms tied behind her back. Both of them hurried to save her. "What happened? This is just madness…"
Sabrina stood up and thanked the other two. "Um, I fell asleep at the white smoke and woke up here… But I don't think I'm hurt…"
"Get her tied up! She's the murderer!" Nicole shouted and Sabrina looked surprised, "Aren't you Keegan's twin little sister?"
Evan gulped before turning to the girl in question. "Are you actually his sister?" The blooper asked, Sabrina closed her eyes and slowly nodded.
"Um, can we get out of here? I'll tell the entire story…"
Everyone sat down in the lounge room. "So, are you the murderer or not?" Vivian asked, "I still remember this place, when they are all still alive…" She said with sadness in her voice.
Sabrina shook her head, "Um, I thought I was about to die when I found myself in that room, I am Keegan's sister, but I never killed any of them!"
"You told me that your parents divorced after finding out that the two of you are different species. You went with the father bomb-omb, right?" Nicole asked, Sabrina nodded, "Keegan went with the shy girl mother, but why didn't you admit the fact that he is your brother?"
Sabrina shivered, "Um, I was scared because you might say that I'm the murderer for a series of crimes I never committed."
"Did you and Keegan ever meet before that train?" Parker asked being a bit scared as well.
"Um…" Sabrina went into the past, "No but on the train, we told each other the parent that raised us has died, he also wanted to introduce someone to me… I don't know who though."
Flona sighed shakily, "I had enough of this, so I'm out of here."
"Flona, you have to listen and find out!" Nicole begged.
Flona spun around, "I think I had enough of my life for the last few days."
As Flona went back into her own room, crying a bit, Sabrina continued. "Um, I'm done with my past… But the night that Lily died, I was looking at a picture of Keegan and I when we were young, I just hoped to see him again sometime… Fate is very cruel. Our happy reunion ended with his sad, tragic death."
"You think it would be alright to just leave Flona inside her room for the day?" Evan asked aloud after Sabrina finished.
"I would give her some space. Anyone will go crazy after events like this." Parker shrugged.
The day passed without too much happening, everything went by as normal.
However, at night, someone is about to meet their demise.
The murderer polished their gun and silencer with a smirk, but the smile on their face faded as soon as they heard some footsteps outside. Someone must've decided to take a walk or patrol around the area.
The door opened to the theatre.
"What are you doing here?" The person asked.
The murderer smirked, "You know what."
"I thought that…" They saw the gun and the silencer and attempted to scream, but the murder took a swift shot and a bullet went into their heart.
The murderer sighed, "Another one down, now, how to take care of this…"
Vivian awoke to the beautiful scenery outside, "If only I could see it myself and out of this horror." She sighed to herself before getting out of bed and going into the living room. "Am I the only one out here?" She wondered aloud.
"Nope, you're not." Vivian jumped around in surprise, "Good morning!" Evan smiled cheerfully at her.
"Phew, you scared me! I thought that the murderer found me!" Vivian laughed.
Nicole also came out of her room, "Hey, guys, just up?"
Vivian and Evan nodded as Sabrina came out of her room, yawning. "Um, hi there…" She said drowsily.
The group of four had their breakfast as they waited for someone else to get up.
"Hmm… Curious, Flona and Parker don't look like the type to oversleep." Nicole said, looking at the clock.
Evan laughed, "As if you don't know them long enough."
"Did someone just mention me?" Someone asked at the doorway as the four of them turned to the person. "Sorry, I overslept." Flona apologized.
"Where could Parker be? Usually he would be up by now." Flona wondered.
Vivian nodded, "Yeah, he would usually be up by now, you want to go and check?"
"We should, just in case of the worst." Evan said as he stood up.
They approached the paratroopa's room as Nicole knocked on the door.
"Parker, are you inside?" Nicole asked.
No reply came.
Evan rolled his eyes, "Should we bust the door down?" Nicole shrugged.
"We should." Vivian said as she tried the doorknob, "Wait, the door is unlocked."
"Come on, open the door already!" Nicole said with impatience.
Vivian shivered, "I'm a bit scared…"
"Um, I thought that you call yourself the undefeatable Vivian?" Sabrina asked.
"But I'm not made for murders!" Vivian shouted.
Nicole stood up, "Allow me. I've seen a few dead bodies during archaeology discoveries."
Vivian sighed in relief as she walked to the side. Nicole gathered her courage and opened the door.
Nothing is inside.
"Huh? Where is he?" Evan walked inside and started searching, but as there is only a closet and a bed and some other things, nothing is there.
"Um, closet?" Sabrina pointed out.
A chill ran down everyone's spines as Evan turned to the object Sabrina pointed out. "Yeah, he might be in there." Evan nodded.
"N-Nicole, can you do it a-again?" Flona asked, clearly scared.
"Yeah, I guess so." Nicole went up to the closet and opened it.
Nothing is inside there too.
Vivian rolled her eyes in wonder, "Now, where could he get to?"
"We were in the dining room, and then passed by the living room…" Nicole recalled, "So the only places left are the theatre, the other rooms and maybe the kitchen where he could be making breakfast for himself?"
"Um, I think we would've heard if he is in the kitchen." Sabrina said.
Vivian closed another door, "No, he's not in here either."
"Does that mean…?" Flona turned to the only room they haven't checked.
"Um… I hope not." Sabrina sighed, "I don't want to go into the dead bodies' room."
Flona walked up to the door, "I hope that he is actually inside the theatre… Nicole, Evan, be quick…" She hesitated to open it.
A scream ran out, "What was that?!" Vivian shouted in surprise.
"Quick! It's from the theatre!" Flona ran towards the place in question.
After Vivian followed Flona, Sabrina took one last look at the door before running towards the theatre as well.
Nicole rushed out of the room in fear, as soon as she exited the room, she crashed into Flona.
"Ouch! What happened?" Flona asked as she fell onto the ground.
Nicole quickly got up and apologized, "We found Parker… But his body is…"
Vivian and Sabrina arrived shortly after, "What happened to Parker's body?" Vivian asked, not very surprised with the news that Parker is dead.
"You should see for yourself." Nicole turned her head away from the room, "Evan is trying to… Untangle him."
"Huh?" All three of the other girls wondered at the same time.
Sabrina stepped forward, "Um… Maybe we should see him, just one last time?"
Flona covered her eyes as she screamed as soon as she saw Parker's body, Evan was trying his hardest to untangle the paratroopa from the strings that lifted him above the ground. A string tied onto each of his wrists and ankles as he was held high above ground and has strings surrounding him.
"What in the world is this?!" Vivian shouted, staring at the body in disbelief.
Sabrina backed away, "Um… This looks like… A spider web with him as the capture about to be eaten…"
Flona ran out of the room, "Are you okay? You look pale!" Nicole gasped as she saw Flona's face.
"G-Get me o-off…" Flona said, feeling a bit dizzy.
"You want to get some rest?" Nicole asked as Flona nodded, "Right, I'll take you back to your room."
That night, everyone stayed together for a while, except for Flona who is resting in her room.
"Hey, guys, tonight is night 8, right?" Nicole asked being a bit despite to get off the train.
Vivian nodded, "I think so…" She yawned. "Sorry, I actually wish to get some rest."
"You would lock your door and never unlock it until you are ready to get out, how about this, let's all go to sleep and I'll come and get you first thing in the morning?" Evan asked.
Sabrina nodded and stood up, "Um, I think I'll go to bed… Good night everyone, I'll lock my door and never open it under any reason."
"I'll go to bed as well, I'm really tired." Vivian stood up as well.
Nicole and Evan chatted for a while after the other two went to bed to stay awake until they decided to get some rest for tomorrow.
But they forgot the fact that Flona's door wasn't locked.
Day 9 arrived and just like Evan promised, he went and got everyone up. Somehow Evan wasn't harmed in any way, or rather, might he be the murderer?
There are only 5 people alive after the deaths of Steven Idile and Parker Steelix after Lily Rockler's death.
Vivian Grassplant, Sabrina Tale and Nicole Holly followed Evan Electro to Flona Willie's room.
That's when they discovered that they forgot the fact that Flona's door was unlocked yesterday.
After opening the door, they searched every inch for a sign of her, but there are no traces of where she could've gone to.
"Where could Flona be? Don't tell me that she is also dead!" Vivian shouted.
Evan scanned his eyes around the room again. "It doesn't seem like that she is in this room."
"Um… Maybe she might be in the game room? We haven't gone in there for a few days, hence why I forgot it until now." Sabrina suggested.
Nicole shrugged, "I think we should search everywhere, together."
The night in approaching and everyone is inside the living room, no one could find Flona.
"Um, the drinks are here…" Sabrina laid the tray down. "I also made some sandwiches if you would like something to eat…"
After Sabrina sat down and everyone grabbed something to eat or drink, Nicole took out the map and the list of everyone's rooms. "Let's try to figure out who the murderer is right now." Nicole began, "Everyone remembers the first murder?"
"I'm pretty sure that Andy was murdered early in the morning, anyone could've done it." Evan said, pointing out the fact.
"I know that," Nicole sighed, "Same with Katty's murder, anyone could've killed her while having an excuse to go for the toilet."
"Um… I think I may know a way for Allen's murder…" Sabrina spoke up.
Vivian looked at her, a bit surprised. "Please, do go on."
"Um, if the murderer puts a capsule with poison inside his noodles when opening it, he will eat some before the capsule melted and the poison went into his noodles. If that is the case, then he mentioned the fact that he likes to eat instant noodles a few minutes earlier than he supposed to, then the murderer would use that game to stall time." Sabrina said, "Also, I'm pretty sure that Steven misheard during Lily's murder, anyone could achieve Parker's murder."
Nicole gasped, "Then there is only one person that did all this… The only person that Jenny would follow, leading her to be shot with the arrow, the one that handed Allen his noodles after opening it, also suggesting the game. The one that lent Frank their clock so he won't be late, a few minutes early, in fact, the one that is the closest to Lily and lied about what they heard that night…"
"Flona, she is the murderer!" Evan shouted.
Vivian looked around, a bit worried, "But she disappeared for the entire day! We'll arrive tomorrow morning, if she really wants to kill us, then…"
"Then I guess I could blow myself up with all of you and join Keegan in afterlife." A voice said by the doorway to the living room.
Everyone turned, and there is a light grey boo standing there with a bunch of things.
Flona has appeared with a bomb in her hands.
