Chapter 2: The Murder

It had been a month since Lilith became friends with Tess, Kaz, and Minoru. It was October 28, three days before Halloween. Tess had invited Kaz, Minoru, and Lilith to her sisters Halloween party, so that's all the four where talking about lately.

"Do you have a costume yet?" Minoru asked Lilith that day when they where going home. Lilith was going to the castle because her father was going to be there.

"No, not yet. You?"

"Are you kidding? I still have to ask my Parents." He laughed. As the two took a short cut through the woods they heard a loud scream. Lilith looked at Minoru.

"What was that?" She asked. Minoru shook his head and the two took of to where they heard the screams. But when they got there was already a crowd.

"Right in front of the school.....this is unbelievable." They heard a teacher say as they walked by. All of a sudden an ambulance came. Minoru looked around and saw Kaz.

"Kaz over here!" Kaz ran over.

"What happened?" Lilith asked. Kaz's face was white.

"Someone was murdered." Lilith's hands flue to her mouth.

"Who was it?" Minoru asked.

"I didn't see."

"Minoru!" The three turned to see the Queen of Alexandria, Queen Garnet.

"Mom?" Minoru questioned as she walked up. No one paid attention to the Queen's arrival because Pluto Knights and the Alexandrian solders where raiding the area.

"Minoru, Lilith you two are to come back to the castle right away." Garnet said in a sad tone.

"Mom whats going on?" He asked. Garnet didn't answer. The two said goodbye to Kaz and left with Garnet.

"How could something like this happen?" Zidane asked. Lilith's father, General Beatrix, and Caption Steiner stood in front of the king.

"Sr. we have the guards patrolling every area of the city.... it wont happens again." General Remo said.

"What wont happen again, dad?" Lilith asked as her and Minoru walled into the room with the Queen. The four adults looked over at the three's arrival.

"Its nothing you should worry about." Her father assured her. Lilith and Minoru looked at each other.

"Why don't you two go.... start you're homework?" Zidane asked. Minoru nodded and the two walked off.

"I wonder who it was?" Lilith questioned as they walked down a narrow hall.

"Me too. Hey lets call Tess to see if she knows anything." Minoru suggested.

Kaz walked up the stairs into his house. When He walked in he saw his mom sitting at the table and his father was on the phone.

"Oh Kaz, Thank goodness your all right!" His mother flung her arms around her son.

"Chill mom im fine." Kaz said stepping away.

"Hmmmm....ok, yes, talk to you latter, bye." His father said getting off of the phone. He noticed Kaz was home.

"Who was that?" Kaz asked sitting down.

"The General Beatrix......She wants to meet with you Kaz." He said in a low tone. Kaz jumped up.

"What with me........But why?"

"Kaz calm down they just want to ask you some questions about today.....at school." His mother said calming him down.

"But...i don't know anything about the...murder." Kaz said truthfully. His parents looked at each other.

"He....doesn't know?" His mother said looking at his father.

"Son.....you don't know who.....died." He asked. Kaz shook his head.

"No i don't who was it?"

"Kaz it was........"

Lilith and Minoru sat on a couch as Beatrix escorted their friend in the room. The King, Queen, and Kaz's parents soon followed.

"Whats going on here?" Minoru asked standing up. Kaz's face was white and it looked like all the life had been taken out of him.

"Kaz whats wrong?" Lilith whispered when he sat down next to her. He said nothing.

"Where were you three at the time of today's murder?" Beatrix asked.

"We were going home." Lilith said.

"So was i?" Kaz mumbled.

"Why are you questioning us we don't even know who died....."Lilith started but Kaz cut in.

"Lilith.....I know." Minoru looked at Kaz. "Who?" He asked

"You guys....it was Tess..."

"What!" Minoru's mouth dropped open. Everything seemed to stop.

"We aren't blaming you we just want to know if you know anything." Garnet said.

"No..... it can if happened. I don't believe you!" Lilith stood up.

"Lilith, Please sit down and listen." Her father asked.

"No!" Lilith yelled running out of the room. As she ran down the hall she couldn't think at all. She had tried calling Tess earlier. It all made sense now, Tess was usually home at that time. 'How could this happen?'
