Chapter 3: Distorted Discoveries.
Group Two carried on walking down the corridor that lead to the sauna and pool. They turned left and entered the sauna room to find it empty; all that was left was the pool.
Group One began to walk down the back corridor that lead to the entrance and corridor from the kitchen to pool and sauna. Group Three entered the door to the last room upstairs; the armoury. The five entered and began to examine the knight's armour briefly.
Just then through out the house an ear piercing scream sounded from the pool room; it was Tea's voice.
The entire occupants ran to where they had heard Tea. Group one ran down the corridor and through the entrance to the next corridor that lead to the pool. As Lizzy was running she heard a door behind her close; she turned to look at the door to the kitchen. Then she saw running just behind her; Sophie.
"Hey dude where you been?" Asked Lizzy to her friend.
"Ive been just behind you trying to catch up; every time I got close you lot went faster." "Well you're here now. Did you here the scream?" "Yeah!" They all continued to run until they burst through the door that lead to the pool.
The smell and sight that met them caused them all to cringe and cover their mouths.
Standing around the pool was Tea crying and cowering from the sight. Joey and Yami stared in disbelieve at what laid in the pool. Marik and Yami Malik stared in awe,
"Dude what a way to go!" Said Marik trying not to laugh.
"Well cool!" Said Yami Malik smiling.
Lizzy's eyes widened as she saw Mai's body floating in the crimson waters.
Just then the last group entered the room. Kaiba took one look and covered his eyes in disgust. Mokuba's mouth hung open in a silent scream as he saw the dead girl in his and his brother's pool. Kaiba took his brother into his arms to prevent him from seeing any more.
"Bloody hell!" Said Rex as he ran into the room.
"Fucking hell more like!" Said Emily still staring at the bitch.
Weevil was the last to enter and when he did he stopped dead in his tracks and fell to the floor unconscious.
The colour that was left in Tea's shocked face went as she turned and threw up.
"What the hell happened?" Asked Sophie staring at Mai's charred body.
"Well obviously she was murdered!" Said Yami Malik pointing out the obvious.
"But how?" Asked Sophie unsurely.
"By the looks of it she was electrocuted." Said Marik pulling out the lifeless drill.
"But by who?" Asked Kaiba, "Who's sick enough to kill someone in such a way?" "Someone who know she was here!" Said Emily piecing it together.
"Someone who left the room unnoticed." Said Yugi.
"Or maybe someone who left the room while being noticed but not suspected." Said Lizzy.
"Well if that's true then the suspects are…" Said Joey, "Kaiba, Akifa…. Two very likely suspects and… You Sophie!" He said looking to Sophie in disbelieve.
"Now wait a minute mutt before you go accusing us how about yu give us a chance! I was on the phone; you know that!" "But how can we be so sure?" Asked Joey with suspicion in his voice.
"You can phone up my gardener and ask; I was on the phone to him the whole time!" "You were on the phone to your gardener?" Asked Sophie trying not to laugh.
"Billy!" Couched Lizzy.
Sophie laughed, Kaiba glared.
"What about you Sophie?" Asked Emily.
"I told you I was on the toilet!" She said.
"But you did go 'upstairs' so you had the perfect opportunity!" Said Yami Malik who was loving the tension in the room.
"Er I can vouch for her!" Said Lizzy putting her hand in the air.
"You can?" Asked Emily.
"Yeah I had the chain flush… Plus im pretty sure if you go up there; there will still be a smell or something!" Said Lizzy sniggering.
"HEY!" Said Sophie.
"So that leaves you Akifa!" Said Lizzy looking to the topless suspect.
"I went to the cellar!" He said trying to prove his innocence.
"But no one can back you on that!" Said Yugi who was shocked that his friend could be possible of doing such a thing.
"And no one saw you going down because I didn't answer the phone until after you had gone; and I came out before you!" Said Kaiba.
"Hey I don't think we should suspect each other so quickly! It could have been someone who heard our conversation and decided to do this and create a rift between us. We need to stick together if were to live; there is a murderer about don't forget!" Said Sophie trying to create peace again.
They all mumbled and stopped questioning each other.
"Um dudes?" Asked Mokuba who spoke for the first time after seeing the body.
"What is it dude?" Asked Lizzy bending down to look at the worried teen.
"Is there something you know?" Asked Sophie looking at the mini Kaiba.
"If Mai was on her own surely she was vulnerable!" "What's your point little dude?" Asked Emily.
Everyone looked to the raven haired boy.
"Well then that means we should stay together!" Said Mokuba.
"That's exactly what I was saying dude!" Said Sophie standing up slightly disappointed that he had no more idea's or relevant points.
Kaiba slapped his forehead at having a slow brother.
"No Im trying to say that those who are already alone are in danger!" Said Mokuba trying to warn the others.
"What do you-?" Started Yami.
"MALIK!" Shouted the gang as they began to run back down the corridor towards the kitchen.
Lizzy and Sophie being the fastest burst through the kitchen door first.
At what they saw Lizzy tried to run back out the door but was stopped by the on-coming others. Sophie covered her mouth as she tried to stop herself from being sick.
The gang took one look and turned away.
The walls were splattered with the crimson stain of blood. The units around where the body was was a blood bath; and in the centre laid the blender.
"Fuck me!" Said Yami Malik looking at his other self in shock.
"Oh my God!" Said Yami with widened eyes.
"MY KITCHEN!" Said Kaiba.
"ER!" Said Mokuba speechlessly.
"Who? Who? Who?" Stuttered Tea.
"Great Scott we're getting picked off one by one!" Said Ryou looking at the massacred body.
"What are we going to do?" Asked Yugi looking to everyone.
"We need to find the killer!" Said Emily.
"No we need to call the police." Said Akifa.
"How do you know that we'll live for when they get here?" Asked Marik.
"Surely we should try!" Said Lizzy.
"First we need to think of a plan!" Said Sophie taking authority to the scared crowd.
"Sounds like a plan inspector gadget!" Said Lizzy laughing.
"Sophie's right!" Said Kaiba.
"Makes a change!" Said Lizzy.
"And what do you suppose we do?" Asked Joey sarcastically.
There was silence.
"So we're going with Sophie's plan then!" Said Lizzy looking to the others.
"Im scared!" Said Serenity looking for someone to cling to.
"Pull yourself together!" Said Rex looking to her.
"Looks like Malik should have done that!" Said Weevil laughing at his own joke.
Everyone looked to him; his joke really wasn't funny.
