A/n: God, I haven't written anything for this in a long time...Don't worry my dear children, I have not stopped writing! Well, this is halfway through the ten chapters I am writing. Wish me luck and I hope you enjoy reading this chapter as much as the others, or more.
To my kind editor:
Thank you so very, very, very much for finding those mistakes in my last chapter! Sorry haven't posted something in a while, I'll be sure to make it up during October, or more likely, Halloween. Enjoy this lovely chapter!
The others headed back to the house on top of the hill on the island. Styx dragged Zim into the closet, which had X, Stonez, Zoe, Mac, and now Zim inside. She sighed and held her hands together, "Okay everyone, you should all get some sleep. Even if you have insomnia, go to bed. I don't suspect any of you to come outside of your rooms and of course, keep the doors locked. Trust no one." Dib eyed her in suspicion and walked into his room, of course locking the doors behind him. Zag skipped happily to her room, the door slamming shut behind her as if she were angry, which was highly unbelievable. Once Styx was sure everyone had headed to their rooms, she walked into a vacant room and slowly fell asleep.
'What if everyone else thinks I'm the killer? Well, I can't die. I think someone's framing everyone, there has to be a catch. Unless, I am the murderer. Oh no, it can't be. I guess I'll jus get some sleep and stop worrying about it.' Styx thought in the middle of the night and then shut her eyes. A scream came from one of the people's room and Styx shot up like it was nothing. She ran throughout the hallways and eventually came to the room where the screaming was heard. Styx kicked down the door with her heavy Reaper 30 boots and walked inside, studying the area closely.
"Oh, it's just you." Styx said unsurprised that Ivy laid there on the floor, dead as could be. The once bright-colored and happy Irken was lying on the floor without a color to her. The room was dark which made the scene only gloomier. Anything red on Ivy was now gray, the red colors now on the floor acting like blood stains. The only odd thing was, Styx couldn't find any cuts on the Irken that she hadn't known very well. All she found was a small bump in her neck. A needle was laying by Ivy's side, possibly once filled with poison, but now empty. Styx slowly picked it up and turned around as Dib walked into the room.
Startled, Styx turned around quickly, holding the needle in her hand and for once in her lifetime, panicking, "I didn't do anything!"
"Right, says that needle you're holding in your hand. What happened to Ivy? I may want to expose all Irken life-forms to the humans and become famous, never being called crazy again. But I wouldn't just do it without a warning of some sort. What happened?" Dib hissed almost every word, glaring angrily at Styx, she was now on the floor, looking as if she was about to cry.
"I walked in on her, and she was like this. I don't know what happened to her-" Styx was cut off by Zag entering the room curiously.
"What's with all the yelling? Oh...Did someone else die?" Zag took yet another broken Indian statue out of her pocket and sighed, quickly placing it in there again. "I'm not even going to ask anymore. Here, help me pick her up."
"No," Styx held up a hand. " Just leave the dead body alone. There's no more room in the closet. Zag, what was the next part of the poem and what will be the next part of the poem?" Styx asked, lowering her raised hand.
Zag put a finger up to her chin to think a moment. "Oh, I remember now! Six little Indians playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. The next one is quite simple... Five little Indian boys going in for law, One got in Chancery and then there were four." She recited the poem, Styx and Zim worried.
'There was only three of them here, right? I thought the others all died... Did they? Or am I forgetting someone?...' Styx and Dib both thought, now officially confused.
