SA 9-It's over, isn't it?
Crumbelina saw Swizz with a crazy look and knife in hand running away from his house. "Hey Vanilla. Mr. Lollipop is on the move."
She had been lying down, close to the ground, watching the front door. She got to her feet and began running after Swizz. She was the quickest of the racers so she caught up quickly.
Vanellope heard Crumbelina's walkie talkie message while at Deli-cious resturant with Gloyd for an informal first date. "Okay Crumbs. We'll be right there."
Both Gloyd and Vanellope got up to leave but the owners of the Deli, a short round man made from a ham with a serving apron on and a tall, thin woman made from cheese with string cheese hair, came over to them. "Where are you going?" The man asked in an almost angry tone.
"I'm the President of Sugar Rush. I need to be somewhere else.
"We are going to charge you a fee if you leave."
"I can't stay here!" She cried as Gloyd touched her hand.
"I'll stay here for a little while."
"Are you serious?" Vanellope looked at him.
"Yes." He went and pushed her toward the door. He sat down as she turned back. She kissed his cheek and ran out to her kart. She put her kart in reverse and pushed the pedal down as far as she could.
Gloyd sat and ordered a ham and cheese sandwich before realizing what he had just done. "Sorry sorry." He said flustered although the woman and man seemed unaffected as long as someone was buying food.
Swizz was smiling as he run toward Minty's house. He knew she was planning something for tonight to he would be there and stop her. She may attack him and he was ready with his knife in hand. The cruel and crazy look in his eyes showed that it was more than likely that there would be an attack, although Swizz might cause it.
He sped up, afraid to be late and waste another night. Crumbelina started to lose him and had to speed up to not lose him.
Swizz could see the house in the distance and hear the cries of someone. He rounded the corner as his eyes widened. Minty was on the ground yelling as the murderer took her candy cane sword and plunged it into Minty's stomach. Minty let out a single whimper before glitching one time and staying silent. The crazy look left Swizz's eyes and he dropped the knife. Why? It wasn't Minty. I was wrong. How could I not figured that Minty was innocent? I should have seen this. I'm normally so smart. How could I not realize that it was her?
The murderer smiled and pulled out her sword. "Oh hello Swizz." She stated as she wiped off her sword. "You look surprised to see me." She said with a creepy smile. "Expecting someone else?" He shook his head. "Don't worry, you were not the only one."
She heard footsteps coming closer and closer. She moved closer to Swizz and picked up his knife. He was still in too much shock to do or say anything. Crumblina rounded the corner to find the murderer shoving a knife, Swizz's knife, into her stomach. She fell to the ground with the knife still in her stomach. "I wouldn't take that out now." The murderer cooed. Crumbelina winced and nodded.
"Now Swizz," The murderer said and turned toward him. "I'm so glad you're here." She murmured as she brushed his cheek. He said nothing as the girl with bright eyes stared straight at him. "I knew you would figure out that it was me, Minty Sakura, who murdered your friends."
"Why me? Not Gloyd or Rancis?" Swizz stuttered. "Pumpkinhead doesn't take anything seriously enough to be in a relationship. Mr. I'm sexy and I know it was an arrogent fool who should only be with that taffy sheep." She moved closer and whispered in his ear, "No, I want you. You remembered that I'm even part of this game. I heard when you asked which Minty. All the others would just think Minty Zaki."
"That's why you killed her." "Very good." She said with a smile.
"How did you figure out about Adorabeezle and me?" Swizz asked.
"That you're dating? Swizz, all it took was a GPS on your kart to see that you were going there a lot." Swizz's face turned into a sour expression "Swizz, stop looking so upset. I was only blaming you so you would find me and realize how perfect we are together. I know more about you than any other racer here."
"That's true." Swizz stammered. "Why Candlehead though? Why did you kill her?" Swizz's said as his shock slowly faded into cruelty.
"Waxbrain was practice for the others. Plus no one would figure out who did it." She circled Swizz like a love sick shark. "So what did you think of Prettyboy's statue?"
"I didn't like that it was in front of my stands. I didn't like all the other racers blaming me for crimes that you committed. I didn't like that they had Crumbelina follow me here. I don't like how you think that I'm in love with you." Swizz stated calmly.
"First, I told you why I had to blame you and why I murdered those people. I can't do anything about the other racers. Last, you do love me, you're just in denial about it. That's why you were with the freezer burn girl. You were just trying to make me jealous by being with the other girls."
"No." Swizz said and pushed her away from him. His eyes widened. He had just pushed a known murderer, now what was she going to do?
"Oh Swizz. It's okay, I know you love me even if I make you crazy. That's why you were going to kill yourself right? You ate a piece of your jacket and then silt your wrist so you wouldn't regenerate, right?"
He backed up slowly without realizing it. A murderer is in love with me. How will I ever get rid of this psychopath?
"I know why you're here Swizz." She whispered in his ear. "You came to find me. So now you found me. What are you going to do?"
His eyes turned to see Crumbelina still in a ball by the side of the house and the knife he could have used to defend himself was still in her stomach. "Nothing." He said. He didn't know what else to do.
She reached out hand slowly toward him and grabbed him. He stood there as she pulled him closer to her. Suddenly her lips were on his. It was one thing that he hadn't expected.
"Stop right there!" cried the two most famous donut cops in Sugar Rush.
Minty Sakura turned around as Swizz moved over toward Crumbelina. "Are you okay?" He asked her and she gave a weak nod. He looked up to all the Sugar Rush racers standing there and trying to decided which person to arrest. "Someone! Crumbelina needs help. She was stabbed by Minty Sakura. Ask her."
Nougetsia, who acted as the doctor in Sugar Rush which caused her not to be on the roster much, came over. "Is this true Crumbelina?" She asked. Crumbelina nodded. "Arrest her!" Nougetsia cried and pointed to Minty Sakura.
The two donut cops came over and handcuffed her numerous times. She stood their with a smile on her face. "Come with us to the fungeon." They said as they began to pull her away.
"I have I one thing to say to Swizz before you take me away."
"Fine." They said as they pushed her toward him.
"I'm disappointed in you Swizz. You seem to think that it's over now that I'm arrested. I thought you were smarter than that."
The donuts pulled her away as Swizz cried out. "What do you mean?"
"Do you really think I was murdering the racers alone?"
They took her away as Swizz turned to look at the racers and noticed that one racer was missing. "Does anyone know where Gloyd is?" He asked.
"He was with me at Deli-cious." Vanellope said.
"Ok." He said and began running toward the center of Sugar Rush.
"Wait where are you going?" Vanellope called and pulled up in her kart.
"Gloyd might be in danger. There's been two murders per night so he must be next."
"Okay. We'll go there together."
"Okay." Swizz said and got into her kart. They sped off toward the restaurant.
"I feel so bad." Vanellope said as they drove. "I left him there alone. I feel so bad, especially if something bad happens to him..." Swizz turned to see Vanellope looking straight ahead with deep set eyes. She looked tired and sad, something that she hadn't looked like since they had stopped bullying her and especially not since the party. He wanted to comfort her and tell her that Gloyd would be okay but that might be a lie.
He was feeling bad enough that Gloyd, his best friend might be gone and it was his fault for not figuring out who the murderer or now murderers were sooner. "Don't feel too bad. I didn't figure out the murderer soon enough and I should have prevented those murders."
"Sounds like we might have another murderer soon so just start thinking about who it could be." Swizz nodded and they drove on.
However when they got there it was too late. The shop with dirty and messy. The murderer had taken the butcher knife used it to slice the owners of the shop. There were sandwichs littered around the restaurant made with ham and cheese from the owners. Gloyd was nowhere to be found but the backdoor was open.
Swizz made his way to the back followed closely by Vanellope. She was hoping to find Gloyd alive but her stomach felt like she had just chugged a gallon of soda so that wasn't likely. Swizz pushed open the door and walked outside.
Lying off to the side on his back was Gloyd. He had been gagged with gummy worm wrapped in a candy wrapper around his mouth. He had blood spots on his clothes where the murderer had sliced him and there were long cuts on his cheeks. His cheerful hat had been carved with the words, 'You're too late.' Vanellope knelt down next to him and touched Gloyd's cheek, where she had just kissed him a little while ago. The normally strong President of Sugar Rush began to cry. "Why Gloyd? Why did this psycho choose the guy in Sugar Rush that I had a crush on?" She cried and Swizz stood their unsure what to do or say to the President.
He stood there in mourning for his friend and comfort for the crying President. "We'll find who did this."
"Huh?" She asked
"We'll find the other murderer. I promise."
