Chapter 12 - A new motive

Stevie yawned as she woke up, curled against Teri's side and with Monoyagi asleep on her chest. She was always a bit confused by that, did robots need sleep?

That brought up another thought Stevie had been having. The Mastermind had to be controlling Monoyagi... Right? She was just so... So... Alive? For a robot, she seemed to have so much personality. Either that or whoever trapped them here has access to pretty impressive technology.

The sound of knocking broke Stevie out of her thoughts as well as the sound of a very familiar voice.

"Ma chère? Are you awake?"

Ray! Stevie slowly moved Monoyagi onto the bed and she got up, hurrying to the door.

"I'll be out in a minute." Stevie told him before she went to get changed.

She pulled on some leggings and a blue hoodie before meeting Ray outside.

"Hi." Stevie smiled as she looked up at him.

"Good morning, ma chère." Ray took her hand,"Did you sleep well?"

Stevie nodded, trying to control her blushing face. Ray smirked and began to chuckle.

"H-hey! It's not funny." Stevie shook her head.

"Oh, but it is." He began leading her to the kitchen,"Come, we can make breakfast together."

Stevie smiled as they walked. Together, they arrived in the kitchen and began preparing a breakfast of eggs and toast.

One by one, everyone began arriving for breakfast and the group gathered to eat. Stevie stood, washing the dishes, although she took note of some things.

Scott wasn't eating a lot and both Scorpius and Dimitri were trying to comfort him. He must still be upset about... That. At least he still had two good friends to rely on.

Jeff and Akira were having a conversation and for once, Jeff didn't seem annoyed. They actually seemed to be smiling slightly as they listened to Akira's story about moths.

Jay was practically asleep at the table, her face resting against a book but Teri seemed to be trying to make conversation while Daiko sat and watched. Jay didn't seem to be bothered, probably because she was tired.

Yūrei was sat quietly, their spiritual wings glowing slightly in the dim kitchen and Sancia was beside them, looking like she wanted to talk to them.

That's when Monoyagi bolted in, seemingly a bit disorganized which made Dimitri and Ray chuckle.

"The hell happened to you, Momogoat?" Ray questioned.

"I was napping!" Monoyagi pointed before clearing her throat and taking out a bundle of envelopes.

That's when Jay looked up,"What the hell are those?"

"Well... My long nap let me think of a cool, new motive for you all!" Monoyagi announced,"Contained in these here envelopes are your deepest, darkest secrets!"

"H-how could you k-know anything about us?" Sancia questioned.

"Don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing." Ash assured her.

"Are you sure?" Monoyagi chuckled before throwing the envelopes into the air.

It took only a few moments for the group to grab their envelopes, each with their names on them written with beautiful detail. Strange.

Stevie opened her's and read it.

'Stevie had a job at a Maid Café when she was fourteen so she could provide for herself and siblings'

That... Stevie studied the words. This was her darkest secret? So what if she worked some place underage? She'd never kill because of it. Nobody's can be that bad, right?

Stevie looked up from her envelope and at those around her... She was baffled by the shock and horror on some faces... What had these people done?

"Have fun!" Monoyagi disappeared.

"Goodbye, Teddy McHomicide." Ray called after her.

"Well, I'll go too. I'm not that hungry." Jeff got up.

"Bye not that hungry, I'm Ray." He winked.

"You just love testing my patience, don't you?" Jeff groaned, looking at Ray.

"No, I'm just ticking everyone off so I can finally die and get the hell out of here." Ray chuckled.

"Not gonna happen, mister." Stevie pointed.

"Well, if you won't kill me... You know what I'll do and you can't do a thing about it, ma chère, not a single thing." Ray smirked.

"Watch me." She crossed her arms.

Ray rolled his eyes,"I would say challenge accepted, except you aren't a challenge. You're merely a stepping stone on my way to death. You can't stop the inevitable. Why can't I die anyway? Who the hell cares if I die?"

"I care." Stevie pointed,"And Daiko and Akira care as well. There. That's three."

"Can everyone just slow the fuck down and eat their food?" Kirari muttered.

"You... Akira owes me so if I tell her not to care, she won't and Daiko will get over it. That guy has seen shit he shouldn't have." Ray countered.

"You can't make me not care." Stevie told him.

"Oh my god! Ray, please stop. No death talk at the fucking table. We just got a motive!" Kirari pointed.

"First off, Kira, no naughty words around your beloved one, not a good move." Ray began, looking between Kirari and Ash.

Ash's face reddened and Kirari became quiet, suddenly quite flustered by Ray's comment.

Ray then turned back to Stevie,"Second, buddy ol' pal, why do you care? Caregiver my ass, I haven't done anything to help you! I may have given you trauma rather than helping you. So why?!"

"Because I want to!" Stevie raised her voice.

The room went quiet and Ray left, not saying another word. Stevie looked away... She thought Ray and her were getting closer. Maybe not...
