Leafy's PoV

Hello!

I'm annoyed!

No jokes, I'm really annoyed.

Firey told me he liked me after the first accusation, and me, not wanting to upset him, said I liked him back.

But I actually like someone else...

Never you mind who it is, the point is that I'ma bit sick of being in love with someone I don't love.

Right now, I'm in my room, messing with my hair.

But I'm bored.

And annoyed obviously...

A walk should do me some good!

Yeah! I'll do that!

Third person PoV

Ruby dragged Lightning back up the steep staircase, her drowsiness tearing at her.

As the stairs creaked under their feet, one was in serious thought.

To be honest, Lightning didn't really want to reveal the backstory of him being attacked to a hungover person, but there was literally nobody else he could trust.

Or so he thought...

They reached her room, Ruby opening the door.

"G-Go ahead, t-take a s-seat..." she insisted, pointing at a chair, Lightning obeying.

She sat herself down on her bed, forming steeple hands with her fingers.

"S-So, w-what did h-he/sh-she l-look like?"

Lightning paused.

Was he really about to reveal this?

He sighed, before finally replying.

"Well, it was wearing a hood so I couldn't see any facial features, but it had a masculine voice, and was around medium height."

Ruby nodded slowly, before asking "Ok, w-what d-did it t-try t-to k-kill you w-with?"

"A-An axe." Lightning shakily answered, shuddering at the thought of the red and silver blade hurling at his body parts around what felt like 100 times.

"A-Anything e-else y-you might r-remember?"

"N-Not anything too s-serious."

A silence.

"W-Well! I g-g-guess I'm g-going to go n-now, m-maybe t-tell some p-people 'bout this." Ruby stated, getting up to go.

But a hand forbid her from doing so.

Lightning's hand.

"Don't..."

"Don't W-What?" Ruby unusually chuckled, puzzled.

"Don't t-tell them about this. P-Please."

Ruby was now even more confused, wouldn't it be ok if she told them?

"Urr...           w-why?" The once drunk now weak girl questioned.

Lightning was flabbergasted at her obliviousness. Though, he couldn't lie - he was talking to Ruby after all.

"Because, because because, Ruby, do you think the killer is among us?"

"W-Well, duh."

"And what would happen if you told them?"

Ruby mentally facepalmed. She should've known that if she did tell them, the killer would know about this eventually, and then kill BOTH her and Lightning.

But now it's just Lightning with a death sentence...

"O-Oh sugar, s-silly m-me. I f-forgot a-about th-this g-game w-we're in." Ruby embarrassingly admitted.

"So, let's compromise," Lightning suggested, though it seemed more like an order.

Ruby just nodded, worried about herself and the young man in front of her.

"If you do tell them, I'll kill you, and if I tell them, you kill me. How's that?"

Ruby stood there, mortified.

Kill someone innocent when she wasn't the killer?

And risk her own life at the same?

It made her fucking sick.

The only thing that came out her frail mouth was "f-fine.."

She just made a deal of death.

Shit.

"Ok, good..." Lightning slyly replied.

Ruby's minuscule body was shaking slightly from what she just did.

"Oh, and remember by the way."

"R-R-Remember w-what?"

"That this stays between us, and only us..." Lightning half-threatened, pointing two fingers at his faint green eyes, then at Ruby's raspberry red ones to emphasise the point.

Ruby carved that in her mind, which was now a little bit clearer.

"W-Well, b-bye I g-guess?"

"Sayonara." Lightning smiled, acting like what happened before was completely irrelevant.

Ruby shakily forced her legs to walk her out the room, horrified and amazed at how the situation turned so fast.

Lightning wasn't really the type to make these kind of deals.

Wait.

Did Lightning lie?

Meaning he's the killer?

It would make a bit of sense, considering the mood swings that occurred in him...

Ruby was about to charge off to tell the others her theory, but then she remembered.

If she did tell them, Lightning would kill her.

The thought was still stuck in her head though.

But then again, if Lightning told anyone about it she would have to kill him.

So it's even stevens, in a way.

Ruby continued calmly along the hallway for quite a while.

Until she heard a scream.

Flower's PoV

"What time did Ruby get up?" I wonder to myself.

Last night, stuff got a bit...

Heated. Between us.

So, I kinda want to talk to her about that...

I heard someone come downstairs.

Not bothering to check who it was, I kept my thoughts on Ruby.

"Flower? Everything good?"

Realising it was Lightning, I turned in my chair to face him.

"Yeah, I'm just wondering, what time did Ruby get up?" I croaked, my voice scratchy.

Lightning replied, "I had a talk with her around 1, so I'm guesing she got up near 12?"

Damn. Ruby must have chugged half the wine that was there.

I was also hungover, but definitely not as much as Ruby.

"Ok, I was just wondering y'know. I really do care for Ruby, she's my only proper frie-"

A scream sounded out.

Thats terrible news.

The source of it came from somewhere in the kitchen.

We both turned our heads towards the continuous pleads and crys for help.

"Stay here Flower." Lightning seemingly forced.

"I d-don't want to Lightning. I've changed. I'm not all fashion addict anymore."

"Thats not what I meant..." He replied with slight disbelief, the screams getting weaker.

It was so much.

Too much for me to handle.

I tried to charge there, but Lightning jumped up, wraping his arms around my chest and under my armpits, holding me back.

"FLOWER NO!"

"LIGHTNING WHY DO YOU FUCKING CARE!? SOMEONE IS FUCKING DYING! POSSIBLY TWO PEOPLE!" I yelled, squirming around trying to free myself of the prison that was his arms.

"WELL IM THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY CARES ABOUT EVERYBODY!! IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED BY THE MURDERER BIG FUCKING DEAL! I JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE KILLING THEMSELFS, FOR BETTER OR WORSE!!" He mindlessly yelled back.

That shook me up, but it also gave me the opportunity to wedge his arms apart, releasing me from his grip.

I pratically lanched myself towards the doorway, Lightning quickly following me.

When I got through it, I saw two people.

Cake, who was blindfolded, and mindlessly swinging a metal ladle around him.

And Eggy...

Limp on the floor...

Bleeding yolk gold blood from every joint in her, her more pale yellow hair driping with the liquid, her clothes stained all over.

Third person PoV

Flower trotted towards the belived dead girl, grabbed her right hand and wiggled her arm.

It moved like cooked spaghetti. Her bones were broken to the point you could call it a powder.

There was no denial that Eggy was dead.

Flower sighed in sorrow.

Meanwhile, Ruby was rushing to the kitchen, despite being power stripped.

She reached the stairs, and suddenly tripped on the side of the banister.

The hungover mess that was Ruby went flying down the staircase, smacking most the steps until the bottom, where her body slapped the ground with an unnecessarily satisfying sound.

With what energy she had left, she saw Flower in the kitchen doorway, focusing her eyes on her.

She hopped up tiredly, and limped over to the doorway. When she got there, Lightning had calmed Cake's swinging fit and was now trying to undo the blindfold.

When he finally got it off, Cake wriggled out Lightning's grip and made fists.

"WHAT DID YOU DO YOU PSYCHOPATHIC-" He froze when he saw Eggy's cracked body on the floor.

Flower stood up, and the four of them just stared at it.

"E-Egg s-salad a-anyone?" Ruby half-joked.

The other three just glared at Ruby.

"W-What?"
