☆ Town of Salem ☆

[ NIGHT TWO ]

Smarty's View

Once I entered my house, the sky immediately went from a light blue to a dark, eery grey. The night has arrived. I sighed deeply and ran my fingers through my messy hair, all this stress was starting to get to me and we were only on day two! I looked down at the chart of names I had, each with a number beside their name so I could know their house number. My house number was eight, Chilled's was nine and Galm's was two. As for Ze...he was house number seven, but now that he's gone his house in empty. 

I clicked my tongue, "Who the hell am I supposed to help today, Chilled? Galm? Minx? Ohm? Who?!" I shouted, yanking at my hair.

Whoever I choose to protect today could be my best decision, or worst. I need to make the right choice or else I'll bring everyone down with me. That's something I can't have, not anymore. I won't have anyone else die on me. Choose now, Smarty. I looked over to the right, glancing at my clock that was ticking away. I was running out of time, I need to choose now!

I shook my head and opened my will, scribbling who I would be visiting today. I'm sorry, I can't have him die on me too. I grabbed my medical supplies and ran out the door, sweating bullets as I made my way over to the house of the person I was going to aid for the night. Let's hope I made a good choice. 

~*~ Smarty's Will: Doctor ~*~

N1- Went to heal Chilled, just in case.

N2- Again, healed Chilled. I'm sorry.

~*~ At Chilled's house ~*~

"Thank god you're here!" Chilled exclaimed, throwing his arms around me.

I smiled gently and wrapped my arms around him just as quickly, "Yeah, I'm here, man." I said, patting his back before backing away. 

Chilled backed up with a grin on his face, but it slowly faded away as soon as he saw the expression on my face. He frowned and rose an eyebrow, "Smarty, what's wrong? Did something happen? Do you know something?" He asked. 

I shook my head and sighed, running my fingers through my hair angrily. "I... I really don't know, Chilled. I'm just stressed out about this whole thing, all this murder going around!" I shouted, baring my teeth. "I mean it's only been one day and we already lost one of closest friends. Man, if I went to help Ze yesterday, he would still be alive and here with us." 

"Smarty..." Chilled muttered, holding his hand out.

"It's my fucking fault he's dead now! If I had made the right choice he would be here by your side!" I shouted. 

"Smarty!" He shouted, grabbing a hold of my shoulders. He shook me back and forth rapidly, the dark image of Ze's pale, dead face appearing in my mind. "Snap out of it!"

My face flew to the side, a stinging pain filled my right cheek. I stared at Chilled, shocked he laid a hand on me, but I knew I deserved it. It was my fault that his crush, the one guy he loved died. However, no matter how many times I blamed it on myself, I knew Chilled wouldn't want me to accept the truth. He's trying to keep me sane in this damn town. 

"Smarty, you know it's not your fault. It had to be done." He said, smiling sadly. "It was... It was o-only a matter of time till Z-Ze d-died."

"I know, I know... I-I'm sorry." I said, apologizing quickly. "Let's just get to our jobs, okay?" 

He nodded and smiled at me, "Alright, well... I'll be in my room looking into someone's profile today. If you need anything, come talk to me."  He said.

"Got it." I said, watching Chilled walk into his room where he would begin his sheriff duties. 

Sighing loudly, I walked over to his couch and plopped down, the couch creaking with my weight being added upon it. Now, all I have and need to do is wait till morning comes.

Let's see who dies tonight.

~

"Smarty!" Chilled's voice resounded throughout his house as he came running out of his room. "I found something!"

I jumped up from my spot on the couch and grinned madly, "What is it?" I asked eagerly.

He hesitated, "Well, I think I may have found member of the mafia." He said, fiddling with a paper on his hand. "But, I don't think you're going to like who it is."

I frowned and snatched the paper out of his hand, jaw dropping at the name and photo. "No way..." I gasped, shaking my head. "She couldn't be a member of the mafia, right? I mean, she's married for God's sake, Chilled! Why would she be a mafia member when she's married to Krism?!"

Chilled shrugged his shoulders with a shake of his head, "I have no idea, Smarty. But being the sheriff of this town, I have the authority to check people's personal information, and when I looked into Minx, I discovered that she handled weapons. " He explained, "There's a possible chance she could a vig or vet, but I highly doubt that seeing I know Nanners is a vig..."

My eyes widened, "Nanners is a vig?" I asked, dumbfounded. "Was... -Did he kill Ze?"

Chilled shook his head, "A vig isn't allowed to use their weapon on the first day, it's a rule. The only possible way for that to happen is if there was a witch, in which there isn't." He stated.

I muttered a small apology, "I see..." I said, grimacing at the photo of a smiling, beautiful girl named Minx. "But, do you believe it's her?"

Chilled bit his lip, "No...No I'm not. I actually believe it's not Minx." He said, grabbing the paper and shoving it in his pocket.

Chilled walked over to the front door, staring up at the sky. The town's bell rung. It was morning and yet another cruel day. I grabbed all my medical supplies and hid them so I wouldn't be targeted by any mafia member or serial killer. 

"Smarty..." Chilled said, squeezing the doors frame tightly.

"...Yeah?" I asked.

"I know this might be a mistake, but you can never be too sure when it comes to the Mafia. Even the kindest people have a patch of darkness overriding their heart." He said, walking out.

I stared at his fading figure, my mouth hung open in shock. This was hard to say, hard to think about, but what Chilled just said is something I can agree with completely. There's a possible chance that all those people we see as kind are the true evil ones here. Grabbing my belongings, I ran out Chilled's house and examined the center of town. There was a bunch of people still here, from what I could tell no one died, right?

"We have two dead over here!" Entoan shouted with Dlive by his side.

I ran along to the scene with the rest of the town, we were all interested to see who died during the night. There was tons of whispers going around, mainly from the people who already had the chance to see who died. 

"Can you believe it? We already lost one of our important town members!"

"I heard the Mafia is to blame..."

"Those two didn't deserve to die."

I pushed through the crowd, I spotted Chilled just ahead. "Chilled! Who was it this...time..." I trailed off, seeing Minx sobbing over a body. 

Oh god...

"Krism! Why you? Why now?!" She screamed, kissing her dead wife's lips that were a pale, sick color. "I-I love you, K-Krism..."

"Get away from her you evil bitch!" Someone shouted, shoving Minx away from Krism.

Krism's pale body rolled to the side, that's when I noticed the bullet wound on her side. I glared at the wound, anger boiling inside of me. Mafia. I didn't have to check and make sure, I knew it couldn't be a vig, vet, or anyone else. It was a member of the Mafia, I have no doubt about it now. 

"Hey, stop it, Entoan!" Dlive shouted, grabbing Entoan by his arms.

"What's with you?!" Minx yelled, standing up with her fists clenched together tightly. "I just had my wife die and when I speak my final words to her, you come up to me and push her away from me?! You can go fuck yourself, Entoan! Let me be with my wife for a few seconds!"

Entoan squirmed around in Dlive's arms, "You mean the wife you killed, huh Minx?! I know what you did!" He shouted.

Everyone and including myself froze, "Wh-What are you saying? I didn't kill Krism if that's what you're getting too! I would never do such a thing!" She shouted, biting her lip roughly.

Galm walked over beside me and smiled, "It seems like we may have found a Mafia member, don't you agree, Smarty?" Galm said, causing me to shiver. 

I nodded slowly, "I think so..." I said, frowning widely. 

Galm sighed and smiled, "Sadly, Krism isn't the only one who died. Look..." He said, grabbing my hand and leading me elsewhere.

I blushed at the sudden contact he had with me. This was the first time Galm has ever touched me, better yet held my hand! It... It was really a dream come true. If only I could tell him how I felt...

"See." He said, moving out of the way to reveal ChimneySwift's body. 

I shook my head, "God dammit, if this keeps going at this rate, the whole town is going to die in no time." I stated, bending down to his body. "Who could have done this..."

Galm removed Chimney's sweater and jacket, "I don't think I would be so down, read the will." He said, nodding his head over in the direction Chimney's will lied.

I grabbed the will and unfolded it, reading it with curiosity.

Chimney's Will: Framer

N1- framed that bitch Cathy
N2- framed ---

I pinched the bridge of my nose, "Fuck, man. He was nothing but a pesky framer." I chuckled, "At least that's one Mafia member down."

"It looked like he was killed by a vig or vet, there's a bullet hole in his chest." He told me, raising an eyebrow. "Do you know who the vig or vet is?"

I didn't show a sign that I knew exactly who the vig was. It was very weird and...sudden that Galm was asking me this. Why would he want to know?

I shook my head, "No... I really wish I did though. You know, so I could thank them for getting a bad person killed..." I said, laughing lightly.

Galm laughed along with me and smiled madly. I smiled just as widely, but with a dark blush coating my cheeks. Maybe I should tell him how I feel.

"Galm--" I started, only to be cut off by the town's bell.

It was judgment time.

"Hold on, Smarty. Tell me later, right now we need to go and decide if we want to lynch someone." He said, walking off.

I frowned. I'll...I'll wait then. I followed Galm and stood in front of my house, exactly like all the others.

"So, who are we lynching today, and are we even lynching?" Gassy asked.

Entoan rose his hand, "I say Minx, she killed Krism!" He shouted, glaring at Minx.

I but in, "Entoan, how are you so sure about this?" I asked.

"First off, Krism was a investigator, an important role to our town. It's only a matter of time till the Mafia target the invest, but how in the world would anyone know that Krism was invest?" He said, clapping sarcastically. "Well, only someone dear and close to the invest would obviously know such a thing, and that person being Minx."

"He has a good point." Mr. Sark added.

"I agree." Ohm said.

Cathy smiled, "Then it's settled." She said.

"We're lynching Minx today." Nanners added.

Minx gasped and shook in fear, "C'mon, guys! You can't really believe it's me!" She shouted.

Entoan smirked, "I'm pretty sure I know my facts Minx, you're a member of the Mafia." He stated.

Minx hung her head and shook, I felt bad for her. She was about to get killed, but she did deserve it. I just held the thought that no one deserved to die...no matter what they did.

"Hahahahaha!" Minx burst out in laughter as she held her stomach. "My god, I can't believe you managed to catch me this quickly! And I thought you were all fools, man was I wrong!"

Dlive and Jack dragged Minx up to the middle, wrapping a rope around her neck as she stood on a box. I can't believe Minx was evil...

Minx's eyes were wide in insanity, she laughed evilly. "I admit it, I killed Krism! She knew too much, I had to kill her!" She shouted, tears streaming down her face. "She had to go."

We all stayed silent and rose our hands if we thought she was guilty, everyone rose their hands, including those her were her own friends. Gassy looked at me and nodded, I nodded back at him. Gassy walked over to Minx and kicked the box from underneath her.

"Krism, I always loved y-you!"
