Cyrus' cold eyes bore into yours. "Y/n.. I know what you're thinking, but keep in mind as to what everyone was doing at the time of the death..."

He pauses, arms locked at his sides, as he let out a hum.

"It could not have been Fear, you were clinging to him once the power had went out. Isn't that right?"

You nod, tears threatening to fall as you looked at the pile of dust once again.

Cyrus turned you away from the dust, his hands on your shoulders.

"Cupid may have had a motive, after all, he and Hallow have had a vendetta for years. And he was sitting before the power went out. Yet, he was standing once it came back on, he was the first to find the body."

Cyrus closes his eyes, humming again.

"But if you think about it, Cupid would never do something like that. The obvious choice is Amour, however he wasn't in the same room as us all, was he?"

You shook your head.

"Creator, Romeo, Coby, and Jasper were all absent from the living room. Creator was in her office, and by default Amour is always by her side. And as you may know, he does not have any violent intentions while he has the blindfold on."

Cyrus wiped one of your tears away, his hand was oddly warmer than usual.

"Hallow was killed with a kitchen knife, we all know if it was Amour, it would have been his lucky blade, not a standard kitchen knife... Lockheart and Cupid were the only ones in the kitchen this morning..."

Cyrus sat you down on the couch, rubbing circles on your back to calm you.

"It is only us in this house, I have the mansion on lockdown. Meaning no one could have gotten in or out to kill Hallow."   He pauses taking in a breath.

"It had to have been someone who could see in the dark, yet someone small so that they could fit behind the Hallow and attack him.. "

He tucks your hair behind your ear.

".....Who could have done this? Who would have wanted to kill the vampire in cold blood? All questions shall be answered in do time.. All that I know is.."

Cyrus' eyes click and glow a deep blue. "Is that this investigation isn't over."

.................... ........

.......... "So... What are your theories?"  Cyrus chuckles, hand under your your chin.
