Panic! Panic! Panic!
***Becky's POV***
"----They're after the enchanted flint and steel----!"
With a scream, Sparklez's chair fell backwards, tossing our leader into a secret pit! Sand fell from the ceiling, falling into the pit Sparklez was in! Immediately I was to my feet, running towards the trap to dig Sparklez out. The lights went out, causing Stampy to scream, "Panic panic panic panic panic panic-!!!!!"
"What just happened?!"
"Stampy! Pull yourself together!"
"Panic panic panic panic panic panic!"
"I can't see!"
"Sparklez!"
I grabbed whoever ran into me, causing us to stumble; luckily, we fell into Dan who helped us stay upright. "Turn on the lights! Quick!" Jesse yelled. In a spooky fashion, Pumpkin laterns turned on, casting the room in an errie blue glow. I noticed I was hugging Stampy, the orange hoodie wearing YouTuber trembling in my arms. I held Stampy close, not because StampyCat is adorable, but because I was scarred myself....
A terrifying edgy voice boomed out, "Greetings, 'Adventurers'!" Everyone stared at a painting of someone wearing a White Pumpkin on their head, the voice introducing itself, "I..... AM THE WHITE PUMKPIN!!!!" People jumped when Sparklez inventory floated to the top of the sand pit; StampyCat was shaking uncontrollably. The White Pumpkin continued to speak, "One of you has the treasure I desire and I will not rest until it's mine!" Sparklez inventory was sucked down a hopper, The White Pumpkin concluding, "Even if I have to resort......
TO MURDER!!!!!!"
The lights went out, then back on, revealing the White Pumpkin hiding behind it's picture! StampyCat escaped my grasp, running around as he screamed, "More panicking! More panicking!" "The White Pumpkin?!" Lizzie squeaked, Cassie crying out, "I'm too cute to die!" The lights went out for a third time, turning back on to reveal the White Pumpkins picture where it once hung. I gulped as Dan exclaimed in an alarm tone, "They killed Sparklez! They KILLED Sparklez!"
Stampy, in a panic, screamed something no one understand, running around frantically. Lukas called after Stampy, "Woah, hang on! Hang on!" Stacy panicked, "This is aweful! Terrible!" "Who was that guy?!" Cassie exclaimed. Dan added in alarm, "And there's no such thing as 'white pumpkins'!" "Tell that to the White Pumpkins hanging all over the place!" StampyCat skidded to a halt before running again. Cassie sat down and hugged her knees to her chest, crying, "I don't like it! I really don't like it!"
Jesse sadly stared at the trap that killed our leader, stating, "Man, poor Sparklez...." Cassie and Winslow ran out; Lizzie and I managed to grab Stampy so he couldn't accidentally set off a trap or get hurt. Cassie's screams caused everyone to run out of the dining room and into the front lobby. I gasped when I noticed Cassie backing away from the opened door, shaking as she backed away from the oncoming zombies.
There was NO WAY I was gonna stand by and let someone else die! Not on my watch! I ran forward, pulling my bow and arrow out of my inventory. Winslow hissed at the zombies as I took aim and fired, killing one Zombie, then another. I stepped in front of Cassie and Winslow,shooting as quickly as I could. Jesse ran over and switch a lever, closing the door before any other Zombies could get in. I sighed in relief and put my bow away. Cassie picked up her cat, "C'mere Winslow.... Don't be scared...." Cassie nodded a thanks to me, I nodding right back to her.
"So we're stuck here," Cassie fearfully complained, "And if we're stuck in here.... We're all doomed!" I felt Ari land on my shoulder, chirping nervously over Captain Sparklez's death. I don't blame Ari; Sparklez was the one who helped me tame Ari after all.... *Sigh* poor Sparklez......
Lizzie, Stacy, Dan and StampyCat sadly walked over to us, sitting down on chairs. People stayed quiet for a while, most likely mourning Sparklez death. Stacy inquired, "I thought I heard Sparklez say something about flint and steel?" Pacing around, Stampy begged, "Oh, please don't bring that up again!" Lizzie pointed out, "Well, obviously TorqueDawg didn't steal it." Jesse inquired, "Okay, but WHO then?" "Uh, Jesse?" Lukas called out, looking at the red X over Captain Sparklez portrait.
I nervously pet Ari's feathery body as I mumbled, "Oh great, that's definitely not good!" Cassie, Lizzie, Stacy, Dan, StampyCat and I huddled together, whispering and wondering over the whole ordeal. "Okay, people, clear out! This is a crime scene!" Ivor declared. Jesse and Lukas went back into the dimly lit dining room, while Petra and Ivor stayed with us. Honestly, I feel better that we have Petra and Ivor watching over us; we don't want the White Pumpkin hurting anyone else....
An uneasy idea settled in my stomach, forcing me to eye my friends differently. What if....? No, I couldn't think any less of my friends!..... But...... What if......? What if one of us, one of my friends, IS the White Pumpkin? I don't want to think of that possibility, but it's something I can't overlook..... People jumped when we heard the White Pumpkins voice filter from the dining room! Almost immediately, everyone was on their feet and running back into the dining room. I mentally began praying, hoping that Jesse and Lukas were okay.
"Jesse!" Petra yelled as we ran into the dining room, hurrying over to Jesse and Lukas. StampyCat jumped back and screamed, "He's back! The White Pumpkins back!" Before everyone could start panicking again, Jesse corrected, "Don't worry everyone! It's just a dummy; a White Pumpkin costume on an armor stand." "What? Why?" Dan asked, even as I sighed, "Thank God!" Jesse walked over to us, revealing, "The trap that killed Sparklez, the whole show with the White Pumpkin--- it was all triggered by a button on the table."
Surprised, Lizzie asked, "But.... What does that mean?" Dan looked really nervous as Stacy complained, "I an SOOOO creeped out right now." StampyCat looked back to Stacy, "Understandably!" I nodded my head, "Yeah..... Same..... Though I have to admit, this would make a pretty good book..... Heck, maybe even a video game!"
What Jesse spoke next shook everyone to our cores : "It means that the White Pumpkin sat at this very table and pushed the button." StampyCat echoed everyone's thoughts with his question, "Wait, so you're saying that the White Pumpkin.... Is one of us?!" Jesse nodded firmly, "That's right, Mr. Stampy. One of us.... Is a murderer!"
