Chapter 3
Green POV
I could never get a vacation can I? Once I'm out of here, I'm really gonna need a soft bed to sleep on.
My surroundings include many Imposters hanging around in this place.
I slowly began to walk along with Glitchy and stay cautious. As I pass by, many of them start to give me a dirty looks.
I got nervous and put my head down more so they won't notice me.
We continued walking and I felt a tug on my pants knowing it was Glitchy. I look at him and saw he rubbed his belly as a gesture he was hungry.
I shook my head no at him,"No, there's no time to be eating food right now. If anything, we have to be extremely lucky to find that Indigo guy and- ACK!"
I yelped when I bump into something. I rub my eyes (helmet?) and groan before looking up.
My body sent stiff after seeing what was in front of me. It was Indigo, and I just bumped into his back.
He slowly turn around and look down at me with an intimidating expression.
I realized I was staring and I quickly stepped away,"O-oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you haha.." I laughed awkwardly.
Still, he only just stared at me. I was starting to feel uneasy but then Glitchy stepped up in front of me.
He started to open his mouth and hiss at him to intimidate him.
Cute, but not the plan we are trying to have!
"No stop! Don't be disrespectful!" I bent down and picked Glitchy up to hold him.
In response he just looked away as if he was ignoring me. I shook my head but remembered Indigo was still here.
"So..a mini sabotager?" He finally spoke.
I flinched a little at his words and nodded,"A-ah yes. This little monster right here is a killer." I exclaimed and pat Glitchy's head.
He remained quiet as he stood with his arms crossed. I gulped a little and spoke.
"Um sir..you know how to get up to the top floor of the building right? Do you mind if me and my little buddy go with you?"
Maybe asking politely will be able to convince him to help us hopefully.
Before he could respond I felt two hands grabbing both of my wrist making me drop Glitchy.
"W-what the? Hey!" I grunt when I saw two metal looking suit of people.
"Not so fast, you dare talk to our boss and we will make sure to punish you."
"Yeah! Can't wait to see you suffer endlessly!" The other one smiled wickedly.
Oh crap, did they find out I'm a Crewmate? Shit this can't be good. What do I do? Do I just run? Do I fight back?
"Enough." A dark voice spoke up.
I look at Indigo and the other two looked at him.
"But boss-"
"I said enough."
His words seem more aggressive as it continues on. The two twins let go of me and gave me a nasty look before leaving.
I blinked a couple of times and sighed in relief. Thought I was gonna die for a moment there.
I noticed that there were many eyes on us, I shift uncomfortably and try to ignore it.
Indigo seem to notice so he turn away from us and walked.
"Come."
Oh, uh okay. Seems like this is going well now. I couldn't help but wonder if my Crewmates are trying to look for us right now.
It's better not to..it's incredibly dangerous here and I don't want to risk losing them. It's the last thing I ever want.
After a bit of walking later, we were in a room that looked not so good but it's better than being out there.
I observed around carefully and made sure there was no here.
Ok..we seem to be good for now.
"You said you want to reach up to the top level floor?"
I look at Indigo and nodded.
He didn't say anything else. I stood there awkwardly and look to my side to see there was a sleeping bed. Once I turn back to my front I see Indigo closer from before.
I slowly step back and he continue to get closer to me. What is he doing?
I felt a wall behind me, meaning I'm cornered here. I look up at Indigo as he corner me closer.
I can't be exposed like this, I already made it so far.
"Now, why would I let you go with me to the top?" He questioned.
I was nervous as hell, I wasn't sure what to say really. Should I maybe bolt off? No, I must put on an act and stay strong.
I stood on my guard and stand tall, not letting this man punk me anymore.
I open my mouth to speak until an alarm went off causing me to look around in confusion.
"Emergency meeting. Come on."
Indigo walk past me and left the room. I watch him go and I quickly grab Glitchy and followed to keep up.
As I followed we headed into a big room, the table was in the middle and many imposters were surrounding it.
In confusion, I saw Indigo sat down at the end of the table. Clearly there was no other seat for me besides one next to him.
I sighed and quietly sat on the chair next to Indigo. Glitchy got off of my arms and hop on the table to get a better view.
Is this a...meeting?
"If we are here, then there must be a Crewmate among us." Indigo was the first one to spoke up.
A lot of Impostors hiss at the sound of 'Crewmate' oddly enough.
Oh crap, it can't be me they are looking for..right?
"I have seen a Crewmate!" One spoke up. I look at the light red suit person and noticed something.
They were a Crewmate! So there are others like me! Thank goodness..
"The Crewmate is..them!" They yelled and pointed at the blue Imposter.
Everyone looked at him with death glares and the Impostor shook his head,"It wasn't me! Hey- what are you doing? No!" He yelled as the group dragged him and throw him into a room.
There inside was many glowing eyes looking at them. Then, the door closed.
We don't get to really see what happens.
That's...very brutal.
Everyone was silent, until a screen pop up saying "Collin was not the Crewmate. 7 Crewmates remain."
There's seven of us? It's me included as well..
Indigo slowly glared at the light red suited person, making them more nervous.
"Um..well someone else here told me that they were the Crewmate, not me." They declared.
They started listing on the Imposters to call them out. I just sat there quietly, not knowing what to do other than go along.
But the good thing is that those Impostors were eliminated one by one.
I was really relieved to know that I wasn't alone, maybe it's possible to make it out if we try.
I look at Glitchy and saw that he was a little nervous. I pat him in the head nicely.
"We will be alright, okay?" I soothed.
Glitchy nodded and lean his head against my hand.
I know I never use to like Glitchy before. I was afraid that one day he would kill us all in any possible way.
After all, all Imposters are always the same..but I suppose not all like this little guy here. It's me and him against the world now.
"Enough! We can't keep eliminating the wrong person!" Indigo yelled angrily.
His words caught my attention so I quickly look up and saw Light Red panic a little.
"Wait! I finally know who it really is!" They yelled. I listened closely before they started to point directly at me.
"It is him!"
...what?
Don't they know that I'm in the same team? Are they that dumb?
Shit..I can't reveal myself to them, there are other Imposters here as well. I'll definitely die if I show my true identity.
I wasn't sure what to do or say. I can't let them rat me out like that..
I noticed Glitchy looking at me sadly and clinge to my arm.
Glitchy...
My hands turn into fist in rage. I couldn't let them get away like this. I HAVE to do something to protect myself and Glitchy.
I stood up and put my foot on the table to get a higher view.
"I OBJECT!" I yelled.
"You are certainly wrong here, I am not the Crewmate you're looking for."
Everyone's attention was on me now, I couldn't care less about the stares. All I needed to do was prove myself.
This was my time to rise as a leader. Of course I had meetings like this back at the spaceship. But it was mostly figuring out who is truly an Impostor.
"What if the Crewmates are PRETENDING to be like us?" I explained and one of the Imposters seem to whisper at each other .
"Now with that, all of us must show our tongues to prove we are not the Crewmates!"
Everyone look at each other as if they were discussing something. I quickly grab Glitchy without anyone noticing and put him under my hoodie hole that looks like an Imposters mouth.
"Quick, put your tongue out!" I whispered yelled to him and he immediately open his mouth to let out a long slithering tongue.
Everyone noticed and they all let out their sharp tongue to prove their self.
Until, someone accidentally got caught.
Red was caught using a party horn blower to use it as a tongue. I'm not sure how everyone fell for it, but it did.
Everyone turned to Red after he was caught. They grabbed him and put him in the room.
Red tried to escape but the door closed.
Then, in the screen it says "Maroon was the Crewmate. 6 Crewmates remains."
Everyone was shock, including Indigo by seeing his expression.
It's working..maybe if I try to eliminate them, he would trust me a lot more.
With that, I continue on,"I suspect that it is also you!" I pointed at the other Crewmates.
The Imposters seem to listen and they start dragging them to the door and shut them in.
Deep inside of me, I wanted to yell. I never thought I would betray anyone. It's too much for me but..I have to.
Even if it means to kill someone..
My thoughts were interrupted when I was tackled to the ground far from the table. I yelped and look up to see it was the light red person.
Their disguise was off as they raise their fist in the air in rage.
"You asshole!! You killed all of my friends! I'll kill you!" They yelled in frustration.
I don't blame them for hating me, it was all I have left. I never wanted this fight to happen.
Before they can punch me, they look closer at me and gasped. They raise their fist down a little.
"Your...a Crewmate..?" They whispered in disbelief.
I look away before slowly nodding,"I'm sorry.." I said quietly.
They didn't want to believe I was innocent, but I was. Glitchy quickly ran up and started hissing at them angrily.
"I.."
Before they could speak, they were dragged off of me by the Imposters. I slowly sat up and saw them push the Crewmate through the door.
I could still see them looking at me, and I know they were heartbroken. They look down in defeat as the door closed.
Tears slowly built up in my eyes, I quickly look down and close my eyes tightly. Hoping no one could hear me.
Glitchy walk closer to me and put his hand on my thigh to make sure I was okay.
I wasn't okay, I betrayed my own Crewmates and they are all dead because of me.
What more cruel stuff is coming?
"Hey, good job."
I look up to see it was Indigo, holding his hand out for me.
I was very hesitant for a second, but I grab his hand and helped lift me up.
I quietly thanked him and looked at the screen showing the results. The results remained true.
"Coral was the Crewmate. 1 Crewmate remains."
