Chapter 4


Green POV

There was only one remaining left, and it was me.

I could feel my legs get shaky but I remained calm as much as I can.

I was seated back on the chair after what happened. I couldn't really process well, I know I have blood on my hands.

I can feel their spirits observing me. Judging me. I never wanted to do this..I don't mean it. Why me? Why why why?!

"Are you okay?"

I lift my head up quickly and turn to see it was Indigo next to me.

I forced a small chuckle and nod,"Yeah sorry I'm just a bit uh..light headed is all." I explained.

Indigo hummed and stood up,"If that's the case, then this meeting is over. For now.." He announced.

"If you see anything suspicious of anyone, do sure to report."

Everyone obeyed and left the room to do their own things now.

I watched everyone leave until there was no one left. I sighed and look down at the table in front of me.

Guilt was heavy on me, and I hated it. Even when I was in the room full of Imposters, I'm the real Impostor here.

I wanted to cry again but I flinched when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Indigo.

"Come on, you don't look so well."

I was a little confused why he would be a bit concerned, but I still need to put on an act.

We headed inside a room and it seemed a bit more organized than any place I ever been to. I look down to make sure Glitchy was following me from behind.

Glad this was over with..somehow I need to make a plan soon.

I stopped my tracks due to shockness.

It was the same old guy from last time!

"Oh if it isn't Green!" The old man greeted happily.

I stood there dumbfounded. I look at Indigo and then back to the old man. Are they related?

"Indigo here told me you eliminated the Crewmates, very impressive!" He said as he slowly got up.

"U-um thanks, are you two related?"

I didn't know if asking was appropriate, but I was curious.

"Of course, my son here seems to take a liking towards you. Isn't that right?" He laughed and nudged Indigo who only glared at him.

"Ah don't give me that look. 'I hate you so much Slate' I'll hit ya with my cane!" He joked again.

Slate..okay then.

"..I'll be back, just help him out with his headache." Indigo said before leaving the room.

I watched as he left before turning around to see Slate wave.

I silently walk closer to him and before I could speak he interrupted me.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell him you're a Crewmate."

A sigh escaped from me due to relief. I wasn't sure if my identity was revealed..but it wasn't.

I nodded and saw Glitchy climb on the ledge and got up. He pointed up in the air and I knew what he meant.

I sighed,"I'm sure we will get there soon..we just need to find a way to get out." I reassured him.

Glitchy sighed and sat down. He seemed tired..

"I'll help you both."

Slate words caught my attention and I look at him in surprise,"Really? Can you do that?"

The old Impostor nodded,"Indeed, but I do have a favor.."

I frown but nodded,"Okay, what's the favor?" I asked.

Slate smiled and lay against the wall,"I want you to try to date my son."

....

......what?

I stand there quietly. Trying to comprehend what he said.

"I'm sorry but can you say that again?" I ask to make sure if I'm tripping or not.

"I want you to date my son. Lately, he's been on edge and hard on himself. I don't want to see him like that before my time comes one day." He explained.

I only stared at him with disbelief. Date him? Date an Impostor??

"I-I don't do dates." Was my only response I could say.

The old man shrugged and rested,"Then you must plan your own way to escape."

I let out a low groan. Not knowing what to do.

I have never dated before in my whole life. Pathetic right? I just don't want to deal with all the dates and people. Bleh!

But..if this was my only way to survive and get me out of here, then so be it.

"Fine, I'll date him." I sighed.

Slate clasped his hands together happily,"Perfect! Do make him happy for me."

I frown and stopped him from speaking,"Wait, when can I leave though?" I asked

The old Impostor hummed for a moment before turning back to me,"Until I die."

Until he dies? That could take, like, years or more! I'm not gonna stay here forever! I need to think of some plan to avoid this.

...I think I got it.

I nodded and cross my arms,"Fine, I'll stay here then."

This seems to make him pleased at my response,"Good, thank you. Hey son!" He waved at someone from behind me.

I slowly turned around and see Indigo behind me holding some bag.

"Ah! Jeez why do you always sneak up on me.." I huffed, feeling my heart pounding.

He didn't seem to respond but continued to walk by and pull out some meat and give it to Slate.

Glitchy noticed the food and jumped happily, wanting some food. Slate saw and gave him a piece making Glitchy happy and eat the meat.

Speaking of food, I was quite hungry for myself as well. But I ignored my hunger and start to focus on the plan I need to do.

"It's getting late, I think we should head to bed." Slate yawned and picked up a pillow before putting it behind him to get some rest.

"I'll be up still. You can take my bed." Indigo pointed the door at the end of the hall.

I nodded and grabbed Glitchy,"Thanks.." I mumbled and walked to the door Indigo pointed.

I slowly open the door and inside showed a nice comfy bed with shelves and a desk. Nothing much towards it.

I look around and spotted a lamp so I pull the string and it turned on.

I set Glitchy down at the bed and close the door behind me. Glitchy look around and jumped on the bed while looking at me.

I let out a soft smile and grab Glitchy,"I'll be in bed with you in a bit, I just need to plan out our escape for tonight. Okay?"

Glitchy made a sad noise but nodded. I set him down on the bed and tuck him in with the blankets.

Glitchy yawned and snuggle between the blankets.

I chuckled and pat his head before walking away and sit on a chair and scoot to the desk in front of me.

On the desk were pencils and papers. Maybe I can use this to make my plan.

I started to write on the paper to get it started. Drawing sketches and notes to help me out.

Maybe we can stick around here more to gain more trust and hope Indigo can let us get to the top floor.

With that, I need to remember where we were before..

We were at the cafeteria but before we fell, Cyan announced there was a door. It probably had the doctors that can help us.

I just hope the Crewmates are safe up there, we would need to get back up soon as possible before anything bad happens. Or worse, leave.

But they can't leave, especially Yellow. They won't let that happen no matter what.

I actually saw a vent earlier when I was with Slate...maybe it was the escape?

"Your still awake?"

I screamed and quickly look to see if I woke up Glitchy but he was still sleeping.

I sighed and quickly fold the paper I wrote and put it in my pocket. I couldn't let him see my plans, it's a game over.

I got up and turn around to see the tall Impostor leaning against the door frame.

"Um..yeah I couldn't sleep, sorry."

That was a lie obviously, just hope he's dumb enough to fall for it.

He stared again, like always. I was honestly getting tired of him already. How am I supposed to date him? He's the leader of the Impostor hideout!

I yelped when I felt large hands pick me up.

"H-hey what are you- oof!" I huffed when I was placed in bed.

"Get some sleep, you need it." He said before turning the lamp off and leave the room.

I only stared at the door. Clearly confused on what just happened. Did he just picked me up and just drop me on the bed?

Well then..that was quite odd. I don't really want to question it.

I sighed and just lay to my side where I can see Glitchy sleeping peacefully. I didn't bother pulling the blanket on me, so I just snuggle close to Glitchy and fell asleep.

Mn...stop.....

It tickles....

LICK

"Ah!"

I suddenly woke up, Glitchy was in front of me with his tongue out.

He must have woke me up.

I sat up slowly and stretched my body, letting out a loud yawn.

I guess I was that tired, I needed the rest anyway for soon.

A knock on the door was heard. Before anyone comes in I quickly re adjust the costume I was wearing to make sure it doesn't look off

The door opened, showing it was just Stale. I sighed in relief,"Oh, it's just you gramps.."

The old Impostor nodded,"Yup, I've been informed there was another meeting but they couldn't find the Crewmate still. By Crewmate, I mean you."

I frown at this information. They won't stop until they will find me..

"Not to worry, I'm sure you can manage." He said giving me a thumbs up before closing the door.

I let out a loud groan and flopped on the bed. Okay Green..just stick to the plan and you will be okay.

I got out of the bed and checked my pocket to make sure I still had the paper I was holding.

Glitchy hop off the bed and follow me from behind as I open the door.

I check to see that the place here was empty, so I walk out and headed the exit. It seems like I was back from before in the meeting.

I look at the door and couldn't help but feel sad from last time. I know I shouldn't grieve on someone I don't know, but I had to.

I noticed someone leaving and it was Indigo. Right..I need to befriend him and "date" him.

I quickly walk to the door and opened it to see it was the lobby from before.

Ignoring my anxiety, I walked out to catch up to Indigo,"Hey!" I greeted.

Indigo turned to look at me before looking back forward,"Hey."

Okay..this isn't so awkward.

I continued walking by his side quietly. I wasn't really sure what to say.

Glitchy walk beside me and glared at Indigo before sticking close to me. I'm scared of him too.

"So uh..what are you doing?" I broke the silence.

"Making sure the crew are doing what I told them to do."

I nodded at his answer and look away awkwardly. Until I had an idea.

"Do you mind if I join in?" I asked.

He look down at me silently for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"Alright, fine."
