Nobody found anything overnight.

At breakfast, everyone who was still alive was there. 'Good,' Serena thought. 'No one died.'

The young Trainers all gathered together afterward.

"So, we should all get into groups," Serena said.

"I'm the oldest here, I should be in charge," N said, pushing into the huddle.

"True!" Bonnie said. "Right, Clemo..." she trailed off.

Serena cast an apologetic glance at the young girl, who had been thrust into this game without any knowledge of murder. She was only about 6! Team Rocket was pure evil!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At lunch, Serena could not be found.

"Where's Serena?" May asked, a hint of a smile dancing on her face.

"I don't know," Dawn said, a smile also attempting to break through her solid mental walls.

Misty was just completely beaming mischeviously. "I hope nothing... happened to her."

N was watching the girls. 'What are they so happy about?' he wondered. He picked up some food with his fork and went back to eating, but leaned towards the young Trainers slightly to hear what they were saying.

They were all snickering.

"A BODY HAS BEEN FOUND. YOU HAVE AN HOUR TO INVESTIGATE."

Bonnie ran screaming into the room. "SERENA'S DEAD! SHE'S DEAD! SHE'S DEAD! SERENA IS DEAD!"

N shot up from his chair. "We need to make a plan! My team will investigate the body, the other teams will look for weapons!"

Dawn and Misty rushed towards N.

All the others fanned out around the mansion.

N's team ran to Serena's room, knowing now that every moment counted in an hour.

The door was locked.

N swore loudly and kicked at it.

"N!" Misty gasped in surprise.

Dawn jumped up to grab the top of the door frame. She dangled in front of the door, her arms straining to lift her up.

N grabbed Dawn's feet and pushed her up.

Dawn grabbed the key from the dusty top. "Got it!"

N dropped her.

Dawn stuck the key in the lock and jiggled it. The door opened.

On the floor was Serena.

Or, rather, what used to be Serena.

Now she was just a severed head, with hands next to her bloody wrists, and a leg cut off right through the kneecap. Her eyes were wide open and glazed over. Her mouth was wide open, as if she was attempting to scream when she died, but no one had heard any ruckus. A pool of blood was still growing around her. Her toes had been cut off and put by her head, and her lungs were splayed across her hacked chest.

Dawn stumbled backward into the hall and retched.

Misty covered her mouth, and her eyes were widened with fear.

N's silvery-blue eyes had pupils that were small with fear. He stumbled back and leaned on the door frame, getting as far away from Serena as possible.

"I'm not investigating that," Dawn said, wiping her mouth with the back of her wrist.

N shook his head. "Me neither."

"Well, I'm not!" Misty shouted.

"I thought I wanted her dead," Dawn said, taking a sharp inhale. "I was wrong."

*At the courtroom*

Ash's and Serena's pictures had blood-red X's on them.

"So you have no idea who did it?!" Giovanni raged.

"I did it!" May suddenly exclaimed.

"May?" a collective gasp filled the courtroom.

May nodded. "I want this game to end."

Mewtwo slapped the red button and dragged May off.

May shimmered into a surreal landscape.

Execution: Beauty *perfect for a Coordinator*

May saw some beautiful food and started eating. "What kind of execution is this?" she wondered aloud between mouthfuls.

Suddenly, a pain sprung to life in her throat. She clutched at her neck. "Poison," she rasped. She could feel her throat swelling inside her.

Oxygen was cut off.

It all went dark.

Who will die next?

Who will kill next?

All answered in the next chapter.

==========================

I really didn't want to kill Serena...

She is an okay character. I am sorry if the description of her corpse was too graphic :D
