Chapter 3

Everyone sat silently on their respective place in gathering room. Everyone looked at each other furtive glances.

It seemed like no one wanted to begin the conversation. The only thing breaking the silence was the clock ticking on the wall.

Jackson cleared his throat.

"So as we know the first murder has taken place and we all are gathered here to vote out the mafia, so I think we should let the talk begin" he said .

" I agree, it's no good wasting time like this ,it's better if we find the supposed culprit" said Rose.

" Well we can't just point someone out, what we know is that everyone was asleep at night and no one heard her since the rooms are sound proof" said Shawn.

"I think for now the best thing is that the Detective should come out so he can help us in finding the suspect " said Dave.

"I agree ,the Detective should raise their hand" Crystal.

"But I don't think this is right ,if the mafia find out who the Detective is they could finish him off easily and same goes for the medic" Lily said.

"I agree to that " said Nathan.

"OK then at least the necromancer should come out, since he can just identify who the person who died is , and it won't be a danger to him since he can't just identify the mafia" said Leo .

"Hmmm... yeah I agree on that" said Jade.

"OK then is everyone in the favour of the necromancer comming out" she said raising her hand.

Everyone raised their hand in favour.

"OK then necromancer, come out and show your card" said Jackson.

Rose slowly raised her right hand and with her left pulled out a card from her pocket.

The cat ,she was the necromancer.

"OK then now we know who the necromancer is, let's proceed" said Jackson.

"So, who was with Annie today" asked Jade.

"Well I did see Crystal hanging out with her today, there is a high chance she could be the mafia" said Mia.

"No iam not the mafia, I was hanging out with her because ...because she was lonely and we also went the same school " Crystal said defending herself.

"Or you wanted to gain her trust so that it could be easier for you to kill her " said Lily sceptically.

"No ,please believe me it wasn't me" said Crystal ,her lip trembling .

"Please...please" she said.

" I don't know , I've heard of you ,your pretty famous in our neibougherhood for being a troubled child ,it wouldn't be much hard for you to end someone's life" said Mia.

"Just because iam a troubled child doesn't mean iam the killer" pleaded Crystal.

The argument seemed to have no conclusion as there was no solid proof that Crystal was the killer

Just then the clock on the wall chimed ,it was 8'o'clock.

All of a sudden everyone felt there collars tightening choking them, they hadn't decided in time.

Everyone struggled with their collars ,trying their best to make them stop but it was no use.

Some of them even fell onto the for as the collars began to cut their oxygen supply.

"Vo...Vote " shocked Jackson as he fell to the floor , face turning blue , tears falling of his face.

Weakly, he lifted his arm and pointed at Crystal.

Others seeing him do that ,followed as well pointing at Crystal while still struggling with their collars.

All of a sudden ,there collars stopped tightening.

The students begin to cough violently as their breathing finally returned but their was one person who was still choking.

It was Crystal.

She lay on the floor ,still struggling to remove her collar, her feet kicking as she was choked.

Slowly her struggling grew weaker and weaker as her brown eyes lost the light in their eyes and turned glass.

Everyone else watched in horror at the now dead girl.

Everyone watched in shocked silence.

Rose slowly stepped forward and sat next to the corpse, putting her hand on the girls wrist to check her pulse. Her face darkened.

Everyone knew what that meant.

Then she put her hand in Crystal's jacket and pulled out a black card ,looked at it and flipped it towards the others.

It was the symbol of the lamb, Crystal had been a villager.


And just like an innocent lamb ,she had been slaughtered .

Everyone stood silent not knowing what to do know. Everyone had varying degrees of horror on their faces. And those who had accused her looked guilty and regretful.

Then the card in Rose's hand crumbled to dust and fell on to the floor.

Not uttering a word to each other, two students picked up Crystal's dead body and dragged it of to Anne's room where they had decided to put the dead bodies.

The other slowly walked back to their rooms, the night has reached its peak.

It was the time the lights turned off and the mafia were out to hunt.

-------------------------------

The light of the moon  shinned in to the kitchen as the two mafia sat their waiting for the third to arrive.

And again, the third mafia didn't appear.

The two mafia walked into the hallway and decided again on a room,a person to kill.

They slowly walked to the room ,kitchen knives cluched in their hands.

Just as they opened the door ,the occupant inside realising who it was ,stood up from their bed, trembling.

As the to mafia entered the room and walked towards her, the girl collapsed to the floor,her collar tightening.

The two watched in horror as the person convulsed on the floor in the same way, Crystal had.

Unable to see the sight and in order to reduce their misery and pain,on of the mafia member picked up the chair by the table and slammed it on the person head, effectively killing her.

The two mafia watched each other in shock at just what had happened and slowlybacked out of the room.

-----------------------------

The other day, another gory scene waited him.

Nathan watched in horror as the black haired girl lay in the ground ,her head grousmely split open. The blood indicated that the chair had been used to done the deed.

It was Lily, his school mate.....

Rose slowly walked to the body and after reciting a small prayer under her breath, put her hand in the girls coat and pulled out the black card.

Looking at it ,she lifted it up and showed it to the rest of the group.

It was the Fox card.

Nathan barely controlled a gasp, she had been knave , just like him....
