The worry

~~Day 4~~

The remaining townsfolk walked out of their houses to see two dead bodies lining the ground. It seemed that these two were next door to each other, which seemed poetic. The Jailor was relieved to find out he had executed a Necromancer, but the Coven had killed the Seer, who was checking Pink and Flaw. There were no Serial Killer deaths this night, so the town assumed the Serial Killer must have targeted the jailed person.

"Well, we don't have much to go off." The Coven Leader started as someone started to laugh quietly. A Jester. Pink was growing concerned as another member of the Coven had died in the night, although by Flawski's hands.

"Before anyone restarts the Vote for Alignment, I am Town Killing." Flawski stated as people started to say their claim alignments. Unfortunately, Flaw didn't have much to go on with all alignment claims, except for Pink as Pink was confirmed in his eyes. Although he thought switching claims with Pink would be good to deter the Serial Killer to get him, but now it worried him that he may have made Pink's life at risk. By the time he thought, the day ended, and he grabbed the person who laughed. Yes, Flaw wasn't impressed.

~~With the Coven~~

"Good thing I wasn't pushed or anything. I'll empower my defence tonight as I am worried the Serial Killer may attack me tonight.

"Yes, but what if he comes for me?" Pink asked.

"I told the Cleric claim to be on you. As they didn't get a kill last night, I assume they went for the jailed Necromancer, their bloodlust is stated. It means they can not rampage." The Coven Leader explained. "If I get pushed for being immune, I will say that I was shot once, not twice. I have a sneaky feeling the Town Killing claim is the Serial Killer. You say you shot me. We should win this way."

"I see this is what you meant by throwing you under the bus." Pink started to summarise as the Coven Leader went out to get the kill for the night. However, the Serial Killer did as the Coven Leader predicted and attacked them, finding the Coven Leader immune.

~~Day 5~~

Two more bodies fell overnight, bringing the total people alive to four remaining. With Coven locking out the votes, the Coven Leader wanted to make sure Pink didn't get detected. They were right to put the defence up, though, as the Serial Killer did attack them last night.

With the Cleric who was protecting Pink the entire time from her being confirmed being dead to the Coven Leader and the Jailor exing the Jester, Pink was getting very unsettled. Remember the plan, Pink...

"Toast is immune!" A guy shouted. "I shot them last night, and they were immune."

"Well, it is true I was shot, but I wasn't shot twice." Toast, the Coven Leader said as the guy started to look irritated.

"It was Flawski who shot you, I jailed that guy." Pink stated as Toast understood that this plan works out better for Pink in the long run. Faking Jailor with the real one as the Conjurer... interesting plan...

As soon as it was voting time, everyone pointed at Toast to go to the gallows. Pink knew, deep down, she didn't want to do this as she knew this was going to make her the only Coven left. The guy who called Toast immune started to smirk as he was preparing for his victory.

As the sun set, Pink fell to her knees, knowing this night was going to be the longest night. Although the claims were switched, she was cautious. Whilst she was still weeping, she fell asleep.

Flawski noticed that Pink hadn't moved from where she was sitting and went to pick her up. She fell asleep... he thought as he brought her to the jail. Even though he exed the Jester the night before, he has no executions but can still protect someone.

~~With Pink~~

Pink woke up to find her wrists chained together to a wall. Pink started to look quite flustered. Am I kidnapped by the Serial Killer? Pink was panicking as suddenly, the jail door opened, and Flawski walked in.

"Pink, I am happy you're awake." Flawski started as Pink felt pretty freaked out.

"Uh... why am I being kept like this?" Pink wailed as Flawski knelt in front of her.

"Pink, I don't want you to get hurt. I really don't want you walking around at this time." Flawski's tone started to calm her down. "Look. I don't want you killed by the Serial Killer. The thing is... I have been trying to protect you this entire time. I know you're town, but I did want you to claim Jailor outright as I wanted the Serial Killer to 'target' you when you're safely here. Effectively wasting a night for them. About the chains... I don't want you to get out for now. I.. I just don't want to lose you to the killer..."

"Well, now I get it. I see why you wanted to switch claims..." Pink felt a bit relieved. Flawski rubbed Pink's cheek. After a few moments, Pink realised that Flawski was right. Even though he had no way of killing her, he still had a way to keep her safe from the Serial Killer.

"You've had quite a past few days. I'll grab you a pillow and a blanket." Flawski started to get up and fetch a blanket and pillow for her to rest on. She started to wonder. Would Flawski's plan work?
