“ No.... No, it's not, Maya didn't kill Angela, it wasn't her, I'm pretty sure of it....” Fred claimed, the first time he's speaking more than I few words since I got here, oh fuck, what is he trying to do now?, Why is she trying to defend Maya right now?, Why wouldn't he wait until midnight has passed?. I don't even know my fate after midnight, but I am pretty sure that they're going to cut the chase off after midnight, they won't come for me again after midnight is over, because that's the settings of the game they set, each option having its duration of timing. I should try to stay hidden until then, only then would I be sparred by the family, even though they'll possibly hate me for whatever my presence might've caused. All attention was on Fred, having denied the fact that Maya was a suspect, they were now waiting on him to bring up the new suspect. What is he going to say now?, He didn't saw me kill Angela, that I am so sure of, but I still have that fear in me like he does suspect me as the culprit. “ It was Elizabeth, it was her, she killed Angela, she's probably the one who killed her, she might've done it out of fear, but I believe it's her....” “ Fucking seal that dirty mouth of yours!...” Liam stood from the floor, punching Fred's face, even though Fred looks more dominating than anyone in here, Liam still shows no fear in his attacks towards him. Phillips came to the rescue again, pushing Liam out, grabbing him from behind. He was holding onto him firmly that Liam is finding it hard to break free. The attention was no longer on Peter, still waiting for Fred to confirm what he meant by I was the one before proceeding with his anger. “ Speak up Fred, why did you say it was Lizzy?!....” Mrs Jennifer pressed. With another glance from Fred at Liam, looking like he was trying to inform Phillips to hold onto him more tight, he began to speak. “ I haven't seen Angela yet or how she was eliminated, but I have seen Lizzy who was holding a Cutlass and was cotted in blood, the Cutlass was one Angela was holding, the Cutlass she picked for the hunt, Lizzy was the one handling it and with her dress covered in blood, it's probably her.....” Everyone was silent, I was silent, like I was waiting for the information to digest, knowing that it was a huge point, he just proved an undeniable point that would definitely have me killed in no time. Angela was his wife, and now, I believe he's probably regretting saving me from the family, saving the woman that came into their home to kill his wife, after I have gotten him flogged in the afternoon. “ And do you know where she is right now?....” Mrs Jennifer asked. Fuck!. Without waiting for them to come at me, I took off, they all knew that I was now in here, and they're all coming for me without looking back. Just like Liam said, he wouldn't be sparring me when it gets to the point where he'll have to choose killing me or making his family look down on him, at this point, I'm alone and it's now a full chase. I have no weapon with me, nothing to defend myself with, I'm all stuck and alone, with all of them possibly coming at me because it was almost midnight, I don't think I still have a chance. I saw myself falling hard on the floor, after filling the sting on my right shoulder, it was so painful that I couldn't hold back my scream. With my scream rising above the normal volume I knew I possess, I saw that it was an arrow, it has pierced through my shoulder and now, I am in pain of the injury which I have never in my life experienced before. I forced myself to turn around, seeing all of them coming at me all at once, Blake was standing in front, while the others were coming behind her. Another arrow was shot to my leg, sending jolts of pain to my brain, my scream beyond the first one, tears showering down from my eyes because I couldn't hold it back any longer, my body shaking as adrenaline rushed through me, finding it hard to keep myself from showing them that I couldn't bear the pain they're causing me. I tried to pretend, to do what they usually do in movies, where the victim of the attack would be laughing at those torturing him or her, the pain was too painful to play such tricks, to act like a lunatic in the face of death. They're now gathered around me, all of them standing before me, they all carrying a weapon with them, a weapon to strike me dead. “ Liam.... Come closer, you've to watch closely how she crosses over.....” Blake commanded, Peter grabbing Liam out, to come watch how they're going to take life away from me. Liam's eyes were on me, he wasn't crying, but he was pained, trying to stay strong, even when he couldn't protect the love of his life, his lover. I can see what he was trying to show me, trying to make me stay strong, giving me strength while looking up at him. There's no way out right now, I'm a goner, so if I am to go, I believe he would love me to depart with a smile on my face. With Blake's bow and arrow pointed at me, straight to my head, I gently closed my eyes, trying not to remember the smile on her face, rather the thought of Liam's strength in my mind, they should get over with it, I'm ready to cross over. The bell started ringing, ringing out loud to everyone's hearing, it's midnight.
