Till No one Remains

Chapter VIII- All In

[Annie's POV]

The lights have flickered out.

"The lights went out. Should we go back?" I asked.

"Let's stay here for now." Alex replied.

"They'd be busy doing stuff in that mansion." He continued.

That makes sense, I guess. Though we still have to use our abilities. We can't be idle when we can get killed at any moment.

"You have your tablet, don't you?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, why?" I showed him my tablet, the one I use for spying on people.

"Bug Natalia." He ordered.

Natalia, huh...

She has been hiding for a while now. She didn't show up after that announcement and she doesn't show up during discussions. I wonder why is she hiding. She could be a special role like Alex, or she could be-

"I'll go read on Kim-ly. Her actions are oddly suspicious for me, even though I barely got out of my room until yesterday." Alex added.

"Okay then." I nodded as I selected Natalia to bug on.

Even though it's midnight, I can't rest now, since I have this responsibility... to save ourselves from this killing game, even if it cost others' lives.

[Austin's POV]

"Took ya long enough." I muttered, as I felt a presence coming by. I can already tell who they are, and what they want with me. Seems it worked.

I grabbed myself a knife, as I know where this is headed.

"Heh, ready to die?" They laughed.

"YOU FIRST!" I screamed as I rushed in to stab the murderer. Surprisingly, they avoided that attack well. They must have like, night vision or something. But, I may have missed my mark given that it's dark here.

I only have few lights open that are dim enough to be noticeable. Using that as my guide, I should be able to predict the murderer's movements. I bet they won't notice it much if they can really see in the dark.

"Trying to kill the murderer, huh?" They taunted me.

"The rules don't say you have to be the murderer to kill." I replied as I tried to land another stab, but to no avail.

"Guess we'll be having fun tonight." They smirked.

We both exchanged stabs that misses their marks. I can feel their murderous intent through me. But, that won't stop me from killing them. I'll end this killing game with my own hands!

"Pretty good for a detective. I wonder why haven't you caught me by now."

"I noticed that the clues don't pile up, but point out to numerous people. I can also guess that your teammates hid some of the clues, so that I would be forced to reveal my role. That trick won't work on me." I replied, as I try to catch my breath from avoiding their attacks.

"Is that so? So that's why the clues are in paper. Pretty impressive, Mr. Detective." I was given a compliment.

Tchhh... Acting casual as we fight to the death... It ticks me off.

[Medic's POV]

I hope our plan works. I know it's risky, but I have to gamble on someone's life if I want to save people.

I still wonder how my ability works. It's weird that I don't need to physically interact with those I want to heal, yet... they actually get healed. How did I actually save Kim-ly back then with just a tap? Is there someone out there who does the work for me? Could there be accomplices among us?
