I sat in the forest, watching as the sun set, and waiting to see if my tall enemy would show up. I don't know how im even meant to get them to believe me, but if I convince them to somehow get everyone to evacuate without candle, they'd all be safe.
After everyone evacuates I would kill candle and try to either evacuate or just stay alone.
The trees rustled in the wind, calming my mind down.
I really hope that this'll work.

I looked around at where my team always slept, seeing everyone start to settle down. I went to candle, who was writing infront of an alter she had made .
She looked up at me with a calm stare.
"I'm going to see if there's any cute animals on this island, I just wanted you to know where I was"

Candle didn't speak, she just nodded and went back to writing.
With her knowing I'd be gone, I headed to the forest and looked for any sort of path to follow.

I heard a loud British voice gripping about how they touched a mushroom on accident, and immediately knew who it was.
I walked through the thick forest towards him and when he saw me, he looked behind me.

"So, you gonna speak, or did I come here for nothing?" I questioned him and he quickly snapped up

"Oh, my! Dreadfully sorry for that. As for why I brought you here, I know who murdered Mephone, and the floor." His voice sounded serious for once.

"Uh sure,who?"

"Our dear leader, candle."

The rest of the conversation was muffled due to my thoughts.
I couldn't believe that someone as calm as her was a killer!
I stood up and he immediately knew what I was about to do

"Please. Don't." His voice shook, but he tried to hide it.

I don't need him telling me what to do. I can handle her myself. And I will.

"Silver. I won't tell her you found out."

He looks at me in shock, but I don't care

He looks at me in shock, but I don't care. Someone needs to confront candle and if no one else is, I have to
I walk out of the forest, and look around for anything I could use to protect myself
There is nothing.
I give up on the search for weapons, and decide to just go find candle.

I see her in front of her alter, meditating.
"Hey." I say, trying to keep calm

She doesn't say anything, just opens her eyes to acknowledge me.

"I know you did it."

She tenses up

"I'm sorry, what did I do?"

"You killed them you idiot!"
I feel my hair burst into flames, and she looks genuinely shocked.

"This wasn't supposed to happen. Who told you?!"
Her eyes glow and her flame turns a bright purple.

"I found out myself, are you stupid?! Who else could've?"

"Well. if it's only you."
I caught a glimpse of her third eye, glowing the same purple as the others

She quickly grabs me, and I try to get out, loosen her grip on me, but there isn't any way to escape.

I feel a part of wax drip down onto me and the pressure on my body grows, and becomes almost unbeara-
