Gifteds: And Then There Were None

Chapter 3. XI

Angela walked into the room without much thought. She was more than slightly irked to have been tricked into coming on to this stupid freaking island. WITH NO WIFI! How was she supposed to update her fans? They would be worried about her by now! These thoughts came to a halt when Angela did a quick scan of her room. Staring back at her, from the opposite wall, was a full speaker system. Beside it several of the best pairs of Beats headphones. She looked around and was amazed to find shelves filled with all the best music, Kpop and otherwise. She squealed with glee at all the albums. They even had old ones like Exo's Mama and Got7's Got it?. She practically did a little pirouette as she spun around to explore the rest of her room. Her joy quickly subsided when she realized what was tacked to the cork board above the headpost of her bed. Beside the many posters, there was also a crumpled article winking at her from beneath a poster of the Exo group members as 12. She pulled it out and began skimming it.

Celebrity News: Body Found of Famous Kpop Star

World renown Kpop Idol Park has been found murdered in his apartment. The Kpop star was last seen coming out of a cafe with some friends before he was found bloody by his ex-girlfriend Kpop Idol A.

A and Park had broke up several months ago after he was caught cheating with a rival. Though A was heartbroken, the two remained good friends.

"It's a terrible shock," A told the press through tears. "Who could do such a thing?"

This story is still developing.

Angela dropped the article at that point, unable to go on. She could clearly remember the rage she felt when she realized what her ex had done. She knew he was just doing it to make her jealous, and even now she hated to admit that it worked. He didn't even like the other idol, in fact he despised her. But he did it all the same. After the murder she had feigned surprise and remorse; she didn't feel anything anymore for him. Angela picked up the article again, but this time she noticed a thin slip of paper tucked into the corner. She held it closer, and was horrified by what it said.

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins

Angela immediately shredded the paper to ribbons. Although they were destroyed, she could still hear the hurtful words echoing in her mind. Envy, jealous, sin, murder leered at her, mocking her, taunting her. Angela pushed them out of her mind. She knew that she was not any of those things. But if she knew it to be true, then why did she still feel so...so... so cold? She turned to find the window open, the curtains flapping about in the wind in a wild sort of dance. She shut the window, flipped the latch, and pulled the curtains closed. She felt better already. Angela surveyed her room one last time, before crawling into bed for a nice warm nap. Dinner was ages away, she reasoned. Besides, I am exhausted after that long flight. She soon fell asleep, with the shredded magazine article still lying on the floor beside her bed.
