Unknown Source

Twenty-Two

Tristan's Point Of View:

I walked upstairs after being interrogated by the others you could say, they knew I was outside because not one of them saw me in the house well they weren't going to if I wasn't there, but they knew and I knew now I had to be more careful if I had to go outside during the day as it the others were starting to get suspicious.

It was annoying how they all seemed to be trusting each other and how tight most of their friendships are between the group, I didn't like it and now it was time to start breaking it all. I was told by the unknown about Luke taking the file with YN, Brad, Brody and Livvie's information on so now I was going to go and find where he has it hidden to stir up trouble.

I walked up the stairs and made my way to the boy's rooms I meant Calum, Luke, Ashton and Michael's room not mine, Brad and Brody's room. Why would I search our room? I walked in pushing the door open as it was shut two, I walked in and closed the door leaving it the way I saw it before I walked into the room.

I knew that Luke had their file somewhere but where he had it hidden I didn't know. I was going to find out, I would find it and when I did he would be wishing he never took it in the first place.

I saw a bag on the floor by one of the blow-up beds, I knew that Luke slept closest to the window so I walked around the two blow up beds getting to the one closest to the window.

I saw a couple of bags by the blow-up bed. I kneeled in front of them, turned around making sure nobody didn't come into the room. I turned back around and began searching in the first bag but I found nothing.

I zipped it back up and moved onto the other one after searching through the clothes and other stuff I saw a brown file. I took out the clothes and items that were on top and placed them on the floor while I took out this brown file. I placed the file on the floor and placed Luke's clothes and items back into his bag. I zipped up the bag and picked up the file while standing up. I looked at the front of the file.

Brody, Brad, Yn, Livvie Personal Information

It said on the front of the brown file, I knew then I had the file that was placed into the boy's houses when they were scared out of their house just for the file to be put in place. Grinning to myself I walked around the blow-up beds and over to the door. I opened it and walked out leaving the door the way I saw it. I walked to my, Brody and Brad's room, walking in I walked over to my bed and placed the file inside my pillowcase ready for when I was going to start to causing trouble.

I was going to, they seemed to be trusting each other wait till YN, Brad, Brody and Livvie find out that the file wasn't left back at the boy's house and that Luke, in fact, brought it with him so he could look at it. That will test their friendship. Luckily for me, I hid the file when I did as Brad walked into the room. "Hey," I said looking at him. He looked at me very suspiciously. "Hello," He said before walking over to his bed and laying on it. "You alright?" I asked trying to make conversation with him. "As good as I can be when you find out that someone you don't even know parents died the same way yours did. I don't know it just has me thinking that's all" He said, I nodded my head and raised my eyebrow.

"What do you mean when you said, someone, you don't know parents died the same way yours did?" I asked trying to show I was concerned, worried about him but really I wasn't. " Calum's parents died the same way my parents died and it doesn't seem like it was an accident anymore it seems like, no I know it's not a coincidence it was like they were killed off for a reason but I don't know why anyone would do such a thing" He carried on saying.

"someone killed them off, now why would anyone do that?" I asked sitting down on my bed and looking at him as he laid down on his own. " I don't know. Something is not right about all of this, it makes me think we were chosen for some reason. I don't know, I guess I'm overthinking things I guess. I just want to know who killed my family and when I do, so help me that person or whatever it was going to wish I died with them" He said angrily sitting up.

"Why do you keep saying someone or something killed your family? They died in an accident right just because Calum's parents died the same way doesn't mean it's not an accident and not a coincidence" I pointed out, hoping for him to drop the thought of his parents being killed purposely.

"It's not a coincidence not when mine, Yes, Brody and Livvie's parents died the same way that one of the other parents died. That, not a coincidence Tristan, it's like it was planned" He said again.

We were screwed were the others thinking like this?

"I just think you need to focus on staying alive especially with the unknown source being around you never know when it's going to make its next move," I say trying to get him to focus on staying alive and not that his parents were killed and it was covered up like the others were too.

"How are you so calm when it's after you too?" He asked me, I shrugged my shoulders in response trying to come up with an answer, a reasonable answer which would be convincing. "Because I'm actually a calm person, I don't worry about a lot of things. I mean like this Unknown Source if it was trying to kill us don't you think it would have tried by now" I say to Brad.

"You're just too fucking calm for someone who should be scared about dying or scared their friends could be hurt," He said cutting his eyes at me. "What are you trying to say?" I ask standing up and walking over to his bed. He quickly got up. "What are you trying to say, Brad? Do you think I'm working for it?" I asked him. He continued to look at me. "I don't know, are you? you went outside today in daylight when everyone knows not too. You lied about that, you're trying to tell me that it was a coincidence that all our parents somehow from both groups died the same way. You're not scared about the unknown source so it means one thing if you're not scared. You must be working for it" He yelled.

I didn't want anyone finding out so soon but Brad he knew, well probably just figured it out. I started clapping my hands at him.

I smirked at him and he started backing away from me. "Y-you no way, you're not working for it are you? You can't be serious!" He spat, I just continued to smirk while walking forwards as he walked back. "what are you going to do Brad? Tell others about me? Who would believe you?" I asked different questions taunting him slightly. "they would" He spat and ran for the door but I grabbed his hood and pulled him back harshly and threw him to the floor with some force.

He had to go, I couldn't let him tell the others. I turned around to see him laying on the floor, I placed my hands together and cracked my knuckles while walking to him, he was laying on the floor unconscious from the impact of hitting the floor. There was blood, I leant down over his unconscious body. Do it, kill him. He knows now and that means one thing, he must go. Kill him, Tristan! The voice inside my head said. I wasn't planning on killing anyone, that wasn't the part of the plan but now that I kinder confessed to Brad, he had to go.

I had to do it. I had to kill him.

I kneeled in place and leant down starting to move both my hands towards his neck so I could stop him from breathing and stop the air going to his lungs. There was only going to be eight of us now because I was going to kill Brad.
