Part Four

A few days later-

(Bill)

"Y-Your Majesty! Th-there's been a murder!" One of my maids yells as she runs into my study.

"What?! Show me," I growl.

Who the hell would resort to murder?

The maid leads me to the library.

I see two dead bodies and instantly recognize the them.

Samantha and Lucy.

Samantha was one of my best friends and she's the only person that knows about Mason and me.

Lucy was her sister.

What went wrong?

I think for a few moments until-

"Sir? What do you think happened?" She asks.

"So... Samantha was... here," I say standing next to Sam's body.

"And... Lucy stabbed her and then was stabbed herself by our murderer. They probably convinced Lucy to kill her own sister... Who would do this? Get all of the staff in the throne room at once," I order.

The maid rushes away.

I frown as all the servants begin to gather.

Dipper rushes to my side.

"What happened?" He asks.

"Murder. Samantha and Lucy," I say sadly.

He gasps.

"Stabbed," I sigh.

"Join the others... Please," I say.

"You don't think I-"

"No. I don't. But I can't let people believe I'm biased."

"O-Oh. Ok... I understand. I hope you can find out who did this," he says leaving.

I sigh and confront the staff.

I explain what happened.

But everyone has an alibi.

Everyone except Zekeal.

I later grab his arm.

"May I speak to you privately?" I ask.

He nods and leads me to his room.

"Where were you last night?" I ask, trying not to offend him.

"I was with Sam actually. I can't believe she's dead..." he says near to tears.

"Anything else...?"

"We were just... We were together. In a relationship. We were on a date... and then she said she had to take care of something," Zekeal says.

"I see..."

That's such a weak alibi.

But...

"You may leave," I say.

He nods and walk away.

The Next Day-

(Zekeal)

I grin to myself as I wake up.

How stupid can humans get?!

I make my way to a future victim.

Hannah.

She giggles as I enter her room.
