Identity V x Danganronpa

Chapter 13 -The Confusion-

"Flashlight is a secret weapon, don't judge it! Lol... what am I saying?" -Taina Zakura

     
     Kreacher's P.O.V: 

     As I whipped up my secret weapon, I pointed it directly at the hunter just when he was about to come towards me. Shining the light at his eyes for a moment, I can't say how proud I am to watch the hunter go blind for a few seconds. Not to mention how useful it was to lock up his skills for sure.

     Suddenly, I felt myself imagining what a great hero I am. And soon, everybody in the main room is going to say that my secret weapon was a huge success after this round is over! 

     Turning around to rescue Martha, I realized she disappeared. Where is she? Wasn't she supposed to be in the rocket chair? I was confused when I got there, wondering if she was invisible or something, but that's when I heard a voice saying, "Thank you!" from a mile away. 

     It didn't take long for me to realized someone had rescued her earlier while I was doing the distraction . . .

  
     Andrew's P.O.V:

     No matter what happens to Kreacher, I hope he'll forgive me for interrupting his rarity moment. It's not like I'm a monster for doing such thing, just because he took too long admiring his work for blinding that hunter, instead of immediately rescuing our teammates whenever he had the chance to. 

     After a few moments of running away, I decided to follow Martha so I could heal her somewhere in our stopping points. Although, if the hunter finds her again, she'll probably never escape, and have to wound up going back to the manor in a tough way like the others. 

    "Why are you following me?" Martha demanded, still keep on running farther away. 

     Clearly, she misunderstood why I'm following her. Perhaps she thinks I'm leading more trails for the hunter to find her? "Hold on," I began, "Let me heal you first before you keep on going."

     She abruptly stopped, thankfully, and let me finished healing her. After I'm done, she then asked me, "Who healed you?"

     "Melly," was my response, "She found me decoding on a cipher and decided to help me heal first before I came to rescue you-"

     "75% decoding progress," we heard a voice remind us in our head, before giving the final message, "Focus on decoding!"

     "That explains it," Martha replied back to me, glancing at the other way behind us. "It seems like Melly is almost finished with that cipher."

     I gave a short nod, "C'mon, let's go finish decoding the last one."

     "But what about Kreacher?" She whispered, pointing behind us, "It seems like he's already been hit once." And she was right. There was a short glowing image of the hunter and Kreacher from the other side. 

     I sighed, holding my shovel tightly, "If he needs saving that badly, I'll go make sure he's safe," and started to run towards Kreacher while adding, "You have to go help Melly decode the last one-"

    The orange lighting of the cipher lit up a mile away. . . 

    "So use your time wisely," I finished my little speech and ran off. Somehow, I felt confident. The other me, felt different. If we're going to win this game, at least make it a little bit more exciting here. 


     Emma's P.O.V:

     Watching the screen, I wondered why Andrew would decide to go back towards Bane. Still, it must be amazing to know what it's like to go back, even though it might take a lot of risk... 

     Just then in the corner of my eyes, I caught someone coming up from behind me. "E-Emily?" I hesitated as I whirled around to face her, looking very confused when she came over to me, out of breath. "What's wrong?"

     Everyone was so distracted that they didn't even notice Emily was a bit worn out. It was as if she had been running really hard. And by the looks of it, I felt really bad for her. Sweating a little as Emily wiped her forehead, "Nothing, nothing's wrong," she stated, but when she met my eyes, she confessed immediately. "Oh alright," she sighed, "I was going to take a bathroom break a while ago, but then--"

     That's when the door to the main room opened and slammed shut really loud. All eyes were on Fiona, as she was trembling in fear. "Someone please help, Vera and I were attacked a few moments ago!"

     
     Eli's P.O.V: 

     Judging the expression on the woman's face, I could tell she was living in a nightmare. Both me and Aesop exchanged looks, before turning to glance over at Fiona again. She was coughing as she tried to warn us again. "The traitor is in the kitchen," and then she collapsed onto the ground. 

     "Fiona!" Tracy shouted, and then quickly made her way towards her. "Please wake up!"

     "Is she alright?" Emily asked weakly as she came over to them. Speaking of Emily, I could tell Fiona wasn't the only one that looked terrible around here. And it also didn't take long for others to look distress and worried as everybody were speaking at the exact same time--

     "Is this the traitor's doing?" Mike suggested. 

     "Please don't tell me she's dead!" Margaretha cried out loud. 

     "Where's Vera?" Freddy demanded. 

     "Didn't Fiona say she and Vera were attacked?" Murro recalled. 

     "Everyone calm down," I heard Helena said, trying to keep our voices down from talking at once. "If someone knows what's going on, we should all ask Monokuma."

     At that moment, it didn't take long for Monokuma to show up again. "Did someone say my name?"

     "What did you do this time, Monokuma?" Luca demanded. Though, I'm not quite sure if he's blaming it on Monokuma or the fact that Monokuma didn't do anything to stop the traitor what-so-ever. 

     "Me?" Monokuma looked offended, but then he turned red in anger, "What the hell do you think I am? A killer? Well, that sounds unreal."

     "So one of us did this?" Servais crossed his arms. "But does that mean the one who attacked Fiona and Vera was the traitor?"

     Hearing this, Monokuma sighed, "How long does that even take you guys to figure it out?" But before any of us could reply, he continued on, "It's not my job to stop the traitor after all," he pointed it out. "But I wish they hadn't done the killing while we're all here, otherwise, it's too obvious!"

     "Since when are we allowed to leave the main room while the game is on?" Asked Norton. "Isn't there a policy that we are to stay in this room until it's over?"

     "Bathroom breaks are fine," Monokuma added, "As long as it's under 5 minute that is, I wouldn't mind."

     I glanced over at Aesop next to me as the others kept talking about the policy again. Aesop didn't seem to react to anything. Not that I'm expecting him too. Although, he just didn't seem to feel troubled or even bothered by this situation. As for me, I just hoped he wasn't the traitor, or maybe Monokuma was tricking us into believing it's true?

     "Don't even... think about it," I heard Aesop tell me, his voice rather soft as usual. "I'm not the traitor... so you don't have to be afraid of me."

     "I never said you are," I replied back instantly, wondering how'd he guessed my thoughts. "Just saying this out loud," I whispered, "If you are the traitor, please don't kill me."

     He shrugged back at me, "I should ask you the same."

     Did he really think I was the traitor? Now I feel messed up. 

     "We're back!" Cried a familiar voice. Everyone turned around to find Kreacher, Andrew, Melly, and Martha standing before them, looking excited and also exhausted. 

     "Did you see that?" Martha spoke up first before anyone could tell her the news. "We escaped, isn't that great?"

     Total silence. . . 

     "Um, what's going on?" Andrew asked, looking lost for a moment, "Did something happen while we're gone?"

     I watched as Fiona slowly got back up on her feet, finally waking up as she held onto Tracy to stabilize herself from falling. "You guys," she began, "I found out who's the traitor, and he's standing right over there."

    
    (Thanks for reading Chapter 13! If you already guessed who the traitor is, you're a legend! If you can't, that's alright-- Not even I could guess at first try... Since the traitor hasn't been shown automatically, you just have to keep on reading to find out! PEACE!)
