"You want to try throw 4's corpse down the hole?"
"Y..yes"
my gaze met with 3's who's tall stature looked over 2s head, nodding at me while glancing at the body as well.
"Let's give it a try then"
Looking down, her frown was slightly inverted into a smile. Like a person overcome with potential liberty.
"You get him"
3s voice echo'd firmly, his command felt final.
"m-me?" 2 replied, shocked
"I need to talk to 1, so if you'd kindly do something for once It'll be appreciated"
She hesitantly moved forwards towards the corpse, the waddle like walk was the perfect pace for a chat, so we weren't bothered. Once her figure faded into distance we began our chat.
"I don't trust 2"
"She is quite strange, aint she?"
"She also qualifies as a sinner, and she's alive"
"Indeed she is"
"I doubt a dead body will work as his justice was already served by a death sentence"
"You want to throw 2 in?"
"You don't?"
You know, its funny; this is a chat considering someones future, much less a girl whos seemingly weaker and more vulnerable than me or 3 yet.. theres no sense of guilt nor a droplet of adrenaline, it feels akin to reading a underwhelming news paper article and going 'meh'.
"Well? what's taking so long, she'll be back before soon"
Him rushing me for an answer felt rather nice, for all my thoughts about giving him power being the one in power sure felt... cathartic in some sense.
"I agree."
My breath turned rugged, 3 turned his back towards the hole looking for other engravings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behind me was a man being dragged alone the cold floor by my hand grabbing his smallest finger, trying to maintain minimum contact with this creep. I'm just realising this now, but they are definitely planning to throw me down that pit, aren't they? I mean I am objectively the only sinner here. I.. I did k-k-kill this man.
Oh god
Oh god
I need to take a break.
But I'm so close to reuniting with the others
Wont they kill me though? Who'd believe my story when I cant even prove I'm innocent?
I.. I am innocent, that's a given.
Suddenly I felt myself collapse onto the ground, my eyes met the man who assaulted me hours before as I screamed. I didn't deserve this and I still don't.
All of the sudden the darkness faded, and in the centre of the room was a massive overhead light lit up, below however was astonishing
The strange man - 1 had his hands on the back of 3 who was perched over the pit, 3's head slowly turned towards 1s hands as he quivered presumably by fear. 1 had a expression of bliss, he looked more monstrous than even 4s face in this moment as his arms extended. Just like rain washing away blood, the man was gone now but sound of terror, rage and now baseless authority screaming up the hole.. slowly growing distant as seconds past without a thud; 1 stood tall over the hole, all limbs were relaxed and his face didn't even look down the hole, only up towards the light like he was relishing the moment
The light radiated and slowly turned into a repeating green light, and a deafing buzz filled the now illuminated room.
4s pinkie finger was still being grabbed on by mine, what happened between those two? does it even matter? i survived right? the green colour means victory right?
All of a sudden 1 moved and his head fell, now facing me as it bore a smile. His mouth opened and shouted while i flinched
"He needed to go, he was the true sinner."
He took a long pause before walking slowly towards 3s bed, rummaging through his sheets before pulling out a knife
"Your story didn't make sense to me, no lamps no matter how much i looked had any blood and his wounds definitely wasn't dealt from blunt thwacks"
Ah, he's figured it out
"Then I recalled he stayed with you as I approached 4 for the first time, he threatened you didn't he? He must've saw your weakness and my assertiveness and decided I was better to keep around."
He spat on the knife then cleaned off the dry, clotted blood with his bed sheets till the blade was clean.
I grabbed 4s pinkie with my full trembling hand and all my heart as tears streamed once again, its true that the guy assaulted me but I had no will to kill him. 3 protected me as he awoke during my pleas for help, he threatened me that if I didn't take the blame id be next. Currently this disgusting mans pinkie may be the only other human thing in this room.
1 moved towards the hole and tossed the blade gently into the hole
"Hope it cuts you on the way down."
And once again he's looking directly at me laying on the ground being comforted by her own attacker, his demonic smile faded and transmogrified into one more soft and kind with a concerningly smooth transition.
"Lets get out of here, shall we?"
