"Hey can someone call Erise? She's usually the first up. At least from my experiences with her." Scarlet yawned.

"I'll go get her~" Rico stood up and walked to the second level.

"Erise? Are you awake?"

There was no answer.

"Erise?" Rico opened the door to find Erise, eyes wide but glazed with no feeling. A pool of dried blood was under her. He backed away and ran off to his room.

"Wow, they are soo stupid. They shouldn't have actually killed her. So sad. Probably more than one of us would survive the house collapsing anyways."

It couldn't be...someone had really betrayed them.

********************

"Hey why is Erise still not awake? And Rico went to get her but he disappeared all of a sudden. Joy can you find Erise?" Scarlet complained.

Joy nodded silently and went upstairs.

"So...nothing happened to anyone last night right...? No one really--"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" An ear piercing scream ran throughout the house.

The ten people glanced at each other and ran up the stairs.

Joy was leaning against the door breathing heavily. In front of her, was Erise. Her body was a mess. The blood was dried and it was everywhere. The stab wound was clearly seen on her stomach. Her body looked tense, and was already starting to rot. Her mouth hung open, as did her eyes. It was terrifying.

"Oh my gosh..."

No one made a move.

"She definitely died with no choice since she has hemophilia...but who would even do this...?"

"Rico...he must be..." Andrè looked at the next room where the door was tightly shut and locked.

"Wait. Let's check the time on her watch. We might figure out something from that." Scarlet rushed over next to Erise and wiped the blood away from her watch.

"She was killed overnight. Who didn't go to bed last night when we all went to separate rooms?"

Roni shifted uncomfortably. "I-I don't think Tom was in bed when I was there. I stayed in my room and waited for Tom but he never came back, so I just went to bed..."

"Hey I was just in the bathroom! I'm not the murderer! What proof do you have to just assume I'm the murderer???" Tom moved threateningly towards Roni.

Felyx held Tom back, "Yo chillax dude. No one accused you. We were just figuring out who was out of bed and who was in bed." He whispered the last part. "The more you act this way, the more people will suspect you."

Tom stopped struggling but still glared at Roni.

"I don't think Joy or Matthew was in bed...but assuming from the way Joy looks and acted when she saw Erise isn't exactly the looks of a killer. And I don't know what Matthew was doing but he wouldn't do something like this." All eyes landed on Matthew.
