Chapter 1
GrangerDanger:
Hey!
Bellatrix frowned at the newcomer, in bright pink and with a cherry on its head, a stark contrast to Bellatrix’s black with a bandana around her head. She absolutely despised it when people were overly friendly with her, and she would leave the game, but she was finally admin and didn’t want to go through the trouble of getting onto another server.
GrangerDanger:
Do u mind making this private real quick so my friends can join?
Scowling, Bellatrix was about to say no, but they were still the only two people on the server, and she wanted to get started sometime in the next decade, so she typed back “fine” and hoped she wouldn’t regret it.
A minute later, Ginger, Stupid I, and H joined the party and immediately started talking in the chat, the little icon at the top of the screen buzzing incessantly. Yes, Bellatrix thought, this was definitely a mistake, and she set it back to public so others could join.
She tried to forget about “GrangerDanger”, as much as she could with them following her around (gods, she hated it when people did that), and started the game when it was full.
She immediately brightened upon discovering that she was the imposter, along with Riddlemethis, but scowled again when ferretboi left the game, probably mad about not being imposter. She rolled her eyes, then set off towards electrical to lurk until someone inevitably came in to do a task.
Stupid I walked in, completely alone, and Bellatrix smirked. This was the part she loved about this game- it was probably a little concerning to enjoy killing people, online or not, but she was the best at not getting caught. She pressed the kill button, watched as Stupid I was murdered (and, oh, did she love those graphics), and quickly escaped into the nearby vent. Popping up in the hallway, she looked around to find…
GrangerDanger looking right at her.
Shit.
She couldn’t kill her, she still had 30 seconds left in her cooldown period. She stood there, rooted to the spot, hoping that pink wouldn’t move from where they, too, were frozen in place, before the countdown reached zero and….
Dead body reported.
Damnit.
Ginger:
Where.
H:
Nooooo Ginnyyyyy
Riddlemethis:
Where
Player:
Idk i’m new to this game, it was like a dark scary room
Cho:
Where
Oh
Nvm
Electrical?
Player:
Ye i think that’s it
H:
Did u see who
Player:
Nah.
Bellatrix bit her lip, waiting for GrangerDanger to speak up.
GrangerDanger:
Not black, they were doing a task
Huh?
Bellatrix watched as the rest of the players decided to skip this round, and they all appeared back in the cafe. Curious, Bellatrix followed Pink to admin, where they swiped the card and fixed some wires. Feeling quite like a lost puppy, Bellatrix tagged along after them when they travelled to electrical, wondering briefly why she wasn’t just killing them (and then dismissing that thought, it was curiosity, nothing more). They didn’t get too far before another body was reported.
Cho:
Oh rip cedric lol
H:
Where?
Ginger:
That was pretty quick
Loony:
Well we have two imposters
Ginger:
Wtf why
Bellabich:
Where was the body we dont have all day
Loony:
Nav
Didn’t see who did it
Ginger:
I was just with red in medbay neither of us did it
Bellabich:
Just with pink in electrical wasn’t them
H:
Skip?
GrangerDanger:
Yeah
Bellatrix cocked her head again as all of the players skipped the round. Any other player would have reported her immediately- even if Pink hadn’t seen her vent, they should have been suspicious of her following them around everywhere. But, no, they had vouched for her, and let her follow them around. What was with this person?
And back to the game. Bellatrix tagged behind Pink, still curious, going through tasks for a while before getting to Reactor, where Riddlemethis was waiting. They turned to face them, then started toward Pink.
Bellatrix’s finger immediately went to the Kill button, and before she knew it, Riddlemethis’s green avatar was lying on the ground. Not really knowing what else to do, she pressed Report.
Ginger:
Where?
Oh harry’s dead rip
GrangerDanger:
Reactor
Just walked in with black
Wasn’t either of us
What was with this person? Bellatrix wondered, frowning. Not only had they seen her vent, they had witnessed her murder someone! Right in front of them! Why were they not reporting her?
Whatever the reason, they continued on with the game, Bellatrix abandoning Pink for the time being, she had people to murder, after all. After taking out Cho in weapons, though, she wandered off to find Pink again during her cool down period.
Pink was waiting in cafe, clearly done with tasks, and Bellatrix stood around them for a bit before Ginger walked in. Well, that was just an easy target.
And still the only thing that Pink did was walk away from the body. This was supposed to be one of her friends! Why would she choose Bellatrix over them?
Frowning, Bellatrix followed Pink out of the room- it wouldn’t do for her to be caught with a dead body. They headed into Security, where Loony was standing. After waiting for her cooldown period, she killed them. Nothing personal.
Well, now she only needed one more person to win. And it definitely wouldn’t be Pink- no, that would just be cruel, even Bellatrix knew that. No, once she was able to, she would go search for the last player and end the game without killing her new… acquaintance? Ally?
When the game finally ended, she, GrangerDanger, H, Ginger, Stupid I, and Riddlemethis respawned. The chat icon almost immediately started going off.
H:
Hermione how could u
Stupid I:

Bellabich:

Bellabich:

Riddlemethis:

Bellabich:

GrangerDanger:

Bellabich:
Yes.
GrangerDanger:
Thanks ;)
Stupid I:
Guys i think i know why she didn’t report….
Bellatrix’s face flushed. Was this ‘Hermione’ person… flirting with her? Only one way to find out.
Bellabich:
No problem he was being rude to you ;)
H:
Awww
Ginger:
I-
Only hermione
Nev:
Hey could y’all start
Oh, shit. She’d forgotten that they were supposed to be playing a game. Still blushing, and trying not to smile at the fact that Hermione’s avatar had sidled over to hers, she started the game.
