               AN AMONG US STORY Part 11 It was ejection time, I didn't even feel any pity for Red and Black as I watched them floating in space, gasping for air. It serves them right. I was angry at myself for trusting Red, for failing to protect Yellow, for blaming White and overall messing up big time. I just sat there, staring into space. Numerous stars blinked at me. I wondered if I should've been the one to die.   I felt someone stand next to me. It was White. I realized I didn't properly apologize yet. He cut me off before i could open my mouth. 'It's all in the past now, Green. Don't worry about it . When I was small, my mother used to say that everything happens for a good reason. You shouldn't blame yourself. It was supposed to happen. Don't apologize for blaming me but there is something you could for me.' He looked at me nervously. 'What is it?' I asked, willing to do anything. 'I'm quite lonely most of the time. I always

              AN AMONG US STORY Part 10 'Okay.. what happened?' asked Lime. 'Black and I were going to Reactor when......' said Red. Where was he going with this? 'When..?' urged Brown. 'When... I saw White and Green jumping out of the vent.'  'Oh My God, you liar!!' I shouted angrily. 'How could you, I saw you talking about Yellow IN THE VENTS.' My voice broke. 'He was threatening to kill us if we told someone.' He started crying fake tears. Black continued 'Green was just pretending to be nice, he's actually a cold-blooded killer. Please listen to us and let's vote him out.' 'Yellow was my best friend, you were too. I would never kill him! You were the one with fake smiles. Plus you forgot something, Red.' I smiled at him and looked at Pink. She seemed to get my message. 'Well Red, just before the first meeting was called, Yellow and White scanned, in front of me.' She came over to my side. 'G

                AN AMONG US STORY Part 9 'Uhh... why are you closing your eyes?' Wait, why did that sound like white? 'W-White?' I said turning around. Thank god it was White. I have to tell him everything. And then I realized I was holding my breath. I let it out. 'Yeah, its me' said White. ' It's Purple and Red, they killed Yellow!.'I said.'We have to tell the others and then-' 'Calm down, I heard everything too. I'm sorry for your loss. Yellow seemed like such a nice guy. 'He was' I said, trying not to cry again. 'Yeah...' 'And one more thing, I'm really sorry for falsely accusing you. Purple told me everything. I apologize, I saw you going to the reactor and...' 'You know, maybe this isn't the best time to apologize, but apology accepted. I guess I would've done the same thing if I was in your place.' 'Thank you, I feel much more relaxed now.' Me and White ran as fast as we could

                  AN AMONG US STORY Part 8 I got up and started running. I wanted to forget what I just saw. I wished I had never come to this horrible place or made any friends.  Red...... how could he. Yellow was so nice. That merciless monster. I will avenge him no matter what. I tried to push the image of Yellow's body out of my mind and continued sprinting. Hot tears blurred my eyes, but I had to find someone. I could hear footsteps behind me. They were getting closer.  They sabotaged reactor which was in the opposite direction so that everyone would go there. My legs were getting wobbly. I couldn't keep up the pace anymore. Suddenly someone covered my mouth and pulled me behind a wall. It had to be red, he wasn't behind me. So, no one will ever know the truth. I'll die too, just like Yellow did. And I closed my eyes, prepared for the worst..........                                                         ******************

              AN AMONG US STORY Part 7 I couldn't find him. I checked everywhere. Cafeteria, Storage, Admin, Electrical, Reactor, Navigation, the Lower Engine, the Upper engine, O2, Weapons, Comms, Security, Med bay everywhere except Shields. So, I started walking towards Shields, when I heard a sound. It sounded like someone was speaking but it was muffled. It came from the vents. I couldn't make out what they were saying. I would have to go closer. I went closer and crouched behind a box. 'Did you kill him? 'Yeah, you should've heard him scream. The poor guy didn't even last a day at AU' 'Be careful not to get caught' 'Who's next?' 'Green' 'I thought you wanted to kill him last?' 'I know but if I kill him now, the blame will fall on White as they had a little fight.' 'Cunning,' 'Enough chit-chat, it's getting hot in here' Unfortunately, my shoe moved the box and made a noise. 'Did you hear

                                  My Friend and I We always stand out. We know we don't belong with the others. We know that no one can snuff out the the flame burning inside us. We know that it will burn brightly forever, not even flickering in the slightest.  It took a couple of months for us to become.... friends . I have no idea why. It's something that annoys us both. But the few months I got to spend with her, before school closed, were the best in my entire life. Then came the dreadful virus, tearing us apart, causing us to stay behind walls with no mode of communication other than distrustful devices called mobile phones. We rarely had time to talk and I was worried we'd drift apart. I was worried that she was hurting. I was hurting. I missed her intelligent smiling face, I missed her voice, I missed the times we used to exchange books and wait to meet each other the next day so that we could talk about it together, basically, I missed everything about her.  We read
