Ten Little Odaibans WARNING!!! If scenes of violence upset you, read no further. For those of you upset by this, I do to my characters what I do to yours, remember that. ------------------------------------------------------------ TEN LITTLE ODAIBANS Three cars drove up the driveway leading to the decrepit old manor house. The sun was setting, leaving the sky a briliant red as it sunk beyond the horizon, the growing darkness and cold reminding the travellers that it was very late indeed. In the first car, Dagrus Mishima sat behind the wheel. Next to him, sat Kay and Maxie. Maxie shivered involuntarily. "This place makes me nervous." Kay smirked. "Scared, kid? Don't be." Dagrus did not remove his eyes from the road ahead as he answered. "I guess Tiren won that contest he entered, the prize was a weekend vacation for ten to this manor, so he invited us along." ------------------------------------------------------------ In the second car, Nate drove while Jenn sat in the passenger seat. In the back sat Shadow, with Dagina sitting next to her. Dagina had wanted to ride with Dagrus, but the rest of the group agreed that she and Kay could not be trusted together in the same car, so they had been seperated immediately. Dagina drummed her fingers against the dashboard. "So, why are we up here again? This place looks like a dump." Shadow glanced at her, irritation showing in her eyes. "Would you please stop that tapping for the ninty-ninth time? It's annoying! We're hear because Maxie won some mail-order contest and invited us along to share the prize." Nate and Jenn remained silent. Jenn was tired after the long trip and sat, half-asleep, in the passenger seat. Nate was too busy concentrating on his driving to respond. ------------------------------------------------------------ In the third car, Ray drove while Tiren sat in the passenger seat. Behind them sat Constantine, typing on a laptop. Tiren shook his head, sadly. "Can't you get rid of that thing for a mment?" "Nay, I must make sure my e-mail is checked constantly. 'Twould be a shame if I were to miss an important message." "Whatever." Ray did not look back, but shook his head, sadly. "Guys, calm down. We're hear to have fun after all. We should thank Nate and Jenn for inviting us up here for the weekend, right?" Tiren nodded. "It's a dark day when Ray has to remind us to sit back and have some fun. He's right though, let's relax and enjoy this." ------------------------------------------------------------ The manor doors opened with a loud creak as the ten students walked inside. The front hall was a wide area, with two doors leading off to the right, two to the left, and one straight ahead. A spiral staircase lead upwards toward the second floor. A beautiful crystal chandelier lit up the area brilliantly. "Sorta reminds me of home" said Shadow as she surveyed the scene before her. "Me too" said Ray, looking about. "But even Falcon's place isn't this nice." Dagrus shrugged. "Whatever. I'm hungry, let's eat. There IS food included in this deal, right?" Jenn nodded. "That's what we were told. Probably lots of it too." ------------------------------------------------------------ A few minutes later, rooms were chosen, bags unpacked, and the vacationers were happily sitting in the dining room where a feast had been prepared for them. Plates of food covered the huge banquet table, and a quick trip to the kitchen by Constantine and Maxie proved that there was more out there waiting to be brought in. Soon everyone was seated at the table, sodas were brought in from the kitchen, and everyone sat down to eat. And eat. And eat. Jenn sat back in her chair sipping her sprite. Everyone had quickly moved their chairs away when she'd opened up the can. No one wanted to turn into a girl that night. Suddenly, Jenn began to choke and claw at her throat. Nate, who was closest to her leapt to his feet and ran towards her. Too late, he reached her only to see Jenn convulse and fall forward into her plate. Nate reached a trembling hand to Jenn's neck to feel for a pulse. Paling, he turned to the others, who sat open-mouthed in surprise. "She's dead." For a moment, there was a terrible silence and then everyone began talking at once. "What do you mean, she's dead?" "How did she die?" "This isn't happening. Tell me this isn't happening." "Everybody stay calm!" "Easy for you to say! Jenn's dead!" "This is insane!" "Who is responsible for this villainy?" "Everyone QUIET DOWN!" The last was spoken by Ray, who looked about the room with cold, hard eyes. "If we panic, we get nowhere. Most of you are trained fighters. Act like it." Nate lunged at Ray from across the table. "YOU &%&^*$%$ HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? SHE'S DEAD!" Ray stepped aside and Nate fell across the table. "Because someone has to. If we panic, nothing gets done, and if my guess is right, we've got a lot to do. Don't you think this is a bit strange for an accident? Maybe we should check that drink." Nate glared at Ray, but turned away and, picking up the drink, took a sniff. "Smells strange..." Everyone gathered about. Finally Constantine took a sniff and his eyes widened. "I recognize this...Love Potion 666! Dost thou remember, Dagrus? 'Tis deadly to girls who drink it." "Yeah" said Dagrus. "I remember. I also remember that YOU created it and had it in your lab. Well?" Dagina stood up. "Hey, he's right! But...why? Connie, why'd you kill Jenn?" Constantine waved his hands and backed away. "Nay, 'twas not I! My supply was stolen a week ago, around the time we were invited here. Oh and...don't call me Connie." Tiren frowned. "I remember you going on about that. You were pretty annoyed." Maxie shuddered. "This is so unreal...I can't see any of us doing this. There's got to be anther explanation." Kay nodded. "I agree with her. I bet someone's trying to play on our fear and turn us against each other. We have to find our killer, and fast. ------------------------------------------------------------ end part 1. Edited by: Tiren at: 10/31/01 12:04:46 am |
