1 Chapter 1

8pm

L'manburg Manor

Dream had stopped the car with one jolt which startled the other three detectives.

They had arrived at the manor.

"Were FINALLY here"George complained to which he earned a smack from his friend sapnap.It was quiet harsh and made George whine in pain afterwards.

Detective George was more of a simple guy-figuring out murders from the past-whereas Sapnap was more of a Starting the job guy-he normally went and investigated the crime scenes and that was it unless he had a lead.

Then their newest member-Ranboo who didnt have a great memory so carried a book around with him.Nobody knew what hes specalty was yet but this investigation would sure make the group learn about him more.

"Okay guys lets get out and go talk to the person who owns the manor"Dream said and with that he got out of the car.George was second and he leaped out of the car,making a thud as he landed.

Ranboo and sapnap both got out at the same time and they synchronised closing the door.The Group all met up and together as a group then walked twords the manor.

...

House of Memories

...

Dream had got up to the door;It was a wooden door that looked old.He knocked on it and then he heard footsteps approach.The door swung back and they were met with a tall boy.

"Hello-PHILLLLL the detectives are here!"The boy shouted.They all exchanged looks.

There was a muffled coming as the group just stood there at the front waiting to be allowed in.

"Im wilbur by the way.My Dads the one who called"The boy said smiling weakly.

Sapnap thought that wilbur seemed too happy and energetic for someone whos seen a dead person.

"Im Dectective Dream,this is Detective George"

"Hay"

"Detective sapnap"

"Yo"

"And out new recruit Ranboo"

"Hello"

Wilbur smiled and waved at them all as Phil came up to the door-The man walked away and the group was met with the owner of the manor.

"You must be the detectives,please hurry.I know hes dead but he might still be alive"the person who they all assumed was phil said as they were all let into the main hall.

The main hall was huge with two sets of stairs heading up to the second floor.It was quiet bright for a manor that had just had a death.Each sides had a huge arc enterance to what looked like the kitchen and also the dining room-In the dining room was a firgue that none of hem could make out sat at the table.

They were brought to behind the stairs and then phil opened the door.George was the first to walk in and gasped at the sight;this made Dream walk in after Him.

George was stood infront of a scene that he had never seen before.One of the storgae containers had collasped onto the poor man who was now identified as Quackity.He had his hand out which was holding onto a knife,his arm was crawling up with cuts that made Dream believe self harm but he had no further infortmation to back this up as a suiside.

His beanie was oddly placed neatly in the corner of the room.The walls was splattered in blood and some of the cabnets also had blood on it.Soon Sapnap and Ranboo walked in to which the new guy gasped in horror.

"We believe the cabnets fell onto him and It just killed him"Phil spoke.Sapnap then stood infront of the boys and took out his gloves.He put them on and then held quackitys hand to examine the cuts.

"These dont look accidental nor look like something quackity could do because the lines arnt shaking.From what I can see it looks like quackity was scared before he died because of how his body is placed."Sapnap mumbled.Sapnap was the one of the group that drafted every idea possible.He was quiet smart for someone who only ivestigates the crime scenes.

"So you saying he was murdered?"Phil asked shocked.Sapnap then bit his lip in frustration as he tried to move some of them things to investigate further.Ranboo started to write down in his book to remember things.

'poor quackity'

Sapnap gasped at what he saw as he moved away a few boxes.Dream edged closer to sapnap to see what he saw that would cause this.

"Theres blood over the cake!"Sapnap exaggerated to which both Dream and george groaned.

"Sapnap theres no time to be messing around!This is a crime scene"Dream hastily spat at he man who then stood up holding the cake.

"No no this is serious.The cake was near his head and it has so much blood that it could be a stab injury"He said as he placed the cake down.

The cake was covered in blood but under it you could see the pure snowy cake with icing saying'Happy birthday Eret' and a little bi flag printed at the center.

"Great now I have to get a new cake"Phil muttered.Then someone walked in.

"he-WOAHH WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT"The man said loudly as he staired at the scene.Ranboo turned to face the man and smiled-he wanted to make a friendly introduction to everyone so that they would think of him as a good person.He is a good person but people might think hes bad so this is what he was doing.

"Hey Im detective ranboo"He said as he took his hand out.The man confusinly accepted it.

"Im schlatt"The man mumbled.

He was very scruffy for someone who lived in a place such as this.He had a buissness suit on and the buttons were undone and his tie was half way down his body.Ranboo came to the conclusion that Schlatt had been drinking.

"Schlatt quackity died"Phil mumbled to which the man scoffed.He looked around at the scene and then realised that what he said was true.

"your kidding...no"His voice broke on the no part which made ranboo frown at this.He then scribbled somewords on his book:

'Poor Schlatt'

Sapnap continued to rumage around the scene to pick out the clues whereas dream was talking to george about what to do next.Ranboo was talking to Phil and schlatt about random things-he had forgot what he was doing here so thought it would be appropriate to talk to them.

"Im going to tell everyone about his death"Phil mumbled as he walked out wih a crying schlatt.That made sense now to dream-nobody knew that Quackity was dead yet.

"Poor Schlatt"Ranboo mumbled in sympathy as he wrote down more about schlatt.

Sapnap fell over a box of cheesits and ended up in a little pool of blood.The texan cursed as he got up and took his white top off-he was lucky to have a turtle neck on.Then sapnap looked up and realised that there was something rather interesting.

"uhhhh guys,so you think this is a suiside right?"Sapnap asked the boys.

"Yeah it all leads to it"George told him,both dream and george was now interested into what Sapnap had found.

"Well...does being stabbed in the head count?"He asked as he pulled out a blood covered knife from his head;the blood squirted out and quackitys corpse began to bleed out more.Ranboo looked up and the jumped at the sight of the knife.

The group was all shocked.This now turned into a murder scene-the killer was in this house.The thought of the murder being in the house made Dream shiver.This then made George walk out to go check on the suspects to tell them the newly descovered information.

George walked into the dining room to which the group were all sat.He saw phil reassuring schlatt as all of them had began to cry-I guess he told them all.

"Why would quackity do this?"A boy asked,he was in dungarees with a bee printed into the pocket at the front.He had on a dark green shirt under it and his hair was a messy chesnut brown.

Next to him was a blonde boy with a white shirt with red at the top of the shirt;he had on beige shorts and braces who was patting the boys back.He was as lanky as a stick which made George question why he was this skinny.

Stood against the wall was a tall guy who had a pair of black shades on.He was ,like the boy before, quiet lanky as he wore a naby blue shirt and a pair of black jeans.Next to the boys was a human-fox hybrid that was snuffeling away from all the crying.

By Phil was two boys,one of them was wilbur who George had met not long ago before they walked into the scene.The other one was a human-pig hybrid that had a pig mask on with long pink hair.He was wearing a royal outfit and his legs formed into hoofs.Now george notices that Phil had pure black raven wings and schlatt had goat horns.

"Uhh hey we um found something out"George said.All the soft and red eyes then darted to him-intrigued to know what he had to say.This made George nervous and begin to form sweat from his forhead.

"What did you find?"Wilbur asked George to which he sighed.

"Well Detective Sapnap descovered that this wasnt a suiside but rather...a murder.We found a knife in his head so whoever did it is in this house"George said.

This made The boy in dungarees scream and hide himself in the other boy who had been conforting him this whole time.

"Thats bullshit"The braces boy said so George shaked his head.

"Oh yeah,This is everyone who lives in the house. Tubbo, Tommy, Fundy, Eret, Schlatt, Wilbur, Techno."Phil said pointing to everyone.George nodded and made a wave gesture at them all before walking away.

10pm

L'manburg Manor

Phil had invited the detectives to stay for the night to which they all accepted.Phil had got them all the things they would need for the night and the detevtives were all around the house.Dream was talking with Phil helping him out,George was looking around,Sapnap was still investigating the scene to look for more things that could lead to information and Ranboo was walking around alone.

Ranboo heard munbles come from a room that he was stood by.This interested him as he held his ear against the door-to which he heard odd sounds.It sounded wet and gross.Then Ranboo tripped over his own feet as he ended up in the room.He looked up to see two men kissing infront of him;this made him jump.

"I-Ahh Im sorry"Ranboo exclaimed,he was panicing.

"Its okay dont worry"The voice said, It was quiet deep to which that voice had helped him up.The man brushed off the mess from ranboos clothes.

"I didnt mean to I was just walking around and Im meant to look for clues that could lead to the answer and I-I"

"Hey its okay,just promice not to tell anybody?"He asked.Ranboo realised he was taller than the man that was infront of him-then aswell he is almost 7'0 because of his genetics.

"I wont,Ill forget either way if I dont write it down.Can I know your names atleist?"Ranboo asked.

"Sure Im Eret and this is Fundy"He said as the small Fox waved.Ranboo waved back as he wrote the names now.

"I just put your names down,see"Ranboo showed them to which Fundy exhaled.

Ranboo then lost his train of thought,what was he doing here?What did he need to tell them?Did he need to tell then anything?

"Uhhh Sorry I lost my train of thought"Ranboo openly admitted and Eret chuckled.He then looked over to the fox-hybrid;he noticed faint marks on his neck.

"Why is your neck bruised?"Ranboo asked him.Fundy went a deep red as he then angrily looked up at Eret.

"Asshole,you said you wouldnt do that"Fundy spat agressively.

"I cant help it,your a needy little fox"Eret said.Ranboo then looked over at Eret with his eyes wide open.

"Is he hurt?"Ranboo said with fear in his voice.Did Eret hurt him?

This made Eret laugh.

"No no hes not hurt hes just annoyed at me"Eret said and Ranboo sighed and nodded.

Dream had set out all of the sleeping bags and even quickly went out to grab all their things.The four detectives lived together because it would make working easier so that they could solve crimes quickly.

"Hey thanks for letting us stay for the night"Dream told Phil to which Phil smiled.He placed down the last of the things and stood here slanted.

"No problem,be my guest"Phil told him.

"Hey can I ask something"Dream asked and Phil nodded.

"What was Quackity doing before he died?"Dreak asked him;Phil froze for a second before remembering something.

"He was talking to schlatt at the table and then quackity walked off into the storage room.I followed him and then he looked at me and smiled.I then asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was getting something for Schlatt.I walked out and then went back into the living room."Phil told Dream.He nodded.

Sapnap walked out of the storage room and passed all the evidence that he found in plastic bags to Dream.

"Whats your relations to everyone in the house?"Dream asked Phil.

"Well Its complicated but Wilbur,Techno and Tommy are my children.Tubbo is friends with Tommy.Schlatt,Fundy,Eret and Quackity are close friends to us all so we all moved into together."Phil answered.

George found himself sat down with Schlatt talking to him.He had a bottle of whiskey in his hands and had downed alot of it.This made schlatts movements alot slower.

"Y'know quackity was my bitch.All I asked was if he could get some food from the storage and um-but yeah now hes dead"Schlatt mumbled as he continued to down the drink.

George began to write some of this down into his notepad to tell the others.

"You and Dream look like youve fucked alot"Schlatt said.George felt his cheeks go a little hot at what he had just said-this guy was pissed out of his brains.

"Dream is my colleague,nothing more"George strictly stated.

"Yeah,Yeah I know you like him.I went through your shit"Schlatt mumbled.Then He stood up,slamming his hands on the desk.

"You dont go through my things,I can get you arrested for that"George said and schlatt laughed.

"I cant help it.Im a man of money and If this shit gets me money then Hey,Im in.Besides,I just lost quackity so whats the point"Schlatt laughed as he continued to drink away the on going pain he had in his stomach when he saw quackity dead.

His hand looked so cold.It made schlatt Want to throw up and murder whoever had done it.He wanted to hear Quackitys fluent spanish shout at him over a dirty joke.He wanted to hear Quackity struggling on some english words-making the man laugh at the mexican and correct him.He wanted to tell Quackity everything he was to him but he couldnt anymore which hurt him more.

"You loved quackity?"George asked him as he slowly sat down.

"Fuck yeah,I loved him.I was too much of a pussy to tell him.I hate myself for that...I just want him back.I WANT QUACKITY BACK"Schlatt screamed the end as he banged his head against the table and tears flooded the americans eyes.

George frowned and then moved the bottle he had been drinking from where schlatt was,he moved closer to the broken man and pulled him into a platonic hug.

"I want quackity back"Schlatt mumbled into Georges arm.
