Chapter 3

You woke up feeling as if your ready to take on the world. Your plan for today was to keep an close eye on Red and Purple. Your sure that the imposter is one of them. You climbed out of your bed and did your usual routine. As soon as you finished brushing your teeth, you heard a knock on your door. "Who could that be?" you thought to yourself. You walked to your door and opened it. "Good morning White" black smiled. "Hello" you replied. "Can I come in? I need to talk to you " You nodded and let him come in.

"How do you feel?" He asked, looking at you concerned. You were silent for a moment but then you answered "It's been a while since we had another death." you said with a sad expression. There was a moment of silence between you two. "White, whatever happens, just know that I will always be there to protect you. I won't let anyone lay a finger on you" black said, staring into your eyes. You started to get butterflies in your stomach, buy you quickly snapped out of it. There is a imposter among us, and now is not the time for romance or anything in that line. You have to find the killer and yeet them into space. "Thank you Black" you replied with a little smile. You were about to open your mouth to speak again but Black started talking.

"White, can I ask you a question?" he asked, looking at you with puppy eyes. "Of course" you replied, wondering what the question is. "What is your real name? I'm getting tired of calling you just White" For a moment you hesitated to tell him, but you can trust Black, so you answered his question. "Y/N" Black smiled. "That's a beautiful name. My name is Rian" you both smiled. "It's nice to meet you Rian" you joked. "The pleasure is all mine Y/N" you both laughed. But then reality hit you in the face again. There is no time to stand around and joke while a imposter is still on the ship.

You both walked to the admin to get you list of chores that you need to finish today. After that, you both went in your own direction. You were in O2 alone. You were a bit nervous to be alone but you saw Purple in weapons, so you weren't entirely alone. After you finished all of your tasks, you decided that you are going to walk to Security and keep a eye on the cameras. You need to catch the imposter who killed 6 of your crewmates.

You were on your way to the cafeteria to go to security, when you heard strange noises. It was unexplainable noises but it made your heart beat jump sky high. You slowly peeked around the corner of weapons to look into cafeteria, and that's when your entire body froze coldly. Red was lying on the floor in a blood puddle and Black was standing on top of him. You couldn't move. You wanted to, but you just couldn't. Tears started to roll down on your cheeks.

You slowly turned around to go away and search for purple, but then something grabbed your torso and pulled you into the cafeteria with resulted you falling into the floor. The doors to the cafeteria locked. You were terrified. Black stood over your body. He's suite was covered in blood. He gave you a sinister smile. You both didn't speak a word. He just stood on top of you and watched you. You were crying silently, waiting for him to make s move. Eventually, Black slowly walked to one of the tables and sat down. "Come sit with me" black said, looking at you. You didn't want to move. You were still in a shock.

Black looked at you with a slight hint of annoyance in his face but then his expression changed. He looked tired and sad. "I didn't want you to see this, but, I guess you were going to see it sooner or later." he sighned. "So, why don't you come sit with me and have a little chat." He looked at you. You didn't want to make him mad, who knows what he would do to you. You slowly got up and walked towards the table. Your legs felt like jelly and your heart was beating fast. You sat down on the opposite side of the table right across from Black. You didn't dare to make a sound. Black still looked at you, not taking his eyes off of you. He looked so calm. How can someone be so calm after they just killed one if their crewmates?

"There's no need for you to be scared. I won't kill you. But if you report the body, I will hurt you. Understand?" black looked at you, waiting for your answer. You nodded your head. You don't trust him, but you didn't want to make him mad. You both sat there in silence again for a few minutes, Black just staring at you. You had no idea what was going on inside of his head and it was killing you. Black finally decided to speak again. "Im going to unlock the doors, then you will go straight to electrical." he said. You finally got some courage to speak, but the pitch of your voice was high "Why?" you asked. Black narrowed his eyebrows. "Just do as I say" he said and got up. You quickly stood up as well, but the side of your eye caught Red's body. He lifeless form was lying in a puddle of his own blood. He's neck was twisted in s strange way. Just looking at him made your own neck pain.

The doors to the cafeteria opened and Black looked at you. "Go" is all that he said. The tone of his voice was deep and he sounded very demanding. You quickly did as he said and went straight to electrical. "What the hell just happened?" you thought to yourself. "Why did he let me go?" you stood there in the corner of electric, thinking about what just happened and what you were going to do. "If I can find Purple, then I can tell him everything. But wait, what if Black already got to him?" Your mind started to spin again. "I should go look for Purple. I don't want to be alone and at least I know that he isn't the imposter."

You decided to go look for Purple and exited electrical. You walked towards reactor but then you stopped in your tracks. "What the..." you thought. You saw Black and Purple standing without their helmets, but that's not what bothered you. What bothered you, is Purple's long, black tong hanging out of his mouth. His eyes were a yellowish colour that almost looked like it was glowing. Then you looked towards Black.

For the first time, you saw Black's features...
