Blaza shivered. These covers were way to thin, And it definitely didn't help that half the ship thought he was a murderer.
Ever since Meme died, guards had been placed beside Blazas bed to make sure he wasn't lying about being too injured to stand and didn't sneak off.
The guards they'd placed were Bruh Moment and Dino, who both sat in lawn chairs on either side of him, eying him closely.
Blaza glanced at each of them nervously, scared they'd... he wasn't sure what they'd do, but it made him nervous.
Both of them believed he was a killer, and neither cared to have any form of conversation. They treated him as if he were some sort of monster, and with a jolt he realized they probably thought he was.
Blaza pulled the covers up to his nose, feeling like a child hiding from some sort of monster in the closet. He wished his blanket were warmer.
Bruh leaned down suddenly, and Blaza froze in fear. Thankfully, he was just grabbing Memes notepad. He read it over, casting sideways glances at Blaza every few seconds.
Eventually Bruh set the notepad down and continued eying Blaza. The lights flickered, sending the room into darkness.
Blaza screamed in pain as Dino landed on top on him, not seeming to care about Blazas injuries.
"You're not going anywhere, you monster." He hissed, holding Blaza down. "Ow ow ow ow ow" Blaza moaned as pain shot up his arm.
Dino gripped him harder, sending another jolt of pain up his arm. He screamed, the pain unbearable.
"Oh how the tables have turned." Dino snickered. "Now the killer can feel pain." He said, squeezing harder.
Blazas screamed again, attempting to wriggle free from Dinos grip, but only sending more pain through his arm.
"Blaza!" He heard Socks say. The lights were still down, so he couldn't see where he was. "What's happening?!?" Socks called out.
Blaza was vaguely aware of Socks stumbling around, probably trying to find Blaza.
He whimpered as Dino gripped him harder, his voice to worn out to scream. "Please... please stop..." he wheezed. He could feel another form land on the bed, pushing Dino off.
"Blaza? Oof-" he heard Socks say as he crashed into the bed.
Wait, if Socks was on the bedside, then who had saved him from Dino?
The lights flickered back on, and Blaza stared in horror as he saw Dino.
His limp form was slumped over the nightstand, a stab wound piercing his stomach.
"What-" Socks mumbled, his eyes locking on the body.
"No..." he whimpered. "He can't be... how...?"
Socks shuddered. Socks reached for his watch shakily, and Blazas watch buzzed, a hologram of Dinos body arising from it.
Everyone rushed in, most of them glaring at Blaza. He was vaguely aware of their accusing shouts, but he ignored it.
He curled into a ball, willing this all to go away. He wished more then anything he'd wake up and this would all be a bad dream.
He hugged his aching arm, his head throbbing. That was two people that had died in the same room as him now...
"I say we eject him." TBVG said. "I-I don't know..." Nadwe stammered. "That's two people dead with him now. Two!!!" Tbh said angrily. "It has to be him." Socks looked away. "I... I'm not going to eject him. He couldn't have done it, I was there. He didn't even get out of bed." He said, though it was clear his heart wasn't in it.
Blaza felt a pang of sadness. Socks didn't trust him anymore. Socks, the person who'd stayed by his side for as long as Blaza could remember. Which, to be fair, wasn't long, but was also all he knew.
"Fine! Let him stay and you'll die." Bruh announced. "Youse're makin' a mistake Socks." Laff said, shaking his head.
Slowly, everyone but Socks left the room. The pain in Blazas arm was fading now, but it still ached.
"I-Is it really you?" Socks stammered.
"N-no!" Blaza answered, taken aback. "I... I don't know if I can believe that... as much as I want to..." Socks looked to the floor.
"I don't think I'd believe me either." Blaza said solemnly.
Whoever the impostor really was, they were doing an unfortunately good job of framing him.
