《Whodunnit 2》Chapter 20 - Sea Cloud (Re-Wrote)
Advertisement
At 6:55 AM on the dot, Giles opened the spa buildings doors. However, he noticed only six walk through.
Kristina, Brett, Troy, Grace, Cecilia & Chantal all walked through the spa with smiles on their faces. After the past few days of the traumatic game, they were all looking forward to being pampered.
As the six guests all started getting pampered, only one thing was on Giles' mind. Where was Mary & Kendra? The killer made it clear to Giles that severe consequences would happen if any guest was past the 7 AM cut off. The butler assumed one of the women had already been killed off, and that the other was late.
However, the small spa building was sent into anarchy once both Mary & Kendra walked through the double doors of the building at 6:58 AM on the dot.
"Holy shit!" Chantal instantly rose from her seat she was getting a pedicure from and ran towards the two.
"This has never happened," Troy announced to the group, referring to both scared guests showing up alive in the morning.
Cecilia & Grace were both pleased to see their alliance members alive once more, they knew one was soon to probably die, yet they were glad to be able to have their friends with them.
After each guest got their own white robe to wear, Giles read out what special treatment each guest would be getting after their previous treatment. The girls were all getting a hot stone massage via the maids, alongside an individual hot tub relaxation. The guys (Troy & Brett) would just be getting a deep tissue massage.
For an hour, everything was normal. The guests all lounged around the spa and got their treatments. Cecilia was first in the hot tub after her hot stone massage, the single mother heavily enjoyed being able to fully relax. The order after Cecilia was Grace, Chantal, Kristina and then Mary, followed by Kendra.
After the spa treatments were done, all eight guests were instructed by the maids to wait for Giles for further instructions.
Eventually, Giles re-appeared into the spa and had exciting news for the guests.
"It looks like the killer has another pleasant surprise for you all! He or she has decided that we will now have a scuba diving experience like non-other. Please meet me on the boat docks in half an hour. Remember, late attendees will not be appreciated by the killer."

Kendra & Mary were definitely more anxious than the other six guests about the scuba diving adventure. The two women had expected one of them died in the spa (alongside all the other guests) so know they knew that their fate would be decided during the scuba diving expedition.
At all the guests were present at the boat docks.
Giles retrieved eight wetsuits, oxygen masks and oxygen tanks for the guests. Each piece of equipment had a guests name labeled on it.
It was still on the minds of the guests that Paul had died in the very sea they were investigating mere days ago. However, they had to follow the killers' rules.
It turns out the 'scuba diving' was more of a diving expedition. There were no snorkels, (to stay on the surface) All guests were encouraged to go under the surface and explore the stunning coral reefs and crystal blue sea.
Chantal, Brett, Grace & Troy embraced the beauty of the sea. They all intriguingly looked at the coral reefs and made sure to keep their distance, knowing that if they even merely touched the reef it would die and kill its inhabitants inside. They appreciated the beauty of the activity since they knew deep in their minds that the next murder was sure to start soon.
The other four guests (Kendra, Mary, Kristina & Cecilia) were all nervous. Kristina & Cecilia weren't necessarily the biggest fans of water and stayed close to the boat used to take them out to the specific point of the sea. The two scared guests hardly went underwater at all at first and had to be instructed by Giles once more before they both went deep underwater.

It was now twenty minutes since the start of the scuba-diving activity. Most guests were now all sticking to the side of the boat with their feet dangling underwater.
The guests all engaged in conversation until they realised something peculiar was happening.
A large white/grey cloud was emerging underwater. Almost like a bath bomb. It seemed to get bigger and bigger in the ocean.
"Guys," Cecilia sighed. "We've been missing someone the whole time. Mary is still underwat-"
Before Cecilia could finish her sentence, Mary arose from the sea in a panicked state.
The eldest guest ripped the oxygen mask off once she reached the surface of the water and erratically waved around her arms. It was clear she was struggling to stay afloat in the water.

"Help her!" Chantal shouted in the direction of the two guys, assuming they'd be best to try and stop Mary from potentially drowning.
Troy & Brett sprung into action and charged towards Mary.
Both men were able to retrieve Mary from the water and place her on the boat.
By this point, all eight guests had huddled onto the boat alongside Giles and the maids. Giles was at a loss for words. This had never happened in the previous two games, he had never seen a guest seemingly survive a murder attempt. Was Mary supposed to be saved?
"Just keep breathing, Mary." Grace was first to console her alliance member, the author made sure to hold onto the eldest guests hand for comfort.
Mary was laying on her back on the boat, staring straight up at the luminous sun of the Caribbean island. Her breathing was heavy and unstable.
"What happened? What was that cloud?" Brett asked the widow.
Mary tried to form words but she could barely pronounce one syllable before letting out an unbearable wheezing sound.
"We need to get Mary back to the resort. Everyone hang on tight." Giles announced to the group, already revving the boat engine as he spoke.
Within three minutes, all guests were back to the resort. The guys helped carry Mary inside as her health seemed to deteriorate.
"What happens now?" Kendra asked Giles, with hope gleaming in her eyes that this meant that she herself was safe.
"I am as confused as you are Miss Clarke. Please give me and my maids some time to come together and arrive at a conclusion." Giles grabbed each maid away from Mary and into the parlor.
This left the eight guests all in the great room. All of them were standing over Mary, trying to analyse what was going on.
"Mary, what do you want to do?" Troy asked, feeling genuinely empathetic for the guest. It was clear to him that Mary had to have been the next victim. It was just a matter of time before she passed.
With a weak finger, Mary pointed in the direction of her room. Which was directly opposite the top of the marble staircase.
Troy scooped up Mary and brought her into her room. The guests all followed behind. It didn't take long for Giles to also appear.
"Guests, it seems that Mrs. Banes health is getting worse. We would like to offer each of you the chance to say goodbye. Each of you will get a five-minute private talk with Mary in this room. You can choose to either talk or just be there for her. Please decide on an order."
"No! This isn't right. You can see what this means can't you? The killer is going to get to have alone time with her. You're practically leaving her to be bait." Cecilia rose her voice at the butler.
Chantal agreed "Yeah, isn't there another option? I doubt she wants to be in a room with just one person at this time. This can't be allowed to happen."
"It is the decision myself and the maids have arrived to," Giles said in a harsh tone. Obliging with what the killer had actually told him to do this morning, in a private letter.
After many minutes of arguing back and forth between Giles, the guests had to agree on an order. They chose the order of Kristina, Brett, Troy, Chantal, Cecilia, Kendra & Grace. The group all agreed Mary would probably want to see the people she had become closest too last in the group.
Alas, by all the guests had spoken to Mary on her deathbed. Each guest who came out of the room noticed how her condition was getting worse after every guests' visit. They all agreed there must have only been little time left for her. It was an extremely emotional ordeal for her alliance members, who didn't find it fair that the guest was being put through such physical torment.
At 11:30, Giles and the maids presented an early lunch. Baked Pyrizhky with Chicken Hearts. All of the guests avoided eating the hearts. Not finding the appetite after what had transpired.
All the guests knew it was only a matter of time before Mary passed. However, they didn't expect the small thud which came from the direction of Mary's room, alongside the cascade of smoke which started quickly filling out of Mary's room. All the guests stayed at the bottom of the staircase as Giles went to Mary's room alone (for safety precautions). When Giles inspected Mary's room and closed the door on the way out, they all knew what was coming.
"Mary has been killed. We are now down to seven."

Universe 2.0
An earthman boy, William, was extremely interested in space travels. He got two techniques from his father, Mighty, who was a world-famous physicist studying faster-than-light space travels and his mother, Sally, who was a biology professor at Columbia University. However, he was sometimes not so confident. This meant that he would rather not believe that he was actually very powerful. Due to this, Mighty and Sally decided to boost his confidence. He set out and began his space travel, yet he came to another universe, which was surely unexpected! He had partners, including a female clone man, Ranran, whose prototype was William's physics teacher and head teacher; a fighter plane, Photon, who looked like a fighter plane in WWII; a racing car, Natalie Hurricane, who had crazy performances. The party used an energy core to travel through a black hole and a five-dimensional space when they reached that universe, but unfortunately the energy core lost all the energy. So they had to go to all checkpoints on three planets to collect all energy, because only in this way could they go back to their universe. Yet what would they encounter while they travel in this universe? Would they be able to go home?
