《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Mountain》11 Hollow Flames
Advertisement
Calvin, Brooklyn, Ethan, and Sage stood waiting for instructions from the man himself, Giles. The butler stood in front of the area where Trinity had been burned to death. He stood there, pretending to study his watch. In reality, he was stalling. He didn't want this to begin. He just wanted to wake up from this nightmare. Someone in the camp was a killer. Could it be one of the four people here? He didn't want to take the chance of his plan being ruined so Giles finally stopped stalling.
The crime scene was glowing with the light of the great fire in its center. Still left burning, it towered so high, both Calvin and Ethan could have stepped through it. Ethan's eyes traveled the area around him. Almost as though he were calculating everything in his mind. Brooklyn watched him from the corner of her eye. "There's nothing here." She picked up a stick and poked the edge of the fire.
Sage looked to the center of the fire. Most fires had the same inner white glow to them, but this one did not. Puzzled, she picked up a stick just like Brooklyn, but instead of poking the edges, Sage plunged the stick straight through the fire. The flames before her began to flicker. "It's a hologram!" She stuck her finger into the middle much to Calvin's immediate protest. To everyone's shock, the girl's finger was not burnt.
"What the hell?" Ethan walked over and simply walked into the fire. They watched as he waved from inside of it. "We saw her burn!" Brooklyn staggered backward. "What kind of fucking twisted, psychopathic, evil minded fucker fakes burning someone alive?" She stood dumbfounded. Of course there was no response. The others didn't know what to think anymore.

It was Calvin who broke the silence. "I remember how Giles mentioned this in a news article once. The guests were given misleading clues to trick them. This is just like that." He pointed to the holographic flames. "Now we just need to find out where this is projecting from."
Ethan was ignoring him and looking into the center of the flames. There was blood everywhere. He looked over at the others. He decided not to tell them. This was a game after all and what could he possibly gain from giving out information. Ethan brushed a log over the blood and stepped out of the fire. "I didn't see anything in there."
Giles finally stepped forward. "Unfortunately, your time is up. You must now retreat to your cabins to await further instructions." The group of four all startled at once at the voice. Brooklyn turned on her heel and marched down the hill. Soon, all the guests had gone their separate ways. Giles watched them go, then turned back to the fire. "You sick bastard. A holographic fire? Never in my life." He turned and walked down the hill.
