Adam was trying his very best not to laugh when he saw Rachel getting dragged back into the room. She looked like she had given up on life and it seemed that Luna hadn’t even bothered to let her walk as she gripped the monkey girl’s tail in her hands.
Luna’s eerily calm voice echoed in the room. He felt a chill crawl down his spine and he immediately lifted his head.
His instincts told him that continuing to be asleep would do him more harm than good.
Luna cocked her head and asked
"Do you wanna be a witness?"
He instantly shook his head, stood up and then walked to where she had just come from.
"Absolutely not. You ladies have a good night."
Lily who had finally gotten over the sorrow of losing her snacks remarked
"Coward sure ran fast."
Aria looked a bit nervous as she asked.
"Umm...Is Rachel going to be okay?"
Lily cocked her head and asked with a mischievous smile
"Are you asking about her physically or mentally?"
Trepidation filled Aria’s heart as she glanced at the icy expression of Luna who was in turn glaring at the prone unmoving form of Rachel.
"I dunno. I don’t think Luna will hurt her too badly. Too many witnesses right now. She would have to silence all of us in order to get away...Oh.."
That was when Lily remembered how Luna acted inside the game. The savage berserker bunny who spilt blood with a smile on her face.
’Would she actually kill her?’
She couldn’t help but think that as a nervous expression flickered on Lily’s face.
’Luna won’t kill her best friend...right?’
A heavy silence settled over the room.
Luna hadn’t moved since dropping Rachel onto the floor like a discarded sack of rice. Her fingers flexed slightly, as if itching to grip something far more delicate than a monkey tail and the girls were growing more and more anxious.
Rachel to her credit was dedicated to playing dead like she was some sort of possum even as cold sweat was forming a waterfall down her back. From the corner of her eye, Rachel saw both Leo and Adam peeking their head in slightly, watching her suffer from a safe distance.
’These bastards! I will remember this!’
Rachel swore in her heart but still she did not dare move.
"Rachel, do you know what you did wrong?"
Silence. Rachel did not even twitch as she tried to act like she was unconscious.
"Rachel. If you don’t answer me now, I will make you sleep forever."
In a blink of an eye, Rachel was on her knees, bowing towards Luna with her head pressed against the floor, shouting
"I am sorry that I sexually harassed you and accidentally pinned Leo down when I was running away!"
Adam who was watching Rachel pleading for her life whispered to Leo
"Do you think we should try to help her or something?"
Leo shot him a quick dubious look.
"Would you like to keep all of your limbs intact?"
"Then you know the answer"
Adam sighed as he closed his eyes for a brief moment before replying
"Yeah. We didn’t see anything."
Leo nodded his head subtly.
Crystal didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry seeing the utter chaos that was unfolding around her. While she was annoyed that someone had pinned Leo down, she could also tell that Luna was pissed about something else.
Raising her hand slightly garnered everyone’s attention.
"Uhh Luna? Why are you mad? It’s like you want to put this girl on trial or something."
Luna bared her teeth as she growled in annoyance.
"It’s what I noticed in her back pocket that has me livid."
Lily and Aria tilted their heads in confusion while Rachel froze in confusion. She had stuffed a cloth in her back pocket when she was looking for something to wipe her hands after eating some Fudge.
Raising her head, Rachel had a look of confusion as she pulled out the cloth that was folded up neatly.
"This has you pissed? It’s a rag I found in the laundry room when I was trying to wipe my hands earlier."
Luna started trembling on the spot while Leo immediately recognized what that was in her hand. He then started pushing against Adam’s shoulder, quietly whispering.
"We need to go. Now!"
Adam had a confused look on his face as he didn’t comprehend what was going on anymore.
"Just trust me dude."
Adam was skeptical but he decided to follow Leo and entered his room.
Luna’s command was confusing to Rachel who did not see the importance of a single piece of cloth.
Luna’s expression was one that would accept no disagreement. Without any other choice, Rachel could only reluctantly do as she was told and unfold the cloth. However when she saw what it was, her expression went blank for a moment before her face went pale.
"Now do you know why I am pissed?"
Luna growled, as anger began to seep into her tone like an encroaching tide, leaving Rachel to tremble on her knees.
"Care to explain why a pair of my panties were in your back pocket Rachel?"
Rachel’s gaze shook like a leaf in the wind. This was a sort of mischief she had not intended to commit and she couldn’t come up with a reasonable excuse. It was a complete accident but nobody would believe that.
"Lily. Are the boys still watching?"
Lily glanced at the hallway and saw nobody peeking out so she shook her head and shouted
Luna nodded her head with an icy expression.
"Good. So that means we only have to dig one hole."
Aria glanced at Luna with a questioning look on her face.
"We? Did you just say we have to dig one hole?"
Lily placed a hand on the young idol’s shoulder before giving her a big thumbs up.
"We’re accomplices now."
It was definitely an interesting way to start a sleepover. Discussions on how to dispose of a body
