"Squids can do that?" Jess squeaked.

"I guess they can..." Max muttered.

As I looked around, everyone looked a little sick. I couldn't blame them. I felt like puking.

  "Let- let's go upstairs..." Barney said, "I'm really starting to hate it down here."

We all went up, and discovered a new level of the building. When we explored, we discovered an art room, Game room, a workshop, and...

"AHHH!! A LIBRARY!" I squealed. I hoped they had manga...

   That next night, I heard a knock on my door. I was hesitant to own it at first, but then shrugged off my paranoia. Monokuma hadn't offered any incentives. Yet, anyway. To my surprise, Dan was there.

"Hey Lizzie, may I talk with you for a moment?" He asked.

  "Yeah, of course Dan!" I said.

I sat on the edge of my bed, and I let Dan sit in the swivel chair at my desk.

"So what's up?" I asked.

Dan took a deep breath.

  "I've done something awful..." he began.

  "Dan, please don't tell me you killed someone." I cut across him.

He shook his head.

  "No, but I might as well have..." he said sadly.

He looked so sad, but I couldn't believe he'd done anything as bad as killing someone. We'd only known each other for about a week, but he already felt like a best friend to me. Despite being several years older.

"What happened, Dan?" I asked.

He opened his mouth to speak, when Monokumas voice crackled on from the intercoms.

  "Alright rug-rats, A mandatory meeting is starting in the gym in three minutes! And if any student misses it, they face punishment."

  "Let's hurry" Dan decided.

We all made it to the gym. Monokuma stood on stage, as per usual, with tarp over something huge behind him.

"We need more murder in here Students!" He started.

"No way!" Max yelled.

  "Nononono...." Jess started to say.

"Aww, don't worry chick-a-dees! We've got a large reward for the student who can get away with murder. How about..." Monokuma starts, pulling the tarp away, "Freedom and Ten million dollars?"

A huge stack of bills had been covered by the tarp. That wasn't good. I could already see hunger in some eyes.

"That concludes this meeting!" Monokuma said.

  "Jess, what's wrong?" Dan asked.

I looked at Jess, who looked more upset than usual.

  "I- I think I saw Red's Ghosts!" She squeaked, "last night"

"Wait, ghosts? As in plural?" Max asked, confused.

  "Is that possible?" Nick asked.

  "I'm not sure... I couldn't sleep, so I thought that I'd read in the library to calm myself down... I found this room, and there were these guys that looked like Red..." she rambled.

We made our way up to the library.

"Let's check it out." Sasha said.

"Let's" Ashlie said.

The two tried to go in at the same time, which didn't work.

  "Hey, move over, will you Bañaña head?" Sasha growled.

  "You first Cotton Candy hair" Ashlie snapped back.

  "Um, just go?" Tommy suggested.

Eventually, we all got in, and Jess showed us the room.

"The ghosts were over here..." she said.

We looked around, searching for supernatural activity, when Ross said,

"hey, here's... something."

We gathered around... a laptop computer?

  "Does it work?" I asked.

Max clicked a couple buttons, and the screen lit up.

  "How'd you do that?" Em asked.

Max shrugged.

  "No idea, I was just guessing" he said.

A face appeared on the screen.

"Red!" Ashlie gasped.

Then, the weirdest thing happened. Another face appeared by Reds, a yellow one. Then a green one, a blue one, and then a pink one that looked more like a girl Red then a boy Red.

"Hi, I'm Yellow!" The yellow one said cheerily.

  "Green" the green one said indifferently.

"Oh, hi. I'm Blue" the blue one said sadly.

  "And I'm Pink!" The pink one said in a girls voice.

"Holy..." Tommy started, then trailed off.

Olivia sat down in front of it.

  "There's a chat bar." She said.

She typed:

who are you?

In to the bar.

"Well, our master created us, so I guess we're like his Family." Yellow said.

  "Like, The Vacktor Family?" Nick asked.

The heads pondered this.

"Guess so." Green said, shrugging imaginary shoulders.

"Um, speaking of our Master, where is he?" Asked the red one.

"Uh...ok, let's be gentle about this..." Dan started,

but Olivia already typed:

Adam strangled him.

  "Dang," Max said, "that's cold..."

the blue head sighed, looking close to tears.

"It- it's alright... Masters survival rate was pretty low. He knew he probably wasn't going to make it...." he said.

Blue looked so sad, I wanted to hug him.

"Hey, Vacktors, you're connected to the schools systems right?" I asked.

All heads nodded in unison.

  "Could you, like, see if you could find any interesting that could help us?" I continued.

"Now that you mention it, we found a weird pictures on one of the schools old data files. We were going to show master, but..." Pink started.

  "Yeah..." Sasha said.

  "So what's this picture?" Ashlie asked.

  "Just a second..." Red 2.0 said, the family disappeared as an image filled the screen.

An impossible image.

Red, Adam, and Corey, together, and smiling like best friends at the camera.

"Are they alive? Somewhere?" Ashlie asked.

  "Of course they're not! We saw two of their deaths ourselves." Olivia said.

She stood up and looked around.

"Hmm, another curious detail..." she said, probably to herself more than us.

"Uh, mind spilling the curious details?" Max asked.

"What do you all notice about this room that makes it valuable to us?"

It took us a little bit, but finally Em said,

  " it doesn't appear to have any security cameras."

  "That means the bear can't watch us in here!" Ashlie cried.

  "Brilliant deduction Sherlock." Sasha muttered.

"You wanna say that to my face Cotten Candy butt?" Ashlie snarled.

"Any day, Banana Breath!" Sasha snapped back with matching ferocity.

"Guys, can you two-" I started, But Sasha had already stormed out.

"Ten o'clock scrubs! Curfew! Get to your rooms or face punishment!" Monokuma crackled on the intercom.

We did, and I slept fitfully.
