Happy Halloween^^
I’m sorry that I’ve been so inactive this month but I’m hella busy (for the people, who send in requests: I didn’t forget about you. I’m sorry it’s taking so long)
So, I wanted to post this when I’ve finished writing all the parts but I decided you get the first one today, even though it’s not really interesting now. There will be more happening in Part 2
This is an Among Us Story with a shy Purple!Reader and two yandere imposters - no, I will not name them^^
This story was inspired by @pastelbirb ‘s yantober story :) It’s great^^ You should check it out
______________________________________________________________
You had always been the shy member of the crew and most of your time you spent alone, either in your room or doing your tasks. The only other crewmember you had some contact with was Yellow, but she was like a big sister to everyone and just couldn’t bear to see ‘precious Purple’ sitting all on their own every lunch.
You were fine though, as you had always been more of a loner. The only one on board you had some trouble with was Red - he really liked to make fun of you - but the ship was big and now that you had spent almost a month here you knew how to avoid him.
Everything was more or less fine until one day - you were fixing the wires in the storage room - when an alarm went off. It startled you quite a bit and you weren’t sure how to react at first until you noticed some of your fellow crewmates hurrying through the room towards the cafeteria. That was right, you were supposed to go there when an alarm occurred, you remembered.
You were the last one to join the meeting, standing a little behind everyone else. The first thing you noticed was that Pink was crying. Apparently they had found their friend Orange dead in the upper engine room. Yellow was trying everything she could to calm down the pink crewmate while the rest of the group - especially Red and Brown - started to have a very heated discussion.
The killer must be among you. There was no other solution.
You were starting to feel nauseous. This had to be a bad dream. A really bad dream.
As the ‘discussion’ started to turn into an argument it was Blue who calmed the situation down again by holding onto Brown, so she couldn’t jump over the table to strangle poor White.
“Would you all calm down now, please?” His voice echoed through the now quiet room, the only other things to hear were Pink’s sobs and the beeping of the machines. There was just something about him that made everyone else shut up - or maybe it was just Green standing slightly behind him, glaring everyone down. “Let’s sort things out. Pink found poor Orange” Pink sobbed louder again “in the upper engine room. So, the question is, where was everyone else while it happened?”
A heavy silence fell over them until Black swallowed the lump in her throat and spoke up: “Me and Yellow saw Orange in the medbay about one hour ago. Everything was fine then. Yellow stayed and I went to Navigation. Pink was there with me for a while before they went to check on the engine.” “That’s true,” Yellow added. “Orange left a little after Black had, right when Red and Brown came in to do the body scan. We were all still together when Pink walked past the open door towards the engine.” Red and Brown only nodded in agreement.
“So, that counts Black, Yellow, Red and Brown out,” Blue stated calmly while looking at everyone in turn. “Oh, and Pink, of course. As for my part, Green and I were in communications and I saw Purple pass by the room towards storage just minutes before the alarm went off, so it couldn’t have been them either.”
You were never so happy that somebody had noticed you passing by a door as on this particular day, even though you hadn’t seen either of them when you passed by communications earlier. Letting out a quiet sigh you looked at White. He was the only one who hadn’t said anything until now. “Stop looking at me like that,” he snapped when he noticed that everyone was staring at him. Surely Brown would have tried to jump at him again if Blue had let go of her. “I didn’t kill Orange, okay?! I was in admin! I couldn’t have done it!”
“In admin,” Yellow repeated, looking somewhat hopeful. “Did you, by any chance, watch the map then? You would have seen everyone’s location.” White shook his head. “No, I had trouble with that freaking card swipe and didn’t pay attention to it.”
Another heavy silence fell over them. If everyone is telling the truth, you thought, nobody could have done it. Something wasn’t right here.
After a while Yellow excused herself to bring Pink to the medbay. The moment the two of them were out the door Brown fixated White again. “I still think White is really sus,” she exclaimed. “Yeah,” Red agreed immediately. “Nobody can confirm you were in admin!” One could have cut through the tension in the air and Black had long joined you outside the circle. Blue was still holding on to Brown, so her friend Red went for White instead. The white Crewmate threw his helmet at the other. “That damn card swipe shows you the time when it was done in the system you idiots! Just look it up!” With that he stormed out the room and Blue finally let go of Brown. She went over to Red at once to pick him up from the ground. The helmet had hit him on the head and he was bleeding slightly. The two of them followed Yellow and Pink to the medbay.
“I really have to clean out O2. Excuse me,” Black mumbled and hurried down the same hallway as White. That only left you, Blue and Green. Clutching your helmet you took in a deep breath and faced your fellow crewmates. “Blue, you …” He turned to look at you and so did Green. You swallowed. Green scared you. “You said that you saw me pass by communications.” Blue smiled at you, tilting his head. “Yes?” “It’s just … I looked into the room as I passed it by and … and …” The raven haired male patted you lightly on the head before you could finish. “Don’t think too much about it.” There was a dangerous glint in his yellowish eyes. “Still, it’s good that we get to talk to you in private, Purple. Isn’t that right Green?” Green just nodded. You had always thought of him as frightening as he was taller than everyone else on the ship and only rarely said a word. His black eyes didn’t help either.
“Why?” you stammered, shifting your weight uncomfortably from one leg to the other. “Well, you are always on your own and we both agreed that, especially after what happened to our dear Orange, it just isn’t safe to let you roam the ship alone.”
He had a point, but the thought of staying with him and Green didn’t sit well with you. Raising your free hand you wanted to refuse but Green took your helmet from you and started off towards the storage room. While you were looking after the tall man, confused, Blue took your hand in his - a little too tight for your liking - and went after his friend with you in tow.
“You still have to finish fixing the wires, right? And the stuff in electric that Red and Brown told you to do for them.” “How do you even know that?” Even though Blue seemed nice, as he was always with Green you had never really talked to him before.
“Like I said before, don’t think too much about it, honey.”
Whatever was happening here, you didn’t like where it was going at all.
