Line 35:
Justin, Katie and Sam tried very hard not to let their guards down, but as the tension grew it became harder and harder to not trust anyone else. Their meetings were often, but still, it was lonely. One day, Katie and Justin sat in Sam's cabin in silence, waiting for him. As the minute ticked by, Justin grew depressed. "Katie," he broke the silence, "Talk to me." 'What about?" she mumbled. He didn't like to see her so dejected. "Anything but this. Our plans for the upcoming year, maybe. Or where to go on the honeymoon." She sighed. "Justin, I want us to get out of here, with everything solved, so we can forget this and be a normal couple, forget that our marriage was based on the shock of a friend's death. Until we get an opportunity to do that, we have to focus on this." "I don't want you to focus on something that makes you not you." She jumped to her feet in anger, but whatever she wanted to say was stopped as Sam stepped in. "Sorry I'm late. I needed to talk to Sarah." "It's okay. Haven't you wondered why nobody else has died yet?" said Justin. "I'm wondering about the police," Sam replied. "Two people have died in the same week, in the same camp. Do they have pixels for brains?" "Seems like it. But instead, we have to investigate. What the Netherworld are they thinking?" Katie nodded. "Morons. Sometimes I think they believe it's just pretend, like it's some big game, and we're just a storyline, or stimulations with nothing to worry about. People are dying! If we don't solve this as a first priority, whoever did it will go unpunished," she said, with a pointed look at Justin, which he ignored, continuing, "I don't know what's going on here. Maybe the killers are just trying to make us relax. Whoever they are, they're making it sound pretty tempting." Sam nodded. "After this, I swear I'm going to relax in my hot tub at home, relax everywhere at home, and nothing will keep me from that." Katie nodded. "I feel just like you. You know ''I'' won't stop you." "I know you won't," Sam muttered. Then in a brighter tone, "I wouldn't let you." The rest of the meeting was fairly normal, asking about ideas that no one had, fidgeting around until it was over. As Justin steped outside, he almost ran into Agatha, who had been standing outside the door. He was about to pull her into Sam's cabin to interoggate her but she stepped away. "Shh," she whispered, shaking. "I have to talk to you."
 
As they entered the kitchen, Justin pulled a knife from the knife holder. To be on the safe side. Agatha went and sat at the table, burying her face in both hands. He sat down across from her, setting the knife on the table. At the clang, Agatha looked up in alarm. "What's that for?" she asked. "Whoever killed June and Aaron," he said grimly. "Please no," she whispered, then shook herself and continued. "I was- I was sleeping in my room and I heard a weird clattering noise. It woke me up. I looked to the side and- and- Oh plumbob! Sarah was there, and she-she had a gun, and- it was pointed at me!" She shook violently. "I didn't really realize what was going on, it was a lot to take in when I just woke up. I- I asked her what she was doing with that gun, and where she got it, and she just sat down on the bed and said everything. When she was a little girl, her mother commited suicide, and her fathermade Sam move out before he was ready. Sam was always unstable, and something snapped. He homeschooled Sarah, and all she says is that she won't talk about those years. She seems to think that all she's supposed to do is obey Sam without question. She knew that earlier on, Sam's realationship with Mary wasn't safe. She cheated on him- with- with Aaron." Agatha took a deep breath. "He was furious when Mary got pregnant. He- he thought it wasn't his." Justin remembered the words on the page. 'kill the father.' "He decided to kill Aaron and put the blame on Mary so she would go to jail. And- he- he was sick enough to try to kill us all to mask it! He wanted Aaron dead first, but Sarah made a mistake and poisoned the wrong coffee. She got it right the second time. thTh-then we started to be friends, but-" she paused, beginning to cry, "I was going to be next!" She stopped and just sobbed for a long time. "Do you know why?" Justin gently said. "No!" she cried, her makeup forming dark tears over her face. "How could I know? I- I thought we were friends! But- but..." her sobs choked her words. Justin did his best to try and comfort her as he lead her back to her cabin. He gave her the knife from the kitchen and went to find Katie, to help him keep watch. The two of them sat by the bed all night, trying not to doze off. "Justin, is it really worth it? The whole strain of life and death? We're the only targets. If we just die, Sam will be done and no one else will get hurt. Maybe that would be better. Look at what's happening to us," Katie said grimly, nodding at Agatha, tossing and turning as she tried to sleep. "This is just so twisted. I thoughtdon't know how I've stood it so long. We could bejust happy!pull But-the butplug on the whole Sim thing. We could stop." "Why would you want to, of all people? You never give up. You keep pulling. You're the strongest woman I know." herKatie sobsjust chokedshook her wordshead sadly. "You don't know. You don't know how much I cry when I'm alone, even before this. I was never okay with my life. When I was four, my mom put me on the orphanage steps and said, 'Wait here, Katie'. I did wait. Until I found out she was never coming back. I poured my soul into my music. I had to be strong, then. It was better than crumbling so people feel like they have to carry you. That's the real reason I couldn't marry you." Justin was taken aback. "You married me now." She sighed. "I shouldn't have. I wasn't ready. It was just the shock of a friend's death, I guess." "So, this marriage is a ''mistake?" "''I'm sorry, Justin. I shuld have told you everything when you asked me to marry you. I was still too hurt, though. I really loved Mom, but she chose to leave me there. It broke me. Like this is breaking me."
