Hello all! 

The author of fanfic "Still Alive Yet Barely Breathing" is holding a Q&A session for the fanfic! Come and join us!

[ruemanorlibrary]

Welcome to Rue Manor Info

So like most of us, I'm heading back to school next week and this week I'm busy working on homework that was JUST assigned two days ago. My school work is VERY rigorous as I go to a very competitive and challenging school and I am in a very challenging major. This means that I will be having less and less time on working on the fic. I just wanted to give you all a heads up and to still love the fic as much as i love all of you fans and readers reading and enjoying it. When I have time, I will write chapters or at least short ones to keep the story going. I have a general idea of how the entire fic will turn out so thats good but the hard part is just writing down the idea into words. Anyways, I hope you can all understand this hiatus of the fic.

Still Alive Yet Barely Breathing

Title of Fic: Still Alive Yet Barely Breathing

Tumblr URL: letthemelodymoveyou.tumblr.com

Summary of Fic: Melina survives Cris' attack. She stays alive throughout the entire "riddle race" and is there until the end.

Shipping: none

Genre: Drama

NSFW: No

As the smoke billowed around her, Melina could think of one thing and one thing only. "Run." She knew that this could be the last chance to save herself, and all she needed to do was be the first to find Giles. As she was backing away, she felt a hand clamp on her mouth and an arm wrap around her neck. She was dragged backwards until she was let go in a pitch black room. 

When the lights turned on, she frantically scoured the room until her brown eyes fell on Cris. She was standing in the corner, her hand still on the light switch. 

"Before you say anything, or scream, or anything like that, I need you to hear me out," Cris said quietly. "I don't trust Kam or Lindsey, but I do trust you. I want to make sure you're safe. I found this room earlier this week and thought it would be a good place to get away for a moment."

Melina was still just standing where she was placed completely in shock, until she broke down in tears. 

"I thought I was going to be killed Cris, Jesus! How the hell did you think it was a good idea to do that?!" Melina exclaimed.

"I'm sorry hun, but it's kinda hard to find time to think about things in this game. I shouldn't have done that, and I'm sorry."

Melina was still just standing there shaking as tears ran down her cheeks. 

"Aw sweetie, come here," Cris chimed as she rushed over to Melina's side. She wrapped her arms around Melina's neck in an effort to comfort her. 

"Thank you Cris," Melina whispered. "It's nice to know that someone is on my side."

As they pull away, they smile at one another. Melina was just relieved to have found a friend in this game. She felt bad for ever thinking that Cris was the killer. Cris was still looking at Melina and smiling, but her demeanor had completely changed. In a way, her gaze was almost chilling.

In an instant Cris had Melina turned around and had wrapped something around her neck. Melina looked down and saw the kukui nut lei meant for Geno's murder collapsing around her neck. She struggled as best as she could, but Cris had too good of a grip. Things were getting fuzzy, and Melina could tell that she was about lose consciousness. She had been duped by someone she had considered a friend. It got to the point where Melina knew there was no chance of her making it out of this alive. 

She felt like this was the cruelest murder that Cris had committed. Not only was Cris taking away Melina's life, but she had also taken away that feeling of safety that Cris had provided to her just seconds earlier. As everything went black she was thinking of one thing only, that she was going to do anything and everything she could to make Cris pay.

Eventually Melina felt her body go completely weak, and the blackness consumed her.

* * *

Melina could see light seeping in between her eyelids. "Am I dead now?" Melina thought to herself. Even the mundane act of opening her eyelids took almost every ounce of strength that Melina had left. As the full light filled her vision, she realized that she was still lying on the floor of the room Cris had brought her to. She sat up and tried to say something, but felt an excruciating pain in her neck and chest. It hurt too badly to speak at all. She placed her hands on her neck and felt the kukui nuts and something wet. When she looked down at her hands, she saw blood. 

If she was dead, how could she still be in this much pain? She was raised thinking that once she died, paradise would be waiting for her. If this is paradise, then she was going to be eternally pissed. Then, she heard shuffling and a faint voice coming from the door. Melina realized that Kam, Cris and Lindsey were still playing the game and that she was still in fact alive. Melina stood up, and almost fell down. She was so dizzy from lack of oxygen, and she didn't know if she could make it to the door without collapsing. But Melina had to find a way to make sure all of Cris's killings were stopped.

As Melina got her bearings, she thought over what must've happened while she was passed out. Clearly there had not been an investigation of her "murder" because she did not wake up in the morgue. Cris must not have made sure she was dead in her haste to return to the group in order to evade suspicion. And the game must not have been over because she could hear people running around frantically outside of that room. 

Melina crawled to the window and hoisted herself up. She opened the window and fell out. As she was standing up, she saw Kam running toward the horse stables. "What the hell could he possibly be doing?" Melina croaked to herself. Melina began to tiptoe around the house to the backyard to try and decipher what the remaining contestants were doing. 

When she reached the back deck, she saw something that almost made her pass out again. The corpse of Ronnie was sitting on the edge of the hot tub, holding some sort of sign. Melina was so horrified by this that she couldn't bring herself to do any further inspection. She walked inside and found three weird looking tables with a large question mark and a screen above them.

After making sure that none of the contestants were still around, she walked up to one of the tables. The question mark was filled with different black puzzle pieces, and the screen read "Run to the attic to find the killer." The other two screens read "Dana and Sasha: Perception" and "Geno: Memory" Clearly the final challenge was to use all of the skills learned from this game in one shot. Melina was about to go up to the attic to help whoever face Cris when she heard some frantic footsteps coming from upstairs. Melina rushed and hid behind one of the curtains. 

Soon enough, Kam bounded down the stairs and put a final puzzle piece in place. On his screen is a long riddle that Melina could not make out at all. Kam grabbed a key in a glass box by his table and rushes off. Seconds later, Cris does the same exact thing. Then, just a little bit later Lindsey came, but she got a different riddle, and ran over to the room that Melina had just been "murdered" in. Without thinking, Melina raced toward the direction that Kam and Cris went. 

Melina was running faster than she ever had before. She had to catch up to them before Cris killed Kam. As she rounded the corner she saw Cris using her key to unlock a door that she had never noticed existed in Rue Manor. Melina approached the door and leaned her ear against it. Thankfully, she could hear everything. 

"There has to be another riddle here." said Cris. "Wait, you're the killer?"

"Not me!" exclaimed a breathless Kam.

"Wait," said Cris softly. 

All Melina could hear was heavy breathing and then a loud gasp. 

"I won't be played by your foolish game. The killer could be you," Cris said to Kam.

"The killer is you!" Kam interjected.

"Or me, just the same," Cris noted with a smile.

"It's definitely you," Kam said. "Are you kidding me?"

"Enough of the riddles, the ruckus, the rhymes. I committed those murders 11 straight times," Cris said. Melina could hear the smile in her voice. Being an actress herself, Melina wanted to put on a little show for everyone. 

"Make that 10." Melina exclaimed as she opened the door. She tried to keep her composure as she looked around the insanely creepy room. She almost lost it when she saw Lindsey with an arrow through her neck on one of the TV monitors. 

"Melina?!" both Cris and Kam shouted. Kam rushed over and scooped her up in his arms. "I am so happy you're alive!" Kam said.

"Melina? What? How-" Cris fumbled.

"I guess your little game didn't work out exactly how you planned, huh Cris?" Melina said. 

At that moment Giles walked in, carrying a large suitcase. When he saw Melina, he nearly dropped it. 

"Melina my dear, you are alive! I thought you were dead!" exclaimed Giles in his perky British accent. 

"We all did," said Cris. "Trust me." 

"Well, umm, I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point. I guess both of you have unmasked Whodunnit! Congratulations!" cheered Giles. 

"No," said Melina, shaking her head.

"Excuse me Melina?" Giles asked questioningly. 

"Kam is the winner. I was supposed to die. I was not the best sleuth in this game. I don't need any of the money or anything like that. Frankly, I'm just happy to have my life," Melina said with a slight smile. "I do want one thing however." 

"Yeah sure, anything!" Kam said. 

"May I do the honors?" Melina asked, pointing at the golden cuffs in Giles's hand. 

"Of course," said Kam. 

"Here you go," said Giles as he handed Melina the cuffs.

Melina grabbed them from Giles, took a deep breath, and calmly walked over to Cris.

"I underestimated you quite a bit there, Melina. You are a fighter, aren't ya?" Cris said with a hint of a smile playing across her lips. 

"Well, I guess that was your mistake." Melina chided as she walked Cris downstairs and out of Rue Manor for good.

Welcome to Rue High ~ Chapter Five

OKAY THE MOMENT IS HERE CHAPTER FIVE! It's not as long as the previous chapters but I hope you all still like it! Drama will be coming soon after the next few chapters! I have a chatroom ready for all of us where we can discuss the fic as well as Whodunnit things as most seemed to like the idea last time. 

Here's the chat link: http://us11.chatzy.com/89657931942375 I hope to see you all there! And ENJOY THE CHAPTER!

After lunch, the day went on as usual. Classes resumed, lessons were learned, and most of Rue High's student body found the new Honors English teacher to be...I guess you can say, quite unique. Since it was the first day of school, Rue High would cut their school day a period shorter than usual to have their annual Student Clubs Fair, an event held in the gymnasium where students could learn about the different clubs and activities at Rue High.

  "COME CHECK OUT THE KNITTING CLUB!!"

"JOIN THE QUIDDITCH CLUB!"

"TRY OUT FOR BASKETBALL!"

  The voices of different team captains and club presidents surrounded the gym as they sought out new recruits. As founder and editor in chief of "The Scoop", Sasha was in charge of her club booth and like the great friend she is, Dana was there by her side to help out.

  "CALLING ALL WRITERS AT RUE HIGH, WE WANNA HEAR YOUR VOICES AT THE SCOOP, RUE HIGH'S NEWSPAPER AND ONLINE BLOG!" Sasha yelled as she tried to grab the attention of the student body

  "Yeah, y'all! Come work with The Scoop! We have snacks and all at our meetings and it is a great opportunity to make new friends." Dana joined in as she tried to help

  "Oh, that pathetic excuse for a newspaper, please…." said Kam as he walked by the booth

  "KAM, JUST SHUT THE F-----"

  "SASHA, keep calm. Don't let him bother you. He likes it when you're angry." Dana interrupted Sasha's comeback

  "Oh, typical Sasha." muttered Kam as he walked away from the booth with a smug smile on his face

  "Kam…can't you be nice to her once in a while?" Kam heard a voice from behind him

  He looked behind him to see Cris standing there.

  "Aren't you supposed to be at the Debate Club booth?" Cris asked Kam

  "Uh….nahh. U's got it. I mean look at him!" Kam replied

  They turned to look at the Debate Club booth and how Ulysses is doing.

  "OMG ULYSSES TAKE ME TO THE PROM?"

  "IF I JOIN, WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?!"

  "OMG YOU'RE SO HOT!!"

  A group fangirls were crowded at the Debate Club booth.

  "Ladies, ladies! PLEASE calm down!" Kam and Cris heard Ulysses say to the girls

  "Oh, poor Ulysses." Cris said "Anyways, my dad's taking me shooting today at the gun range. Wanna come?"

  "Oh, I can’t like I have umm…papers to write and …"

  "Come on, Kam! Ulysses is coming too."

  Kam sighed. "Okay, fine Cris…."

  "Okay! I'm going to check out these booths and all and you go and help Ulysses run the booth. He looks like he needs some help." said Cris after seeing that Ulysses was being attacked by some fan girls "I'll see you after at 3:30, my house. Bye!"

  "Bye…" said Kam

  "Ugh, Kam, why are you acting so awkward around, Cris?" Kam thought to himself "She's just your friend! You can't do anything with her. I mean, she's known you for so long. It would be so weird if you told her how you feel AND it would ruin your friendship. Sighs, at least it's just one more year of being in school with her. I'll be fine. I just have to stay calm and make it less obvious."

  Suddenly loud music starts playing in the gymnasium.

  "GIVE IT UP FOR THE FIGHTING MUSTANGS! WHOO!" Sheri cheered as Ronnie, Geno, and the football players entered the room.

  "YEAH LETTME HEAR YOU SAY HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY RUE HIGH!!! LET'S GO FIGHTING MUSTANGS AND GIVE IT UP FOR THE SENIORSSSSSS!!!" Ronnie yelled

  "YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! LET'S GO MUSTANGS!" the gym cheered

  "DON'T FORGET TO COME AND CHEET FOR OUR TEAM AND FOR THOSE INTERESTED,  TRY OUTS ARE ON MONDAY! LETTME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH RUE HIGH!" Ronnie yelled

  "YEAH!"

  "Ugh, why does everything have to be a spectacle for him?" Kam said as he sighed

  "DUDE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? COME HELP WITH THIS BOOTH!" Ulysses ran over to get his friend

  "You seemed like you were having fun there bro!" Kam said teasing his friend

  "Really? Anyways you coming with us to the gun range?"

  "Unfortunately, yes....I mean I have so much to do like applications and essays and ---"

  "Dude, just live a little. I mean it's just the FIRST day of school. Why so serious? You've also been very jittery and nervous lately. You okay?" Asked Ulysses

  "I'm fine...just essays and all. You know, that stuff. I'm just stressed about getting accepted into Harvard. I mean I'm not THAT stressed." Kam said as he tried to cover up the truth

  "Ooookay….whatever you say man. But just breathe a bit you know. I know you'll get into Harvard. Don't worry." Ulysses assured his friend "Look just shoot some guns at the range to relieve some stress. It will be fun, you know. The Dream Team hanging together. You know Team Super Alliance! Me, you, and Cris, since the beginning!"

  "Hahas…yeah….just me, you, …and Cris."

  "YEAH! That's the spirit. Now, why don't we finish up things at the booth and we can head over to Cris'."

  "Yeah sure…" said Kam

  "Okay, girls. My buddy Kam here is going to help out here for a bit and sign you all up for the Debate Club!" Ulysses said to all of the fangirls waiting around the club booth

  "IF WE JOIN, WILL YOU TAKE US OUT?!"

  "Only if you can write a well-written opening statement for each debate, work consistently on research, and help the team win state champions again." Kam said to the girls

  "Uh…we just wanted a date from Ulysses, not death…" said one of the fan girls as the crowd began to head the other way

  "And that's how you get rid of fangirls…." said Kam

  After the club fest, Kam and Ulysses drove to Cris' house.

  "Yeah, Cris. We're at your door." Ulysses informed Cris on the phone

  The door opens and Cris is in her leather jacket and black skinny jeans.

  "Come in guys!" Cris said as she lead them through her house

  "You look so good…" Kam said quietly

  "Who looks good? Me, Kam? Thanks bro! I worked hard on picking out this outfit."

  "Wait…what!? Oh, no. I was just thinking about….uh….how great Megan Fox looked in Transformers." defended Kam

  "But you told me Megan Fox was overrated?" said a puzzled Ulysses

  "Well…she looked great in that movie."

  "Guys, just hang out on the couch for a bit and we'll wait for my dad to get ready." said Cris

  "Oh my goodness! Is that Kam and Ulysses sitting on my couch! Hello, boys! I haven't seen you in a while! You've both grown up so nicely!" said Cris' mom as she came into the living room

  "HEY MRS. CROTZ!" said Ulysses

  "Hello Mrs. Crotz. How have you been lately?" said Kam

  "I've been great Kam! Just trying to prepare myself for the possibility of my baby girl leaving for NYU next fall! Hahas! How's everything going with you, the both of you. I heard you want to go to Harvard Law while Ulysses wants to go to Georgetown. Both really prestigious schools and you both are really intelligent, young men. And handsome might I add." said Mrs. Crotz

  "Why THANK YOU Mrs. Crotz!" Ulysses said

  "OMG MOM! That's so awkward!" Cris said

  "You say that now sweetie pie but middle school…." said Cris' dad as he came into the room

  "OMG DAD! I NEVER HAD A CRUSH ON THEM. They're JUST my friends." Cris defended

  "Just friends?" thought Kam

  "Remember that day when you were all at that party in the seventh grade and you kissed Ulysses and I remember picking you up from the party and all of your friends were making fun of you and all and ---"

  "DAD! WE KISSED BECAUSE I WAS DARED TO!"

  "Hahahas, but you sure liked it didn't you?" Ulysses teased

  "In your dreams…" Cris said as she shot him a sly smile

  "OH OKAY! KIDS. Sorry I ever brought this up! Let's go to the range now!" Cris' dad said as he began to regret ever recounting that story

  ___________________________________________________________________

  "Hello all! And welcome to the first meeting of The Scoop! I'm Sasha Horne, the editor in chief of The Scoop, and I would like to thank everyone who came out today at Club Fest and signed up! We plan to have our first issue of the year come out by the third week of school. We also have to write posts for the daily blog for The Scoop. So we have different sections that each of you can work on. We have Sports, Entertainment, Health, Editorials, World and Local News, School Information, and Student Life. So who wants to do----"

  "I can take Entertainment! I love music and movies!" said one young man

  "Great! Dontae, right? You were in my Spanish class last year."

  "Yes, m'am! I was!"

  "Great, you'd be a great addition to our entertainment panel! I loved how you used to act out your presentations in Spanish class!" said Sasha

  "Thanks!"

  "Okay anyone else?"

  "Sasha, I'll do the health section! It IS my forte obviously." said Dana

  "Sure! I got you!"

  "Anyone else? We also have a field reporter spot, you know. To get all of the latest news about the school and student life at the school. You would get press access to all school events such as games and parties and all. It's a tough job but it's worth it." said Sasha

  "I'll do it." said a brunette haired girl

  "Adrianna? You always did you know the Editorials and World News and all. This is a change…" said a confused Sasha

  "Yeah…I just want, you know a little change and a challenge, for college applications and all. And you know it's the last year of high school, I wanna go out on a bang." said Adrianna

  "Oh…okay! Adrianna is our new field reporter! Whoo!" said Sasha

  "You can trust me." said Adrianna with a smile

  "Okay, you all LET'S GET TO WORK! We have a big year ahead of us!" said Sasha
