"Wake up!"
"Rage, if you don't wake up I will kick you in your face"
Rage woke to hear Hollow yelling at him. He rolled over, sighing.
"Is it morning already? It doesn't feel like morning" Rage said, sleepily.
"No, it isn't morning, somethings happening!" Hollow said.
"What?" Rage asked, confused.
"Don't you think I would have told you if I knew?"
Rage sat up, suddenly hearing a weird song playing from somewhere above him. When he looked up, he saw that a holographic image had appeared in the night sky. He saw Fluke and Evanz standing a little further away.
"Hey, you finally woke Rage up!" Fluke said, walking over to us.
"Yeah, I had to threaten to kick his face first though. Only then did he bother to wake up" Hollow said, laughing. Rage frowned, looking back up at the sky. The song was fading, and the image started to disappear.
"Wait, is this what I think it is?" Evanz said. "Remember in the books they would show who was dead at night?" Suddenly Hollow and Fluke stopped laughing.
"You don't think...no..." Hollow said, realizing what Evanz meant. They looked up at the sky fearfully, knowing what would appear next. The holographic screen went black, barely visible against the night sky.
Then it lit up, showing again the strange symbol, which looked somewhat familiar to Rage. He knew he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. All thoughts of that were wiped from his mind, though, as suddenly pictures began to appear, each with a name beneath it. The people who had died. They recognized many of them, as all of them were youtubers. People they had known, if not that well. The pictures flashed across the sky, showing the deaths of the first day. When all ten had been shown, the symbol flashed once more, and the screen disappeared.
No one spoke for a while, none of them really knowing what to say. Rage didn't even make a pun for once in his life. But eventually they sat down again, as it was still nighttime, and fell asleep.
Rage woke once again, this time confused about what woke him. He sat up and looked around, his friends were all still asleep. It was still nighttime, although he could tell that dawn was coming. Suddenly he heard a sound, so soft that he almost didn't hear it. That must have been what woke him up. He heard it again, this time closer. It sounded almost like another person, or some type of creature. He shuddered at the thought of the Fishspiders coming back, and decided he had to go see what it was.
He got up, deciding to let his friends sleep and investigate on his own. He listened carefully, hoping to hear the sound again. He was not disappointed, hearing the strange noise yet again. If it was a person, it was going to find them soon if it kept coming this way. Rage realized that if it was a person, or even a Fishspider, he didn't have any weapons, or anything he could use as one. He knew he had to check though, he couldn't just let them be snuck up on by whatever was making the sound.
He headed off in the direction the sound had come from, deciding to try to stay hidden, and run back if he saw anyone. He quietly moved through the hills, trying not to be heard by anything that might be listening. He turned around another hill to find the forest they had escaped from looming over him. His eyes widened, as he'd thought he had gone in the other direction, away from the forest. He turned around, deciding to try to make his way back and start again, but all the hills looked the same. He was lost!
Trying not to panic, Rage looked around, hoping to recognize something among the endless hills, but there were no landmarks, nothing different. The forest to his back seemed more sinister. He heard the noise again, coming from deep within the forest. He decided he might as well find out what the sound was, he could always figure out the way back later.
He turned back to the forest behind him, and slowly walked in. As it was still night, the forest was darker than before, the shadows making it look completely different. He glanced around, looking for any Fishspiders or people. Soon the hills faded behind him, leaving only the dark forest.
He had only been walking for a few minutes when he heard the sound. This time it sounded very close though, as if it were right beside him. Rage quickly glanced around, but saw nothing, the dark shadows hiding whatever it was. The noise continued, as if someone were running, getting closer every second, but he still saw nothing. Suddenly, it stopped. He listened carefully, but heard nothing. He was scared now. What had made him think going off on his own was a good idea?
He turned around to go back to the hills and somehow find his way back. He had to warn the crew about this. He walked slowly, carefully, hoping that whatever or whoever the sound was hadn't found him. He listened as he walked, in case it was following him. He still heard nothing, and realized that he literally heard nothing at all. The forest was completely silent. Rage started running, wanting to get out of the forest as quickly as possible.
He had been running for a while when he knew he had gone the wrong way. He had only walked for a few minutes, he should have been out of the forest by now. He then heard the sound again, this time he recognized it as someone running. He panicked, choosing a random direction, and ran, not caring where he was going. He heard the person start to give chase, and he knew they would probably catch up. He tried to think of something to buy him time, but couldn't think of anything. The person was gaining on him, and he wondered who it was, what famous youtuber would kill him. There was no way they had separated him from his friends, lured him into the forest, and started running after him, just to have a friendly chat. Rage was out of breath, and he had no idea where he was. The stranger was only a few yards behind him, by the sound of it. Probably close enough to see, if he could look back. But he didn't dare look back, he knew he would fall if he did, and that would be the end of him.
He didn't know how long he had been running when he suddenly burst into a clearing. A large wooden house sat in the middle, looking almost like something you would see in Minecraft. In front of the house, a person stood, as if they had been waiting for him. They pulled out a sword, grinning evilly. Rage skidded to a stop, looking back fearfully, hoping for a way out, just as the person who had been chasing him walked out of the forest, also grinning. He had been trapped!
