"C'mon, dude! If we don't hurry we might get ourselves killed!" Yelled Nial while pulling my arms in hurry.
"Something's not right..." I scratched the back of my head and saw a broken body holding a note. My curiosity urged me to read it, I crouched and reached for the note. Before I unfolded it Nial held my hands and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea, Stephen..." He said whilst trying to not show that he's shivering but failed miserably "The blood written says that we shouldn't read it... Y'know it might be a curse like that one game called C-"
"Nial, this is reality, nothing cursed will happen if I read it." I cut him and unfolded the note "And besides, if it was cursed I won't let anything happen to you so chill buddy" The handwriting was so bad that it was worse than Scott's handwriting... Wait, who am I kidding? Scott's is waaaay worse.
Thou that stumbled upon this forest shall suffer in pain and sorrow,
death shall be thy dream to end this havoc
Thy the blind fool shall be tormented to eternity
Not a soul will be able to save thou for thou never listened to the advices given to thou
The nightmare has just started
"Tsk" I threw the note.
"S-so? What did it say...?" Nial looked at my eyes and eagerly waited for my answer. I couldn't just tell him the truth could I? It might freak him out... But I don't believe in this crap written though...
"Well..?"
"Some crap the dead dude wrote to his wife or something," I left as I maintained a normal monotone to just make my lie seem real to the brunette.
"Huh..." Nial stood for a while until he snapped and tried to reach me "Hey! Wait for me!"
-Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring-
Nial answered,
"Hey, Ramona" Nial seemed preoccupied talking to Ramona, so I left him and searched the room.
I looked around the room but I found a single door, I was certain that there were 2 doors... I opened the door and saw a room with nothing but a figure stuck to the wall bleeding fresh. The walls were painted with blood.
My heart beated harder and faster as I saw the figures eyes staring at me. Gaping, Jaw broken but still alive.
"N-Nial..." I stuttered, my voice was low out of fear, I felt my body going numb as the figure tried to move it's head and stare at me.
"Yeah, both me and Stephen are alright. Still didn't find Scott, though.." Nial, still talking to Ramona in the other room.
"Ugh r-r ...uuun" The figure spoke, which made my heartbeat skip 3 beats in a second. I held my chest and wheezed.
'W-what the... why can't I breath..?!' I wheezed and fell on my knees "N-Nial... h-e..lp"
The figure cried and it's eyes were focused on something behind me. "Uguugh nooo..."
Before I could look back I felt something hard hit my head, I fell flat on my stomach, feeling something wet at the right side of my head, and drooled blood. My eyes lost it's function and everything went to black.
Ramona's POV
I turned off the phone and sighed. Thankful to know that both Nial and Stephen are alright and worried sick about Knives, Wallace and Scott...
"Think She'll be alright?" I said, not looking at Kim as she stitched Knives's injuries.
"Hopefully, she lost a large amount of blood" she finished stitching and then placed bandages over it. "And besides, Knives would never let such things kill her if she didn't reach her goal, right?"
I smiled and looked at Knives "Right". I removed my jacket and placed it over my half Chinese friend to help warm her up.
Kim wiped her forehead and asked sarcastically "So, what did the derp say?"
"He said that both him and Donkey Kong are alright" I answered, trying to look serious.
In less than 2 seconds both of us burst out laughing at our lame jokes that others won't find amusing. Heck, anything dumb in this place can actually make you laugh. Or maybe we just happen to be lame.
The fire Kim made actually helped us feel warm and cozy. Thank god she was with me or else I'll freeze to death.
"Thanks, Kim.." I said, "Without you I totally wouldn't survive here.."
Kim blushed as she didn't know how to react when someone complemented her "You don't need to thank me... You would've done the same to"
"I hope Scott's fine..." I hugged my knees closer to me and covered half of my face.
"Me too..."
-Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring-
'I hope that it's Scott...' I picked up the phone from my pocket and answered.
"Hel-"
"RAMONA! STEPHEN'S GONE!" Yelled Nial.
"W-What?!" I felt an adrenaline rush in my body and stood. "What happened?!"
"I TOLD HIM NOT TO READ THE NOTE BUT HE DID NOW HE'S GONE!"
"Nial! Calm down!" I said, trying to calm Nial. Knowing he'll suffer from a painc attack or hyperventilate if this kept up.
"THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND A DEAD BODY FACING DOWN"
"Nial! Listen to me you need to calm down!"
"STEPH- *Wheeze* I CAN'T *Wheeze* " He muttered words that I couldn't understand.
"Nial! Stay where you are and send me your location, we'll help you out and then search for Stephen, alright!"
I ordered, knowing that if he was hyperventilating there would be a low chance he could survive or that he can do as I ordered him to.
"Kim, stay here with Knives! I need to help Nial, I'll explain everything later" I ran and tried to find Nial as fast as possible.
Knives shivered and slowly tried to open her eyes, but only managed to open one of her eyes.
"Y-you're alright..." Kim could feel her eyes tear, she didn't cry often and not in front of people, but this place could get you to break down...
"K-Kim..." Coughed Knives.
"It's alright, w-we will survive this nightmare..." Kim finally cried uncontrollably, and hugged knives close to her but not tightly.
"Wallace..." She couldn't talk for she kept on coughing and had a dry throat.
"Knives, drink this water and rest" Kim helped her half Chinese friend drink. "I promise everything will be alright"
As Knives drank water, she felt at least a bit better and then went back to sleep.
Wallace's POV
"Guy, I have a bad feeling about this" I said as I looked at the broken ladder that lead under the cave, it was wet and the water was a bit high. Like, it could reach a person's knees.
"But that's where the voice called, so let's go!" Scott, trying to look as a hero as always tried to climb the ladder downwards. Before he could I pulled his shirt.
"I think it'll be better if I try it first" I said, as I walked closer to the ladder.
"Huh? But why not me?" He angled his head at least 45 degrees and tried to figure out why.
I laughed and simply answered "Because I'd admire your butt as you get down." Sure that could be a second reason why I want to go down first. However, the real reason of why I wanted to go first was to ensure Scott's safety.
"W-WHAT?!" He blushed and shook his head. "You wanted an answer, guy. And you got it" I tried to hold back my laughter but Scott heard it anyways.
As I reached the lower level of the cave, it was actually cold and dark. I turned on my flashlight, the place looked blue and safe. I felt a cold breeze as if it wants to lead me to where Scott's damsel in distress is.
Scott climbed the ladder and when he was halfway of reaching the bottom the ladder broke.
"Whoa!" Scott fell and shut his eyes really hard, knowing that he'll hit the hard ground and get splashed by the water flowing.
Instead, he felt something comfortable nothing like he ever imagined earlier. As the orange haired idiot slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was saved by his gay roomate.
"'Sup, princess?" I kissed his cheeks and smiled at him.
"S-shutup..." He blushed deeply and tried to look away from me.
"So, I guess you want me to carry you and only shut up, huh?" I smirked, still teasing my lov- roomate.
He blushed deeper and tried to push my face away and yelled "Let me go, Wallace" Guess he was too embarrassed to admit that he liked being carried bride style.
I chuckled and answered "Your wish is my command" and let him go. He hit his butt to the ground and got wet.
"Did you have to do that?" He frowned and tried to wake up.
I placed my hands around his hips and dragged him closer to me "Would you rather want me to do this?" I smiled.
"W-well... I" He looked at my ocean colored eyes and kept on stuttering. I could tell he simply loved what I do and admired my eyes.
How I'd love to make him feel happy, but I know that he's happy when he's with Ramona. And I'm glad for her.
She deserves the best and hopefully Scott will give her all she needs.
I sighed and let go of him, still trying to look as happy and cool as I always am "You coming, guy?"
He shook his head and nodded "Y-yeah, coming!" He walked closer to me and tried to walk without slipping thanks to the water.
"You love him..."
I stopped and looked around, Scott stopped and looked back at me.
"You'd do anything for him..."
"Who is this..?!" I yelled and looked around me. "W-Wallace? There's no one here but us." Scott answered.
"Why...? Why wouldn't he feel the same...?"
I felt as if my head was about to burst, I covered my face with one hand and made my eyes visible to Scott.
"Wallace, stop freaking me out..." Scott said, he tried to approach me and the voices played in my head.
"He'd choose her over you no matter what you do" "He'd kill you if it means he'd save that worthless girl"
Each step Scott made increased the voices playing through my head, it was loud and it hurts... The place changed from a cave that looked blue with water that flows peacefully into a cave that became crimson red and blood kept flowing instead of the water. My pupils shrunk and my heart beated faster than the normal rate...
"Wallace...?"
To be continued.
