Tisk Tisk Tisk. Not impressed with your reviews guys! But I promised a friend I would post and I won't go back on a promise. So here it is, chapter 14.
Are you scared?
No?
You should be.
Are you scared now?

"No." Steve told Dallas for what seemed to be the billionth time.
"Come on, man!" Dallas complained.
"No. I won't do it." Steve stated.
"I didn't want to have to do this." Dallas said quietly.
"Do what?" Steve asked in a somewhat frightened voice.
"Man, you have to do this."
"No I don't." Steve said.
"Yes you do," Dallas reasoned, "Remember the BroCode?" Steve's head shot up in an instant.
"Do not bring the BroCode into this, man." Steve commanded.
"I didn't want to but you have forced me to do it!"
"NO. Don't not being the BroCode into this."
"I'm gonna say it."
"No."
"BroCode."
"NO!"
"Steve Randle you are violating the BroCode."
"Ah! I hate you." Steve muttered.
"So you'll do it, then?" Dallas asked, suddenly getting hopeful.
"Well, yes, I have to." Steve complained, "You went and brought the BroCode into it."
"Good. I don't see why you don't want to ask her out, we all know you still like her."
"I know," Steve said quietly, "But I just know that she is going to turn me down so..."
"So?"
"So, what's the point?"
"In asking her?"
"In... anything."
….
"Yo Adam!" Dale yelled as Adam walked up to her.
"What?" Adam asked.
"Whatever you do DON'T go on a date with Steve!"
"Well, glory, Half-Pint, there go my weekend plans!" Adam joked.
"This isn't funny, Adam!" Dale yelled, "YOU CAN NOT GO ON A DATE WITH HIM!"
"Hold up, Short-stack, why would Steve ask me out on a date?" Adam finally wondered. (Glory, think slow, much?)
"Don't ask questions!" Dale shouted once more.
"I'll ask all the questions I want if you don't tell me why!" Adam yelled back and added, as an after thought, "Squirt."
"Enough with the short jokes!" Dale yelled, "Just turn Steve down!"
"Look, miniature person, if you don't tell me why-"
"Just do it!"
"You know what?" Adam screamed, "If you don't tell me, I might just have to say yes. JUST to annoy you!"
….
Dallas watched Dale and Adam argue from his ninja hiding place behind a plant. He picked up his walkey-talky and said quietly,
"The fox is in the hen house. I repeat, the fox is in the hen house." He then hung up.
"Dude." He heard Steve tell him, "What are you doing?"
"I'm on a secret mission. Use you're radio."
"No!" Steve yelled.
"Suuuushh!" Dallas ordered and ninja rolled from behind one plant to another. "We can't let them see us!" Steve watched as Dallas did a series of complex moves to move about 3 feet. Steve followed behind him, walking.
"What are you doing?" He asked Dallas. Dallas ignored him though and continued to hum his theme song.
Steve slapped himself.

Meg looked at the computer screen with worried eyes. She bit her lip.
"What are you doing?" Pony asked as he walked into the study. He looked at the computer with confusion. (Meg had actually just taught him about computers a few days ago.)
"What's that?" He asked.
"A link." Meg muttered as she began to bite her fingernails.
"Are you going to click it?" Pony ask. Meg sighed.
"I have to..." She said quietly, "But I shouldn't."
"Why do you have to?" He asked as he pulled up a set next to her and put his arm casually (Bluntly.) around her shoulders.
"Adam sent it to me. I heard some of it and it sounds really creepy and scary..." Meg told him.
"Then don't click it." Pony said simply.
"You don't get it." Meg sighed, "I'm really curious now."
"Well, if you want to watch it, do it."
"But it will scare me."
"Then don't."
"But I need to watch it!"
"Oh for the love of!" Pony said in an exasperated tone and click the link. The two teens watched in horror as the girl got her arm strapped in to a table and got her fingernail ripped off.
That's when the screaming started.
The girl started to go crazy screaming and crying and she got attacked and they ripped her nails off. When it finally ended Meg was actually started to cry.
"Meg...?" Pony asked in a scared voice. Meg shook her head.
"I don't want to get my fingernails ripped off." She said quietly. Pony sighed and pulled her onto his lap. She curled into a ball and he held her close.
"It's okay." He told her in a soothing voice, "I'm not going to let anyone touch you."
"Not even crazy Japanese people who want to rip out my fingernails?" Meg ask quietly. Pony gave a weak chuckle as her stroked her hair.
"Especially not crazy Japanese people who want to rip out our beautiful fingernails." He confirmed.

Hunter held her breath as she walked up to Soda. He wasn't home yet, none of the others would be there... she just had to talk to him. She walked up behind him silently and tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around with his arms raised to strike.
"It's just me!" Hunter yelled out ins surprise.
"Glory, that's not much better." Soda muttered and kept walked. Hunter bit her lip and sighed.
"Soda!" She called after him. He growled but stopped.
"What." He ask harshly. Hunter wanted to cry. This didn't make any sense. Soda was supposed to be the nice one. Why did he hate her so much?
"What did I do?" She asked quietly. Soda rolled his angry brown eyes.
"You're brother messed up my brother." He told her. Hunter's eyebrows scrunched together and she frowned.
"Well that doesn't really seem like a good reason." She told him.
"That's another reason!" Soda yelled, "You won't leave me alone!" Hunter looked down. She couldn't believe it but she was actually starting to cry.
"I didn't do anything to you." She told him.
"You're brother did." He told her.
"But he didn't do anything to you." She said in a think voice. Soda started to catch on that she was crying. He rolled his eyes. He wanted to get out of there. He didn't want or need to be around a crying girl. He started to walk away when Hunter pulled on his arms again. His temper flared and he didn't even think about his next action. He didn't even register what had happened until he heard the loud,
SMACK!
It didn't click in his mind until he saw her running away in tear while holding her now bright red cheek. He looked down at his equally red hand. He sighed and rubbed his temples for a moment before continuing after her to Dale's house.
…
Adam and Dale were both sitting in the kitchen eating grapes and discussing dieting tips when Hunter ran in. Her face was red and her eyes were matching. She was breathing hard like she had run the whole way there.
Or she had been crying the whole way there.
"What happened?" Dale asked as she set her grape back down in the bowl. Hunter just shook her head and sat down, putting a grape in her mouth.
"Nothing." She said quietly, "It doesn't matter."
"You're crying." Adam pointed out, "Who's butt am I kicking?" Hunter laughed.
"It really is nothing. I'm fine." Hunter said again. Dale and Adam locked eyes full of worry. Hunter always complained about how the word fine was always a lie. People just said it so they didn't worry their friends and family.
"Tell me." Dale said in a quiet voice. Hunter looked up at her friends. It wasn't that she was afraid to tell them but... They might just flip out...
"Soda hit me." Hunter said quietly and looked at both of their faces carefully. Dale actually stumbled back with shock though Adam just looked at her with a blank face. She suddenly looked into the living room before going to the back of the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Hunter asked.
"Nothing." Adam said and closed the drawer that she was looking in. She then headed for the living room.
"Where are you going?" Dale asked.
"Living room." Adam answered.
"Why?" Hunter added.
"I have to talk to someone." Adam told her and she was gone. Dale and Hunter locked eyes. Hunter sighed.
"You know, I thought she would take that a lot worse." Hunter said. Dale nodded.
"Me too." she agreed and looked at the drawer that Adam had left open. Her eyes widened suddenly.
"Hunter..." Dale said in a quiet voice.
"What?" Hunter wondered.
"That was my knife drawer."
Both girls rushing into the living room just in time to see the knife fly from Adam hand and hear the sickening THUNK it made as it hit it's mark.
