Angel felt a small tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Seri standing behind her, her brown eyes flickering to Anna, then back to her.
"Ermー" Seri nervously shuffled her feet. "Since Raven and Robin aren't on our team anymore, and since you can't join your friends because their team is fullー"
Angel raised an eyebrow. "You didn't ask Petra?"
"Well, she looks a bit intimidating, and you look a bit easier to approach so we were wondering if you can join our teamー"
Angel cut her off. "I'll join," She said softly.
Seri blinked and smiled. "Alright. Come join us." She said, leading Angel to Anna. "I hope we can do this. I don't want Raven to die."
"As long as we stay in the shadows and be sneaky, we'll be able to find Robin's bow and arrows quicker," Angel assured her as they approached Anna. "However, you need to be careful and watch your feet. Noise can attract the Killers."
"That'll be a bit of a problem," Anna said as the two stopped in front of her. "Both of us are a bit clumsy."
Angel waved it off. "I'll watch your step and tell you to move if needed. Don't worry."
Seri turned to see how the others are doing and laughed. "Look at Kate and Jace!"
Angel turned and let out a snort of laughter. Kate and Jace don't seem to get along very well. And that was an understatement. As soon as The Black Musical gave them time to sort out their teams, Kate went over to Jace and shoved him towards The Blaze Rods and, ignoring Jace's indignant squawks, exclaimed that if he wants to ditch them again, he can't join their team.
"They don't seem to get along very well," Seri remarked. "Not surprising since Kate dislikes jerks who judge her for what she likes."
The blonde teenager threw both of them a questioning look.
"When did that happen?"
"When you were sleeping, Jace insulted Linkin Park right in front of Kate's face," Anna said, remembering what happened the morning before The Black Musical's arrival. "She wasn't very happy about that."
Angel let out a long sigh. "Of course. Jace likes to annoy me when he's bored. and because I like Linkin Park, he insults it to get me riled up. That stopped working after a few weeks, so he picks on the next person who likes them."
"And that happened to be Kate…" Seri said they watched Petra join Kate, Tacey, and William. "He's kinda like Wilrus in a way."
Angel threw them another questioning look. "Who?"
"William's twin brother," Anna answered for Seri. "He's the complete opposite of William though. I think he called Linkin Park ' another boy band that all girls seem to be obsessed with' or something like that when Kate first met him. They've been at each other's throats ever since."
"They try to stop arguing because William tells them not to…" Seri cut in. "But it doesn't really break up the tension between them."
"Does this guy like explosions?" Angel asked flatly, remembering how Jace and Axel liked to blow up at least something seven times a day. Honestly, she was surprised everything in the lodge managed to last.
Seri and Anna exchanged an amused look, but before they could say anything about Wilrus, The Black Musical interrupted.
"Time's up!" The Shadow shouted. "Are your teams ready?"
"If you count angrily shoving someone into another team, then I supposed we're ready…" Angel muttered sarcastically under her breath.
The two standing beside her had to turn away to hide their laughter.
Thankfully, The Black Musical didn't hear her, as a chorus of agreements that went around the room blocked out Angel's muttered answer.
"Alright!" The Black Musical smiled. "Please stand inside the black circles on the ground. It will teleport you to random parts of the lodge to search. Go on!"
The three shared a look, before very hesitantly walking to the nearest circle, with everyone doing the same.
"Excellent! Let the game start in 3…"
Angel glanced over to Jesse, who had a dangerous glint in her eyes, and decided she rather not know the reason behind the glint.
"2…"
Seri took in a deep breath.
"1…"
Anna adjusted her glasses.
"GO!"
There was a flash of light, and every single team vanished from the room.
The three got to work immediately after they landed in the basement ("I don't think the bow and arrows are in this room…" "Why do you say that?" "It's empty! And the boards aren't that loose…") and traveled from room to room, trying to find Robin's bow and arrows before the time limit.
"Robin's stuff is bigger than Olivia's earring, yet, we're having a harder time trying to find it!" Anna complained as they head towards another staircase ("Don't you think the lodge is more like a mansion? Because it's so big!" "I'm just going to ignore at how wrong that sounds…" Angel muttered.).
Angel jumped up, ignoring Anna and Seri's concerned shouts, slid down the rails, and landed catlike on the ground. "Well, The Black Musica is clever enough to steal without any of us noticing. Maybe she's clever enough that she hid Robin's stuff in plain siー HIDE!"
Startled and alarmed, the other two quickly followed Angel as she darted into a cupboard under the stairs and ushered them inside.
Squashed together, they shifted slightly and watched Angel press her ear against the door ("Be quiet so I can listen!"), narrowing her silver eyes.
Through the thin walls of the cupboard, they heard a strange, creepy song sung by a small child, which made it even creepier.
Seri opened her mouth to ask who was outside the cupboard, but when Angel nudged her side gently with her foot, Seri thought it was better to remain silent and wait until the 'child' was gone.
It seemed to last forever, but the song finally faded away, and after Angel slowly opened the door, they crept outside and Seri asked the question that was on her and Anna's mind.
"Who was that?" Seri asked. "Was that a child outside?"
"No." Angel shook her head. "Remember when I played Dead By Daylight with The Blaze Rods and Aiden mentioned Freddy?"
"Sort of? That today was a bit of a mess."
"That was him…" Angel sighed and look around. "You can't see him, per say, but that stupid song from before can help you locate him and see whatever or not he's near you. If it's fading, he's going away. If it's growing louder, he's near you and you need to run far away or he'll drag you into the dream world and get you."
Anna but her lip," He sounds creepy…"
"You have no ideaー"
CRASH!
"OW!"
Something heavy landed on Angel's head, knocking her to the ground.
"Woah, are you okay?" Seri hurried over and helped Angel get up to her feet.
"Ow, ow, ow," Angel winced and rubbed the new bump on her head. "I think so… But don't worry. I've been through worst." She wasn't joking. Being a member of the Order of the Stone can put you through a lot of injuries.
Anna got down on one knee and poked the bundle on the ground, which happened to be the thing that landed on Angel's head, with a broomstick from the cupboard. "What is this thing? It's a really weird shape…"
"Sorry!"
All of them look up at the large, new hole in the ceiling and saw Maya peering at them.
"Sorry! I dropped that! Really sorry, Angel!" Maya said over and over, sounding very apologetic and worried.
"What the hell are you apologizing for, you just dropped the damn thing," Angel grumbled and rubbed the back of her head.
Maya smiled sheepishly. "I know, I know."
"What happened anyway?"
"Well, we went into the kitchen to search for the bow and arrows and Jace found this and decided it would be a good present to give to you." Maya held up something wrapped up, something that looked familiar…
"Is that a frying panー?"
"Yes." Aiden poked his head over the hole and grinned.
Angel gave both of them an unimpressed stare.
"Don't look at us like that, Angel!" Maya scoffed. "It wasn't my idea ー it was Jace's!"
"Oi!" Jace popped out of nowhere. "Don't give me away to the Devil!"
"Please continued the story," Angel said calmly, but they could see her right eye twitching from irritation. "Or else I have to climb up and smack you to get you to shut up."
Maya, who hang out with Angel too much to take her seriously, only smiled. "Sure, sure. Anyway, we asked Jace why it would be a good idea to give it to you, and his reasoning is that because you never seemed to ran out of frying pans to smack creeps in the faceー"
"Haha," Angel said sarcastically.
"ーhe thought it would be a good idea to add another one to the collection. So he went out to wrap it in wrapping paper when Gill pulled out something out and gave it to me, but since it's so darn heavy, I dropped it and it crashed through the floor and landed on your head. So sorry about that!"
Angel waved the apology off. "It's fine, but what was that thing anyway?"
Gill peeked over the hole and said, "I dunno. I just pulled it out of the way and gave it to Maya so I can search for the bow and arrows."
Anna, who was convinced the bundle was safe and started unwrapping it, gasped. "I can't believe our luck! It's the bow and arrows!"
Angel turned so quickly, her neck cracked. Rubbing it, she said, sounding very bemused and shocked, "You're joking…"
"I'm not ー look!"
Seri and Angel ran over and checked for themselves. Sure enough, it was indeed Robin's bow and quiver-filled-arrows; just as beautifully carved as the picture.
"Bloody hell!" Angel exclaimed. "I can't believe it! We found the bow and arrows! But are you sure it's the real thing?" Angel added cautiously. "There could be copies of- ARGH!"
Maya had jumped down and flattened Angel to the ground again. She sheepishly apologized as the rest jumped down, before saying, "I overheard Raven and Robin arguing ー oh, don't look at me like that, Angel, I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose!"
Angel rolled her eyes. "Likely story.."
"Shut up." Maya stick out her tongue at her. "Anyway, they were arguing about Robin's messy habits ー which every boy has now that I think about it ー"
"Oi!" Jace, Aiden, and Gill's indignant squawks were ignored.
"ー then Raven complained that if he keeps up his messy habits, he's going to lose his bow in a pile of copies, but Robin points out that his bow's gems. were enchanted so that if anyone tried to make copies of the bow, the gems will turn into glass. Maybe we can check?"
"How on earth are we supposed to check whatever or not the gems are real?" Seri asked with a frown.
"The games are real," Jace said, examining the gems. "Fake gems usually have uneven colors and scratches on them. These gems don't."
Anna threw Jace a strange look. "How did you know that?" She asked curiously.
"Ermー"
"Don't bother trying to get an answer out of him ー we've tried for weeks," Angel said, rolling her eyes. "He won't say anything."
Seri opened her mouth to either say that they should shut up and start going to the Strangling Room (that still left a shiver every time they mentioned the room), or try to get Jace to spill when there was a faint chainsaw noise.
All present Dead By Daylight players froze and shared an alarmed look. That could be either The Hillbilly or The Cannibal. Either one can put them in serious danger.
Angel quietly hissed, "You four split up from us right now. The bigger the group, the more attention we get from the killers."
Aiden gave her a look that clearly said they didn't need to be told twice, but they rushed away without a word.
Panicking, Angel ran over their options. They can either hide in the cupboard or run away. Both options can get them in trouble. If they hide in the cupboard, the Killer might check there, spot them, and with nowhere else to run, the Killer will use his chainsaw on them. If they run, the Killer will be attracted to the noise their footsteps make and follow after them.
Making up her mind, Angel turned to Seri and Anna, who was looking at her with alert and panic, and said:
"We need to hide in that cupboard!"
"We need to run over there!"
Choose Wisely~
