Friska's Pov
The tree collapsed and we all stared at what was revealed. The visual came before the smell but they were both awful and I can only assume I was not the only one to have my skin crawl. There was more to the game like I had predicted but the skulls beneath the rest of the game were quite disturbing. I placed my fingers on my lips, no one dared to speak as we stared in utmost shock. Steno, just like I had assumed was the very first person to speak his load of bullsh*t because in truth, none of this bothered him.
"Should we like, touch it?" he asked and Adis gave his best friend a flat stare. Sure we all knew he was an idiot but we just never thought that he was that much of an idiot. Jacob pulled Crissy closer to him while Fioni hooked herself onto Steno's biceps. Biceps that were far bigger that his head.
I stared at Steno as I contemplated deeply. First we wake up in adult bodies due to this game so at this point Steno should somehow believe that this was very serious. With every game there was a penalty and based on the skulls beneath the rest of this game I was scared to find out what the penalty was.
"Why the hell would you want to touch someone's skull?!" Melody yelled and Opez continued to scratch his skin. If I didn't know better, I would say that he was a snake that was ready to shed his skin. Melody eyed him, the male not appreciating the look he was given by the lady in black.
"What?" he asked and Melody turned her facial expression up a notch.
"What is wrong with you?" She hissed and before he could give a response Steno, the a**hole of the century spoke. I rolled my eyes even though the words did not leave his lips as yet.
"Mel those could be fake skulls for all we know" Steno stated as he gestured with his hands. I knew the guy was never quite bright in high school but attending collage should boost your ability to at least act smart right?
"Fake! How the hell can that look fake to you?!" She yelled as just like Steno she gestured with her hand. Crissy bit on her nails, Jacob providing comfort by giving her shoulders gentle rubs.
"Yea Mel, you're kinda right. They are a bit yellow" Steno stated and I fold my lips, my fists connecting with his chest roughly. He stared down at me the moment my boyfriend pulled me by the hip. I fought against Adis but his strength out did my own.
"Maybe this is all fun and games to you but what if those skulls belong to other idiots who chose to play this game!" I yelled and he was calm. Why did this surprise me, these were the moments he enjoyed.
"I think you are over reacting" he assured me and Adis held onto me tighter.
"I think she is right" He agreed and I relaxed when my boyfriend was not as dumb as I thought he was for hanging around a jerk like Steno. Wendy crossed her arms, her eyes were telling me that she was shaken up by this entire mess. Crissy took deep breath.
"We have to remain calm about this" she stated and I continued to look at the skulls. With skulls in a three I don't think there was a reason to be calm. Whatever placed the skulls there would be after my very own next.
"That is kinda hard to do when you find skulls in a tree" Opez stated as he continued to scratch. Wendy assisted and Melody continued to stare at the guy who was prone to every allergies known to man.
"Now that you have spoken, the one at the front sort of looks like you" Melody hissed and Lamar gazed her. Opez only stared in offense but said nothing as melody smiled. To be honest the girl was nothing but a bully sometimes, Lamar continued to gaze at her before he spoke.
"This is serious" he stated and at the rate in which my friends behave it was quite clear that I was that only one to take this serious. I stilled when I heard a sound and the way in which Crissy gazed at me it was quite clear that she heard it too. I closed my eyes as I grabbed the remaining contents of the game, Adis staring at me as I straightened.
"There is someone coming" Crissy yelled as she got behind her boyfriend. I did the same thing and the shrubs continued to move aggressively. I swallowed, a low growl sounding from the distance.
"More like a something" I stated and Wendy was the first one to find her legs.
"Everybody run!" She exclaimed and all but one followed her instruction.
