Chapter 2 - 02- The Game Begins

All of them got frightened.

Chills are running down in their spines.

Fritz stands up instantly while Laura and Reena frozed.

"What? W-who's that? What did he just say?" Reena ask, her lips starts to tremble because of what she just heard.

"Clues? Riddles? Before sunrise?! What??!!" Fritz murmured confusedly.

While Laura just stares on nowhere ,shaking, she wanted to scream but she cant, she just froze.

"we're not gonna die right ?! we need to get out of here!" Reena just suddenly shouts, starts panicking and snatch Fritz's arm, hugging him, holding it with both of her hands really tight.

"The riddles!? we have to solve the riddles!" Raising his hand dramatically making Reena let go from him,

"But where's the riddles?!" He said while putting his one hand on his waist and one on his chin, looking around, acting like he is really thinking hard. Acting.

Laura just stares on one direction, but she starts to walk and look around, her arms and legs are shaking yet she still, bravely, walks around the room.

Fritz followed her leaving Reena.

"Whats this?!" Laura asks while grabbing a tinny box she found in the table in the middle of the room.

In the top of cover of the box it says "π”–π”±π”žπ”―π”± β„Œπ”’π”―π”’".

"Look this must be the first clue! should I open it?!" She said while looking at them waiting for their approval then look back at the box hesitantly.

Without saying any word, Reena snatch the box from Laura's hands, and open it.

"Hey, can you please- ... be a little patient!" Laura irritably said while she's opening the box.

"Owww Im sorry" she replied with an annoying smile. "Its obvious that this is the first clue duhh can't you read? Its says Start Here And I just wanna get out of here!" Insulting her.

"Ok Im so sorry too miss Vereena!" Laura says while raising her eyebrows.

"What's inside?" Fritz ask with a straight face stopping them two.

Reena found a rolled piece of paper inside the box."What?" She says confusely.

"What. What?"

"What does it says?"

"I can't read it its so-, ok this is such a bad hand writing" Reena grouch.

Laura then smirks at her.

"Can I? maybe, I can read it" Fritz suggested

Reena handed the paper to Fritz.

Instead of reading it, Fritz just look at it with a very confused face also.

" you measuve my lile.... haha I can't is this French?" He laughs and scratch his head.

"Can I? " Laura says leaning her hands for the paper.

"You measure- my life in nours, nours?? huh?" Laura scratch her head "aha!! Hours!"

"You measure my life in hours. Im quieh.. uh no no quick, its quick"

"You measure my life in hours. Im quick when I'm thin and im slow when im fat. The wind is Enemy!!"

"Thats it!! Uhhh what does it mean?" She said excitedly and confused at the same time.

"Wow how did you read that?" Fritz ask, amazed at her, cause honestly that handwriting is really hard to read, its like written by kid who's still learning how to write.

"I donno, maybe I'm just used to my brothers handwriting, cause it looks like this" Laura then chuckles.

They both look at each other seems like they're having a staring contest with a big smile on there faces.

"Okaayyy" Reena says while walking between both of them, spreading them appart,so seems like the staring is over.

Both smiles on there faces completely vanished.

Laura rolls her eyes looking away from Reena.

"Whats the answer?" Reena ask looking at both of them. "Come on guys we need to get out of here cause-"

Reena didn't finished what she wanted to say cause a strong wind from the window come in to the room AGAIN and turned off all the candles that is lighted, leaving the room dark and only the small lamp in the corner gives light in the whole room.

"Aaaahhh" both of girls scream.

Reena jumps off to Fritz's , making him carry her like a baby, but Fritz pull Laura's hand with her other hand making her bump onto him, but she instantly step back a little bit but he's still holding her hand really tight.

"Bruuhh you're heavy!" Fritz says while putting reena down, disgusted at the same time. And Laura also let go on his hands for she's shy if Reena sees it.

"Wait? I knew it- ITS A CANDLE!" Fritz suddenly shouted.

"What? Candle what?"

"The riddle. The answer is CANDLE! Cause it says the wind is my enemy and the candles enemy is wind cause it turn it all off " Fritz answers proudly.

"yeah genius! and it slows when its fat, it means the wax on it and burn the wax fast when its thin" Laura added getting what fritz said.

"Uhh whatever" reena didn't got it yet "what are we gonna do next?"

"Maybe lets look at the candles maybe we can find a clue in it" Fritz answer.

All of them look around, its a little hard cause the room is kinda dark, they just touch everywhere and grab all the candles that they can grab and look for something that maybe helps them find the next clue.

"why you're acting like that?" Laura whispers to Fritz while Reena is looking to the candles

"Act what?" He ask.

"you know.. Reena's here!" She answered in whisper.

" I dont care she always ruin a moment and why does she needs to be here every time we're together" Fritz rants while whispering on Laura.

"Guys!! I found it, there's a paper here on this cove!" Reena shouted while raising her hand with the paper.

"What does it says?" Laura ask

"I can't read its too dark here"

"Just go near the light duhh" Fritz says pointing where the lamp's at.

"thank God this hand writing is not that bad"

Reena opens the folded paper and read it aloud.

"TAKE ME OFF MY CABIN AND SCRATCH MY HEAD. I WAS ONCE RED NOW IM BLACK INSTEAD "

"that's it!, What does it mean?" Raising her eyebrows while looking at the paper with a puzzled face

"Ugh Why does it need to be hard?" Reena complains

"not all the things you can get, needs to be easy" Laura murmured

"What did you just say?" Reena ask

"Nothing.. its a riddle ok it needs to be hard" she answers "rather use your mind than to complain" Laura murmured again looking away from Reena.

"What? excuse me Im using my mind than you do Missy. And what is wrong with you, why are you so irritated at me? I just wanna get out of here and that's it!" she rants looking at her with a bitch face.

Here we go again.

"does anybody has a match here so that we can light the candle?" Fritz grouses, and again Making both them stops.

Because of that the room was covered with an akward silence.

After a few seconds "Wait, Thats it! A MATCH!" Laura shouted out of no were.

"Match huh?" Reena ask.

"A Match, you know take it out ots box and that represents the cabin, scratch its head then it turns black cause it got burnt when its lit!" Laura answered proudly with an insult look at reena.

"oww yeah Match your right! Your such a genius!" Says Fritz

"your welcome for me who found that clue" Reena murmured

"lets just look for the match here" Laura heard it but ignores Reena.

She then turn around and starts looking for a match.

All of them spread out and starts looking for it.

"its here!" Fritz says grabbing the match that he found from one of the cabinets shelf. well that's fast.

"now that we found the match maybe we should light all the cand-"

"Did you found any clue?" Reena inserted making Fritz stop from what his trying to say.

"oh I forgot this is the answer to that one yeah wait up ok " Fritz replied.

'knock! 'knock! 'knock!

Suddenly they heard loud knocks on the door.

"Who's that?!" Laura shouted and Fritz go slowly near the door.

"who's that?!" He also ask

But instead of answering It knocks the door again but now harshly
