Chereads / It lives in the forest / Chapter 2 - The risky dare

Chapter 2 - The risky dare

We all got up, sat down on the pillows and lit up a candle. It felt spooky but also satisfying, we could see through the eyes of each other, fear, apprehension and jitter. We we're all getting prepared for the game, Some existed with excitement and some didn't.

I felt horripilation form on my skin, As i asked them who was first.

So who's going first, Igor?.

I could see Igor getting nervous, I saw goosebumps forming onto his pale white skin so that's why i chose him. I craved to see how he would react towards me.

'Um can'tt Adrien go first?'. he says while stuttering every word.

'Bad things happen whether you're scared or not, so you might as well not bother being scared, it's a waste of time.' Nina conveyed with more of her confidence.

'Soooo inspirational' Valentine says sarcastically.

Everyone but me cackled, which induced excitement around the cabin.

Ok I'll go first.

'Mila you don't have to, if he doesn't learn how to be scared he'll never learn how to be brave.' Nina uttered with more confidence.

Ok.

'I'll go first and i pick truth'. Valentin said.

'Ok, describe the strangest dream you've ever had In your entire life.' Nina manifested.

'Well. I dreamt of an inception,It was late evening and I was running through the canyon behind my house. There is black vegetation hovering around me on either side of the path, which faintly reflects the whiteness of the moonlight. The stark contrast of the light and dark emphasizes the impossible straightness of the path. I was running and running when suddenly I was stopped in my tracks by a young girl.'

'Most of the stuff was dim except for the young girl she was glowing as the bright sun , mysteriously white, beautiful, and terrifying at the same time. She smiles at me as I am running away and running away, until...I woke up in a cold sweat puddle until I realised It was just a dream. It was still dark, but I decided to roll over and get out of bed. I screamed She is there, standing above my bed. Smiling. I dash out of my room, down the stairs, out the garage, feet pummeling asphalt as I run down the road away. But then, she stands in front of me again, smiling. Timid out of my wits, I stop and...

I decided to roll over and get out of bed. sorry if it took long for me to express what I dreamed about.' Valentin said while expressing his chimera.

'it's good although i did make myself

curious about what happened, maybe you can Tell the rest another time.' I heard Nina say.

'Actually? I want to ask Now.' Igor forged.

He sucked the joy and happiness Out of everyone, once he interrupted Valentin and that made me appalled.

'So Nina what will it be ? truth or dare?'. Igor queried while rubber necking her.

'Uhโ€ฆdare ' Nina said confidently.

I Heard a Huge Thud Outside and noticed everyone leaping while Feeling anxious, as if someone had broken in.

What was that ?! Adrien stammered with fear.

Out of nowhere, a scandalous scream was heard, our heart Sank and shattered after hearing a huge noise coming from the creepy forest Infront of The old, crooked, wooden shed that we were all in. The scream made me think was someone being murdered, hurt, kidnapped?. I thought to myself we were all in shock ,no one spoke after 10minutes went by .

'Well guess it's all over now ...let's play!' Igor cheered out.

'Igor! how could you be so insensitive and careless!' As I cried out.

'You're right! now's not the moment to be stupid and heartless Igor!' Valentin yelled loudly .

'Well ok... i know what we should do, Nina

your dare is to go outside and see what's causing the chaos.' Igor says factitiously.

'You said We, so shouldn't we all go ?! Nina asked ,expecting a classic response from him.

'Well what I meant is you , gosh i shouldn't have used a pronoun.' Igor exclaimed once again.

'Igor now's not the time to be educated' Valentin says to Igor

'Ok fine i'll go.' Nina replies

I walk towards the door ,hearing my boots thump on the wooden floor ,i open the door causing it to make a disturbing "creaaaaak" sound

Mila ran towards me and says "you don't have to do this , you shouldn't listen to others even if it's a dare your life could be at risk".

I heard every word but i didn't reply, i didn't want to make anyone feel guilty but after all I am the "brave one". I wanted to see what was happening and where the screaming Is coming from

I could hear the wolves howling and the crows grating coos, caws, rattles, and clicks coming from near by. I couldn't see anything it was pitch black, almost as if I was locked in a dark room with no windows In it .I could hear some Cricket's Chirping From bushes and as i might say the chirping's made me feel more relaxed and less anxious ,the noise made it seem like music to my ears .

I continued to walk through the crunching Leaves under my feet , i felt a shiver going up my spine , as if something bad we're going to happen.I turned around and still couldn't see anything ,I felt as if someone was approaching me.But I couldn't describe how they looked like ,how they smelled and how they were dressed .

I shouted 'Who's there?'โ€ฆ i got no reply back

"Is anybody there?" I continued to shout as if it were my last and only words. I felt it coming closer and closer and by the time i turned around ,i felt as if i were dead .Completely dead, i couldn't move and i couldn't speak at all.

I texted her as i was worried sick .I felt a strange feeling in my stomach as if it were butterflies in there moving about .

I picked up the rest of my stuff, ran and reached for the door but Adrien stopped me. He left out a caring voice saying 'She's okay don't worry, she'll come back.'

But no one knew that I was slowly losing hope.

I felt my whole body shivering and becoming numb . I felt warm tears leaving my eyes with despair as I fell into the ground feeling guilty for not following my own best friend ,My sister.

Adrien helped me up and covered me up with an old rusty blanket and Olivia came ,sat down with me .

'I hope she's okay ' Olivia says while worrying.

'What was I thinking! now we don't know if she's alive or not ,i feel guilty ,stupid and worthless.' Igor exclaims with guilt.
