F/n's POV

"(Pants).. Ricky! ... where are we ... going!" I chased after my best friend.

"Almost there!" He yelled back. We ran through the woods and I was brought to a waterfall.

"Woah.."

"Come on!"

"H-Huh!? Where are you going!? Don't go into the waterfall!"

"It's fine!" I followed him through which led us to a secret cave!

"Wow.. how'd you find this?"

"It was by chance. ... I want to show you something!" He grabs my hand and drags me along.

"Hey! Slow down!" Ricky brought me further into the cave. Ricky was not acting like himself, normally he's either quiet or he's extremely talkative. This time, it was neither.

Crimson red tainted the walls as we went further in. The stench was horrific yet it doesn't seem to affect Ricky at all.

"Ricky.. maybe we should go back.."

"I haven't shown you what I wanted to yet!" Ricky shouted.

"O-ok ok- we'll continue!" Ricky's scary..

We reached the final destination, and what I saw was nothing that I would expect. There were piles of dead bodies at every corner, most of them were younger than us.

"What.. happened..?" This is horrible! Who would do such a thing!?

"What do you mean by "what happened"? They got killed obviously!"

"But who would do such a thing!?"

"... F/n.. there's something else I have to tell you.."

"What?"

"... I found this blue stone.. it compelled me to kill."

"Huh!? Wait.. You're the one who killed all these people!?"

"..." Ricky stood there still holding on to my hand. He showed feelings of fear and remorse.

"Why would you!? No.. How could you!?" I tried to free my hand from his grip but he is just too strong. Where did his strength come from!?

"F/n.. don't run away. I couldn't help myself." His eyes glowed fiercely.

"I'm telling an adult!"

"If you do I'll just tell them it's you who did it. After all.. you're the one who always lies while I always tell the truth. Who do you think they'll believe. You or me." Ricky expressed no signs of fear from my threat, instead, he was dead serious.

"You wouldn't!"

"I'm not the same boy you know anymore. I'm better. I'm stronger and I can do anything I want." Ricky's personality has taken a full u-turn. This really isn't the Ricky I know.

"Wh-why did you show me this..?" There has to be a reason why he showed me this.. Ricky smiled with satisfaction.

"I have a few more undead items that need to be dead. Unfortunately, I've already cleaned up.. I despise getting dirty right after getting cleaned."
