What I Started

~Chapter One~

"Truth or dare?" My two closest friends and I sat huddled around a campfire, our tents in a horseshoe behind us. There was Tanner Sammules, Chelsey Melanie with purple hair (and I have to mention this because it's purple hair!) Then you have me. Elliot Starmine. I actually have one blue and one green eye. Even though my name is Elliot, I am a girl. Or at least, last time I checked anyway.

Tanner and Chelsey grinned at me, the flames flickering eerily over their faces. Sometimes they really give me the creeps. I thought for what seemed a while (It was probably just a few seconds) and, "Da-Truth." Tanner and Chelsey turned to face each other and whispered in low voices. I rolled my eyes and hummed D is for Dangerous to myself.

"What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you, in aaalllll your life?" I pretended I was stroking a beard on my chin. I mean, 17 years is a long time people. Then Tanner and Chelsey giggled. Yes, Tanner giggled.

"Errrrrm, well when I was 15 I was watching a movie about gay rights and whatnot. In it, two girls briefly make out in a closet and it just so happens that one of my brothers walked in so I paused it. Before he left, he looked at my screen, saw it and he still thinks that I'm either gay or into weird shiznit like that."

We all burst into laughter. Out of all of us, stuff usually happens to me. The clumsy, nerdy, movie obsessed and can-be/wanna-be badass.

After a very long hike, we had chosen our camping spot atop a mountain in the forest up here. I think it was a 6pm by the time we had got there and it took us another hour for us to unpack and get set up. I'd made a fire after demanding that the two lovebirds went to get wood (no innuendo intended) and we spent the previous three hours chatting and roasting marshmallows. Now, we're playing games of T or D. Scary stories will be next, even though we're all wusses. It has been our little tradition since we all turned fourteen.

"Oooookaaay, moving on" I grimaced in memory. Uuugh, "Chelsey, T or D?" I shifted excitedly in my seat. Not the best of ideas as I fell over. As I stood back up, Chelsey sighed. They both knew what was coming. I had been trying to set them up for ages. "I want truth El." I groaned. So.predictable. "Awwww you're no fun" I grumbled "Well, who doooo yooouuuu.... Fancy!" I smirked oh so evilly.

Chels blushed and turned scarlet after glancing at Tanner. "Hehe funny story, TIME FOR SCARY STORIES!!" I leapt up, knocking over that stupid chair again and fist pumped. "I kneeeew it! You two neeeeed to date!"

Tanner groaned at me, weirdo, and looked at Chelsey who was rolling her eyes. "My story! Years ago I had a friend who loved to take pictures of nature. One day, she decided to go on a camping trip, to the same spot as us, to take some photos. After a long day, she had taken so many photos and then went to sleep. She woke up in the middle of the night after hearing a noise. Scared, she went back to sleep. In the morning she checked her pictures. They were all a bit blurred and the last three were of her asleep in the tent."

Chelsey rolled her eyes at me as I muttered 'Josh dun dun duuun!' and faked a yawn. "Well, good try but now it's my turn! A young girl named Lisa often had to spend time alone at home as her parents worked late hours. They bought her a dog to keep her company and protect her. One night, she was woken up by a dripping sound. She stuck her hand under the bed and the dog licked it. She got up and turned off the tap in the bathroom. She was back in the bed and the sound continued so she went and checked the bath taps, which were off. She stuck her hand under the bed and the dog licked it again. Drip, drip, driiip. She listened closer and- it was coming from her wardrobe! Lisa opened the door and saw her dog hanging upside down. A message in blood was written on the back. 'Humans can lick too!!!!!'"

I snickered to myself as Tanner turned greenish. "Well that was pretty good, but now... it's my turn! Eh hem. One day, it was a normal school day and everyone was about to leave, but all the doors were locked! Suddenly, Justin Bieber and 1D started playing! Le gasp! The teachers all turned into clowns doing the robot and started playing dodgeball. It was like that for the rest of the world! The end!"

I was laughing uncontrollably and wiped a fake tear from my eye as my two friends, who don't know what comedy is clearly, stared at me blankly. "Welp that was my masterpiece, I'm going to sleep!" As I trotted to my tent I heard them mutter 'I swear, each year they get worse!'

When I got to my tent, I put on my amazing Pjs. A black background with Pikachus with moustaches on and the shorts were red. Now that I think about they look like 7 year old boy's Pjs. Ah well!

I grimaced to myself and sighed as I took out two red pills and a half empty bottle of water. I dropped my pills in and swished the water around until they dissolved. Grumbling something incoherent under my breath and sipped the drink. I gagged slightly as I downed the rest of it. "Oke now that that's over with time for beddybo-"

I heard a masculine yell from outside. I narrowed my eyes and slowly climbed out of my tent. Clearly my two idiot friends had already gone in and hadn't heard it. My training kicked in as I dove into bushes. The two men clad in black leather turned around as I cursed under my breath, Shitshitshitshit!

Okay, they can only be two things. Here to kill me or like me and here to see me. This isn't good! I wish Spock was here, dafty. My dog Spock was a large black Alsatian named after a Vulcan from Star Trek. Hey! Don't judge. I noticed that the men didn't have masks on, so luckily they weren't the bad guys.

I sucked up my dignity and stood up, picked a few leaves out of my hair and cleared my throat. They cussed and pointed their guns at me. I mean real guns...not, never mind. "Whoa fellas, calm down!" I raised my hands and grinned at their shocked faces.

It isn't every day you see an agent without weapons, with Pokémon PJs and black eyes. Yeah I forgot to mention, the pills make my eyes go black, it's kind of a side affect. We can go into why I have to take pills another time though. "I probably looked like Pokémon loving shark. Maybe not." I mumbled to myself.

"Who the hell are you?" Grunted the taller of the men. I put my hands on my hips and looked over them. They looked like they were in their twenties? About the same age as my brothers and three years older than me. "Names have a lot of power, why should I trust you?"

They looked at each other. "I'm Tyler-" the smaller one said "And this is Kyle. We're looking for an Elliot Starmine, seen him?" I scoffed. Who do they think they are? "You're looking at her!" They looked at each other, probably debating whether or not to trust me. "Yes I may look like something from the Sixth Sense, best movie ever, but it's impolite to stare!"

"Here!" Tyler shoved a bag into my hands. When I saw what was inside it, I groaned and stamped my foot. "I can't take these, they should know by now!" I whined. They shrugged, probably thinking I was messing around. "Sorry Elliot, it's mandatory." I glared at Tyler, I can't believe this! Idiots. I call everyone idiots, maybe I should change that.

"Look, call Josie and Sean if ya need to, because I don't need to take these!" In the bag there was three pills similar to mine except these were white. Gosh they actually are idiots! They look so confused, it's almost funny. I sighed.

"Sean is the current Key, knows everything and everyone, gives out jobs and blah blah blah. Josie is the head of all medical-y stuff." Tyler nodded his head and after a few minutes of trying to find signal, Kyle was talking animatedly on the phone.

Tyler whistled under his breath and I stifled a giggle and balanced the bag on my head. Kyle stormed over, snatched the bag off my head as I scowled at him. "Bye mister moody, bye Tyler!" I waved at their backs. It's a good thing my friends are heavy sleepers.

Hullo! Yes, I decided to change What I started to Elliot's POV! Like it? Hate it? Tell me!
