The tall creature gestured to his lifeless body.
??? - "You might not believe me, but Clay is still alive, and very, very, angry."
George - "How? And why should we believe you?"
??? - "Because I'm just a viewer. Like the rest of us."
Many of the same creature as him appeared in the shadows of the undergrowth.
??? - "We have been watching your every move. The sad times, the happy times, the scary times. We have seen it all. And one thing's for sure. Only one of you three will come out of this alive."
George - "Shut up. You're lying."
??? - "Oh, I know everything about you all. All your secrets, your hidden powers, the ones you love. I know EVERYTHING."
George - "Fine. Prove it."
??? - "Jacob, when you saw Harvey die, you didn't go to help him in his last moments of suffering, am I right?"
Jacob - "I-I was sc-scared ok?!"
??? - "Zak, you won't talk because that attracts noise. And you're worried Clay will find you if you speak. You also won't speak because you're still in shock of Darryl's death. Correct?"
Zak nodded.
George - "Prove something about me then."
??? - "Oh, George. You have many secrets, more than your friends ever had. Which should I spill, hmm? When you thought about running away before the fight began so you didn't get involved? But then you saw your friends faces and decided to stay. Or maybe a few months ago when you planned on stealing the cube from Jacob, but decided it wasn't worth it."
It was right. Everything this creature said was right.
George - "Fine, so tell us. Where is Clay and how is he still alive?"
??? - "When Zak threw Clay's head. That got away, but also when you burned his body, his corruption was let free to roam the earth, in search of a new body to make his own. He may or may not morph it to look like himself, but who knows? He may be one of you three at this very moment."
The creature smiled. Then it looked like it was looking at a watch.
??? - "Oh, look at the time. We've found Clay's next victim, also, one last thing. You're not alone in this forest. Goodbye. I'll be back later!"
The creature and all it's look-alikes vanished into thin air only leaving small amounts of black smoke behind where they stood.
Only one of us... Make it out alive?
I glanced at my two other friends who were looking back at me. Well... Wouldn't that mean Jacob would die either way since he's connected to us? There is a possibility of a glitch since the cube didn't work... I guess we'll have to find out.
~Evening, 6:04pm~
We finished burying the bodies, Zak's cries didn't end. I definitely missed my friends. But there was nothing we could really do about it now.
George - "If Dream, well Clay, is still alive then we should get a move on, who knows when he'll be back?"
Jacob - "W-We should get b-back up."
George - "Alright, not a bad idea, the more the merrier. Any ideas of who to go to?"
Jacob - "D-Dave doesn't l-l-l-l... Live very f-far away."
George - "Zak, are you ok with us going there?"
Zak nodded in agreement.
George - "I guess it's settled. I guess we should... Say our last goodbyes."
We all glanced at the graves we made in front of us. It was upsetting, to say the least. Zak bursted out into even more tears and I heard sniffling from Jacob. I wish I could cry but... I just can't bring myself to do it, I wonder-
My thoughts got cut off as I felt something pierce the skin of my right shoulder. I fell to my knees from the sudden pain.
What was going on!? Are we being attacked?!
Jacob - "Oh god! Fuck, come on G-George, run!"
I managed to stand while an arrow was stuck in my shoulder. It hurt like hell, but still, no tears.
Jacob was running next to me and Zak was running not to far behind. I saw another arrow fly by my head. All of us headed towards the front of Jacobs place and hopped into a van.
The keys where hidden in the glove box. Jacob immediately pulled them out and started the car and began driving over the speed limit.
What's going on?!
I felt warm liquid rush down my arm as I sat in the back seats next to Zak. I couldn't even lean back or the arrow would go completely through my shoulder! I held my left hand right where the arrow was.
All I could do was sit there and wait for our destination. Where was Jacob heading, the hospital? Dave's house? Someone else's house? Who knows.
Jacob - "G-George c-can you h-heal?"
George - "Not when th-there is something i-in my shoulder!"
Great, now we're all stuttering or mute. Just great.
~Evening, 6:33pm~
After minutes or what felt like hours of pain in my shoulder Jacob finally stopped. Zak got even more scared which somehow triggered his "Mutant form" or whatever you'd call it. His legs bent backwards a bit but his arms were normal.
Jacob helped me out of the backseat and I glanced up at the house in front of us. I'm not completely sure but I think this is Dave's house. I've been here once before because he invited Jacob and I to a party.
We headed up to the door and Jacob banged on the door.
We heard footsteps quickly rushing down the stairs. The door opened. Only to be met with Dave. Zak was still crying and deformed. My shoulder had an arrow through it. Jacob... He just looked insane.
Dave - "Oh fuck. Dream did this right? Come in."
How does he know about Dream... Wait, didn't Darryl tell us something about him being with Dave for the first time they faced Dream.
We walked inside the house and I glanced around and saw a bloodstained carpet and couch. Everything else looked ok.
Dave - "Jacob, right? Yeah, just get him to lay down on the couch and I'll grab my stuff."
I watched as Dave rushed off somewhere.
This is such a mess. Everything is. All I wanted was a simple youtube carrier, but no. I get violence, murder and fighting. Why can't anything just be normal around here.
