Author note: I don't like swearing, I can't even force myself to verbally say hell. One part may have some semi-offensive language, so be ready (sorry)

(Luke's POV)

"We should have a campfire every night!" Exclaimed Sean. "This was really fun!"  I agree. It is really fun listening to everyone's crack scary stories. But I couldn't stop thinking about the girl. And I'm pretty sure Zander couldn't either. We both sat their, while everyone else talked about band stuff, bullies, funny stories and stuff. I was too busy thinking that I didn't notice something happen. Everybody suddenly stopped talking and stared at me. I came back to the world from my imagination and looked at them. I felt something on my shoulder. 

"What?" I asked. They all started looking at me with a look that said 'Look what's on your shoulder.' I looked down and saw Zander sleeping on my shoulder. "Uh-" I trembled. Then my face turned bright red. 

"Told you" Hailey said.

"Don't tell him about this" I threatened. I left him there. I mean, duh. It felt... good? The last time this happened was at Zander's sleepover. We were 4. Hailey always packs instruments with her for some reason, so she got out her guitar and started singing and playing. I think it was the song 'Count On Me'. I'm not sure how, but I knew the lyrics. We all sang along, well all except Zander. He was still asleep. 

"It's 10 already? Geez we better go to sleep." Sean said in a surprised tone. "Can I stay up longer?" I asked. I still didn't want to wake Zander. And soon enough we were cuddling on the log asleep.

(Zander's POV)

Light shone into my eyes. I could hear leaves rustling and I felt like I was leaning on something. I looked up and saw my hand clenching onto a red jacket. Wait-

I looked up and saw him. Luke. I slept on him. I turned red like Elmo. "Awww, that's almost as beautiful as the scars I have" Somebody said. "AAAH!" I screamed and jumped. The ginger haired girl was there, sitting on the log. 

"W-what?" Luke said quietly. He was waking up. I'm pretty sure he realized what (or who) he slept with. He hid his face in his hands "Putting that aside, wake up your friends, we have a game to play." The ginger girl said.

"And if we don't?" I asked.

"Consequences. Big consequences." Her tone went from creepy to serious. Luke and I went to wake them up. They all got out of their tents and we gathered around the campfire. The ginger girl explained some things to us.

"My name is Viola. I am 7 years old. You saved me from my parents. You let me come with you"

"Not really, you kind of just followed us-" Luke mumbled.

"That makes us friends. Best friends. And best friends play games together, RIGHT? So I decided we would play hide sand seek, but my way. The rules are I am the seeker. You must hide in within 3 minutes. I have 1 minute to find you. If I find you, you are out. If I don't, you are safe."

"What exactly do you mean by 'out'?" Hailey asked.

"Gone forever."

I'm sticking with Luke. If we die, we die together. If we survive, we survive together. 

"Do you all understand?" Viola asked. How can a 7 year old sound so much like a teacher?

"Yes..." We all replied quietly.

"Good. You will be teleported to a forest soon. Hide wherever you can. Then when you hear a loud siren, you'll know I'm looking." Viola clarified. "Oh yeah and one more thing,"

"You can't hide together. You have to be apart." Viola said staring at me. She must've known, but how?
Great there goes my plans of hiding with Luke. Viola clapped her hands and we were suddenly in a big damp overgrown forest. Everybody ran off, leaving me behind. Where should I hide? There's a small hole in the ground, maybe I can hide in there and burry myself. (Author: He can breathe still- well maybe-) I got in the hole and dug it deeper. Then I cover myself with the dirt. Suddenly I heard a muffled siren. She was out. "Where are you? I know we're friends and all, but I want to see you all cry when you realize somebody's missing~"

She was like Satan's daughter. I felt footsteps on the ground, getting closer and closer. Suddenly she was right next to where I was buried. "Oh, I wonder who could be here?" She teased. This was the end.

"HEY YOU! SL*T FACE!" 

(Luke's POV)

"HEY YOU! SL*T FACE!"

I screamed out of the top of my lungs. I knew Zander was under there, and I couldn't just watch him die. 

"More meat? You've made the wrong choice" Viola said. My red cardigan became visible for about a second. Viola must've saw, because she walked over to me. She was so close! She was gonna get me-

A siren sounded. It was over. I hoped that this would just be one game. That this cr*p would just be over. I was wrong. A lot more of her 'games' were coming.

Hi! I don't swear irl but it was the only word I could think of. Sorry if this took a long time! As I said before, I get distracted easily lol. I've been on school break since the 17th of December and I'll still be on it until the 1st of February. So if I don't do much in February to December any year, you'll know where I am. Anyways, I hope this chapter was worth the wait (it probably wasn't) and I'll see you guys next time! Bye!

Edit: I forgot to add this part but you may have seen I made a Japanese version of this. If English isn't your first language and you want your own language to understand this better, suggest your first language in the comments and I'll google translate the story (cause I can only speak English and a little bit of Indonesian. I'm too dumb to learn languages ;-;). So yeah! Ok bye (for real)!
