Mystery Crew

Bacon

Phoebe led us to a small cottage in the woods. A thought came to me that she might start a forest fire someday. This thought scared me as we are in the woods. I looked around and only see large trees and bushes. The path that we are walking towards is a very clear path to where she's taking us.

It's pretty weird actually. Some woods don't have clear pathways like this. Some woods don't even have clear pathways at all! But this gave me some the chills.

What if she's going to slaughter me.

What if she's going to eat me.

WHAT IF SHE'S GOING TO BURN ME ALIVE!?

or worst...

What if she's going to slaughter me then eat me and THEN BURN ME ALIVE!?

I blinked to get that thought out of my mind. I looked at Phoebe and she seems friendly. She was talking to Max about something then looked at me and then turned back to Max. I'm sure that those two are talking about me.

This is why I don't have friends in the first place.

I don't trust everyone.
I never trusted anyone.
I will trust no one.

I lived my life with that thought in my head. Resulting me that video games became my life. Being homeschooled when I was younger. But I attended high school, and things weren't pretty.

We went to a cottage. The cottage looks like it's about to collapse.

"Hey blue guy!" Phoebe called.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"What I'm gonna show you guys is top secret. No one else should know about this. Not even your parents. Not even your siblings. Gentlemen, tonight we feast for adventure!" Phoebe said as she raised her fists to the air.

"Yeah!" Max said as he raised his fists in the air too. While I'm left here confused on what they are even talking about.

Phoebe opened the door of the cottage and what's inside is what you can see in a clubroom. There was an arcade console, two beanbags, a coffee table, a refrigerator, and a book shelf. Quite not what I expected.

Never judge a book by it's cover.

I went straight to the arcade console. "As expected for blue guy." Phoebe said. Max laughed and I rolled my eyes. Max sat on one of the bean bags and took a bag of bacon from his pocket.

That traitor.

Suddenly a black haired pigtailed girl with cat ears stood beside me as she watch me play my game. I paused my game, "Uh... Can I help you miss?" I asked. She didn't say a word and went to Max's direction.

Max swallowed the bacon he was chewing and gave his seat to the girl. Max came up to me, "That girl you just talked to? Yeah, she's Cathy Shadows. She's the most mysterious of the bunch." He said to me. "So you guys are some sort of mystery group?" I asked. "Nah we're just a group of friends hanging out in an old cottage." He answered.

Another guy came in. This time his hair was black like Cathy's but slicked back. "Hey Max! Hey sis! Hey pheebs! Hey... who are you?" He said as he looked at my direction. "Uh... I'm Charlie Mason. I'm sorta new to all of this." I answered. "Oh cool." He said. "Oh how rude of me. Hi everyone, my name is Donny Shadows. The heartthrob of the bunch." He said as he winked and smirked at me.

No homo though

No homo...

Okay I probably should describe these two. Cathy has black hair tied into pigtails and she has cat ears. Probably fake. She wears a white shirt with black long sleeves, a black skirt, black knee socks, and red doc martens? Okay... it's a pretty weird fashion. But eh. I don't understand women with their ways of fashion.

I should describe Donny as well. Donny has black slicked back hair and one silver earing. He wears a black shirt with a white hoodie but the sleeves are rolled up to his elbows. He wears black jeans and red converse. Did I mention that he was wearing black biker gloves? No? Well okay.

I guess those are the two of them. "Hey blue guy. See that chick sitting down on a beanbag reading a book over there?" Donny asked.

"Yeah?" I said.

"That's Cathy Shadows my twin sister." He said.

"Oh okay. Actually Max already told me all about her." I said.

"Who's Max?" He suddenly asked.

"The kid who is beside me right now?" I said.

"Oh. Hi Max, I'm Donny!" He said.

"Sorry about Donny confusing you. He actually has a short term memory loss. But the things he never forget are medical stuff and his sister." Max explained.

"Sorry what? Who are you?" Donny asked as he pointed his finger at me.

This is going to be a long day.
