Chapter 11 - When you see me...

The gang had just arrived to the final level. It was night time and there were statues all over the place.

"We're here." Y/n said, as he examined one of the statues.

Spencer looked ahead and he, as well as the others knew it. This was the final level.

"Fridge," Spencer started, getting his attention. "Give me the jewl." Fridge pulls it out and hands it to Spencer. As he did though, the torches along the path light up.

"That's creepy." Y/n stated.

Just then, the drums were being played out of the air. "I hate those drums." Fridge commented.

Spencer began to move toward the path, but Martha stops him. "Wait you're just gonna walk in there?"

"No, it can't be that easy." Spencer replied.

Bethany looked to the side and noticed a familiar statue. "When you see me, begin the climb."

As they all pondered over what that meant, Spencer got an idea. "I'll go through the trees."

"The trees?" Fridge asked.

"Maybe that's it." Y/n thought aloud.

"This is it." Spencer said, thinking he's right. "This is the final level of the game. And I'm pretty sure this is a Bravestone thing."

He jumps to the closest tree and makes his way through the branches.

"Did he just refer to himself in the third person?" Bethany asked, thinking about it.

"Fourth. Person I think." Martha commented, as Y/n raised an eyebrow at the conversation.

Spencer continued making his way up the trees, already making about 100 feet away. "How does he do that?" Alex asked.

"Climbing's one of his strengths." Y/n answered him.

"Oh, gotcha." Alex said.

"Cake makes me explode." Fridge said, matter of factly.

Alex and Y/n glance at him, before looking at each other. Y/n nodded his head before they continued watching Spencer climb.

Said Bravestone player was getting higher and higher, but stopped when he came face to face with a squirrel, making him squeal and fall. Y/n unconsciously facepalmed.

As Spencer got up, he looked up to see and jaguar on top of him, before eating him. As well as a few other jaguars.

They looked at the others menacingly, before they disappeared as lightning stroke.

A second later, Spencer respawns and runs back to the others. They make sure that he still has the jewl, which he does fortunately.

As they were coming up with a new plan, Spencer glanced at his arm and saw that he has one life left. (Plot convenience, happens in so many movies)

"Can I speak with you guys for a minute?" Spencer asked his close friends, with a voice crack.

"Now?" Fridge asked, as he and Y/n glanced at each other.

The three walked away and Y/n started the conversation. "What's going on?"

"I can't do this." Spencer answered.

"What?" Fridge asked.

"I can't do this." Spencer repeated. "Who am I kidding? I'm not some adventurer. I'm not actually brave."

"Spencer-"

"It's a lot easier when you have lives to spare, but it's a lot harder" Spencer paused "when you only have one life."

Y/n nodded his head in understanding, but before he could answer, "We always have one life man." Fridge answered.

"That's it, that's what we get." Fridge paused. "What matters is how you live it. What kinda guy are you gonna decide to be?"

Spencer and Y/n looked at him, before they both nodded their heads.

Everyone has one life, no second chances, no do-overs. What's done is done. It can't be changed, it's what you do now, it's what you learn from it. That's what matters.

It's the kind of guy you want to be and you try to be that guy. Or girl, equal opportunities.

"Did I just quote our principal?" Fridge perked up. "The Hell is this game doing to me? I gotta get outta here!"

"Look Spencer." Y/n spoke up. "We can do this. We're in this together!"

After a minute of talking they regrouped with the others and decided to come up with a plan.

Fridge called it the Double Reverse Refrigerator.

While Bethany and Fridge went around, Martha takes care of the cyclists, Alex and Y/n take the jaguar's attention to give Spencer a clear way to the statue.

~Timeskip~

After getting chased by a few jaguars and outrunning them, or cycling them in Spencer's case, he arrives at the statue. As he makes his way up, he is stopped by Van Pelt, who's holding Bethany with a gun to her head. Spencer abruptly stops.

"Give me the jewl, or your friend dies." Russell commanded him.

"Don't give it to him!" Bethany called out, getting a 'Quiet!' out of her captor.

"Stop!" Y/n, Martha, and Alex come running out of the bushes beside Spencer.

As they came out of the bushes, so did the jaguars. Right beside Van Pelt.

"Let her go. Just take me instead." Y/n said, with his hand extended. Bethany watches, shocked that Y/n would go that far for her.

The jaguars growled as Russell clicked his gun, showing that he just has to pull the trigger to kill her. "Give me the jewl!"

"I can't do that." Spencer replied.

"5..." Van Pelt started counting down.

"4..."

"3..."

"Spencer!" Martha whisper shouted to him.

"2!"

"BECUASE I DON'T HAVE IT!!" Spencer exclaimed, making Van Pelt halt.

Just then, crunching noises were heard, coming from the bushes nearby...
