After Mephone went missing, things got desperate for the remaining contestants that were left behind on the island, the darkness started to creak in and soon it will consume the entire island if the objects don't do something about it. Things start...
I wished Lifering was here, maybe he could've stopped all of this from happening, but what is the point in wishing if it won't happen anyway? Balloon and Paintbrush have been arguing ever since we realised that Candle stopped breathing, "Guys stop fighting!" Me, Goo and Floory had been trying to stop the fight for a while now, but had no luck at all.
"ITS YOUR FAULT SHE DIED! WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT HER ALONE!"
"But I didn't even KNOW it would have happened! WHY ARE YOU EVEN BLAMING M-"
"SHUT UP YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"
Balloon was immediately silenced by Paintbrush after hearing those words. Their bristles made a high pitch sound and then ignited into raging flames, then at that moment the unbelievable happened...
"WILL YOU TWO CUT IT OUT!?"
Both of them stopped moving upon hearing the female voice, the figure stood up from the pool of blood, eyes glowing red in anger and the blood dripping down her forehead turned visible. "W-what? How is this even possible?" The two of them stood there, "How are you eve-"
"I don't fucking care, paintbrush!"Everyone did not move a inch at all, nobody made any sound. The only question I had was, "How is she still alive? She had already stopped for a breathing when we found her." The question wanted to make me shatter into many pieces of glass, it was the one question I didn't know the answer to...

Paintbrush's POV:
It was really unbelievable, the fact that someone comes back from the dead made me shudder, the flames in my bristles stopped and everyone stood very still. "I-I'm sorry I shouted..." Candle wasn't the kind of person I know who shouts at people, this was the first time I saw her anger burst out at me. Which was really bad, she even sweared at me,"Candle, are you okay?" Floory asked her but she didn't respond instead she started to back away and into the bushes behind her and nobody dared to stop her from leaving...
"I'm sorry Balloon, I didn't mean t-"
"Don't worry Paintbrush, it's okay. I'm fine now." Balloon responded and went to sit at the pic-nix tables. Something told me that there is someone lurking in the shadows of the island, like what Balloon said, maybe it's not his imagination or anything, but what is this 'thing' he is talking about? Tomorrow I will have ask him but for now it's getting late and I need to go to sleep soon and same for everyone else, even if Candle or anyone else went missing. I formed a pillow out of the bushes and went to sleep.
I woke up in the bushes and felt a sharp pain in my leg, "ow!" I looked at my leg and an orange glowing crystal necklace that is stained with red blood on it's sharp edge, I thought, "How did this get here?" I pulled it out of my leg carefully, it's probably stained with my blood, if not than who's blood would it have been? I looked around, couldn't really see anything or anyone.
Than the sudden loud screaming came out of the bushes, I ran to the direction of screaming but couldn't find anything, after a while, the screams went silent, "I wonder who's screa-"Crunch! The sound of crunching was below me, I looked down and saw a arm, "AHHH!" I yelped, then I tripped and fell onto the ground which had a trail of blood, "where are these things coming from?" I thought.
I stood up, the cut from the necklace looked more visible, I looked around, no one's here. "Where is everyone?" The screaming came back again. I ran, I needed to know where is the screaming coming from. I pushed myself through the bushes and trees, the screaming had already stopped but I knew that I was close to it. Then I saw the unpredictable on the bloody ground.
A dead body.......... It seemed to be Silver's body but it's stuck in the cracks below it, there was something black around his neck and more blood dripped out of it, the thing looked like a claw. The cracks glowed more red in blood and the claw dropped Silver's body limp on the floor and went back into the cracks and closed up as if it wasn't even there.
I thought it was safe to step closer to the area his body is and examined the body, it looks like he had been choked to death by the claw, not only was the blood dripping out from his neck, it was also dripping out from his mouth and eyes. I think he went through a big struggle with the claw as there were also some marks on his hands, maybe he scratch the claw up before he died, his eyes were gouged out from its sockets and was now laying somewhere probably close by.

I couldn't bear to look at his body any longer, I dropped his body on the ground and ran off. I don't know what to do now, maybe I need to prioritise this out, but if I stop here now, then what if the ground opens up and the claw kills me like how it did to Silver or anyone else who was a killed by it. I hid in the bush to catch my breathe and to think about this situation, but then I got a cut from the same necklace. "How did this get here? I didn't even carried it." The cut was quite big, blood dripped out. I was so tired that I couldn't even move, red cracks appeared from the ground but I couldn't move and eventually my body fell onto the ground, my eyes were starting the blur out, I closed them and I hope that the others aren't dead yet, I could feel the warm blood pouring out of my neck, then I saw my life flashed in my eyes...
