The Daring Nature of Sophia

chp 1

The loudness of the scream causes me to step back, making my balance wobble. The gravity is all on my left foot now, and I fall back onto the leaves. "Oh my god!" I yell. What was that? I'm sure this is just a prank. "What the hell was that!?". I hate the dark so this joke wasn't funny. Christina barely convinced me to play this stupid game. I'm trying to not be scared, but the scream sounded so real, I can't help but question if this is just a joke. What if there's a serial killer? What if someone fell from a tree and actually got hurt? I'm really bad at hide and seek, so hide and seek in the dark is definitely nothing better. If there was a serial killer, they would easily find me. The roots of this tree are digging into my butt. Ouch! After a good 30 seconds of internally dying,I feel a sharp pain in my left arm. Oh god. What am I gonna do? I slowly stand up trying not to make any noise, then I start running through the trees farther and farther. Where is Christina's freaking house? I think I'm running the wrong way, this is bad. I think the serial killer is still running after me. I was hearing little crunch sounds from behind me.
