The Path We Walk

Halloween Special: The Finale

  One by one we walk through a portal to a clearing I'm front of some trees in an unknown Au. It was dark out, wherever were were, with the moon high in the clear night sky. Once were all here the portal closes behind us. Nightmare walks towards the trees and stops right in front of the treeline. He turns towards us with his hands behind his back.

  "I thought we were going to a haunted house?" Reaper asks. Nearly everyone nods in agreement.

  "You are, but to get to the house you need to find it in these woods first. It wouldn't be much of a dare if it was easy.  Your goal is to make it there alive. Good luck." Nightmare says and disappears into the shadows.

  I shrug and start walking to the horror bros. I think I know what is going on. The best thing to do is go in small groups, rather than all of us together. This was going to be about speed, stealth, and tracking. "Hey Horror, Cinn team up with me?" I ask the brothers. Horror nods, while Cinnamon smiles.

  "We're splitting up into a mysterious, dark, and possibly deadly woods?!?! Isn't that bad in every horror movie ever?!?!" Dust asks. The others seem confused and anxious as well.

  "Trust me when I say that a large group will only paint a bigger target on our backs once we're inside. We need to move quickly if we want to get there in one piece." I tell them.

  "You know something we don't?"Classic asks.

  "More like a strong suspicion. But just how dangerous they will be depends on just how much they want to torture us. They probably won't kill us, but I can't say for sure." I say to them.

  "THEY?" Blue asks.

  "The white king and his followers. That's all I can say. It's best I not tell you anything else and ruin his game. Have fun.~ Come on you two we got a game to win." I says and lead the two brothers into the forest.

  "What the fuck?! So we're just gonna go?! What if this is a trap setting us up to die?!" Red exclaims. I pat him on the shoulders.

  "If he wanted us dead he wouldn't have fed us. We would give more negativity if we were hungry." Killer says straight face.

  "Well that's comforting. You two wanna team up with Sci and I, Classic?" Outer asks me. I look to Red.

  "Alright. Let's get going Red, otherwise we'll be stuck out here all night." I say.

  "Or we could just leave. Going home sound good." Red tells me. I just sigh and pull him along.

  We head in. If it was dark before it was nearly pitch black now. The only thing letting us actually see was the magic of our eyelights. Being able to see in the dark comes in handy in the underground. We try to stick close together. The rustling of leaves and sound of our steps was the only sound to be heard. It was quiet. Too quiet. Sci was the first to speak up. "Shouldn't we be able to hear animals or insects? I mean it's totally dead out here." He says.

  "Your right. It shouldn't be this quiet. From my time living on the surface during pacifist runs, I learned it usually means a predator is nearby. We should keep moving and stay close." I tell them.

  "What's that?" Red asks pointing. We all turn to where he's pointing.

  He was pointing to a tree up ahead. We all walked over and saw a paper taped to it. I couldn't see what was on it. Red goes over and pulls it down. "Don't look or he takes you." He says reading it. He shows us the paper.
