Niko

I opened my eyes

" oh and niko.." "huh" I asked confused seeing I was in my hospital room " try to get sum rest,k champ?" The nurse smiled and closed my door. I looked at it before looking around the room " urg!!" I yelled getting a headache. I ripped my monitors away from me and stood up before feeling my pocket I pulled out the keychain that had a now fresh crack across it I was confused and scared but shook it off and deciding to check it out later.

I was hesitant to open my door but did and a doctor was passing by my room" son you need anything?" He asked me " huh?oh no-" " NIKO!!" I turned my head seeing perl dash out her room and to the hall she ran to me as quickly as she could,similar to moments before as she nearly lost her footing

" per-" she jumped on me hugging me tightly " WE ALIVE!!" WE LIVED" " um yes?" "Yes that is correct." The doctor said before he asked " do you two need anything..?" "Are either of you suffering from any trauma you sustained?" No,thanks"

I mumbled as I hugged perl back to calm my nerves god jay would kill me for this I was so scared I needed comfort as badly as I hate to admit it " so..it really happened " I mumbled and she pulled back holding the keychain up in the air by it string " welcome to the hunted kids" she slightly laughed even though I could tell she was terrified as the keychain cracked grew and a drop of black liquid oozed out.




{Day after everyone discharge james and jasmine house Thursday afternoon }

" This is serious " perl mumbled " I'm hungry tho.." jasmine whined as her and jay shoved their faces with cookies " more snacks kids?" "Yes pl-" liza started "no thank you mrs valequz " perl said "aw ok well you kids call if you need anything I'll be doing some yoga by the pool." She smiled sitting down some pretzels in a bowl and jay hand reached forward making perl smack it

" no" she glared at him and jay looked at her"sure princess" he smiled ear to ear making me look at him when perl looked away to jasmine sketch book

" ik what you thinking " I whispered to him who only smiled. Considering no one really stands up to jay he likes it when people he close to do,he loves it when perl do. Dunno why he just do, "Niko hand me the pumpkin"

perl mumbled and I took the chain out of the ziplock bag that was tapped down to the inside of my book bag pouch I was making sure this thing wasn't getting away from me this time.

" niko where you even found it at I thought you lost it." James said picking it up before dropping it "SHIT IT HOT" jasmine giggled making him look at her " I found out about that.." perl mumbled " it hot to everyone besides niko,even through a ziplock bag"

she looked at me and took her pen sliding the bag to me "take it out" "yk it would be nice if you ask-" TAKE IT OUT" everyone yelled "ok ok ok!!" I grabbed the bag and unzipped,it taking the keychain out I held it and as perl said it just felt icy cold to me.

"why tho" jay asked " It speculated as like a defensive mechanism " jasmine announced "everyone who picked this thing up before lost it and the closer it got to out world,it found it way back to them.

It a connection between the holder,niko and the object-the keychain" "sooo if we let's say kill niko, this thing can leave us alone" James said "yk not a bad idea" Perl though as jasmine grabbed a knife from the counter " well shall we?" " NO" I yelled " how can yall even consider that!" " Well I mean you is kinda the reason we in this "

Ejay muttered " JAY,DUDE!!" "My bad" he mumbled scathing his head "ok look we not unaliving niko" liza said "thank yo-" "unless we almost die like last time" she finished "deal" "ok" "no problem here" " I can deal with that" I was shocked but before I could say anything perl screamed

" LOOK" she pointed to the screen that was a article " woman's sister murders whole family and herself,woman claim a keychain persuaded the girl to do so" " no way" liza muttered as jay read some of the article out loud " Rebeca Johnson age 31 claims a pumpkin keychain her sister found one day in her basketball locker room possessed her sister to murder their parents and twin infant brothers,Rebecca barely survived suffering head injuries and two stab wounds to the gut..her sister May Johnson than apparently cried before slitting her own throat" jay finished

" this some dark stuff" liza commented" eh I read worse" perl mumbled grabbing a pretzel " one of the worse massacres in history" one of the lines read " so we have a lead that actually alive?" I asked perl " she in a insane asylum. Weird thing however,it says she put herself there willingly "

jasmine muttered she grabbed her pen and flipped to a empty page in her sketch book "I'll write down the address,name location and phone number." She muttered to herself.

" maybe she can help us." Jay breathed out and I looked at the keychain on the table "lets hope so,now we need to address the big issue..the cracks and we are running out of time." Perl said " how so" liza asked "we all been through a scenario well us who was in niko group at least. It weird jay and you remembered liza" "maybe they got roped in it?" After all rebecca remember." I nodded "bad news for you niko..every holder of the keychain in the past have died"

"oh great" I muttered sinking in my chair "as long as we live we good" james shrugged "um no.. back to the first sighting of the keychain a Indian gifted the keychain to a group of pilgrims kids, and the 4 kids involved all died even tho the one who originally wore the keychain and accepted it was the only holder " ig it kinda a if you around it while it happening you in the game too type of thing" jasmine said

" so that lead us to the main thing.. the next time we have to talk about with the keychain scenario.. The next time we experience something from this thing.. it may actually kill us." Jasmine muttered as she flipped through and showed us a drawing of all of us looking up to the sky as a pair of eyes loomed over us

" we need to prepare and think of our next step." James said " we don't know when something can happen we need to be near at least one member 98 percent of the time." Jay said and liza agreed "we should discuss this more,sooo sleepover?" Jasmine asked smiling
