Master of the Candle

Chapter 3

Abi had no idea where she was going but she refused to let herself stop running, up the stairs she stumbled into an old dark room lit up by a single candle which was sitting in the centre of the room.

She was not alone. She could sense the presence of the person who lit the candle.

Abi heard creaking footsteps from behind her and the voice of Beth broke out. "Wow what a pleb! Who leaves a candle in the middle of the room, Abi plox come join us back downstairs, we are having a dank funeral for Nick."

Abi did not turn around to face Beth, she knew what she had to do. It was kill or be killed. "I submit to you master of the candle, Beth is coming soon." Abi muttered under her breath.

Beth did not have to think twice before she ran out, Abi was going insane. Beth sprinted down the stairs, behind her she could hear abi yelling "die unholy one and join nick in his resting place!"

As beth neared the bottom of the stairs she bumped into Zac who lost his footing and fell down the staircase. Beth ran to the bathroom and locked the door, theo was already inside listening to praise music and brushing his teeth. "Hello Beth Kissing, can you like the picture I just posted on Instagram?." Beth was infuriated. "Who posts pictures on Instagram at a time like this!" she yelled towards Theo.

Beth sat in the awkward silence with theo who was trying to take selfies with his camera. A million thoughts raced through her head, she missed Nick and wanted to make sure no other squad members died. As she thought about this she realised... She had left Zac alone at the bottom of the staircase.
