Mari smiled as she got the Walkman working, This is how we do it playing.
Veronica watched in amusement as the girls began dancing, she smiled as she saw Natalie dancing, a smile on the blondes face.
The girls continued to chant and laugh, but it all came to a halt when the music suddenly stopped.
"God Dammit" Van walks up, grabbing the machine.
"What happened?" Jackie asks,
"I don't know" Van replies hitting the machine, "Has hitting anything ever fixed it?"
"Maybe try blowing on it?" Mari suggests.
"What the fuck is blowing on it going to do?" Veronica retorts, pausing when there was a creaking sound upstairs.

"What the fuck?" she looks up at the ceiling, then glancing at Natalie.
"You heard it too?" Lottie looks at the girl, an uneasy feeling forming in Veronica's stomach at the statement.
"It's probably just a branch," Taissa says.
"Inside? On the floor? Sounds perfectly normal, everyday occurrence. You know, come to think of it, that's always what they say in horror movies... right before they all get murdered," Veronica deadpans.
"We could do without your sarcasm right now," Jackie glares at the girl.
"I mean you could...but do you really want to?" Veronica smirks, earning an eye roll from Jackie.
"What if it's... Him?" Mari asks.
"What? The dead guy?" Shauna deadpans.
"Uh, yeah," Mari replies.
Veronica rolls her eyes, "Oh yeah, makes perfect fucking sense,"

"You know what it probably was?" Natalie speaks up. "The dead guys fingers trying to find their way home," she runs her fingers over Veronica's back, making the girl shudder, "Ew, don't do that,"
Natalie laughs, clearly proud of herself for the joke.
"Nat. You really have to encourage them?" Tai can't help the smile tugging at her lips.

Akilah then speaks up, "You do have to admit that it didn't sound like it was coming from the roof"
'Fine, then it was a rat, or a racoon or something. I don't know it..." Jackie began, only to be shushed by Lottie.
"Oh my god," Taissa groaned.
"Listen," Lottie whispers.
The girls all pause and listen, no noise being heard. 
"Well I don't hear it now," Mari throws her hands up.
"All right, all right. You know what I think it was? I think the ghost decided it was time to get some sleep. And we should probably do the same, yeah?"
"Smooth, Coach,"

Veronica laid down, not being able to help the smile that appeared on her lips as she sees Natalie laying down beside her, wearing one of Veronica's jumpers.
"Stealing my clothes, Scatorccio?"
Natalie smirks, "Yeah, it's cozy," she lays beside the brunette, staring at her.
"What? Do I have something in my teeth?" Veronica jokes.
Natalie shakes her head, "No, you're just... really pretty,"
Veronica took a shaky breath, the thoughts of confusion and self hatred swarmed through her mind like flies and honey.
"You're pretty too, Natalie," Veronica felt a lump in her throat, she then turned away, trying to fall asleep, but there was no avail.

~~~

Veronica held the gun, looking around, but...
"Nothing," she sighs in defeat.
Natalie smirks, "Giving up makes sense. You're too far behind now to ever catch up." Natalie pulls out the score sheet and her pen.
"Please, I am one behind you, besides, I never lose,"
"Bold statement from someone who is losing,"
Veronica rolls her eyes, smiling when a bird comes into view.
She holds the gun back up, shooting it as it went to fly away, stunning Natalie.

She hands the gun to Natalie, taking the score sheet and pen from her hands, adding a tally.
"What was that about me not being able to catch up to you?"
She gently presses the sheet against Natalie's chest, continuing to move deeper into the forest.

~~~

Natalie had the gun pointed at a beaver, focused as she went to pull the trigger, only for it to not go off.
Veronica smirked as she held the bullet in her hands.
"You cheater!"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, it was too easy"
Natalie glared at the girl, trying to not let the smile slip on her face, failing miserably.
"I mean, silly little me, I must have accidently taken it out when I handed it to you,"
"Are you seriously trying to play the dumb ditzy girl? I don't think anyone is actually into that,"
Veronica just smiles, staring at the girl.
