Puzzling Secrets

E I G H T

<Amber's POV> (A/N again bc yolo y nawt)

The cruel darkness of midnight engulfed me as I woke from some sort of weird moss-leaf-bed. Where was I? Where was my mom, my dad, and my little brother?

I silently crept outside so the faint moonlight could shine me a path. But instead of a path, I got a person. 

"Hey Amber!" The person whispered to me. She looked Asian (Korean? Japanese? Chinese?) and had curly locks of really dark brown hair. Her eyes shone with undetected meaning. She seemed quite familiar; yet I couldn't make out a name. "What are you doing out here so early?"

"Err, had a bad dream and needed fresh air." I said, as I tried to remember my dream- or nightmare from last night. But, alas, my efforts wasted, all I could remember was sinking, drowning into the blood of the innocent. Wait, just blood. Not so sure they were of the innocent's. "What are you doing out here so early?"

"I'm watch, duh!" She said, rolling her eyes.

I was pretty confused. "...Why would we need watch?"

Her eyes literally popped out of her skull in surprise. "You don't know? Amber, this isn't a dream. We're still stuck in the game."

"What game? Why are you speaking nonsense? Just yesterday I was with my mom, dad, and brother. Also, what's your name? HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW MINE IN THE FIRST PLACE?" I asked in a very hurried fashion.

She gawked at me. "Y-you don't know?" She said in such a tiny voice that I had to strain my ears to hear.

"Why would I know your name in the first place?" I pointed out.

"I-I'm your friend." She whispered. 

"As far as I know, I'm not your friend. Dark Forest, I don't even know your name! So, please, tell me it." I snorted. (A/N Dark Forest is Amber's way of saying 'hell' :p)

"A-Angela." She said, looking horrified at the fact that I didn't know her. I don't know why. "Angela Ruan."

I nodded slowly. "So, um, hello, Angela." She didn't respond.

At this point, the other girls I just realized were here were waking from their (A/N beauty. well at least for Alana ye) sleep. I looked at them closely. There were about six other girls besides me and Angela.

Then, I realized something. "What do we do when we have, y'know, puberty?!" I shouted, suddenly self-conscious.

"Well, we're trapped in a GAME, so we don't have no periods." Somebody reasoned from behind me. I whipped around, and there was a (who seemed like about the second tallest) Asian girl there. She had a literal lion's mane of straight but puffy black hair all around her head. She had dark brown eyes (like literally everyone else here) that looked at me sleepily. "I would've figured you knew that by now." (A/N, ok, so it's been about a month after Grace and Lea returned from that weird-ass cave. Why did Amber only notice Grace was uneasy in the last day of her having her memories? Well, Grace was only uneasy that day, since she knew that something bad would happen. She just decided it was just a weir side-effect from almost being permanently turned into a villain.)

"Oh, er, yeah." I said awkwardly. I looked at Angela for help and she mouthed A-La-Na. I nodded with my eyes and turned back to the girl, who was just revealed to be Alana. Darn, I feel like  someone in a weird game story who just got Amnesia or something. (A/N oblivious Amber) 

"So, uh, Alana..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. 

"Wait," I was just about to continue my trail of words, when she interrupted me, "Why are you so awkward all of a sudden? Why did you look at Angela with that 'help-I-need-help' look?" She eyed me suspiciously.

"Because I have no idea who the stars you guys are!" I barked in defense after taking in a sort of deep breath. "Oops, sorry, that sounded harsher than I intended." I apologized in an instant.

They just stared at me, disbelief rising in their eyes. "Good joke!" A short, also Asian, which everyone here was, girl with medium black hair-length (A/N angie) said in an hushed voice, but fear for something (I suppose it's me not knowing who they are) was still sewn into her words.

"It's not a joke," I snapped. 

I noticed a girl with glasses and straight hair tied in a messy ponytail-bun thing (A/N Grace) looking at me in horror. "Savannah." She croaked.

"Savannah what?" Alana said, confused. As she said that, she kept looking at me as if I was going to laugh out loud and say, 'I'm kidding! I know who you are!'.

"Savannah. The one. I don't know how to describe her- just the one." The glasses girl said in a hoarse voice.

"Alright, alright, enough with this Savannah, just please tell me your names," I begged. They looked at each other and nodded.

The tallest one, who had a loose ponytail, spoke up first, "Hi. I'm Jessamine."

Then the shortest one; "I'm Angie."

Then Alana; "As you know, I'm Alana."

Then, who I presumed to be the second shortest one. She had glasses and freckles, which dotted her face. Her strands of curly brown-black hair was tied up in a tiny ponytail. I assume she had short hair. "I-I'm Lea."

Then the glasses girl; "...I'm Grace..."

Then a girl with long, black straight hair and glasses; "I'm Jenna." Unlike the others, not a speck of hope was to be found in her brown eyes or body movements.

Then Angela; "You know me. Angela."

Angela was the last one to 'introduce' herself. As the introductions of the seven girls ended, some looked at each other.

Then Jessamine looked at me and said in a hopeful tone, "You ARE joking, right?"

I shook my head. "Nope, not one bit."

They all silently looked at each other. I felt guilty- I had turned what had been a more happy environment to one with horror floating around.

Then, a silent name flew around us. Savannah.
