Alicia's POV
"Hey. We should follow this." I say as I point to a line of multicolored confetti."

"I hate confetti." Isabelle mutters. She starts walking.

"Why?" I ask as I hurry up to catch up to her.

"Nothing." She replies without turning back.

"Come on. Tell me." I insist.

"Fine. Okay, so... When Brian and I were seven, we went to a birthday party. This was when Brian built dangerous weapons for fun. He kind of rigged the cake so it shoots out exploding confetti. The room was covered in frosting and I could barely hear for a week. The worst part is, he somehow set up a black out. He turn on a flashlight when we were panicking. When we ran to Brian, the lights turned on. Problem was, he had hung up piñata zombies around the room, just it looked so real. I couldn't get the image out of my mind for three years."

I start laughing. The fact that Isabelle, one of the only people who terrifies Brian, is scared about a memory of a zombie piñata is really funny.

"Then what?" I ask.

"Then, he disappeared." She says.

"Who. Brian?" I ask.

"Who do you think we were talking about?" she laughs.

"What's so funny?" I ask. (I really hate having to ask so many questions)

"Nothing." She replies quickly.

"I know you're hiding something." I say.

"Shut up."

"No. I kno-"

"No. Really. Quiet." She grabs my head and pulls me down. A spear flies overhead. Suddenly, Luke is there. He snatches the spear out of the air and snaps it in half.

"Hey." he says calmly.

"You know. It had already missed us. You didn't have to break it." I say.

"I didn't know if it was an exploding spear or not..." he says. Clearly having a hard time coming up with excuses. Just like Brian.

Brian's POV

Stupid Isabelle. She just had to step in. She knew that I can't hurt her. Ouch. Her ideas always end up with me getting hurt: mentally and physically. This time, a spear in my right arm. Seriously, now I can't even use my sword. Matthew and Andy are nearby. I know that for sure. I can sense their presence. Must prepare for the worst. Sheesh. This is just like my dream.
