When Things Go Wrong

Chapter 3: The Blood Bath

*Eloise's POV*

Oh gosh, oh gosh, it's happening again. We're all gonna die, all gonna die.....

Right. Kids are here! Right. Can't freak them out.

"Let's get closer to the fire." I told the two freaked out girls, trying to stay calm.

I noticed David was gone, that probably wasn't a good sign...

Great. Fan freaking tastic.

"Um you know the point of the game is to blow out the candles right? Not stand around the fire." Sam said. She grabbed the girls arms and started pulling them towards the trees.

I was about to interrupt, when a figure emerged from the woods. I saw strange hair under a hooded cloak, and recognized him as Marvin.

"Hey, Marvin, do you know what's going on?" I quickly asked him.

He stayed silent.
"Marvin? Hello?'

Finally looking at his face, I noticed his eyes were as red as blood.

My eyes widened as I tried to run away. It was too late.

He flashed his light at me, and I slowly lost consciousness.

I became a different person.
I became possessed.

*Sera's POV*

I pulled Sam back over to the fire.

"We have to stay close to the fire! It's not safe in there!" I said.

"Dude, it's just a game." She laughed.

Marvin came up behind her. "Oh hey Marvin. Where'd you put the-" Before she could finish, Marvin shoved her into the campfire.

Her body lit up, as she managed a scream before her flesh burned.

Sera and I shrieked, sprinting as fast as we could back deep into the woods. After a few minutes of running, we stopped.

"Did you see Marvin's eyes!" I said.

"Sera, where's Eloise?!?" Kim shrieked.

"Didn't she follow us?" I looked around.

"Apparently not!"

"We have to go back for her!!"

"We can't. It's not safe anymore." I sighed sadly.

"Well what do you suggest we do? We just witnessed someone burning to death for crying out loud!" Kim yelled.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Another female voice called from deeper into the woods.

We both looked at each other.

"Hello?" The voice repeated, footsteps getting louder.

Kim dived behind a tree. I did the same.

She finally walked close to where we were standing. It was Hannah.

"Kim, Sera!" She wiped the tears away from her eyes.

I looked at her eyes, and luckily they were her normal blue, not red.

"Hannah! What happened? Weren't you with Rose and Julia!?" Kim asked.

"I was... I don't know what happened. Julia got hit with a flashlight while trying to blow out a candle. Then the person in the black cloak and her knocked out Rose and started dragging her away. I was hiding behind a tree..."
Her voice became more quiet the more she explained.

"Join our team" Kim obliged.

We knew that if we blew out all the candles, this whole nightmare would be over. We set out to find them, Hannah as our GPS.

After a while of walking, we reached a narrow dirt path.

"The candles are down that way. There are a bunch of monitors with the weird flashlights over there though..." Hannah explained.

Just as she said the last word, someone else jumped out from behind a bush, ran through the path and hid behind part of a small hill.

I squinted to see who it was. It was getting darker out, and harder to see.

My eyes widened in realization. "It's Olivia!"

Kim waved her arms to get her attention. "Olivia, over here!" She whisper-yelled.

She didn't notice and tried to blow out a candle. She got caught. We looked away, but we could hear her screams.

"Hannah?" Possessed Olivia yelled.

"Ye-"

"Shut up!" I whispered, covering her mouth.

"Sorry!" She said under her breath.

Olivia looked over at where we were hiding. "I see you." She smirked and started walked over to us.

Kim grabbed my hand and started to blindly run away. Hannah started following close behind, but tripped over a tree branch and fell.

"HANNAH!!" Kim screamed, but I kept pulling her away.

Olivia picked up a stick from nearby, and started beating Hannah with it. Blood spattered everywhere as she slowly lost consciousness.

"Hannah..." Kim sniffed, never looking away from the murder scene.

"We have to get to safety." I stated.

We kept moving through the dark forest, now more scared then ever.
