It was a girl....
A girl my age, she looked odd and she sounded even weirder... I don't know why she answered when I yelled for my mom.. she introduced herself by the name rose. I said it was a pretty name... she didn't say anything.
I decided to change the subject! I asked how old she was and where she lived...
Rose said she was 14, like me and she lived in the woods in Seattle in an old abandoned house... she also muttered "it'll be your home soon" very quietly but I was able to hear her. "What?!? What did you say??" I asked nervously. Rose repeated that she lived in an abandoned house.. "No! Not that... the thing after that" I ask again with a lot of curiosity... "oh nothing! You must be hearing things" she said, trying to persuade me that she hadn't said anything... I ignore it....After a minute or two of silence, rose asks where my mom is...
I didn't know what to answer her. "I don't...... I don't know...." i muttered with fear...
-"Do you want me to help you find her?"
-"sure!" I answered in hopes we'd find her
We picked up our luggage and before we could leave, I heard a giggle from a far! I look around and on top of the bus is the nun, I was scared I thought my heart would burst out of my chest!"Uhm.... are you coming" asked rose walking away from the bus
"Wait up!"...I answer her as I run to her
I was still freaked out but I just let it go....
"It's reina by the way"..... I introduced myself and smiled!
She was quiet.....
"Anyways!!" I tried to keep the conversation going but she told me to shut up....
We walked in silence for a good two hours....
We were finally there! We arrived to what seemed to be an old abandoned house.
I asked if this is where she lived, she said yes!
I asked why she lived there and she said because she liked the surroundings and it was her parents' house...
I was scared to ask but I did anyways! "What happened to your parents?"...
"You sure ask a lot of questions don't you?" She changed the subject..... And walked away!
"Make yourself at home" she screamed from up stairs
"Thanks!!" I scream back
I was confused, but I decided to explore the place...
I walked into a room, there was a lot of things in there! I think it was the store room....
I found beautiful and scary art pieces and a box...
A black box, the words "the game" we're written on the top!
I blow off the dust and open it! There was nothing in it... I was confused! "How do you play a game with nothing?" No instructions or anything..? I thought to myself...
That's the point! Rose said from behind me!....
"I didn't say anything out loud!! How'd you know what I was thinking???!!!" I said as I stood up and backed away from her ...."Relax" she says as she starts giggling....
"The point of the game is that you have to talk through mind reading...., there are no game pieces or instructions" she explains...
I was still confused!
"That's how my parents died!" Rose said...
"Wanna play???"
.........she asked......
