~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{ Aliyah's POV }
The sun is slowly disappearing behind the mountains, turning the sky into a beautiful array of pastel colors. My long, auburn hair is blowing in front of my face. I take the elastic band around my wrist to pull it back into a tight ponytail.

Before long, the sun had gone down and the moon lit the sky.

" Hey! Aliyah! C'mon inside with us," called the familiar voice of my friend Christina.

"I'm coming," I said as I took one last look at the night sky before sliding open the screen door and joining my friends.

They all sat in a circle, talking amongst themselves. Christina sat down and motioned for me to sit next to her.

"What's going on?" I asked as I took a seat.

"We're gonna play Truth or Dare!" Danny, one of my friends, informed me.

'Truth or Dare' I thought, the words repeating in my head. This game always made me nervous, although I didn't know why. It must just be that you don't know what truth or dare you would get. I do enjoy a good game once in a while so I accepted the challenge.

We each took our turn as we rotated to each person around the circle. It was my turn to ask someone if they wanted truth or dare, but I had another idea in mind.

"Everyone," I began, "Truth or dare?" Everybody looked at me with confused stares. "It's a group decision," I elaborated.

A jumble of excited voices all called out, "Dare!"

"Okay then," I thought for a moment, then it came to me," We are all going to go deep into Quiet Forest-" I was cut off by everyone's gasps and arguments. "B-but it's the middle of the night!" said Carson and Hanna together. "We'll get lost!" cried Danny.

"We will be fine!" I said assuring everyone," We will only stay there for like 15 minutes, then we'll come right back."  Everyone silently nodded their heads, but I could still tell some of them were nervous. I then led them out of the house to the car and we all got in. Since I don't have my license yet because I had only just turned 16 today which is why all my friends are with me, Carson drove us all to Quiet Forest.

Once we arrived, we all stepped out of the car one by one. I shivered as I stepped out of the warm car into the frigid air outside. I slipped on my navy blue sweatshirt that had been tied around my waist. Hanna grasped onto my arm and held on so tight, I thought my arm might fall off! I put a hand on her shoulder to make her feel more comfortable and she loosened her grip. We walked up, standing close to each other in a line, to a sign that read :
                      Quiet Forest
            Please stay on the trails

"Okay then," said Danny confidently, "Let's get this over with."

We then started our treck into the dark forest. I stared out into the darkness, unaware what was out there. Unaware of the dangers that would come our way.
Unaware... that not all of us would return alive.
