Fear

The Pale Man

*Ash's P.O.V.*

      "I guess I'll go next." I offered I rolled an eight and picked up a card. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me'" I said as Tony leaned over and looked at my card. "You're still scared of that stupid thing?" he asked, "Uh, yeah! That thing is evil man," I said as Tony looked at me confused. "It eats babies Tony, BABIES!" I yelled. A piece of chalk then appeared onto the floor next to a piece of paper and a satchel. I picked it up and read it aloud, "The full moon is almost here. Please be aware that you are going to a very dangerous place so please be careful. The thing that slumbers there is NOT HUMAN. You will see a very tempting feast, but DO NOT eat or drink anything. Use the chalk to trace a door anywhere in the room. Once the door is open, flip over the hourglass to start the time. Use the fairies that are in the bad to guide you through the chalk-drawn door and to the item that you are supposed to find. You have to come back before the last grain of sand falls."

      "Girls need to stay here to draw another door just in case we don't get back in time," I said, "No!" Jessi yelled, "I'm going with you. Make Chase stay here, he eats everything anyways." she pleaded, "Yeah, you're right. Chase, stay with Kim; Tony and Jessi, come with me. Let's get this thing over with," I said. We do what the paper said and as soon as we got back and the door closed, I realized something. "wait a minute. The whole point of this game is to kill our fears. We have to go back," I explained. We made another door and walked down the hall to the feast room. "How are we supposed to kill this thing?" Jessi asked. "What if we throw his eyes in the fire?" Tony suggested. "That's a good idea," I agreed. I grabbed its' eyes off the plate that was in front of him and threw them into the fire. 

       The pale man then woke up yelling and started stumbled around trying to find us without its' eyes. We decided to run to the door to tell Chase and Kim to come help us. "AAAAAAASH!" I heard Jessi yell my name followed by a blood-curdling scream. I thought she was right behind me. I ran toward her scream as fast as I could, and when I got there, The pale man was biting her right arm. about to take a chunk off of her. He's hurting my Jessi, and I completely blacked out with anger. I threw a turkey leg at him to catch his attention and to make him stop biting her. He let her go and started walking toward me. Tony started shouting and jumping around to distract it as I ran to the fireplace and grabbed the wood poker. He was about to gab tony and I yelled for him to move out the way, "TONY MOVE!" he quickly jumped out of the way and I stabbed him through the heat with the poker. I pulled it out of him as he fell to the floor, stabbed him through the temple to make sure he was dead, then I continued to stab his lifeless body over and over again to let out my rage for hurting my Jessi. 

       I felt a small hand stop me from stabbing him a 20th time as the monster turned into confetti. I turned around and it was Jessi, who was holding her arm to stop herself from bleeding. She let go of her bloody arm just to give me a hug, "I'm okay Ash, Thank you," I dropped the poker and made her let go. She looked at me confused as I took off my tank top. I pulled out a chair for her and told her to sit. I opened a whiskey bottle that was sitting on the table and poured it on her wound. I felt horrible as she screamed in pain but I knew I had to do it. I then rinsed it off with some water from that was also on the table and wiped her wound clean with a napkin. "Does it feel better now?" I asked her as I tied the tank top around her wound, "Yeah, a lot better, thank you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble," she said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm just glad you're okay," I responded. 

       I saw Chase with the corner of my eye kicking around the confetti. "Take that you foul beast!" he yelled. "Does he seriously think he's doing anything?" Kim whispered to Tony. "I don't know. I just try not to question his actions," he responded. Right when Chase was about to stomp on the confetti one last time, the Alp brought it back to life and made it grab Chase's leg just to scare him. He let out an awkward cracked scream (Kind of like Cole Sprouse from Suite Life On Deck) of terror and ran behind Tony before the Alp made it disappear into confetti again. "Y-you're such-a w-wimp!" Kim struggled to say as she was hysterically laughing.

        When I finished wrapping up Jessi's arm, I looked at her and moved the stray hairs out of her beautiful face. I then took a clean napkin, put cold water on it, and wiped the sweat off of her face and neck. After I did so, I couldn't help but lean in and kiss her. "What was that for?" she asked as our lips parted, "This game is dangerous, and if I kissed you now because I don't know when I'll be able to kiss you again," I responded. She then leaned in and returned the kiss, "Awe!" Tony, Kim, and Chase said in unison. Jessi started to laugh within our kiss and I smiled at her cute laugh, "Awe, how cute are these little lovebirds." the Alp said from the sky as the game board appeared on the table. "Enough with the mushy gushy, Jessi, it's your turn," he said as he started to laugh...

(^Ash & Jessi^)**(Cute isn't it?)
