"How the heck is that a simple game?! Your literally gonna hurt us just because we are blindly guessing!" (Y/N) explained. I cringe at her tone, seeing how crazy the mystery girl is.

"Hmm? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no (N/N)! Don't think of it like that! How about... I'd drop hints. Yes. Every now and then, I'll drop tiny hints off." What the heck? It's as if she has a soft spot for (Y/N).... but hey, free hints!

"Mm, alright! What does your name start with?" Sasha asked. Now that I think about it, without her phone, she's been more.. eh.. social. Good for her I guess.

"Shut it, Snow! IM THE ONE WHO GETS TO SAY THE HINTS!" The girl screamed at her, her grip on the large knife tightening. Knowing she could snap any second, I push (Y/N) slightly backwards so that I'd kinda in front of her, so that if she were to lash out it's not be on her.

"Hm, lets see... your first hint is this." She throws a paper on a ground. Zenix scurries over and grabs it.

"What are you waiting for Dingus?! Read it out loud!" I yell, causing him to jump and start.

"Uhmm ok.
Ahem.

The Shadow Knights, Written by ———

One is technical, one is bad,
One is angry and one's my lad.
One is special, their my dear friend.
But our friendship came to an end.
The Shadow Knights, as some would say.
Their the ones who are in my way.
Most of them are being led
By the one whom I think is dead.

Fin."
"...what the frick does that have to do with your name?!" I ask. She giggles.

"Nothing much, but it has to do with who I am! If any of you buttfaces can figure out the hint, we can move on and you can get another one. Remember about the deal though! Tick tock, only 1 hour and 54 minutes left, hehe~"

"Is it visuals?! Or, metaphorical?! U-um..." (Y/N) started to panic. She grabbed the paper from Zenix, and even from the dim light, I saw her eyes widen.

Y O U

With the help of the light, I saw some faint writing that looked backwards.

It was on the back.

"Zenix you dummy you forgot to turn it around!!" Sasha yelled at him. I was about to laugh, but given at our situation, I didn't dare to. I flip it around to see another poemy thingy.

"What are you waiting for? Read it like I did!" Zenix said.

"No, no! It's... not..." I stare down at the yellowish paper, my fingers graze the surface.

"It's.. as if it's in a code..." Gene mumbled.

It read:

(A/N: HOLDING ON ONE FRICKING MOMENT HERE I TYPED THIS WHOLE THING ONE BY ONE AND IT TOOK A WHILE WHOOIE.)

"Alrighty then..." (Y/N) started, "who's good with codes?"

"Oo! Me!" Sasha perks up.

"Better uncrack it soon. Times ticking down." The girl giggles to herself.
