The Midnight Game

2:00

We ran down the steps. 

"What's wrong?' Lyla inquired

"I'll tell you when we get down there." I hissed through my teeth. We got to the den in the back of the house. There were papers everywhere. It was weird.

"What the fuck!?" Lyla exclaimed

"What's wrong?" I ran over.

"These papers feel wet and sticky," She explained. The paper was stained with blood. I read what I could make out. 

Day 1

It's getting worst. I can't stand myself. I wish I could just jump out of the window. No one will understand how I feel. Only if I could just tell Bryan. I don't think he'll understand though. I wish I was just like him. Always happy, not stressing. I-I can't kill me. I need to set it up so that no one would ever suspect what I've been feeling. I wonder how this will hurt Sky. I hope she doesn't go the same way.

Day 14

I found a way to do it. The Midnight Game. If the game is the real deal all I have to do is provoke the midnight man. Now I need to get Bryan and them to play with me. That way it looks like it is innocent.

"Damn," I whispered

"What's wrong?" Lyla asked

"Jay failed purposely," I explained

"What do you mean?" Lyla asked

"He was depressed but he didn't want to commit suicide because he thought that it would cause a ripple effect," I explained

"Wow. I would never have seen Jay doing that."  Lyla replied.

"Yeah. Neither did I..." I said to her  "I feel bad I should've seen it coming."

"Come on let's grab these." She told me. We grabbed the papers and started to walk out the room. I looked down the hall and saw a silhouette of a man. Then I heard a whisper that I bearly heard.

"You're next" then it started to move at crackhead speed towards me so I backed into the room and slammed the door. In the same motion, I nearly knocked Lyla over we both fell into the desk chair.

"WHAT ARE..." She exclaimed but I put a finger to my lips 

"Shut up," I said harshly but quietly. She gave me a dirty look but listened to me. I looked out the door and saw the silhouette at the other end of the hall. It was just standing there. I ducked back into the room.

"He's out there just standing there," I whispered

"What do we do?" Lyla asked me

"We have to just sit here and wait," I replied

"I'm not going to do that." She said

"You can't do nothing else it is a risk of losing one of us when we leave," I told her.

"I don't care," she said. Then she went to the door and I grabbed and threw her into the chair.

"You aren't leaving," I instructed 

"Stop me," she said and she opened the door. I heard some footsteps than in the spur of the moment I jumped in front of Lyla and felt a for hit my diaphragm I could barely breathe but I quickly grabbed salt and surrounded Lyla. She was just laying there but I saw her chest rise and fall then I turned around just in time to feel something knock me down I then felt of force on my chest and all I felt was something fill my chest and my vision went blank.
