Escape The Night

The Challenge

The woman leads Ricardo and Robert to a mountain. The storm getting more intense every second.

"This is a simple challenge. Get to the top of the mountain and retrieve the stone and chant the words 'et in purificationem eius lapis vel adepto vero lapidibus opprimetur' as you hold it up to the sky" She said calmly.

Ricardo was ready, he wasnt going to lose againt a "drag queen".

Roberts drag persona came out.
"Randy aint losing this shit to a traveller!"

They were equally as competitive.

Little did they know something else was at stake.

The challenge commenced.

The wind had gotten more and more intense, it shook ricardo and robert to their feet.

They werent expecting it to be this strong.

As they both crawled to the top, the rain had triggered a mud slide.

Robert thought quickly and grabbed on to a nearby tree. It scratched his hands but as the mud slide came by, he wasnt swept away.

Ricardo, on the other hand, couldnt grab on to anything in time so as he slid down, he hit a large rock as it stopped him from falling.

Robert couldnt get up as the mud slide was getting heavier and more difficult to avoid. Rocks and sticks came down, hurting his fingers.

Ricardo found a way to get up. He located another large stone and had to jump for it. He sprinted and jumped onto a far away stone. He grabbed onto it. His body was hanging off a ledge. His hands were the only thing keeping him from falling. He started to slip due to the water.

Robert couldnt take it anymore so he started climbing the tree to avoid getting hit by any more items. This would slow him down.

Ricardo pulled himself up, and his body layed on the rock. He was farther than robert now but his stamina was very low.

The wind kept blowing, they kept shaking. They were drenched and it didnt seem to get better.

Robert finally gathered the courage to go down and try to tough through it. He gripped the ground and started climbing it by hand. His body started to get dirty from the mud, and it felt heavier as the mud dragged him down.

Ricardo had to sit and rest. He couldnt take it anymore. He used all his force to jump. Yet, he had to go on. So he stood, and looked around. He spotted a tree trunk stuck in between some rocks. He decided to climb towards it.

Robert looked up. He saw Ricardo climbing. He was so close. He couldnt afford to lose. Robert went up to Ricardo and grabbed his ankle, trying to drag him down.

Ricardo noticed Robert trying to take him down. He started kicking and flailing, which only made him more tired. He grabbed the tree trunk to have something to hold. But, it got unstuck and started falling.

Robert noticed and jumped to the side. He was now hanging off the ledge of the mountain. Death was staring right into his eyes.

Ricardo tried to avoid the log, but it had gotten stuck on ricardos outfit and it dragged him down. As it finally slowed down, he got unstuck. The mud slide seemed to calm down. He started slowly walking to the stone. He was so close.

Robert watched this happen. All he could think in that moment is that he lost it all. All for a stupid game.

Ricardo looked at Robert and couldnt let him die. This was just a silly competition. He grabbed his hand and pulled him up using the rest of his strength.

As Robert was pulled up, and Ricardo was laying on the ground panting, he took his opportunity and sprinted. He grabbed the stone and a loud thunder was heard.

Ricardo stared at him. "No! Stop it! I helped you, you bitch!"

Robert shivered. He mouthed that he was sorry and began chanting as he held the stone up.

"Et in purificationem eius lapis vel adepto vero lapidibus opprimetur" Robert yelled as he waved the stone to the air.

The wind got more intense. The lighting was more frequent. The rain hit their skin as if it was bullets.

And finally, the stone shined, and it turned into a golden yellow with light blue.

Robert smiled. He was so proud.

Ricardo felt defeated. He didnt know what was coming.

Robert turned to Ricardo and as he did.

Ricardo was hit by a huge lighting bolt. Frying his skin, and making him roll off the mountain. If he wasnt dead by the shock, the fall for sure killed him.

Robert stared.

Then, it hit him.

Ricardo died because he won.

He screamed and ran down. It was a traumatizing experience for him.

Robert won the challenge.
