Lost in the brush (collab story)

chapter 3 (Grace)

as i run away, i look behind me to see that my friends are no longer following me.
i stop in my tracks and yell out,
"skyla? klara? where are you guys?"
i don't get a reply from either of them.
i then smell something that smells like...
gasoline???
as i walk closer to see what it is, i hear a voice.
a males voice, singing a song.
"hello?!" i shout.
"i scream, you scream, we all scream"
"damn whoever that is, they stan twenty one pilots"
"cause we're terrified of what's around the corner" i yell, hoping to get a reply.
"we stay in place cause we don't wanna lose our lives" they scream back at me.
i start running towards what appears to be a tree.
"are you okay in there?!"
it's a treehouse.
"this is not what i had planned. this is not what i had planned."
"please answer me! i could contact the authorities if you need me to!"
i hear a flicking sound.
it sounds like a lighter.
a lighter and gasoline?
why would he set the tree on fire while he's in there?
in this moment, i knew that i really need skyla and klara to come back.
"please come out!"
???'s pov:
"please come out!"
i hear a young woman's voice.
"make me!"
i yell at her, carelessly flicking the lighter.
"i'll call the authorities if you don't come down!"
she yelled.
"go ahead! by the time they get here, i'll be dead!"
"please just come down! do you have any family i can call?"
"they don't care about me so it doesn't matter."
"oh. my. GOD!"
i hear her yell and grab her phone out of her backpack.
"wait! don't call the police! i could be charged for this!" i lean forwards to try to get a better look at her.
"come down then!"
i roll my eyes.
"fine."
graces pov:
"fine."
i finally convinced him to come down.
as he climbs down the ladder, i turn around to see klara and skyla.
from what i could see, he looked very familiar.
"where the hell were you guys?!" i scream.
"where were you?!" klara yells.
