The Golden Eyes

7. Getting the Key

We were walking through the forest, slowly. The trees full with different shades of green. Althought it was day everything seemed so dark I couldn't see beyond the trees. The air brushed the leaves making noises that sended chills down my spine. Jeff was leading us and Jack and Ben were besides me. We were just silent, hearing the noises at our surroundings. I watched Ben as we walked and saw he looked so calm...

After almost one hour of walking, something was heard from the distance. I was the only one to stop, it seemed like nobody had heard the noise and they just turned around to see me. "What is it, Blair?" Jack asked. I slowly turned my head and my ears started to move a little, trying to know the direction of the noise. Something that I did like from having wolf ears was that I could hear noises from far distances. "Don't you hear that?" I said to the others focusing on the noise. "Whatever is it, no" Jeff groaned. "What do you hear?" Jack said as he approached me. "I-I'm not sure. I can't really decipher what the noise is, and I have only heard it twice." I explained. "Well, then let's just continue." Jeff said and I nodded.

We continued to walk. The place  really was far. "You know..." Ben said after some moment of silence. "Walking in here reminds me of something." "Of what?" I asked, curiously. "Well, it's just some kind of memory." He smiled but didn't say anything more. After just some twenty-five minutes of the last time I heard the noise, it came back. But this time louder, but not so much. It was like a slicing sound, like... axes cutting through something. And this time, the others had heard it. We stopped, looking around, when I saw a black figure from the distance. It wasn't so far. It holded one axe in each hand... or that's what it seemed. "Umm, what's that?..." I said nodding my head a little to the direction of the figure. Everyone turned to see where I pointed out. The figure approached so quickly I didn't saw when it came to me. 'He' held me to a tree, his hand occupied with an axe ready to strike. The first thing maybe I should have done was try to get him off me, but I just couldn't. I carefully looked him. He had golden brown hair and some orange goggles that were stuck on top of his head,  hazel brown eyes showing. And a face mask with white stripes. "Wait!" I heard Ben shout. The boy standing in front of me turned around a bit, still holding me to the tree. "Toby..." I heard Jack whisper. "Toby, leave her. She's with us, she's Golden." Jeff said. I stared Jeff a bit confused, the boy named Toby turned to see me and slowly leave me down. "Sorry..." he said, smiling a bit, but I just stared as Ben and Jack approached to us. "Hey Toby!" Ben said smiling, his black eyes shimmering a bit. "Ben!" Toby said giving him a small wave. But... who was he? "Hey Blair, this is Ticci Toby. He was out for a mission." Jack explained. "Nice to meet you..." Ticci Toby said a bit nervously. "Blair, call me Blair" I told him grinning. "Blair." Toby said pointing at me playfully. "Okay, okay. We need to go now or we will arrive late." Jeff said pushing me. "Where are you going?" Toby asked turning around. "We are going to Jeff's old house, we need to find something important. Wanna come?" Ben said to Toby as everyone started to walk away. "Sure, but what are we looking for?" "Come, Blair is going to explain you in the way." Ben pointed out to him to follow us.

"...And that's what happened." I finished explaining. "Whoa, that's awesome." Toby said surprised. "Well, not much when you discover that your destiny is to become a creepypasta... but I'm not alone." I grinned at him. His eyes showed he was smiling... "Hey, finally we arrived!" Ben screamed running forward. I turned and started jogging toward Ben and the others followed. We were all at the door of the house. "Let's get in" Jack said. Suddenly, they disappeared and I was left alone outside. "Hey! Guys! Remember I have no control over my powers yet!" I screamed hitting the door. The door opened and I saw Ben standing there. "We know" he said. "Then you should have opened the door before, don't you think?" I said a little annoyed, crossing my arms. "Yeah, well" he chuckled. I entered the house. Everything looked so old, and the light barely came in from the windows. I walked a little to what seemed as a living room, the furniture was old and had dust everywhere. And there was blood around some places. "Hey, um, I think I'm just going to wait outside.." Jeff said walking to the entrance door. "It's okay..." I said and he went outside. "Where to start..." I said to myself. Ticci Toby and Jack appeared at the living room. "I think we should split up and search each of us one place, it shouldn't be difficult to find the key. The house is not that big." Jack said. "I agree." I said thinking. "Wait, where is Jeff?" Toby asked. "Oh he went outside" I said "Okay then, Blair I think you should go and look in some of the rooms in the top floor, Ben the other rooms, Toby the kitchen and maybe the loundry and I should look the rest of the living room and hallway. I know is weird to look that places, but we don't have any idea in what place it could be." Jack said. We all nodded and went to look through the house.
