'Uh uh uh. You might loose a finger if you keep doing that you disrespectful boy.'
He replied as an arrow shot through the air, slicing Joshua's finger in half.
"CRAP!"
He screamed out as he looked at his finger and passed out, Konnor catching him and tearing off his over shirt and wrapping it around his finger to keep him from bleeding out.
"Joshua? JOSHUA?!"
Harper yelled out as she ran over to them.
'Hope that taught you guys a lesson. Now onto the third game.'
You could practically see the demonic smile that was plastered onto his face as he spoke. A door opened at the end of the hallway and a bright white light was all they could see.
------------------------------------------------------
Present
Game Three
The light was bright.
Very bright, the only thing they could think of was to run towards the light.
Harper made a joke in her head about how she was doing the opposite of what she has been told.
'Don't follow the light.'
Her father would tell her before he passed away in the army.
When they entered the room, it looked like they were in a hospital room.
It was white everywhere and in the center was a surgery table.
'This next game will make you think a little bit harder.
'Pronounced as one letter, but has 3 letters. I have two in me.'
Once you figure it out I want it put on that table. You have an hour."
Heavyn slid to the floor and began to think.
She kept repeating the riddle over and over.
"So it sounds like one letter, but it has three, there is two in him.."
Fallon spoke softly.
"What if it's.. nah nevermind."
Blake waved his hands and sat beside Heavyn.
"What? What is it?"
She asked as she placed her hand on his.
"I mean it makes sense.. we just can't get one unless we remove it from one of us."
He mumbled softly.
"What?"
Joshua gasped out.
"What is it?"
He questioned Blake.
Everyone began to stare at Blake until he answered.
"An Eye."
Joshua groaned and nodded.
"Remove mine."
He spoke as he went to lay down on the table.
"No!"
Harper cried out.
"No more."
She sobbed as she held her knees close to her chest.
"Joshua. We can't do that."
Blake told him as he placed his other hand on top of Heavyn's.
"If you don't then I will."
With his good hand he grabbed a scalpel and brought it to his right eye.
"No!"
Konnor yelled and ran towards him, but was too late.
Joshua stabbed his eye, screaming. Leaving Konnor with no choice but to take his eye out.
Konnor's hands were shaky as he grabbed another scalpel and began to remove Joshua's eye. Whom was passed out from the pain.
Once he removed it he placed it on the table, Joshua was being held by Harper. Whom was crying as she swayed slightly, humming a tune she remembered from when she was a baby and her mother would sing to her before going to sleep every night.
"Well, well, well. It seems you guys figured it out. Now if you notice that towards your right there is a painting. That is the door to the next game. You have ten minutes to leave before this room burns. Also, leave Joshua's body, he is dead anyways."
"Dead? How? He just lost an eye, plenty have lived from that."
Heavyn cried out as she looked towards Konnor.
Konnor scanned the scalpel and cursed silently.
"It's laced with medicine."
He took a quick sniff of the scalpel and quickly placed it down.
"It's pentobarbital, the medicine they use to put animals to sleep. He didn't have a chance of survival once he placed the scalpel in his eye."
Konnor huffed as he hit his right hand against a wall.
"I should've stopped him."
Konnor mumbled as tears slipped down his face.
"We all should've, it's not just you."
Harper replied as she stood up, dusting her pants off.
"Let's go, or we all die."
Fallon replied as she kept an eye on the couple that just stood in the background.
With that Harper slid her hand between the picture and the wall, pulling the picture forward. Once it opened they all piled in. It was like a small room. A very small room that once they were all inside, their shoulders rubbed against eachother and the walls of the room.
"Welcome to Game 4. Get ready for this ride."
With that the floor underneath them split open and they began to fall.
Screams were all you could hear as they began their long journey down.
