Broken and Fearless // C.B.

Chapter 33

Queen Mary Hide and Seek (March 2018)

Juliet's POV:

We were gathered in the engine room awaiting to play hide and seek. Sam did his intro and introduced Moe and Kazzy. We'd have five minutes to hide. We all had a camera so we could film our perspective.

We walked down a set of stairs. Moe walked to his hiding spot, and I followed Colby. He held his hand up to me and said, "Don't follow me, babe."

"No, suh! Wasn't planning on it."

Colby smirked. "May the best killjoy win."

The two of us went off the path, on opposite sides. I was wearing black, so I was hard to see.

I sat under the bridge and heard footsteps above me, and knew it was Sam. I pointed above me and mouthed, 'Sam's right there'

When the footsteps passed, I scoffed quietly. "Wow, Sam. You're awful at this."

Moments later, I heard Sam's footsteps again. He said that he suspected all four of us were behind the barriers and I whispered, "As far as I know, only two of us are."

Colby sent me a Twitter DM asking, 'Still hidden?'

'Course. You?'

'Duh. Sam's found no one as far as I know'

I listened for a moment and typed, 'I think he just found someone. Dunno who'

'Kazzy, I think. Based on the voice'

Sam's POV:

Thank God. One down, three to go. Kazzy said I was a head turn away from seeing Moe, and I was pissed at myself that I'd missed him.

While I walked to look for Moe, he startled me by filming me and scaring me. He told me he was following me.

I sighed. "Okay, now to find Colby and Juliet. Juliet's never lost hide and seek, so this should be interesting. Colby's probably hiding in a sneaky spot."

Neither Moe nor Kazzy had seen Colby or Juliet. Frankly, they could be anywhere. I looked between the pipes and didn't find them. I asked some people if they'd seen a brown-haired little boy or a blonde-haired tiny girl, but they said no.

I made a joke and asked if Colby or Juliet had gone to our hotel room, but figured they hadn't.

Kazzy and Moe told me they'd heard a whistle, which meant one of them was close. I walked past broken steel panels and a wood plank to find him seated on a chair. "You piece of garbage."

Colby told me he'd jumped over them, then asked, "Have you found everyone?"

I shook my head. "Juliet is still missing."

Suddenly, we heard a scream, and Colby instantly rushed to the scream and cried, "Juliet!"

Juliet was standing near Moe and Kazzy shaking and crying. Her face was pale. I turned off the camera at Colby's request.

He took her in his arms and asked, "What happened?"

Her voice was a whisper as she said, "Something scratched me. One long one."

Colby took Juliet's arm and we saw not one, but three scratches. "Baby, this is a known aspect of demonic activity."

Juliet's eyes widened, and she shook her head. "I don't wanna be here anymore."

"We're staying the night, remember?"

She was silent for a moment before saying, "My arm burns."
