21- Time for War

Arabella POV:

Me and Ray left the house and headed towards the hideout. "Were they actually serious about this?" Ray asked. "I hope so, because if they think it's a joke, then they can go to hell for fucking joking around" I said. "Wow, not to be rude or anything but you're pretty harsh" Ray said. "Yeah I get that a lot" I replied calmly. 

We turned into the alleyway and went to open the door. I took out my key and unlocked the door. Ray quickly went inside, me following him. I locked the door from the inside and stepped down the steps. I opened the door to the secret room which was unlocked, meaning someone was already here. Supposedly Tony again. I went in and I was right. There was Tony, reading a book. "Oh, hey guys! Are you two okay?" Tony asked worried. "We're okay. Thanks for asking" Ray said looking at me. I nodded. "Tony, were you here two hours earlier again?" I asked. "No, I was here the entire day today. My parents can't stop fighting and they gave me a headache. And also you texted about what happened and there was just so much going on. So I didn't go to school and instead came here, where I could be in peace and escape from reality" Tony said sadly. "Sorry buddy. But I have to snap you back into reality now" I said. "That's okay" Tony said smiling. "The Survivors are one of the most important things in my life right now and I can't let you guys down" Tony said. I smiled. 

Then the door opened again, revealing the rest of the squad. "Hey" Sierra said. "Hi" I answered. "Take a seat anywhere and let's get started" I said to everyone. The squad members sat down and I went to the poster again. "Okay, now that we're all here, we can finally discuss some things" I began. "In this last period of time, we have met some people we hoped never to meet again. But sadly, we did. Beginning with The Rake, up to the Slenderman. I've invited you all here to get started on our plan of war against the creepypastas. Before the war, we'll ask them what they want and we'll tell them what we want. Which is obviously for them to leave us alone forever. And whoever wins the war, will get what they want". The room was full of fear, but also bravery. They understood what we had to do. "It's not going to be easy. That's why we're going to prepare" I said. "How long do we have to prepare?" Mark asked. I calculated the days. "15 days, including today" I said. "So the war will be.." Sierra began. "On the 13th of October" I finished her sentence. Everybody's eyes widened. "That's the international Creepypasta day and it will be the last one, we'll ever fear. Hopefully" I said. "But what's the plan?" Jon asked. 

I walked to the drawer and unlocked it, pulling out the plan me and Ray had done. I set it down on the table, where the couches were. Everyone turned to look at the plan. "Okay" I began once everyone was able to see the map. "Anyone got a pen?" I asked. Tony took one out of his back pocket and handed it to me. "Thanks" I said. "Alright, here's the plan of the woods, where the fight will take part. I have also marked our houses on here including our hideout. So here's the plan".

"At exactly 10 p.m I will text the group chat a message, which will be 'action'. Then everyone takes their backpacks and heads over to the hideout. But only if I text. If I don't then something must be wrong with me, so one of you has to come to my home right away. Okay, so once we have arrived at the hideout, we'll get our weapons and go through the plan once more. Then I'll go out to see if the coast is clear. All of you then have to stay here as I'm away. Once I say that it's safe, we go out. We walk through these alleys" I showed moving my finger along the map "until the edge of the woods. Then we enter from here, where is the most light, obviously because creepypastas hate light. Then you'll all follow me as low as you can be, while me and Ray search out the path to the mansion, which is only visible to humans on two dates: October 13th and October 31st. I know this much that Jeff is always on the hunt for kills, so he might be anywhere. But if we're lucky and careful, we'll get past him. Anyway then I will knock on the front door while all of you hide and go hide myself too real quick. When nobody opens the door, then we'll have to search the mansion and if they're not there, we'll have to split up and search around the woods. However if they do answer, then Scar will cause a distraction, which will drive Smile Dog crazy and he'll follow Scar. Then Jeff will go after Smile Dog and soon the others will follow. And boom we have everyone out. We'll follow the pastas to where Scar is leading them, don't worry, he's trained and we'll go through it one time. Where Scar will lead them is near a hill, where we'll appear and according to my logic, the pastas should be down, looking up at us. Then we do the speech and the war begins. Now, who will fight who? That's easy. Everyone WILL face their fears and face their own relative. No buts. And when we see that anyone needs help, we'll dive in and help them. But we have to think of our opponent's weak spot before we fight them. And the rest is up to fate. Who will win and who will lose?" I finally finished the speech. 

"So are you saying that I have to go against Toby?!" Sierra asked angry and scared. "Quit whining. I have two assholes to take care of at once!" I yelled. "Well that's a good plan" Jon said amazed. "Thanks" I said smiling. "Okay, now for what anyone will be in charge of" I continued. 

"Sierra, you'll be in charge of the food" I said looking at Sierra. Sierra nodded. "Jon, entertainment for the hideout because who knows how long we'll be there for" I said. Jon nodded. "Alison, blankets and Kevin, pillows. We have to be warm and comfy at one point" I said. Alison and Kevin both gave an understanding nod. "Mark, water. Very important to survive" I said. Mark gave a nod. "Tony, books and crosswords. We'll probably get bored here, so we need entertainment" I said. "Got it" Tony said, giving a nod. "And me and Ray are in charge of the weapons and first aid" I said looking at Ray. Ray nodded. "Unfair, you guys get the cool stuff" Jon whined. "I'm getting everyone a weapon" I said. "Oh, okay" Jon said. 

"Anyway, remember the plan and on the 6th of October we'll go to the stores, to get our stuff" I said. "Hey, but what about Ray's trust tests?" Alison asked. "We're starting tomorrow" I said looking at Ray. "Wait tomorrow?" Ray asked shocked that it came so soon. "I had planned this forward, don't worry. But yes tomorrow evening is the first test for Ray to prove himself" I said repeating myself. "What time?" Ray asked. "8 p.m at my house" I said. "My real house" I added, not to confuse everyone. "8 p.m? Isn't that a little late and dangerous?" Mark asked. "That's the point of the test" I said. Everybody looked confused, but nodded understandingly. "Okay everybody got the plan?" I asked over. "Yes sir" Mark said jokingly. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow then" I said. Everyone stood up and began leaving the hideout. Ray then came up to me. "But I noticed that everyone has two keys for the hideout, but I don't" Ray said worried. "That's because you haven't passed the tests yet. You will get you key, when you pass the tests" I said. Ray smiled. "Okay" he said leaving the hideout. 

I watched as Ray left and then my glare went over the room, stopping on the covered poster. I sighed and my heart began to beat faster to the thought that we were actually going to do this. I walked out the door and locked it. I suddenly heard a voice on my right beside my ear whisper: "Get ready to lose". I snapped my head to the right, seeing nothing. I shook it off and began stepping up the cold stone steps.
