... We all laughed and started walking inside.
"So, how long until the next trial?" I asked
"About an hour." EJ answered
"Enough time to eat lunch and talk." Helen said coming down the stairs
"You finally joining us?" Jeff asked sarcastically
~When is Jeff not sarcastic? ~ Reno asked sarcastically.
"I don't have anything else to do so why not?" Helen answered
"Wow, we're your final choice or your last resort." EJ chimed in equally as sarcastic
I walked off to the kitchen getting bored and hungry. I was met by Ben already making two hot pockets. Once they finished heating up, he tossed one to me.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. So, what powers do you have?"
I told him the powers I got but not the vision I saw. After all, he would probably just bore him since he doesn't know who Sho is.
"So, where's the trio that is always behind you?"
"There's four of them so not a trio."
"Wow."
"What?"
"Cute and smart-alec. Now I know why they like you so much." He teased.
"Whatever."
"You leaving?"
"No, I'm changing the subject."
"Ok, so what is the new subject?"
"Have you ever played FF7?"
"The old one not the remake."
"I'm the opposite."
We sat there comparing the two for the whole hour.
"Uh... it's been an hour and I have no clue where the guys are."
"Here I'll take you to the next trial."
Me and Ben walked back to the clearing from the other day. Once again, I walked to the center of the group of people. I hate having all this attention on me. A cheerful but slightly static voice spoke to me.
"Welcome it's time for the third trial, the trial of the heart to begin."
His tentacles started to move forward this time going to where the broken pieces of my heart are. The fuzziness came back. This time I sat in the middle of the woods.
"Erica the Mansions on Fire. What are we going to do?"
"How is it on Fire?"
"Zalgo, he sent people after you for some reason."
"Ok, can we put the fires out?"
"No, the only way to put out the fires is for you to give yourself to Zalgo."
"Then I guess we know what we have to do."
The fuzziness started to fade.
"Congratulations, you have completed trial three, the trial of the heart. Here is your backstory."
I took a leather-bound book that was the size of my palm. I read it through and realized how much I put up with before breaking. (It's what you are and have been reading.) I walked back to the guys.
"Too bad we can't know your backstory." EJ said
"Why can't you?" I asked
"Because it will change the backstory if we read it." Ben answered.
We all headed back to the mansion and ate dinner before going to bed.
-How did I put up with so much!?!?
