Ryme Aeri
(looking up from her phone)
koko, you sure you know where you’re going?
Ryme Aeri
This place looks like it’s straight out of a horror movie.
Camila Kor
*Rolling her eyes*
Relax, babe GPS says we’re almost there.
Kim Reynolds
*leaning forward*
What’s the worst that could happen?
Kim Reynolds
A flat tire? A ghost?
Metarth
If it’s a ghost, I’m calling dibs on the first dance. *laughingly*
*Suddenly, a loud CRACK of thunder booms overhead. The car jolts as a FLASH of lightning illuminates the dark road.*
Zainab zia
*tense*
Uhh… That was close.
Camila Kor
(trying to remain calm)
It.’s just a storm. We’ll be fine.
*The car suddenly hits a pothole, causing it to SKID. Camila struggles to regain control.*
Ryme Aeri
(screaming)
koko!
*With a final jerk, the car comes to a stop, the engine sputtering. Rain pours down, tapping rapidly against the roof.*
Camila Kor
(breathing heavily)
Everyone okay..?
*They all nod, shaken but unharmed.*
Kim Reynolds
(looking out)
Well...
Kim Reynolds
It looks like we’re stuck.
Metarth
(grinning)
Looks like we need a place to crash.
Metarth
Let’s find a shelter!
*The friends step out of the car and huddle under a flimsy umbrella as they approach a dilapidated cabin, its windows cracked and door slightly ajar.*
Zainab zia
(frowning)
I don’t know, guys. This place looks... creepy.
Camila Kor
(stepping forward)
We don’t have much choice. It’s either this or get soaked.
Metarth
(cheerily)
Come on, Zia. Where’s your sense of adventure?
*They enter the cabin, the door CREAKING ominously behind them.*
Draft
Ryme Aeri
Grinning)
A piano!
*The board flashes, revealing a new challenge. Shadows dance across the walls, and eerie sounds echo in their ears.*
Zainab zia
(terrified)
Guys, we need to hurry!
Camila Kor
*Determined, moves a piece forward.*
Camila Kor
We can do this together. Just stick together!
*Suddenly, the lights go out, plunging them into darkness. A SCREAM pierces the air.*
Zainab zia
(frightened)
I can’t see anything!
Metarth
(trying to comfort)
It’s okay, Zia. We’re here.
Kim Reynolds
(pulling out his phone)
I’ve got a flashlight.
Kim Reynolds
* turns it on, revealing a figure in the corner. They all gasp.*
Camila Kor
(stepping forward)
W...ho’s there?
*A SHADOWY FIGURE steps into the light, a GHOSTLY CHILD with hollow eyes.*
？？？
(whispering)
Help me escape...
*The friends exchange terrified looks.*
Ryme Aeri
(whispering)
Is this part of the game?
Kim Reynolds
(breathing heavily)
I don’t think so...
*The ghost leads them to a hidden compartment in the wall. Inside, a key shines brightly.*
Zainab zia
(voice trembling)
What do we do with that?
Camila Kor
(grabbing the key)
We find out.
*They return to the game board, where the next challenge appears.*
