Are we there yet?

"Are we there yeeeet?" I whined, slouching my back, making my figure represent the letter 'C'. My feet were slightly blistered, and my legs were shaking from exhaustion and fatigue, almost as if they were about to fall asleep themselves.

"Oi, how about you stop complaining and just get a move on, we aren't even half way yet!" Jeff complained, yanking at my forearm harshly, then quickly removing his hand and shoving it back into his jeans pocket. Is he scared of hurting me? Hah! Leverage~~

I sarcastically smiled and straightened my posture, walking a little ahead of the others and turning around to wave at David and Jeff as if to signal they need to move quicker. "You're kidding right? Weren't you the one complaining just now? You are one tough one to deal with" the white, blood stained hoodie clad male proclaimed, quickening his pace ever so slightly.

"Jeff we should stop for a moment, surely (Y/N) is tired. After all she did fail P.E. almost every year" David remarked, smiling genuinely at the memory of the past years. "Hey! Not like he needs to know that!" I shot back, playfully punching David's arm and scoffing to the side.

Heh, acting like we are best friends again is, well, to say 'again' would mean that we were in the first place...

I slowed my pace till I came to a full stop and looked down, forlorn and slightly tired. "(Y/N)! We haven't got all day, hurry it up will yah? Oh wait, I get it, you need to take a piss don't you? Well, the trees are your toilet if you need to go, just make it quick, we can't have you wandering around the forrest at night" Jeff barked behind him, causing my checks to flush a slight Crimson. He uses such crude language!

After a few moments I looked up and gave a weak smile before charging ahead to catch up with the two awaiting males. I sneaked behind and lightly tapped David on the shoulder, earning a quick jolt and faint sounds of a beating heart, "God (Y/N), you scared me.. Uh, what do you need?" David rushed his reply to my sudden action, eyes wide and gleaming from the moons light.

I sighed and spoke quietly "did you uh, ever consider us as friends?.." Resulting in a confused David, and an even more confused Jeff. "Sorry, what?" He asked, staring at me straight in the eyes, causing mine to waver slightly and cast themselves downwards.

"We're we ever really friends?!" I proclaimed, rather loudly by accident, even surprising myself. David, dumbfounded, grabbed onto my wrist and pulled me into a warm and tight embrace. Oh man, this is kinda awkward.

"To put it simply, I wouldn't trade all those years I shared with you for the world, they are mine and your memories alone, and I'd prefer if we could stay like that forever" he whispered into my ear, tightening his grip and then letting go. Now it was my turn to be dumbfounded.

I pushed David slightly, and stepped back "well, that's good to know haha" I laughed meekly, turning to a sulking Jeff "what's wrong Mr.Grumpypants?" I joked, slapping the lone male on the back quite roughly, making his face turn a little red "nothing, if you're done with your little cringeworthy conversation, then we really should keep moving" he remarked snidely, moving his back off the tree he was leaning on and continued walking in the same direction we had been going in for about an hour now.

.......................................................................................

"I'm *huff* dying, let me... Let me rest already!" I cried, stumbling my way over the rocks and muddy terrain, tripping over my feet, earning a chuckle and a rude comment every now and then from Jeff.

This continued on for a while until I of course had the brilliant idea to start a conversation, seeming as how the tension in the air was thick between the two brooding males. I understand they don't like eachother, but why do I have to stand here feeling awkward amongst them?

"So uh, Jeff. Pal, Amigo, Compadre, buddy haha... Um, sunburns must be a real problem for you ayy? Yknow, when you're out there killing during the daytime, trying to quench your thirst for blood and stuff." I questioned, waiting for his look of utter disgust as he ponders the question- oh look, there it is.

"Why do you ask?" He retorted, not angrily, just confused. Why is he confused, it's pretty obvious why I'm asking? Isn't it? "Well um, to put it simply, dude, you're whiter than a milk bottle in a snowstorm, so I assumed sunburns must be a pain" I said, a-matter-of-factly, shrugging my shoulders and continuing on in search for this goddamned house or hole or WHATEVER it is that we were trying to get to.

"... Would this be a good time to mention, my directional sense is not the best and we may have gotten lost?" Jeff quietly pondered to himself, intentionally saying it loud enough for both angry-head David and I to hear. "Uh yeah mate, it would be a BAD TIME, WHY COULDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER?!" I screeched, causing Jeff to scoff before retorting "well MAAAAYYYYYBE if someone didn't invite a monster into their house to play 'family' we wouldn't of had to leave without the others who actually know where they're going!"

I stopped, my face burning with a heat so immense that it almost hurt, and my eyes glaring with an intense anger. "My dad... He can't be, can he? No..Nononono.. NO! I refuse to believe that the man I have spent the last (Your age) years with could be a murderer, or a monster, whatever! Take back what you said Jeff, you A**hole!" I know it, I know that my dad was probably whatever the hell that thing was, but I didn't want to accept it. I couldn't.

"No! You need to wake up (Y/N)! Stop pretending you're in fairy land where everything goes your way and nothing could ever go wrong. It never goes right, nothing goes right! Learn to live with the fact that YOUR DAD WAS NEVER WITH YOU, it's been Zalgo all this time, but you were too stupid to realize it!" Jeff stormed off, running further into the dank forrest that stood thick with mist and haunting trees.

"I'll go after him (Y/N), you stay here, and DON'T MOVE." David ordered, giving me a serious look before running off to find the enraged killer, leaving me alone in this creepy forrest, with no way of escape, afterall, who knows how far in we got before Jeff decided to tell us we were lost.

God.. Jeff is such an air headed moron! He needs to stop acting like a moody teenage baby, ugh! "AAUUUGHHHH! JEFF YOU STUPID A**HOLE! I hope you stay lost!" I couldn't help it, and the words had escaped my mouth before I had time to process the deadly words I was saying, I mean, he could kill me for saying that! I... I need to remember that he is capable of snapping my neck like a twig if he so wished it. I'm too careless around him.

He's a killer, I mean, I know that but... I'm strangely drawn to him, I mean, it's only a natural response to be grateful towards the person who had saved you on multiple occasions, but, well, I mean, surely he wouldn't hurt me this far into the game haha.. Right?

*sigh* "might as well rest while I have the chance" I said, as I looked around at the surrounding area, deciding the best location to take a nice little rest. As I looked around, I could have sworn I saw a pair of dark shadowed eyes... No, ok no, I'm just going crazy from all the shit that's happened today.

I found a decent sized log and set my bag down besides it, not straying too fair from the spot David told me to wait at. I moved my hands on either side of me and used it to balance myself whilst I lowered my butt onto the log, grunting from the slight impact and wetness of my new moldy seat. It's better than sitting straight on the ground, after all a storm did only just pass not long ago, so everything is still wet.

My back rested against a tree that the log had been next to, closing my eyes a little, but keeping them open slightly, so that a crack of light soothed my beating heart. This place is so scary, even as a kid I didn't play in the forrest near my old town to the point where I would get this far in. It so hard to see anything.

This place makes me so.. So tired... And with that, my eyes closed completely, surrounding my vision with only the dark black of the inside of my eyelids. Sleep sounds pretty good right now...

*vrrr* huh?

*vrrr* [insert phone ringtone here] what the? How can I even get reception out here?!

I opened my eyes, stunned, and reached for my phone, feeling it vibrate in my hands slightly, letting it ring a little longer before flicking it to the answer call option. "Um.. Hello?" I questioned, with no response, only hearing the sound of static. "Hellooo?" I asked again, being greeted still with no response.

I was about the hang up when I heard a slight mumbling "-p away.." Whoever this person was said "what? Look is this some kind of prank-" "move away from your phone (Y/N)" they said again, their voice a little clearer this time.

I decided to listen, placing my phone on the ground and standing up, moving away cautiously, minding the rocks and fallen twigs. A weird popping and louder static boomed from my phone before an arm reached out, almost like the typical "zombie hand coming from the ground" thing they do in movies.

I gasped and quickly moved to kick the arm, letting out a war cry almost, seeming to alarm the thing attached. I heard a groan before the noises stopped, my face full of surprise as my brother and Ben had just emerged from the now silent phone. That was a really weird thing to witness... *shiver*

"Thanks for the bruise" Ben sarcastically remarked, letting go of my brothers hand to gesture the rude finger in my face, causing me to retort by slapping his hand away and punch his arm.

My brother stood in the spot awkwardly, quickly shifting his gaze to the side, almost trying to avoid a conversation. The loser is hiding something, I know it. "Jake Walls Phillip (L/N), what are you hiding" I joked, calling my brother by his full name, earning his attention along with a saddened look.

"H-hey, no insult? Yo, what's wrong?" I worriedly questioned, stepping towards the shifting relative and completely disregarding the green clad male that tried to block my path. God, over protective much?

"Ben stop acting like a protective boyfriend, my brother is acting weird and I intend to find out why" I pushed past the now blushing and slightly shy acting midget, standing in front of Jake with a glare.

"Jake, what do you know-" "N-Nothing! I know nothing!" He blurted out, causing his words to sound very rushed and high pitched whilst holding his hands out defensively. "Jake, WHAT.DO.YOU.KNOW?" I said almost deadly serious, roughly poking his shoulder a few times, but to no avail as he replied with almost the same answer. Nothing.

I sighed and sat down on the same log from before, placing my phone back into my bag and cupping my face in my hands. Everything is a mess. I'm out in the woods with one of the many killers I've met in the past couple of weeks. My dad may have never even been real. My brother is hiding something from me whilst his protective boyfriend is standing there as red as a tomato, and now David has gone to catch and probably fight the most dangerous and moodswingy killer I know. Just your average day, for any average teenager.

I was about to start a rant when I heard slight rustling, like leaves being crushed and moved. I froze, looking at Ben who was in a defensive stance, Jake standing behind him looking at the direction of the noise. I held my breath in anticipation, hoping it was someone I knew.

My chest started hurting as I was literally holding my breath now, causing me to let out a loud cough, and pausing for a second. Oh no, what if whatever that is just heard me.

The rustling quickened, getting louder and louder until a figure started to emerge from the mist in the distance.

Oh no, we're dead.
