"Would I follow you 

When you mindlessly walk into the dark? 

I certainly would 

Cause I had always Trusted you,

But, maybe I shouldn't have this time"

- DEATHMAS -

•○••••••••••••••••••••○•

Light's Turned off, Windows and Door Locked. The House was quite cause everyone was taking the rest their body needed. No sign of movement present in the silent house until Amyra felt thirsty at three o'clock. She twisted and turned under Kyle's strong arm that was wrapped around her waist.

Slowly opening her eyes she smiled when she witnessed Kyle peacefully sleeping. Her fingers trailed on his cheeks and then on his thin lips. Slowly and quietly she pulled away from him and wore her slippers that were placed at the the floor beside the bed.

Making sure not to make any sound she tip toed out of the room with a tangled hair and a sleepy face. A loud yawn left her lips while she quickly skipped down the stairs, the cold winter air suddenly embraced her making her frown. They had locked up all the windows before they went to bed. Where was the wind coming from?

Cautiously she walked towards the hall and looked around, the windows were perfectly closed and the curtains were drawn forward. Shrugging her shoulder she walked towards the kitchen cause she needed to drink something.

Without bothering to turn the light on her legs automatically took her towards the fridge that stood at the corner of the room. With half open eyes she opened the door of the fridge and grabbed a cold water bottle. Opening the lid she placed it on her lips and turned around but spat the contents out and took a step back in fear.

"You scared me!!" She whisper yelled at Jay who was staring at her figure, a smile came up his face making her roll her eyes at him.

 "what are you doing here?" She asked and placed the bottle back in the fridge.

"Thirsty" was the only what Jay said. Amyra grabbed a bottle from the fridge and handed it to Jay who accepted it with no expression. Amyra sighed when she noticed dark circles under Jay's eyes. He had not been sleeping at it was so obvious.

"Are you okay?" She asked and Jay immediately nodded "you want to talk about it? You look really bothered" Amyra said and jay just shook his head as a no.

"Can I get a hug?" Jay asked catching her off guard. She immediately nodded and spread her hands inviting him into her warm embrace. With a soft smile he wrapped his hands around her and hugged her tight. Amyra didn't realize that the opened door of the refrigerator was closing by It's own, while Jay saw it clearly by his own eyes.

Yet he chose to stay quiet, tears pricked his eyes and he bit his lip not wanting to let out a sob "Jay what is this?" Amyra pulled away and looked at the crimson red liquid on her fingers. Jay just shook his head and took a step back from her and thats when she noticed three large nail marks on his neck.

"Jay you're bleeding!!" Amyra took a step closer to Jay but Jay let out a loud scream startling her. She looked at him confused while he screamed for his life "WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING!!" Amyra asked trying to take a step towards him but he pushed her making her hit her hip hard at the edge of the sink.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!" Jay screamed at her and covered his ears with his hands while tears ran down his eyes. Equally terrified Amyra started sobbing in pain and worry. What was happening? What did she do? 

"Jay what's wrong?" Cody ran to the kitchen with his pyjamas on, nathan and Alex were also trailing behind Cody. Jay immediately hid behind Cody and looked at Amyra over Cody's shoulder. With trembling hands he pointed at Amyra and cried again. 

"Cody I promise I did nothing- he- he has injured his neck, then he yelled at me asking me not to come near him" Amyra said and took a step back from Jay who was throwing glares at her through tears.

"Amyra" Kyle skipped towards her and pulled her into his embrace then looked at the others "what happened?" He asked and jay immediately looked at Kyle.

"S-She tried to Kill me, s-she did this-" Jay pointed at his neck and glared at Amyra who looked at Jay with a frown.

"Jay- what are you saying?" Amyra asked while her brows furrowed "I- I- did nothing of that sort, I just gave you the hug you requested, and t-then you started screaming, Kyle trust me, I didn't hurt him" Amyra said and Kyle nodded indicating that he trusted her.

"Ofcourse, why would Amyra hurt Jay?" Alex spoke up and looked at Jay with furrowed brows. 

"What's wrong with you Jay?" Louis who just entered asked and held Jay by his shoulder. Jay harshly pulled off him and stormed out of the room leaving everyone dumbfounded. 

"He doesn't seem himself" 

--•○•--

"Don't touch it, It hurts- oww" Amyra smacked Kyle's wrist whilst he tried to treat the bruise on her hip. A sigh left Kyle's lip as he placed the first aid away from them and carefully pulled her onto the bed with him.

"What were you doing in the kitchen at this time?" Kyle asked and she sighed loudly.

"I felt Thirsty, Jay was there too" she simply answered and snuggled close to him while closing her eyes.

"You know Jay has never tried to hurt you before" kyle spoke up and she hummed. Jay had always been lovely with her, his sweetness and her sweetness mixed up would make the best Sweetness in the world. He had never lift an accusing finger at her but today, he said she was going to kill him, Jay looked different. Totally not himself.

"Amyra" Kyle spoke up and she hummed again "I didn't tell this to anyone else but, I kind of saw Matt being dragged away into the forest at the back" just as Kyle said it Amyra's head shot up and she looked at him with wide eyes

"What?!!" Screamed someone, but it wasn't Kyle neither was it Amyra.

Kyle and Amyra immediately stood up and looked around frantically searching for the source of sound. 

"You saw Matt being dragged by whom?" Louis's head popped from under the bed making them scream in fear. Amyra grabbed a pillow and threw it straight at Louis's face making him fall back on the ground with a hard thud.

"What's wrong with you? Why would you sneak up on us?!!" Kyle whisper yelled at Louis who was rubbing his head because his head hit hard on the floor. Louis pouted and stood up then sat at the edge of their bed.

"Who dragged him?" Louis asked Kyle and now Amyra nodded and looked at Kyle with her big eyes.

"I didn't see who it was- but He was being dragged into the forest, It was too dark and we couldn't see anything properly. I knew if I had told Jay about it he would definitely run behind Matt's body, and I knew we weren't safe out there, thats why I said that we should check on it at morning" Kyle said leaving the duo dumbfounded.

"We came here to have fun not to deal with corpse for God's sake" Louis uttered and layed on the bed ontop of Amyra's legs.

"Okay Now Louis, what were you doing under our bed" Kyle asked and crossed his hands over his chest.

"Why are we all sleeping when we are supposed to have fun? I was just trying to scare you guys" Louis said and chuckled when Amyra pinched him on his arm.

"Oh please Louis not now, we are tired, let's have fun tommorow" Kyle said and layed on his pillow dragging Amyra down with him .

"You guys are no fun" Louis said with a pout and scrambled out of the room leaving the couple alone. Walking out of their room Louis turned to the right to leave for his room but stopped when he heard someone speaking at the room beside him.

It was Justin's room, the door was closed but Louis slowly opened it and peeped in to check what the latter was doing. Justin was seated on his bead with a blanket wrapped around him, he was mumbling to himself while rocking back and forth.

Louis immediately walked in making Justin scream in fear cause he didn't notice Louis standing near his door "Calm down Justin, It's me Louis" Louis immediately scrambled towards the trembling boy and pulled him in for a hug.

"W-what a-are you d-doing h-here?" Justin couldn't help but stutter, it was clear that Justin was still scared.

"I heard you speaking, so I came to check on you" louis uttered and pulled away from the trembling boy. Justin's eyes fell on the door behind Louis, it was closing by itself. Justin looked back at Louis with teary eyes 

"Go away, don't stay near me please, I'm okay" Justin uttered confusing Louis "I really am okay, you should leave, please" Justin begged but Louis only shook his head.

"You don't look good Justin, I'm staying with you till sun rises" Louis opened Justin's blanket and joined him under it. He then looked back at Justin who was already crying.

"Come here big baby, Come near papa, I can give you warmth" Louis acted like a father making the latter chuckle at his attempt. Without thinking twice Justin hugged Louis on the bed, not caring if anyone would talk bad about them comforting eachother. 

"Can you remember the first day I met you?" Louis asked and Justin nodded "we met in the Cinema, you were crying like a baby on the seat watching titanic" Louis laughed and Justin did too "we were only sixteen, It's been long since we watched Titanic together" Louis said and looked at Justin expecting him to answer but Justin was sleeping on his arm.

"Good night buddy" Louis closed his eyes and let out a low sigh. 

Silence engulfed the room. 

A creaking sound made him open his eyes and he gasped when he witnessed Jay standing next to him with a wide smile.

"What the fuck Jay, I almost Stopped breathing!!" Louis whisper yelled at Jay who still had a wide smile on his face.

"Were you asleep?" Jay asked tilting his head and Louis shook his head "Do you want to scare Nathan?" Jay asked making Louis frown "c'mon we came to have fun, so let's have fun" Jay said and pulled Louis's hand. Louis smiled and walked out of the room with Jay trailing behind him.

"Where is Nathan?" Louis whispered at Jay who still had a wide smile on his face.

"He will come down in a few so you should hide in this wardrobe" Jay pointed at the large wardrobe placed at the end of the stairs "There are only a few coats in it so you don't have to worry, you will hear when he comes down then immediately jump out and scare him" Jay instructed and Louis immediately did as told.

Once Louis was in the wardrobe inbetween the coats Jay closed the door and walked away leaving the latter alone. As told Nathan trudged down the stairs with a half buttoned shirt and with sleepy eyes. just as he got down the last step Louis jumped out of the wardrobe scaring the shit out of Nathan.

Nathan literally fell on his butt and screamed a little bit more to ease his heart.

It took him a few seconds to realize what had happened.

Then he picked his slipper and threw it at Louis who was laughing hard "Are you stupid or what?" Nathan asked and threw his other slipper at Louis and it landed right on his face making him shut up.

From upstairs the duo heard someone closing the door. Louis's brain worked quickly and he quickly helped Nathan on his feet and pushed him into the wardrobe "I think Cody's coming down, scare him the way I did to you" Louis instructed and quickly skipped away from the place.

A sigh left Nathan's lips as he waited for cody to step down the stairs. He closed his nose by his fingers cause the coats hanged stinked. He waited for the person to step onto the last step but it was taking forever so he leaned on the wood at the back and waited for a while. But the person still didn't step on the last stair.

He was about to open the door but stopped when he felt movements beside him inside the wardrobe. Since it was dark he couldn't see anything so he stayed quiet to check if what he thought was correct.

 That's when his heart dropped, he heard someone breathing hard beside him. His lips went dry and sweat beads started forming in his forehead.

His hand quickly tried to open the door of the wardrobe but he realized it was locked from the outside 

"Yah Yah is anyone out there?" I'M STUCK, HELP ME!!" He screamed and was almost gonna cry cause he felt someone breath right near his ear. He felt a presence near him and he knew it. 

Alex who was stepping down the stairs stopped on his tracks when he saw the wardrobe moving by itself. He blinked furiously to check if what he was seeing was correct. When he heard cries for help he immediately skipped down the stairs and tried to open the door of the wardrobe. 

"HELP!!" Nathan screamed and Alex's eyes widened.

"NATHAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?!, COME OUT!!" Alex banged on the door and tried to break open the lock but it wouldn't budge. Suddenly the door flew open and there stood Nathan with scratches around his face. Crimson red blood was dripping down his melanin skin, his eyes were wide and puffy. 

"Nathan!!" Alex gasped and took a step back. Nathan was breathing heavily while looking around "Come out-" before Alex could take Nathan out of the wardrobe, hands appeared out of nowhere and pulled Nathan into the wardrobe breaking it into pieces.

"NATHAN!!" Alex screamed and tried to hold him but Nathan was long gone from the large hole that was made in the wooden wardrobe. Alex couldn't believe what was happening. Suddenly he heard Nathan's screams from behind the wardrobe.

Without thinking twice he pushed the wardrobe with all his strength and surprisingly he was met by a hole in the wall which led straight into the backyard. He could see Nathan being dragged into the forest behind by something, nathan was asking for help while screaming but alex was too dumbfounded to react or do anything.

"ALEX WHAT'S HAPPENING!!" It was Cody who skipped down the stairs like flash. Seeing the large hole on the wall he frowned and looked back at alex who stood there like a statue "Alex answer me!!" 

"N-Nathan, he was t-taken" Alex pointed at the distant dark forest. Cody immediately turned on the lights of the house and screamed everyone's names calling them downstairs. From second all the members of the house were standing infront of the hole looking at the dark forest.

"I'm going in, I don't care if you guys don't" Cody uttered and grabbed his Coat and a Torchlight with some extra batteries. He then grabbed his phone and walked forward but was stopped by Kyle. 

"I'm coming too" Kyle said and Amyra came forward.

"Me too" Amyra said but Kyle shook his head and held her shoulders.

"You stay here with Jay and Justin okay? I promise I will come back with Nathan and everyone else" Kyle said and kissed her forehead. She couldn't go against his words so she just nodded and hugged herself.

"I'm coming too, I-I want to help" Justin said and Louis immediately shook his head.

"Nah ah you are stay-" 

"I can help okay? Nathan is my friend too" Justin sternly uttered and grabbed his coat then an extra torch.

"Alex you would have to lead us" Cody said and Alex nodded. The five immediately scrambled out of the house towards the backyard with the necessary items they would need. Thankfully Cody took some knives from the kitchen for self defence. Jay and Amyra was left alone in the large villa. 

Amyra held Jay's hand and pulled him towards the hall and plopped herself on it along with Jay "what would have happened?" Amyra asked Jay who only shrugged his shoulders "such a bad day" Amyra sighed and closed her eyes. 

"Not it isn't, for some it's the best day" Jay said making her look at him boringly "do you hear the bells ring?" Jay asked making her frown "I can clearly hear them, do you want to hear them too?" Jay asked and she wasn't sure what to answer.

"What bells Jay?" Amyra asked and jay immediately stood up startling her.

"The Bells of Christmas is what people hear, but I hear the bells of Deathmas, such a beautiful tune" Jay uttered and walked towards the hole near the stairs leaving Amyra behind.  Amyra stood up and trailed behind Jay confused .

"Jay where are you going?" Amyra asked but the latter didn't answer, instead he started walking through the hall towards the backyard.

"JAY GET BACK HERE, DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Amyra yelled behind the man who was mindlessly walking into the dark forest "Fuck it Jay, they told us to stay here!!" She cursed and grabbed hers and Jay's coat then skipped behind Jay who was already walking into the forest.

She stopped infront of a thin red and golden thread that separates the forest and the villa, she had no time to check what the thread was, so she bent down and stepped the other side of the thread and followed Jay's trails.

None of them knew that the forest they entered was the forbidden forest, and they didn't know that death was awaiting for them deep in the dark.
