Screams of anguish fills the air.
But why? Your first priority is to investigate the sound, make sure if they're okay.. you jump out of the bus and immediately runs into someone. It was X, you were about to ask him what was wrong.. but..

His eyes were filled with horror, as he keeps glancing behind him. "YOU.. Run.. Four.. he.. get.. everyone- RUN!!" He yells, completely out of breath. You know not to ask questions, as you do as he says. But by then, everyone was already at the bus's door and all was just as confused as you were.

*SCRAAAAAPE..
A loud sound of metal, you turn behind and see an object with a mask. It had a huge smile on it, blood. Blood was everywhere. You don't even question it, he holds a weapon in his hands.. an axe, a bloody one.

He starts walking, before jogging, then sprinting towards you. You have no time to react, you immediately start sprinting the opposite way and so does everyone else.. they all leave you, as you continue trying to run away from the crazy object. You run slower than everyone else, because you're a leaf.

..

You run into the forest. Hopefully he must've lost you.. you crouch down, leaning against a tree. You cover your mouth as you start catching your breath, you don't even know what happened? What happened? Your friends.. what happened to them? You need to save them!

But how.
Maybe you should wait for a few..

Someone grabs onto you, sending you to the ground. "ARGH.."

Your eyes widen, the mask guy steps on you- making it impossible for you to move.. there are many disadvantages of being a leaf. This was one of them.

"Get off me! Get off!!" You yell, the object doesn't seem annoyed at all over your struggles.. and after a while you stop trying. Because.. because you noticed the eyes staring at you from the mask. The eye holes weren't fully covered, which leaves the pupils visible... The pupils stared at you.. stared.. into you.

You automatically freeze up.
He doesn't do anything.
His eyes stare right into you..
It's going to..
He pulls up his axe, but.. the wrong way? He was holding it upside down.

..

He gauges the stick into your eyeball.
You scream. Slowly, he uses the stick to tear your eyeball apart, tearing your left eye- tearing the leaf. It hurts. It really hurts. But as your eye fills with tears, all you could really look at was the eyes staring at you from behind the mask.

The eyes.. that..-

..

She jolts up.
Another nightmare.

..

Leafy covers her face, half of it. She's not used to it, she can never get used to it. Her eye throbs, the left one. She tries to hold it, to cover it perhaps.. but her hand goes through.. because.  Because that part of her is no more.

What time was it anyways?
It was afternoon perhaps. Leafy thinks to herself, she should go eat.

..

Leafy gets up from the chairs she was sleeping on, that was perhaps not a very good place to sleep. Because her back hurts a bit now. But where was she going to sleep anyways? There were only two foldable bunk beds, and she has to share.

Leafy gets up and walks towards the mini portable fridge in the back. There weren't many food left, the small dry cereal packs that Flower keeps making for herself has only 2 boxes left. There were barely any milk, especially actual water. There were some berries.. some nut mix perhaps. ... What's that?

She reaches into the back of the mini fridge, a glass bottle.. which has ..

..

750 ml of w.. whisky? What's that? A yellow sticky note sits on the bottle, 'Accidentally bought it, will throw out later, don't drink' with an angry face in the corner. It's liquid, a drink perhaps. Why can't she drink it? Maybe it's supposed to be used for cooking.. but where?.. it did say it was bought on accident.. why didn't they just throw it away? Why shove it at the back of the mini fridge..??

Multiple questions fill her head, as she continues to examine the bottle. There wasn't any water left, and she's thirsty.. maybe she should drink the mystery drink. Leafy moves her hand towards the bottles cap, even if it's that bad.. she'll promise to only drink a sip..

..

The bottle is taken away from her, Leafy turn towards the mystery figure. Lollipop stares at the bottle, before looking right at her. "I.. didn't think you're the type to drink these kind of stuff?" Lollipop mumbles, both slightly upset and confused.. and maybe even astonished. "....I don't.." Leafy mumbles, her hoarse voice startling herself. She really needs to drink.

"I'm thirsty.. let me drink" Leafy mumbles, as she tries to snatch the bottle out of Lollipop's hand, but to no luck. "You're thirsty? Take a bottled water or something!" Lollipop remarks, trying to get the bottle out her reach.. but why.

"There isn't any left.. let me drink god damnit!" Leafy exclaims, somehow successfully snatching the bottle back. Lollipop stares, astonished. Leafy looks at the bottle quietly, before looking back at Lollipop, with a stance that can help prepare herself for when Lollipop goes and tries to steal the bottle back again.

Lollipop sighs, "Look Leaf- I don't want any drunk kids in this bus it's gonna be so frickin annoying" She mumbles while holding her head. Leafy stares at her confused, "who's drunk?" She asks. Lollipop stares a bit before immediately understanding the situation she's in.

"The bottle Leafy, that bottle is alcohol" Immediately after that, Leafy gasps to herself. She understands now, she understands the note now. She immediately shoves the bottle back into the mini fridge. "So it wasn't yours then?" Lollipop asks, as Leafy stares at her. Why would she think she'd.. well.. from the way she acted.. she coughs.

Lollipop leaves out a chuckle, as she pulls something out from behind her back.. or was she holding that since just now?.. a half filled bottle of water. Leafy immediately leaps up at this, Lollipop gives it to her as she starts explaining what happened earlier that day.

"Since our food supply is running out, I forced those two to go find some stuff outside" is practically all she said.. she said some more but Leafy wasn't listening. Honestly, she would've liked to drink more, but she had already finished the bottle. The last bottle.

..

Leafy keeps a slight grin on her face, a sign that's she thankful. As she places the empty bottle on top the mini fridge, she walks out the passenger area.

She walks towards the driver seat and sits down. She doesn't know what to do today, everyday is practically just her waiting patiently for something to happen, good or bad. She sighs to herself, she misses her friend. Firey possibly misses her too, who knows. For him, he probably thinks she's out participating in another competition.. probably winning the immunity.. something???

.. but no. She's sitting in an abandoned bus, hiding from a psychotic murderer, as she waits for Flower and Purple Face to come and give her food and water.  How great. Maybe this would've been much more tolerable if Firey was with her.. or if she had been eliminated after him.., everything would've been easier if she had acted like a menace and got eliminated. She wouldn't be stuck in this mess.. if she.. Leafy rests her arm on the steering wheel, which somehow.. had started to collect dust.

Lollipop stares at this silently, unsure of what to do- she decides to start up a conversation.

"So uh.. what do you think you'll do first once we leave this place?" Lollipop asks, leaning on Leafy's seat. Leafy shrugs, as if they'd ever leave. They're gonna die. "I personally would be out at that steakhouse all day, eating away.. I bet you would too!" Lollipop exclaims, thinking about all the food she could eat. It doesn't matter if it tastes like complete.. garbage- she would be so happy and full. Leafy thinks before nodding, like she'd ever leave.

The mask guy is going to kill her.
And there's nothing she can do about it.
In fact, "I bet Flower and Purple Face are running away from the masked guy right now.. probably getting their heads chopped off, or their eyes gauged out. Then they'll be just like me....." Leafy mumbles to herself, horribly enough, it was loud enough for Lollipop to hear.. she stares silently at her leaf friend. Leafy notices before face palming, she wanted to think that.

..

"That's really concerning. What? You want them to die or something?" She adds, getting slightly concerned. Leafy stares in shock at the assumption. "No.. I .. absolutely not.." Leafy mumbles, the way she says it.. it sounds like she's lying- but she's not. She'd love for them to come back alive, so she can eat and drink again. Wait.. wasn't there nut mix in the mini fridge? Leafy remembers as she gets up, startling the concerned lollipop. As she makes her way to the mini fridge again.

"..... Was that it? Your eye got gauged out? I was quite sure it was just.. ripped??" Lollipop asks, as Leafy begins munching down on the small bag of nuts and berries. "It must've hurt.. huh? What does that guy even gain from hurting people like this?" Lollipop asks herself.

"Not like he'd receive money.. or anything.."  Leafy just shrugs, as she notices she had already devoured the entire bag.. what a scam. "Actually.. you're the only one here who had seen this dude and um.. actually got hurt by him? How scary was he huh? He big??" She asks, remembering how both Flower and Purple Face had never talked about this so called mask guy's appearance.

Leafy stares a bit, at her empty small bag of food, then to get friend. "... he's the same height as me somewhat, and he seems to be a circle- similar to Purple Face.. that's it" Leafy mumbles, as she puts the bag on the mini fridge, beside the empty bottle of water.

"... Then I don't think he'd be a match for me.." Lollipop chuckles, as she measures the height between her and Leafy. If this mask guy was the same height as Leafy.. then they were pretty short. Haha shorty. Lollipop can totally beat up the dude if she wanted.. so could Flower. He'd crush that puny object to the ground, hah.. how could Four possibly-

"He has a flamethrower"
Automatically Lollipop takes back all she said and thought. "And an axe, he used that on my eye" Leafy mumbles, as she touched her eye. Once again, her hand goes through the missing part of her face. Lollipop stares at this gesture silently. "Goddamn a flamethrower. Nevermind, I can see why you're so sure Flower and PF are dead" She mutters, silently hoping they both aren't actually dead. Because they have her food.. and she doesn't think she'll be able to live with this girl alone.

"... SO uh, you must've been sleeping great.. since you slept.. slept till noon, you were having a good dream?" Lollipop asks, trying to change the topic. "A nightmare actually" "of what?" "....the mask guy" of course. Lollipop thinks to herself, this mask guy made small enthusiastic positive Leafy all emo and sad.. and traumatized.. so, thinking she'd be okay after running into this guy is an over exaggeration.. she'd probably be dead. Dead like Four.

..

It was evening, and both Leafy and Lollipop haven't talked after the last conversation. Leafy's thinking to herself, in the driver's seat.. and Lollipop leaning onto the wall.. Lollipop's hoping the other two are on their way home by now. She's hungry. And she tends to get quite hangry without food.

..

*Crash
Something hits the bus's front window. Leafy immediately reclines with this, and crouches under the steering wheel- scared for her life. She's dumb, she should've covered the entire window with something.. before sitting down.. maybe Lollipop should've thought of that not her. She's-

..

*Crack
Another thing hits the window. This time leaving a crack on the window.. it was a rock, they were all rocks. Leafy shivers, as she leans onto the legs of the chair. She's done. She knew it. She's going to die. The thing that stared at her yesterday. The thing is going to kill her now..  the sun was setting, it was all planned out perfectly.. she's going to die. She's going to die. She's going to die. She's going to die..

..

Lollipop run towards the scared little leaf. The scared little lemon leaf who doesn't know what else to do but wait. Wait till he breaks in. Wait till she dies. Maybe. Maybe she should just open the door. Open the door and let the mask dude just kill her. Makes it easier.. but Lollipop.. would she like that? Would she like it if she..

..

*Slap

Leafy stares silently at the floor, what was that? She holds her cheek, it was sore. She looks at Lollipop, a panicked and relieved expression on her face. "Breath in and breathe out. Everything's okay." She says, for the first time for Leafy.. she doesn't hear a single hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Leafy starts panicking, why did she say that. Is everything really okay? Or was she lying? Was she lying? Did she also want to go open the door? "-Breath out.. breath in..... Breath out." Lollipop repeats, ignoring Leafy's hesitance to cooperate with her. What if he's here? Was it even a he?? He looks like a he? But it could also be a she- the door. The door was moving, it wants to be opened. The windows on the door was covered with paper, paper that they have taped on so the killer can't see them. But can't see now either.. wait didn't they put a little peephole in the paper. What if he's staring at her right now? What if he's staring at them??

"Breath in and breathe out. Everything's okay"
Why does she keep saying that? Everything is not okay. You want to bite her hand, she's holding your arm and you don't like it. She should get off. "Breathe in.. breathe out" shut up. Shut up.... "Breath in.. and out.." ...in and out. Breath in and out. Lollipop stares at the now calmed down Leafy, slightly calm.

"It's nobody. I'll show you." Lollipop gets up, as she walks towards the door. Don't. Don't go to the door. Don't leave Leafy all alone. Please. Please come back. What.. what if.. she has to calm down. She covers her eye as she continues to breath. Breath in and out. Breath in.. and breath out. Breath in.... And out.

..

"Oh my god, there you are we've been waiting for 10 minutes. What were you even doing??" A voice comes from the door, a familiar one.. a good sign.

Lollipop stares a bit in shock, she didn't expect someone to actually be there.. she thought she was going crazy..?? "Ten minutes?? Sorry dudes, didn't hear you!" Lollipop laughs, as she closes the bus door from behind- locking it like always. "That's a lie, we've been throwing rocks at the bus!" Flower exclaims, "I was starting to think you both died in there or something!!!"

After a while, Flower calms down and shows off the things she and Purple Face found. A few berries and some plums which was from a tree. Since there were only two objects, one having no frickin limbs. They could only bring that much back, but it was okay. It was food wasn't it?

"I also found a pond, a few steps deep.. maybe tomorrow we can bring some empty bottles there and see what we can do!" Purple Face suggests, everyone seems to agree on that. Flower walks towards the back, hoping to find a place to place her berries in, as Purple Face follows. Lollipop was going to follow to, until she felt a little punch on her arm.

"...thanks"
"Hm?"
Leafy walks off, a little satisfied smile on her face as Lollipop stares in confusion? Thanks? She did something? What did she do? Lollipop thinks a bit before shrugging.. "whatever.." she mumbles, as she makes her way towards the others.
