Chapter 13: Scares, scares, and more scares (Arc 2)

Gabby's POV

We kept trekking the dark forest for a little while. I was scared. No, not scared, terrified. I jus wanted to go back to Central, where it was safe, and there was light there. I hate, HATE, the dark. I have my fair share of fears, but the dark hits me the most, especially when I'm alone. At least I'm not alone, I'm with my twin sister and my friends. I flinched when I heard an owl hooting and whipped my head around, trying to find the damn owl.

"Awe, someone scared?" Ulric said, smirking.

"At least I'll admit it. Unlike you." I said.

"Ha, me, scared? As if." Ulric stated. I yelped when I heard a tree branch snap.

"What was that?!" I said nervously.

"I didn't hear anything, grow up." Ulric said. Geez, is this guy gonna be a friend or a jerk? Just pick already. I sighed. Crona shuffled closer to me. 

"I-I don't like at a-all." he stuttered.

"Same here bud. Hey, I know this place is suppose to be haunted, but is it actually dangerous? Cause that's a whole different thing." I said.

"How should I know?" Ryuga said. I pouted.

"Jackass.." I muttered. Ryuga shot me a threatening  look.

"What was that?" he asked. 

"Nothing nothing!" I said panicked. Ryuga nodded and kept moving. I sighed in relief. As we moved along I heard footsteps. I froze.

"What was that?" I said nervously.

"Ugh not this again." Ryuga groaned.

"I'm serious, I heard something." I stated.

"Ignore it and keep moving." Ryuga said. I tried but I heard them again.

"There it is again. I swear I keep hearing footsteps." I stated. Ryuga growled in annoyance.

" W-What kind of f-footsteps?" Crona stuttered.

"I don't know." I said. My wolf ears popped up and I listened closely.

"What the? Since when can you do that?" Ulric asked. I froze when the footsteps got louder. Ulric's ears perked up too.

"Okay I heard that." he said.

"Keep moving." Ryuga said through gritted teeth. I looked around the woods for something, anything. Then my eyes widened when I saw a pair of glowing red eyes. I gulped and backed up.

"O-Over there." I stuttered. Everyone looked at what I was pointing at. We could all see them.

"Oooh, is that an animal?" Alex said. I backed up, my tail between my legs.

"Maybe we should keep going." I said quickly.

"That's what I kept saying!" Ryuga snapped. Suddenly a loud shriek filled the air and we all yelped. Suddenly the eyes came closer, showing a black misty monster. We all froze. It smiled, showing its razor sharp teeth. We all screamed and ran for it. The monster ran after us. I didn't pay attention much to anything else. I only focused on getting away. Soon we slowed down and breathed deeply. The monster had disappeared.

"Is it gone? Pleeeeeeeease tell me its gone?!" I begged.

"I believe so." Izaya said, panting hard from the running.

"Awe, that was so much fun." Alex whined.

"ALEX! SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" I snapped. Ulric chuckled.

"Man was someone scared-"

"Oh don't give me that crap! You we're just as scared as I was! ALL OF YOU WERE!" I snapped.

"Was not!" Ryuga and Ulric roared.

"Oh yes you we're!" I stated,stomping over to them.

"Don't you dare deny it!" I snapped.

"Watch your tongue there kid!" Ryuga hissed. I stormed off near a dark bush.

"You know what, I don't care at this point! I don't care how mad you get, I just wanna get the damn sword and lea-" A black tentacle wrapped around my mouth, shutting me up. I screamed as more wrapped around my arms and legs, causing me to fall over. The others quickly came over to me and tried to get me free. Whatever had me tried to pull me away. I screamed.

"Help! Don't let it drag me away!" I screamed, but my voice was muffled over the tentacle. I was squirming everywhere, trying to get away.

"Dammit hold still, and we'll get you out." Ulric said. Some of the creatures body appeared from behind me. It had a large beak, and three red glowing eyes. It screeched loudly, causing everyone to scream. The creature let me go and disappeared into the darkness. The moment I was free I grabbed onto Ulric's arm and trembled.

"You okay Gabby?" Alex asked.

"W-What was that?! What the hell was that?!" I stuttered.

"I'm not sure. I've been in this forest only one other time, and I never ran into anything like these." Ryuga said.

"I hate this place so much." I said. Ulric chuckled. I glared at him.

"What's so funny?! I could've die!" I stated.

"Oh nothing, just wondering how long until you let me go." Ulric replied with an amused smirk. I was confused until I saw I was squeezing onto his arm for dear life. I blushed a bright shade of red and let him go, backing up.

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! M-My bad." I stuttered.

"Whatever its fine. At least your okay." Ulric replied. I blushed brighter. Why did I do that?! I'm such a god damn idiot! Dammit, dammit, dammit!

"C-Can we please k-keep moving?" Crona asked.

"Yes, perhaps we should keep going so we don't run into any other (clears throat) visitors." Izaya said. I nodded in agreement. We quickly kept moving. Now everyone was looking around nervously, me especially. I didn't feel very safe.

"We get the sword and get out. Get the sword, get out. Get the sword, get out. Get the sword, get out." I muttered over and over. Alex looked over and saw something sparkly. She beamed and ran towards it.

"SHINY!" she chimed.

"Alex wait!" Ryuga snapped. He and the rest of us followed. Alex jumped over a pile of leaves and reached the shiny. However, Ryuga and Crona ran straight into it, falling into a pit. Ryuga quickly grabbed the edge with one hand and caught the back of Crona's robe with the other.

"Ryuga!" Alex said. Ryuga struggled to get up.

"Dammit." he muttered.

"Hang on guys, we'll get you out." I said. Izaya and I leaned over and grabbed Ryuga's hand. We froze when we heard scuttering.

"Uh, what was that?" I asked nervously. Many small beady red eyes spotted us. Soon a buch of baby scorpions crawled onto the sides of the pit. Crona and I screamed.

"Pull us out! Pull us out!" Crona screamed.

"Quickly!" Ryuga added, eyes surprisingly filled with fear. Izaya and I used our combined strength to pull them out. Then just as the scorpions started to come out, we bolted away. Once we we're at a safe distance we all sighed.

"Dude, this sword better be worth it." Ulric stated.

"I just don't understand, I was here before. Nothing like this happened! Nothing! It was actually boring!" Ryuga said, a little panicked.

"Well right now I wish it was boring!" I said. Even Izaya had lost his cool a bit ago and was really uneasy.

"For once, I agree." he said.

"I'm having the time of my life!" Alex beamed.

"What was that shiny you found?" Crona asked.

"Oh it was this." Alex said, holding up a bit of tin foil.

"REALLY?!" we all shouted.

"Its just weird, I don't sense any of these creatures souls." Crona said.

"Whatever I don't care! Lets just get the sword and leave." Ulric stated. We all nodded in agreement and kept moving.

Author's POV

Envy and Monokuma were still moving, not far behind the others. Envy was actually quite nervous, because he kept hearing screams from time to time, which he didn't know it was the twins and their friends. Monokuma said to ignore it, but he was nervous as well.

"Are we close to that sword? I don't want to be here much longer. And I like spooky stuff like this." Envy said.

"I don't know so don't ask!" Monokuma asked. Envy frowned. He hated that damn bear. He was mean, bossy, and never did shut up, especially when he screwed up.

"I'm getting hungry." Envy whined.

"Oh cry me a river. Shut up and keep moving." Monokuma snapped. Envy sighed and looked away, until he spotted a small berry on a bush. He smiled and went over to it.

"Alright, something to snack on." he said. Envy reached out for the fruit, but then a vine wrapped around his arm. Envy yelped and tried to pull it off.

"What the hell? It won't let go." he said. Monokuma looked over at him.

"What did you do now?!" he snapped.

"I just tried to grab this fruit and-" they both froze at the sound of a roar. Behind the bush, a bigger fruit with big yellow eyes opened its jaws and roared. Envy and Monokuma screamed. Envy pulled away finally and the two of them ran off. The monster giggled and took off its mask, revealing Magane. Then she laughed her ass off.

"Hahahahahaah! Oh this is so much fun!" she cried. She looked at her backpack, filled with costumes, robots, and recored sounds. She picked up one of her robotic scorpions and giggled.

"This one is my favorite so far, making that stubborn dragon boy actually scared." she said. She picked up one of the fake tentacles, feeling the sticky goo she used for effect.

 "Oooh, but the way Gabby looked when she felt these. Tehehehehe, its too much!" she cried. She fell onto the ground and laughed her ass off. Eventually Magane sat up and wiped her tears away.

"Ahhh, sadly though, it will end soon." she said. She held up her next toy, grinning ear to ear.

"But not yet." she added. Suddenly she heard a tree branch snap and looked around. She shrugged and went to catch up with the others.

What she didn't know, was that there was something watching them. All of them.
