Day 6-Acid

Imma use me

My friends and I crept through the warehouse.

"Guys, this is stupid," Aurora whispered.

You are so freakin right, I thought.

But aloud I said: "Don't be a baby, this is cool."

"Why are we doing this, again?" Ellie asked.

"A dare," Julie said.

"It's just a dare, guys," Justin whispered. "We don't have to do it."

"We'll make it through," I muttered back. "I will not dishonor myself."

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Alright, Shakespeare, let's head back," Justin said.

I let go of Aurora's hand and folded my arms.

"They said all the way through."

"Well, we're leaving," Julie said.

"But I want to go on!" I huffed.

"Well, then, go on," Emma said.

They all started to walk back to the entrance.

I huffed again and took off running through the warehouse boxes. After a bit I stopped to see if they had really left me. I couldn't hear or see anyone, I sighed and decided to go back but then realized I was lost.

Then I heard footsteps.

Relief washed over me.

"Guys?"

And then she rounded the corner.

"Need help?"

"P-Peanut Butter!" I gasped.

"Are you lost, Shakespeare?" She smiled, her messed up makeup freaking me out.

"No- no, I'm fine."

She looked at me, her grin fixed on her face.

"Liar. I'll help you out."

I hesitated. It was my only option. I swallowed and nodded.

She smirked and began to walk away. I noticed her orange jumpsuit and melted spots in it and I wondered where she had gotten them.

I followed her but she was walking fast. In a few moments I had lost her.

"Peanut Butter!" I called. "Where are you?"

"Keep walking, Shakespeare," her voice lulled somewhere ahead of me. It freaked me out the way she talked, her voice lulling up and down as if she was singing.

I rounded a corner and slipped. I sat up and pain registered. I screeched and stumbled up to my feet. There was a black liquid spilled all over the ground. Acid.

Peanut Butter appeared as my skin melted away and I started bleeding. She giggled.

"Peanut Butter!" I screeched. "H-help!"

She laughed and sipped some acid from a cup. She then threw it in my face.

I screamed, falling on my knees.

Pain, pain, pain. Agony.

I heard my friends yelling my name but it was too late. Everything faded to a painful black and I slipped into the fog of my mind.

Peanut Butter might be a regular. I use her to tease my friends. Or is this Peanut Butter? 🤡
