It was a beautiful clear day, a number of our characters were gathered together underneath the shelter of some trees, an emerald glow cast over them in as the sun reached it's zenith. They talked amongst themselves, lounging on the furniture outside. It's been about two weeks since Zali had joined them, and it feels like the boys were slowly becoming less and less interested; it was mainly because she always seemed to be somewhat drunk and act in a stupid way, there was also the fact that she didn't seem interested in any of their advances but of course they would never admit to that. 

Cyn and Jeff had just ran in. dripping wet, Masky stopping the stopwatch in his hand as he looked at them with amusement twinkling in his eyes. 

"That took you thirty minutes." He said, laughing at the fact. 

Jeff just grunted stripping his hoodie off to expose more of his pale skin, "hey I didn't ask to be partnered with the trash over here."

"And no one asked for you to take your shirt off." Retorted Cyn, squeezing the water out of her hair. She cast a glare at Jeff who just smirked in return. 

"Am I making you uncomfortable, princess?" 

She rolled her eyes walking away from him. Puppet smirked and took off his jacket offering it to her to which she declined. She then grabbed her phone off of EJ and proceeded to delve into some work.

"Alright, who's next?" Asked Masky looking at his friends. They all just shrugged, them not knowing really. It was probably because the more competitive ones had jumped up to go first- them being Jeff, Cyn, Toby and Neon. 

EJ sighed, deciding that he'll go. "We can go." He pointed to himself and Ben. 

"Wait what?! Are you crazy?" Demanded Ben, turning to look at him with his eyes wide. 

"Yes, let's go." EJ stood up and walked over to the start of the obstacle course getting prepared, he turned to look over at Ben waiting for him to get over there. 

"But there's water!" 

"So?" 

"I'm going to drown." 

Jeff rolled his eyes, "Ben you're over thinking it. Just go." 

"I don't want to drown!" 

"EJ isn't going to let you drown." Spoke Neon, trying to settle his nerves. She offered him a gentle smile before looking over at EJ. "Right EJ?"

"Yeah. Ben, let's just go now. You're wasting everyone's time." 

After moments of more bickering Ben finally gave up his fight and stood beside EJ. It really didn't take him a lot to reconsider it, just some words from Bree that seemed to be enough. 

"Alright," spoke Masky, thumb hovering over the button, "ready... Set.... Go!" Their time started, Ben and EJ sprinting over to the first obstacle which was a field of tires. 

The group watched them trying to get through it and the ones that followed after, however they soon got bored when the pair began to lose their speed as Ben decided to freak out over the water obstacles. 

'So uh Jeff." Said Neon, looking at him up and down. "Are you... You know going to put that hoodie back on?" 

His smirk grew even more alongside his ego, "what? liking what you see?" He purred. 

"No I just thought you were going to get a cold." 

This caused his facial expression to drop, laughter erupting all around him at the comment. 

"Hey Jeff want my jacket then?" Offered Puppet. 

He pursed his lips and snapped, "fuck off Puppet!" The comment really didn't have much of an effect on the poltergeist, only making him to laugh more. Surprisingly though Jeff's bad mood only lasted a second before he made another comment.

"Hey Cyn, why don't you take your shirt off? You'll dry quicker~" 

"Jeff I will snap your neck and use your vocal chords for a magic trick, you are not going to see me here shirtless." 

"We'll still see your tits through that shirt though." 

"I'm wearing a sports bra, you're not going to see shit."

Zali awkwardly raised her hand, a question on the tip of her tongue, "are you guys together or something?" 

"Why does everyone think that?! No! We are not together!" They both snapped simultaneously, glaring at Zali who doesn't seem to be all that bothered. 

More bicker erupted from the group, laughter throwing into the mix as everyone was just having a good time not seeming to have a single care in the world. Something that was quite true in reality, they were killers after all- in retrospect they have no other care but themselves and even some of them don't really care about that either. 

Unfortunately the day would soon take a turn for the worse. 

Ben and EJ  finally completed the course, Masky feeding them the time that they managed to achieve. But before they could continue their little competition, a haunting howl broke through their merriment, catchinmg ahold of their attention.

They all turned to look at the edge of the forest, gripping their weapons as five black wolves slowly peeled themselves from the shadows.Their fur was dark and wispy, eyes red as blood. They bared their fangs at the group, drool dripping onto the forest floor as they slowly prowled around them.

"Shadow Wolves." Muttered Puppet, his strings flooding out from his fingers. 

LJ grinned with joy, his eyes seeming to darken with excitement, now was the time to show them. Show them he could take them. 

Bree's face paled, her eyes flickering from one wolf to the other as her body locked up in fear.

"They're looking at me." She whimpered, seeing the hungry look they were giving her. "Th- they're looking ri- right at me." 

"Bree, just take deep breathes." Said Masky, eyes not tearing away from the demonic animals. 

No sooner did the words leave his mouth did wolves make their attack, about to pounce onto poor Bree but luckily for her Ben intercepted. A sword materializing in his hand as he cut down the beast where it stood. And with his intervention, LJ immediately rushed in with a crazed laugh spilling from his lips and a large axe swinging in his hand.

"Bree you need to get out of here!" Panted Ben, completely surprised that that just worked. 

"But I c- can't just l- lea-" 

"Just go!" He yelled, rushing into the fray. Bree shut her mouth and bit her lip, hating it. She then turned heel and ran, quickly disappearing into the thicket. 

The best course of action was to get back to the mansion, but better to get there through the dense forest where it may be harder to get her scent. And so she ran on, trying to go as fast as her little legs could carry her. 

The light darkened the deeper she got, trees growing close, roots snaking out getting larger and tripping her up as she tried to get herself to safety. But it wasn't meant to be, the snarls of a wolf cut through the ambience of the forest and the next thing she knew she was knocked to the ground, her glasses flying off her face landing aways from her.

She began to gasp in her out, fear grasping her heart as she desperately tried to crawl, to try and make her escape.  But the wolf kept her in place, it's weight unyielding

"No, no." She whispered, frantically clawing at the ground. "I can't die here. I can't die here." 

Meanwhile the Creepypastas were running from their lives- trying to reach the safety of the mansion. Ben was gripping his arm where a set of scratches peaked through, the cost of him escaping one of those wolves. He ran on though e was beginning to feel light headed with all of the pain and blood loss. Jeff noticed this so he ran towards his friend and threw him over his shoulder not slowing down in the slightest. 

"Do you guys know how to get rid of these things?" He yelled. 

"Nope!" Replied Toby glancing behind him to see that the wolves were getting closer and closer to the already spread out group. At the front was Neon and Masky- their speed doing them well in this situation, a bit behind was EJ, Jeff and Cyn- those three trying to keep up. Behind them was Puppet and LJ, a cut on his cheek making his black blood drizzle out, lucky for him he wasn't under a lot of pain. Then there was just Toby, Hoodie and Zali bringing up the rear. Zali was continuously tripping over herself, her intoxicated state hindering her. She would have been an easy kill, so easy that it surprised Toby when the wolf took down dear Hoodie. A loud cry of surprise came from him- being taken down so easily and quickly. 

Instantly Toby drew out his hatchet from his side- the blade glimmering in the light. He raised his arm and threw it at the beast, knowing well that it would dig into the beast and hopefully injure it. However all it did was let out a howl, whether it was injured or not remained unknown to Toby, but he didn't have time to think about that for the wolf was turning onto him now.

"Crap." He muttered, trying to think of a way out of this one. He didn't need to though, a loud whistle sound alongside two shots which made everyone's attention to turn and look a Masky. Instead of being positioned at the front of the pack, he was slightly away from them, a silver revolver in hand and deadly look in his eyes. 

"Masky what are you doing?" Shouted out Neon, shocked. She didn't notice him running off. 

"Just go!" He commanded. "I'll lead them off." 

"But what about you?" Grunted out Puppet. 

"I'll be fine!" And with those being his departed words he turned and run, letting out a another bullet at the wolves which then changed the focus to Masky. They chased after the bolting figure, wanting desperately to sink their fangs into him. Everyone else returned to focus on the journey to their home- LJ collapsing as soon as he entered. 

Neon looked around, her heart clenching in fear and anxiety streaming through her veins. Something wasn't right... Something was missing. She scanned the area, her chest rising and falling heavily as she tried to get the air back into her lungs. 

"Hey guys.." She panted. "Where's Bree?"
