With the sweet right before us on a table, we all were just around, staring at it, thinking of what we're to do with it.
“ Just smash it like before, we shouldn't just sit back and be watching, we should do something or else another one of us will end up as the victim......”
Blake argued, everyone seem to be nodding their heads in agreement. That's just all they do, agree with any idea that pops up without further thinking about it, do they think that we can just carry out a required move without further thinking about it and it will become a success?. This is not something we can just jump into conclusion and it will turn out right, we need to go through processes to make sure we're not going to make mistakes.
“ So you guys think that we can just smash this and the second ritual would be complete?, do you think Death is that dumb?....”
Ivan argued with them, much more like he was inside my mind thinking the same thing. I just shut my mouth up, relaxing my back on my seat, listening to them, yet my mind also elsewhere, thinking about the last happy moment I had with Adam yesterday. Had I know that it would be our last moment together, had I know this would be our last fun time around each other, I really messed up, it's more like I was asleep, not sensing the danger lurking around.
“ Bruno!...”
I jumped out of my thoughts, looking around to see who's calling me, turns out everyone of them was looking at me, seems like they've been calling me for a while, but my mind was elsewhere.
“ What's your opinion on this?.... You've been the one leading us through this, what do you say we should do?....”
Kendall asked, every eyes still on me, waiting for my opinion on this. I just looked down, my mind foggy, not knowing what to really say about this because I've never really thought of what to do next. Smashing it is a no brainer decision, Death isn't actually that dumb, she's well aware that we're to try this again, looking from how games are and their levels, the higher you go, the tougher it gets, I believe right now, dumb ideas won't work anymore, it's more like easy, normal and hard, if we're in a category now, it's a normal, something that definitely involves some thinking.
“ I think battling about this sweet is a waste of time, I don't believe this sweet has the key to the second ritual, it's a total waste of thoughts thinking on what to do with it....”
I gave my opinion, just like I expected, they just look away from me like I was talking out of sense, they're definitely asking themselves whether we've any other thing in common with Death apart from the sweet, they might as well be forgetting that I'm always present there in Death's lare, but I never licked the sweet.
They were still bothering and thinking about what to do, but I wasn't much with them, I was cracking my mind on something else, what can Death do?, what game can she play?, what can she be up to?.
I never answered that question, even when I got home, I was still thinking, I was still trying hard to solve the puzzle. If I'm not quick with finding a solution, then someone else is definitely losing his or her life tonight, and I pray it's not me, but someone must.
The time for judgement was here again, the time one of us is to be slaughtered in cold blood without any opportunity to defend. Tied to my spot, my heartbeat was beating hard and fast, I've this feeling I'm definitely not going to be tonight's victim, but from tomorrow, looking from Death's threat and her moves on trying to pick me lately, I believe my turn is just around the corner, the question now is when?.
“ Happy Death Day....”
“ Noooooo!!!!!.....”
I screamed, fear gripping me, watching my buddy being taken away while he just followed without any act of fighting off. I can't contain all the feelings washing through me, loosing two friends in two different nights, I can't hold back the tears an pain, Adam is gone, now it's Adrian, he has been picked too and all I can do was watch because I can't save him. The sound of his screams coming from the room serves as a huge catalyst for putting me under too much pressure and thoughts, oh God.... What is all this?, My friends are being taken away and I've no power to save him, I've already lost one, now I'm about loosing the next.
I found myself awoke in the morning, crying in reality after I have been crying inside my dream, I was just lying down on my bed speechless and heartbroken, I couldn't save my friends, how can I even save the others?.
My parents came into my room, a breath of relief leaving their lungs after realizing that I am well and alive, but for me, I only know one feeling right now, depression. I've tried staying in the right mind, trying to solve the puzzle on how to handle this gruesome memories with my friends supporting me emotionally, but now, now they're being taken away from me and there's no chance I can do anything about it.
No matter how I am feeling, no matter how depressed I am, I'll still be going to that school, I know that I have lost all hope, but staying back home would be killing myself before my time and doing that, how would my parents feel?.
I already knew that at this point, I've no much time to spend with them, with my day fast approaching, I guess I have only one thing to do, something I never did when I lost both Adam and Adrian, enjoying their presence.
