Chapter 5: A deal?

We were all frightened by the thought of facing her. She was too strong. Even if she couldn't kill us she was just too strong!.

Just then a creepy smile appeared on her face.

" Since you are all children I could make an exception, let's play"

' What does she mean by that?'

" It's simple if you are able to face my horrors then I would set you all free, I wouldn't be doing what I did to you guess it's gonna be something simple"

" What will it be?" I said

" I can't give further details of what will happen until you have agreed".

What does she really want us to do?. I can't really accept a deal by somebody who was killing us not long ago.

" Don't rush to accept it, take time to think it through. Meanwhile I will be in my house for now. If you finally make up your mind, come see me. Also your Tea might get cold". After saying that, she got off the table and walked into the house. Immediately we left a brief sigh together.

For a minute or two no one said anything. During that time, foot tapping and finger tapping could be heard from some of us. Even Mary's shaking could be heard along with the clicking of Beatrice teeth.

" We can't beat her " Beatrice said. Then Oliver and I slowly nodded with our heads pointing down.

" Then We wouldn't be going home anytime soon!! We might even Die in this place!" Mary cried out and started to sob. Slowing tears could be seen running down Beatrice's cheeks.

Looking at her now reminded me of my childhood friend.

"Beatrice! "

" Do you know me?" She asked

" Yes it's me Philip"

" Huh!?, So could that be Oliver?" Mary said, looking at Oliver. He just simply nodded with a smile. Mary cleaned her tears and smiled back.

" Why do you look like a kid!?"

" I have no Idea but, you too look really different".

The mood was getting calmer but there was still one person we didn't know. I looked at the big guy who was bald with big muscles. I remembered his name was Dave.

" So you are Dave from our School, the Big guy"

" Yeah you guessed it, I guess you two were the two boys at lunch today that the…."

" You guessed it!" I interrupted not wanting him to go any further about it.

" Why are we here anyway?. What did we do to her to make her trap us here?" Dave asked.

"I'm clueless just like everyone else. One minute I was sleep peacefully the next I'm here" I said

" The same was for me " Oliver said.

" Me too" Beatrice said followed by Mary

" Me as well"

" I hate to say this but… we have to agree with her" Dave said.

" What no we can't!" Mary shouted.

" We don't know what she wants with us or what the deal is!"

" I know but we don't know what to do now. Who knows maybe a monster might come chasing us again, just like she said we wouldn't die but the pain and…. We could go Psycho. You don't wanna wake up a Psycho do you?"

Mary stayed silent realizing what could happen. And a moment again everybody was silent.

During this time I had a glance at the tea.

" Did she say something about the tea?"

"I don't think she did all she said was it would get cold" Oliver said.

" I see". Looking at the tea, something was tempting me to drink it.

' I wouldn't die anyway' I thought to myself. Slowly I picked up the tea and everybody started to stare at me.

" What is he thinking?" Mary said, but I ignored it. I wanted to see what will happen.

The cup touched my lips and straight away I drank it. Everybody widened their mouths watching me drink it. For a sec or two I tasted nothing then it hit me in the throat. I left the cup falling to the floor and turned around to puke black substances. It looked gooey but it was covered by something else, pee.

' Dawn it tastes like Pee'

" Oh I almost forgot to mention the tea was made from a special fluid In my Body" Ruby said, opening the door and sticking her head out.

' How crazy is this Bitch! It tasted so Bad, very bad'. I wiped the substance from my month and turned around to find everyone staring back at me.

" Hey, what are y'all looking at?"

Slowing Beatrice pointed to my puke but instead of an actual puke it was a black gooey substance. It looked almost thick and had a dome shade but, worst of all, it was breathing. Panicking, I moved back to the others who were also frightened by the look of the thing.

Slowly it started to get Bigger, the sound of a growling could be heard and soon it was revealed. A black gooey monster big and tall with a surface of a floating fluid. It's eyes were bumped and it had no mouth.

Everyone's eyes were widened and some even had an open mouth.

The monster stretched a small part of its body towards me. It had no special shape, just a round surface at the end. It went straight to my shoulder and immediately it started to move down to my finger tip, my whole right arm was covered. Soon after, the part of its body went back into itself.

Instantly everybody gasped. I felt a pain rising from my right side. I tried to touch it but there was nothing. I turned and widened my Eyes at the site. My Right arm was completely gone, suddenly blood sprayed from the wound.

" AGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Mary screamed, and with that everybody knew we had to run.

" Into the house!" Dave said. Everyone made their way to the house including me.

The monster was slow in movement and was eating anything in its path. It went through the table and the table was no more. Anything that it touches will be gone, just like what it did with my Arm.

" I thought I told you not to drink it" Beatrice shouted while we ran. Soon we got in the house and locked the door. Just then a big thud was heard signifying that it had hit the door. Slowly it looked like it was going break through, quickly Dave and I rushed to hold it back but I was too strong.

Ruby appeared out of nowhere wearing a maid dress and started dusting the furnitures around the place.

" Ruby Please help!" I said.

" I'm afraid I can't do that, " she said. In a way it sounded like she was singing.

" unless you have accepted the deal"

Suddenly little parts of the monster were getting through the tiny holes in the door. They move from the back of Dave and I to our necks. The girls were shaking and Oliver too.

" Fine we accept!" I said

" You don't judge for everyone here"

" I accept!" Dave said. At this point the little piece were climbing up to our eyes and ears

" Me too" followed by Beatrice then Mary " Me as well"

" Fine me too " Oliver finally concluded.

" Alright, a deal is a deal!" Ruby said with a freaky smile and clapped twice. Instantly a bang sound was heard and the monster was no more. Dave and I lean against the door panting like we just ran a marathon. We both opened the door a little to see what happened to it.

The gooey Minster was Splattered on the floor and was vaporizing.

' all of this with only 2 claps' I thought.

I turned around to look at who we just made the deal with and she was smiling with red beaming eyes.

" Shall we begin?".
