Chloe dies...

The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension, a palpable fear that hung over the group like a storm cloud.

The only sound was the soft hum of the television, which suddenly flickered to life, drawing everyone's attention. The screen displayed a chilling message.

"Reading" Dare: Jump off the roof, and you have exactly 5 minutes to do it.

Chloe's face drained of color as she read the words aloud. "What..." she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Natalie was the first to react, her voice sharp with panic. "This is insane! She could die if she jumps from the roof."

Ethan shook his head, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Dude, this is too much."

Jake stepped forward, his tone firm. "We can't let her do this. What if she dies?"

Ava, trying to maintain calm, raised her hands. "Guys, listen—"

But Noah was already moving towards the door. "You're right. Let's get out of here."

"This place is a nightmare," Lily muttered, her voice trembling.

The room exploded into a cacophony of voices, everyone insisting that Chloe shouldn't go through with the dare. But Chloe's voice, filled with desperation, cut through the chaos.

"GUYS, SHUT UP! Do you think I have a choice? If I don't do this, I will die..."

Natalie's eyes filled with tears. "Well yeah, if you do this, you might still die..."

Ava's mind raced as she tried to think of a solution. "No, she won't die. I have a plan. Wait here." She sprinted towards the storeroom, leaving everyone in a state of confusion. Moments later, she returned, a coil of rope in her hands.

"If we tie her with this, then when she jumps, we can catch her using the rope," Ava explained breathlessly.

Everyone stared at her, astonished by the simplicity and brilliance of the idea.

Chloe's eyes lit up with hope as she hugged Ava. "Oh my gosh, you're a genius."

"Yup, she is," Noah agreed, nodding.

Ava glanced at the clock. "Okay, we can't waste any time. We only have four minutes left."

"Yeah, let's go," Lily urged.

.....

Fools....do you think the one behind all this is a fool?? Huhhh?

His ultimate goal is to kill you...he is just playing with you....

Why do you think you can outsmart a ghost?

Well...i am watcher , i can do nothing but just watch the story unfolding...

.....

They raced towards the rooftop, hearts pounding. Noah quickly tied the rope around Chloe's waist, making sure it was secure. He and Ethan gripped the other end tightly.

Ava faced Chloe, her expression serious. "Okay, at the count of three, you will jump."

Chloe nodded, her face pale but determined. "Okay."

Ava began the countdown, her voice steady despite the tension. "One... Two... And..."

The air was thick with anticipation. "Three!"

Chloe leaped from the rooftop. As she jumped, her foot slipped on the edge, causing her to roll off. The sudden movement loosened the knot around her waist, and the rope slipped free. Time seemed to slow as she plummeted towards the ground.

"CHLOE, NO!" Natalie screamed, her voice echoing in the night.

The sound of Chloe hitting the ground was a sickening thud that silenced everyone. For a moment, no one moved. Then, with trembling hands, Ava approached the edge and peered down. Chloe lay motionless, her body crumpled on the cold, hard ground.

Ava's breath caught in her throat. Chloe was dead.

.....

I already told you....

You can't outsmart a ghost this easily...

And when he is watching your every move??

Love....

She had a chance without a rope...

But...She is dead...

.....

A letter appeared on the wall, written in what looked like blood: "You Die If You Cheat."

Time skipped...

The hospital was eerily quiet as Chloe's body was wheeled into the morgue. Ava and Lily sat in a small, sterile room, desperately trying to explain the situation to the police. But their pleas fell on deaf ears.

"They think we're lying," Ava sighed, frustration etched on her face. "They think we're just making up a story."

"So you're saying they aren't listening to you," Natalie said, her voice hollow.

"They're going to rule it as an accident," Lily added, shaking her head.

Natalie's eyes blazed with anger. "So everything that happened was an accident? What about Noah and Jake? And for God's sake, Chloe is dead!"

"Do you think people will believe us?" Ava's voice broke.

"That we were playing Truth or Dare, which turned into a real game? And now some evil spirit is forcing us to do horrible things that we can't refuse? If we refuse, we die. It just doesn't make any sense."

Jake, his face bruised and bandaged, leaned back in his chair. "So that's it. They're not going to do anything."

"They're saying we were drunk, which we weren't, and that things got out of control, leading to someone's death," Lily said, her voice tinged with disbelief.

Noah let out a bitter laugh. "Great."

"What do we even expect from these people?" Lily asked, her voice soft.

They all fell silent, the weight of the night's events settling heavily on their shoulders....
