Escape

I stumbled out of the mansion into the rain , Others followed me , we left the body of victor behind because he would be a dead weight to use , Running through the rain , there's only one thing on our mind, to get far away from the house.

"Quick, run faster" Isaac yelled at Julian who was lagging behind.

"I—I can't run anymore" Julian replied tears streaming out of his eyes, Julie went back to help him, and we started moving through the forest, I could feel something following us, But can't pinpoint the exact location nor did I know what it was.

Eventually we broke out of the forest into the main road, our bus stood still where we parked it.

"James get the car started and drive us home" Isaac yelled. James moved swiftly, Like a ninja , he arrived in front of the car and started the engine, the car is already performing a burnout by the time we arrived , we scrambled inside the car, and not even a second later after closing the door , something crashed into the bus.

I looked around but couldn't find anything , The bus moved and James accelerated the bus down the highway, drifting through cars and turning around sharp corners without slowing down a bit.

"Please , I don't want to die" Julian said.

Julian looked around and eventually his gaze landed on me, his face paled and he started to mumble to himself.

"Julian?" I called him but he just kept looking at me.

"Truth!" Julian yelled

we all looked at each other in disbelief

"Julian what's wrong?" I asked 

"Hey brother?, What's wrong?" Julie asked

"Ha , ha" Julian breath heavily and some colors returned to his face, "I have something to tell you guys" Julian said , then he paused for a second or two before speaking again, "James didn't sexually assault Anna, I was there that night, I was with James throughout that night, and It was planned by Anna and Victor because they didn't like James, Victor was jealous that James and Olivia were dating so he Framed him so as to separate him from Olivia" 

"W-What did you mean Victor? " Isaac asked his eyes wide, I could not also believe what I was hearing , James was framed? it just doesn't make any sense, there are many evidence against him.

"What about the evidence?" Isaac said , he looked at me, "Olivia even testified that day , she said James is the type to do such a thing" He added.

"That's all I know" Julian said , he looked at me again 

"Olivia!"

"W—what?" I replied , Isaac face now had a smile on it, every sense or expression of fear on his face already varnished, his smile widened then he eventually spoke:

"Truth or Dare?" he asked then he added : "You only have an option left, and that is to choose a Dare, since your friends has chosen Truth twice"

"Olivia what's wrong?" Nora asked 

My heart started to beat faster, why would he want me to choose dare?

"Tick Tock Olivia, You are running out of time!" Isaac added 

 "D—Dare"

"What's your deepest, darkest secret?" He asked 

'Oh crap!'

'If I don't do this I would die'

"Hey Olivia what happened?" Isaac asked

"Fuu!" Taking a deep breath I steadied my nerves. I eventually said :"N—Nora, there's something I need to tell you"

Nora frowned slightly , tears screamed down her eyes , she looked at me and moved near me, she held my hands and squeezed it tightly.

"When we were in Isaac's parent mansion when we were five, I played with a car that was packed behind the mansion" I paused for a while , tears started to stream down from my face, the secret I'm about to reveal will end our friendship but I had to choose it's either my life or our friendship , I continued: "so I wanted to see what would happen to a car if it was set on fire, so I got some gasoline and poured it on the car, I then set it on fire, I didn't know it was your parent's car neither did I know your little sister was in the car.

"I'm sorry" 

Nora dropped my hands Immediately, "D—Did you know that incident also caused my parent several problems, m-my mum died blaming herself for not being able to protect my little sister" 

"How could you!" Nora yelled at me , Her eyes were now red, I tried to move close to her, but she backed away.

"D—Don't come near me ,you murderer" Nora yelled at me, my heart dropped , Nora has never been like this , since the death of her sister , she had always tried to stay strong for her family, and I caused the pain she had to go through of losing her little sister and her mother at a young age.

"I'm truly sorry" I said.

"Don't beg me, You wreaked my family" Nora yelled , Isaac moved closer to her then hugged her , Nora tried pushing him away but , he held her tight.

"I'm sorry" Isaac said

"You don't understand , My mother died thinking it's her fault that my sister died" Nora said

"As if that was not enough , My father didn't pay me any attention, he had to distract himself with something , I understand that he thinks I'm a kid and won't really understand what's happening"

"As if that was not also enough, My dad now suffers from depression , all because of that incident, How are you expecting me to react when I found out that my friend ruined my family?" Nora asked tears streaming down from her eyes.

Because of the guilt , I had to stay with Nora to comfort her, I had to become her best friend and a sister to her, seeing her cry hurt me so badly that I felt like dying is better.

The car drifted around a corner and we entered a familiar street, Isaac Parent Mansion stood in the distance, but something is strange about the atmosphere surrounding the house.

I'm starting to have a feeling that something bad might happen.
