The air was still dark and musty, filled with props and costumes hiding sinister secrets, as if like me, it was also waiting for the clock to strike midnight and summon me to do my dare.I try to calm my nerves, but dread fills my stomach like lead.I agreed to this dare, this macabre stunt to prove myself just earlier, believing doing a dare was much easier for me to blabber a truth that's part of my past.

Such a show-off..."I sit alone at my usual table in the school cafeteria, slowly picking at my food while hearing those murmurs in the grapevine. Yet, above all, I remained my calm and just situated myself from observing the sea of hands around me. I then see groups of friends laughing together, and students eating their foods or reading away, flipping pages through their book. But damned fight on me, I knew underneath their cheerful facade, a sinister secret of the midnight game lingers.

Now, the repercussions of my dark game had come for me, as it was also wrapped in that bloodstained bandage on Killian's pinkie fingers.I know at once that he is the one who suffered my dare, the one I never thought he would accept. Regret washes over me as I realize the pain I must have caused him, the scars I have left, both visible and invisible. He stops a few feet away, his expression unreadable yet his eyes revealing a hint of misery. The silence stretches between us, thick with tension. I open my mouth to speak, as if to apologize, but the words die on my lips as he turns and walks away, vanishing once more into the trees, leaving me alone with my unknown guilt

The dim lighting and cobwebs hanging from the chandeliers gave the place a musty old feel that hinted at secrets untold. As my boots stepped into the unknown grounds full of dimly lit candles, the carpet crunched underfoot as if made of dead leaves rather than fabric, and my perceptions suddenly became blurry as it gave a glow that disrupts my mind. And so, I walked in cautiously, Killian followed behind, closing the door with a creak and plunging us into near darkness but for a few candles flickering here and there, "Please make yourself at home," he said with a grin that seemed to hold more glee and mirth.When we grazed around the foyer, I was immediately greeted with few table

My mind raced with questions, though I knew better than to speak them aloud. I simply nodded for Killian to go on, dreading yet desperate to hear the full truth of how my darkest night had come to pass. He leaned in closer, his voice dropping even lower, "What I'm about to tell you stays between us, understand?" I nodded once more, bracing myself for the sinister tale I felt sure to come.I steeled myself for how many times of today, wondering how our lighthearted banter from mere minutes ago could so quickly give way to this ominous revelation. But as I waited for Killian to continue, a sense of foreboding

I stared at their faces, searching for any sign of emotions, but found only blank innocence staring back. Their expressions remained neutral, yet a slight tension hung in the air. My hands curled into fists as questions swirled in my mind. What dark secrets had they kept from me all this time? What vile tricks and manipulations had they employed to aid my sinister cause?Those question burned within me, demanding an answer that they remained reluctant to provide. Suspicion crept into my thoughts, dimming the warmth of our friendship and filling the silence with unease.Damn, I knew they

A warm adrenaline ran down my spine at the thought of what lay ahead. The competition seemed innocent enough on the surface, but I had learned by now that nothing was ever as it seemed within these ivy-covered walls.It was insane how I had just arrived at this strange school a few weeks ago, unaware of the sinister secrets it held.
