"In alliance today, we decide to do a little game of truth and dare in order to help soothe the grimacing pain of our rebellion against each other," says Arzhel's voice sweetly to our enemies. However, the real reason, which only I and him knew, was far more hate than the friendliness shown.
I sit in a corner with my knees hugged to my chest knowing far well what this was about, i was always way smarter than what i show and thus Arzhel didn't have to spell it out to me for me to know. It was strategy, hatred, pure hatred. He wanted to toy with them, gain their trust so they could rely on us and tell him anything that would help us use it in our defence when something goes wrong between us. and by us i mean Arzhel's group and Aaril's group.
"and why would we do that?" say's Noah in order to protect his people from any suspicious actions, that's all he's known to be for, so that question was incoming and so was the question he asked after. "is it really just a game or do you want us to expose ourselves?"
And there Arzhel was cornered he didn't know how to handle these kinds of situations very well and that's were i come in knowing well how to turn tables "tch, what a shame you think of us so ill, so ill that us trying to lend a hand towards friendship is also seeming like a sabotage to you, hm?. I have been good at this manipulation game and trust me i still guilt being good in a skill of the fake but it is what it is and it always works, or maybe because i do it too good. "if you see us asking you a truth as an exposure then when we tell you a truth won't it even out?" and there, just like always i won with my words, that's what i prefer over fights, over screams, over any form of violence.
So there we finally win over their agreement and settle to the spot, The same little hideout i used to cry Infront of Aaril and that's how it got the name "CTD Point" or in long (chilling truth and dare point)
Here today, in the first time in decades these two were playing together even if it was for a truce, It was still the first time they weren't fighting at the mere sight of each other and i truly did appreciate the peace even if it was a mere moment.
At the top sat the heads, the rulers, the final bosses of the groups which surprisingly wasn't Aaril and Arzhel but instead Aaril and me. As much as i resisted it i internally couldn't deny i was shockingly happy to be next to him, near him, close to him, close enough to inhale his scent. We sit right at the top, the highest position that to, with me on the side i choose, he let me choose, i like it. i appreciate it because it's not everyday i got to show what i choose.
"so, who goes first?" kelia another member of our opposition party says fully expecting us to go first and i don't mind because as another step of our manipulation. If i let them go first they'll believe the game was a trick. Considering the theory i say with a smile highlighting my eyes to the brightest.
the easiest way to fool....
"i will!". And there, once again, i was completely able to turn the tables, easily making them believe i saw this only as an entertainment and not a trick
Pero, Keila's brother gives me a smirk before saying in a planned voice "fine then i go first, Meeka truth or dare?" I look at him with a mischievous glint in my eyes "dare, always" his eyebrows raise in surprise as he stares at me just for a moment enough to confirm if I'd plan on changing my choice. He clears his throat to show that he's composed and not as tense as he seems to be "Alright then, i dare you to go into the abandoned tower" he says expecting me to be an average girl and fear such a stupid dare, it's not even dark yet and i wouldn't even encounter a single monkey hanging around in the area. Though what i do expect to encounter are killers and after meeting Aaril i weirdly don't hate them as much as i used to. "deal" echo's my voice in their ears.

My steps were confident as they led me towards the abandoned tower, This tower was under construction but the work had to stop due to the constant deaths of workers, It's still a mystery to why? how? what? and many more questions but none were solved as every investigator who tried to find the cause would suicide. The shocking part was not a single body was found. considering this, no one was allowed to go there, People still believed there was some kind of killer in there as the cases were still fresh and what else would we believe in but did that stop me from going in? NO.
Step by Step i go in. The stairs were falling off, broken patches of steps for about 24 floors straight, only to lead to an incomplete terrace that still had rods in every direction, There was a wheelchair at the top which had no way of getting so high as after the 17th floor the stairs seemed so weak that they would fall off with a mere step and there were no lifts for the convenience of agents. We had noticed the features many times, from our tower terrace and the playground, it was truly a unique sight to behold. Every room in this tower was a mystery, The floor was covered in dirt, sand and powdered cement.
As i moved across the ground floor i found many lizards and a path to the basement, a side of basement we still had in list to explore, i also found multiple toilet seats stacked up, unused but still dirty thanks to their decades of deposition.
I moved up as far as i could reach, i saw nothing other than bats, rats, lizards and smaller insects, there was not even a single dog here denied the fact that soo many dogs roam near the tower. This place had an inerasable aura and one that wasn't the most comforting. My thoughts were consuming me as my steps loose count to where i was leading too. My senses weren't working how they were supposed too anymore.
BANG...
The noise is startling causing me to step back and look left and right. There was no one here other than me. No one dared to step into such an arena then what could have the noise been of?
I see a shadow and not of a women but of a man coming right in my direction, the person was on the other side of the wall leaving only their shadow at my sight. I step back more only to step off the edge of the free space between the stairs and shutting my eyes tight as i realise I'm falling from the 16th floor....
I believe in no god but what i do believe is in saviors, some are true and some just in a disguise playing and internal function of something completely opposite. just to trick, just to win.
