Wheel Of Fortune~10

The captain rewarded them from the plunder they recieved from the hunter.

"We decided to give you this..." The captain smiled.

Hue recieved the gift and was surprised to see a an elegant face powder. The mirror was circular the same from a rear view mirror. The outline was carefully designed with steel shaped in flower wheel.

When the four of them sat and examined the face powder they decided to have Oak use it. Stripe examined the said face powder and saw another layer intact on the base. It's a little wheel with a circular and tiny handle and each line contains a letter.

"It says Caller's Spring." Hue read.

"What is this?" Stripe asked as he studied the face powder in his palm. He twirled the handle and the wheel started to turn. The pointer stopped and it pointed on the letter L.

The team leaned in to observe when the rear mirror spelled a word.

"LINGER." the four exchange glances as they recited the word. The face powder sucked them in as they screamed.

Stripe screamed as he came face to face on a foam above him. He looked to his side as Hue and Nod were blinking. Oak covered his mouth with his palm. Oak reach out to what is above them. The soft feathery texture she felt confirmed her suspicion.

"We are under a bed. A king size one." Oak whispered.

Stripe removed Oak's hand covering his mouth and asked.

"Where is the face powder?"

"I have it here in my pouch's pocket." Nod whispered.

Hue took a peek from below and found the things covered with white cloth.

"I think we are the only one in here." Hue informed.

Each person carefully rolled out of bed.

They examined the place and decided that it's a creepy and abandoned house.

"This house is huge." Stripe stated.

"Yep. But let us look around to see what we need to do here." Hue instructed.

"I agree but can we please move as one. It felt like we are inside a hunted house." Nod complained.

They walked from the bedroom, to the halls and every corner of the house but was only welcomed by webs, dusts and antique things.

The gang decided to get under the bed in order to get out of the place since the window and doors won't open. They looked like worms under the bed.

"This is frustrating! How are we going to get out of here?" Stripe thundered as he sat on the bed.

"What did it say?" Hue asked as he eyed his companions.

"LINGER." Nod replied.

"This of this, we are summoned under a bed inside an abandoned house with no lights but the lamps. This is a thrill!" Oak elaborated.

"No one is happy about that darling. Don't get too excited about it." Nod said ruffling her hair.

"Linger means remain or tarry. Does that mean we need to do so here?" Stripe asked as he look around.

"There is one thing about linger, it means there is a reason to exist." Hue pointed.

"So? what does linger have to do in this place?" Nod asked.

"Could it be that something lingers under the bed?" Oak nonchalantly voiced out.

The whole team looked at each other and they all jump on top of the bed.

"Okay most of the time it's a hand that comes out under the bed!" Stripe rapped as he shivers.

"No, in every horror movie a doll or ball comes out from it!" Oak argued their shivering became more intense when a ball roll out of the bed. The team gawked in silence as they watch the singlr ball appear from under the bed.

"I tooold you!" Oak boasted.

"Baby, you should not be happy about it!" Nod nagged as he embraced Oak from behind.

The bed started to bounce from below. The four young professionals started to compress and squeak.

"Let's take a guess." Hue managed to speak.

"I bet it's a boy." Oak spoke.

"No it's a girl." Stripe and Nod said together.

"Someone should check it under us." Hue suggested.

"You can!" Stripe suggested.

"Yeah you should." Nod agreed.

Hue glanced at Oak who looked excited.

"I bet someone else wants to do it!" he said.

Oak nodded as she crawl at the side of the bed. She secured herself by laying face flat on the bed and properly reached out on the bed sheets on the side of the matress. She gulped in and blinked her eyes as she leaned down till her face almost reach the floor. She breathed out and took a peek under the bed.

Nod disagreed to have Oak do the checking but she seemed to be so interested. Nod held on her heel when she peeked on under the bed. Nod felt the cold sweat forming on his temple. It was long enough before Oak lifted up her face and stared at them. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and announced as if she just recieved the gender within a mother's womb.

"It's a boy."

Stripe and Nod silently screamed as Hue remained stoned.

"What does he looked like?" Stripe asked.

Oak peeked again under the bed and said

"He had a round eyes. His eyes seemed to have been gouge out. His cheeks were scraped and his wrist had some rope marks."

Hue gulped and looked at the ball on the side started rolling back under the bed.

"Ask him why is he there?" Hue spoke.

Oak did and she passed the answer.

"He is hiding." The answer frooze the three men.

"From who?" Nod whispered.

Oak again communicated but the ball suddenly got thrown on the wall. The bed started to quake.

Nod felt the face powder within his pouch's pocket vibrating. He opened it up and the rear view mirror said.

"Leave."

"Live."

The door knob started twisting as a banging was heared. The gang put on the blanket over themselves as they melt in fear.
