Chapter 2: A Normal Day?

                                    

                                          
Cooper's P.O.V.
                          
Time to start my day as I always do, I get up from the bed and go to the restroom to brush my teeth and floss. Once I finished I got out of my restroom and went to the dining room to see my siblings already there except those two that hate me so. Nick and Blue whispering and laughing to each other with those disgusting smiles that went from ear to ear every time they are 'active'. 'Active' is a word I use when any one of my siblings are moving around and doing what they want even when they get hurt in the process. My eyes move around to see if any other siblings of mine are currently active as well but to my surprise, I see my eldest sibling, Petals looking around the room deep in thought.
                          
I'm astonished that she's active since I don't really remember the last she was active when dad wasn't here. I turn to look at her once again but this time she's staring at me with such melancholy eyes then tearing up and looking away from me. I'm confused but finally, mutter loud enough for her to hear me "What's wrong Petals?" I say while tilting my head looking right at her with a confused glance. Blue and Nick seem to be glaring at Petals and both asking her "Yeah what's wrong, Petals?" with a fake innocent smiles, it's quiet but she murmurs loud enough "nothing just feeling down is all". She then deactivates and goes still, I look towards where Blue and Nick were but to my surprise they were gone from their seats.
                          
I look around worried where they might be, I get picked up and see Nick is carrying me while Blue leads the way. Nick's smile turned bigger and says to me "You'll love the 5 puzzles I made with blood and sweat" and then they drop me harshly in the cold snow. Blue and Nick run across the-blue snow nicely made in a shape of a long rectangle and they seem to be giggling before going serious. Blue stares me down before saying "Today we'll see if you deserve to live and if you can't figure them out then you get...3 freebies basically hints and when you flash the number three with your fingers or the number of how much you have left which makes us help you" I was scared. I wish they weren't like this and that they loved me but that's too much to ask for when you live in my family for the most part.
                          
Nick steps forward and yells with a smile "This puzzle is for you to walk across and make it to us and you can't walk away unless you don't want your fingers" I nod quickly and slowly walk forward. But I feel as I'm stuck, I feel numb and can't walk but I fall and start crawling towards them more scared than ever before. Then the snow turns sticky once I'm about to reach them but somehow once I grab Nick's leg it starts to let go and I slowly regain control over my body once again. I gasp and hold myself while Nick and Blue both share different reactions, Nick picks me up and tightly hugging me saying "Finally a worthy opponent for these puzzles we've made" which scares me more. Blue stays silent while smirking rather creepy like and then open his mouth, to my surprise blood is pouring out from his mouth while he keeps eye contact with me before closing his mouth thankfully.
                          
I then get pulled along by Nick and Blue and they throw me on the ground and made it to the other side of the blue snowfield thing or something. "Just walk across and we're sure you'll make it or at least I think so," said Nick to me but I don't want to use my skips or freebies as they say. I slowly walk across barefoot since I was still in my pj's and didn't wear my slippers, it feels warm on the snow before I start to sink and moving made me sink even more down. But instead of it being warm as it was, in the beginning, it burned as I slowly sunk in the wretched blue snow. Blue pulled me out making me shiver as my blood forced its way into the 1st-degree burns, I try to thank him but he throws me to Nick who seems disappointed in me.
                          
He then states "I didn't expect you to finish that quick so why don't you go to me and Blue's hangout spot where our friend is" I look at Nick and ask "Are they f-friendly?" trying to sound calm. "They're the sweetest in the whole world!" said Nick seeming happy and Blue says to me "Their a monster who is a cannibal and doesn't like kids like you who don't get the fucking memo," said Blue passive-aggressively. Nick points to the house and says "Hope to see you soon" before disappearing in the never-ending snow with Blue. I walk towards the empty-looking house with a few lights on, as I knock on the door I wished I was home. The door slammed open and I see a not so friendly face that's mouth is covered by a bandana stares at me for a while before stepping away from the door to let me in.
