Lizzie woke up at the sound of her dogs barking, it was a cold summer morning, forst still evaporating on her window sills,

lizzie hated getting out of bed, however, eventually, she did it. she put on her mittens, clothes, wiht a white under shirt under, aswell as some thermal socks, leg warmers, and her classic mary janes. she did her hair and makeup, and opened her door, she was immedently hit with the cold morning hair, the foggy sky elimintating all sun that wanted to shine,

'oh jeez' she spoke, the cold hair making her throught tight, beside her, she saw dragon ogre and taxes playing together, fighting over a toy, gosh they were cute, she gently took a step towards the center of her fairy fort, the trees swaying, creating natures perfect song. suddenly, Ren jumped down from trees,

'Jeezes ren! how long have you been there?'

'long enough'

'you creep.' Lizzie said playfully, looking at rens cold attire, he wore a beanie with som gloves, with some paws on the palms, his ears twitched as he noticed someone else was there, not just lizzie, but another person, he behind him at the gate, BigB walking in, smiling and waving

'hey gang!' he spoke, his voice as cheerful as ever,
'hey bigB!' Lizzie waved, beconing him over to were her and ren stood, dragon ogre and taxes stopped there fighting, looking over at who had just entered, before going straight back to fighting eachother.

As ren walked over to them, lizzie and BigB couldn’t help but smile to see thier teamate, hell at this point, they were most likely the most stable team on the server, everything seemed perfect.

As the four sat in a circle, chatting about what they dreamt about last night, laughing as they talked, Lizzies wings fluttered as tens ears twitched. Cleos hair bounced as she nodded and laughed and bigBs laugh lit up the fort.

The Boogeyman Will Be Chosen in 10 Seconds

The laughter stopped.

The talking stopped.

The movement stopped.

The wings didn’t flutter and the ears didn’t twitch.

The hair didn’t bounce and the laugh switched.

As everyone stared at the message, all their hearts pounding as they looked at each other,

You Are Not the boogey man.

Lizzie sighed a breath of relief, ‘im not the boogey’ she said, smiling that she wouldn’t have to kill one of her friends, as she looked around, everyone seemed normal, maybe. BigB seemed alittle off, but she thought it was just the paranioa. ‘Not the boogey’ they repeated, BigB included, thankful there would be any death in the fairy fort. that seemed to ease everyones discomfort, thank god.

as everyone slowly left the fairyfort, saying goodbye to eachother and lizzie, thanking her for letting them come over, lizzie smiled, feeling satisifed with her day so far. she headed over to her three dogs, dragon, ogre and Taxes, petting all three and feeding them her spare rotten flesh. smiling to herself with contentness. Feeling like nothing could go wrong.

right?

Chapter two: Deception

Giggles filled the small house in the fairy fort; it was quite a scene, with Ren giggling while braiding Lizzie’s hair and Lizzie painting BigB’s nails a nice royal blue, as, according to BigB, it was ‘the most masculine’ colour there was. ‘Ok, ok, thoughts on Joel?’ Ren said, holding back laughter, smiling, and giggling, his hands working tirelessly on the baby pink hair in front of him’ 

I mean, he’s a bit of an egotistical maniac; I keep hearing him talking to himself, like whispering spells. I think it’s something to do with that weird magic mountain thing he’s got. It’s, like, so weird!’ Lizzie gossiped, her snarky tone coming out more in the last part.

‘Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, like, with the way he’s been acting recently, I don’t think I feel safe around him.’ BigB said, now blowing on his freshly painted nails, admiring the nice colour on his dark skin, ‘Well done on the nails,’ he complimented Lizzie. ‘Now let me do yours!’

‘Is that masculine enough for you, B?’ Lizzie teased, of course. Ren found that funny as shit, because he has the worst sense of humour. ‘Shut up, man!’ BigB shoved Ren, messing up Lizzie's long hair for the second time.

‘Ok gossip guys, this might be tmi, but me and Cleo, you know, did it.’

The guy’s eyes widened. ‘Ok, what do you mean by it? ‘Like, chopped a tree or scissor sisters,’ Ren spoke up, curiously. 

‘Like, sex?’ BigB added on, and Lizzie nodded. ‘So you guys are, like, a thing now?’ He added on again.

‘I don’t know; I don’t know if it’s like a casual thing or like if we’re dating, but I really hope we’re dating!’ Lizzie squeezed, ‘I really like them, and I hope they like me too!’

‘Awww’ Ren cooed, ‘So what about Joel? Weren’t you two, like, a thing?’

‘Oh god, if I was still dating Joel, I’d kill myself. I mean, totally emotionally unavailable, not a speck of affection apart from those nights.’ 

‘Oh, were you and Joel having sex?’

‘B!’ Lizzie shouted, laughing, and BigB and Ren burst out laughing as Lizzie ate some more popcorn. ‘Hey, anyone know where Cleo is? We still have not figured out who the bogeymanis’. Lizzie said, trying to change the subject from her sex life nonchalantly. BigB suddenly checked his watch. ‘Uhh, I-I have to go, you know, feed, feed the cows! Yes, yes, I need to feed the cows! Nigh!’ BigB said

Lizzie and Ren exchanged odd looks, but, who knew, BigB could be struggling with mental health, so they let it fly and waved goodbye as BigB rushed out.

‘Does he even have cows?’ Ren said, confused.

————————————————

‘Shit shit shit, fuckkk’ BigB whispered to himself, getting his sword, looking at his own reflection in the shine, its diamond material shimmering out in the moonlight. Something overcame him, like Adderall, a boost of dopamine and focus, and all he needed to do was kill.

He rushed out; spotting Cleo, he could? Cleo was his friend, right? Best friend even, he couldn’t kill her! Could he?

‘Oh, oh, hi, Cleo. Hey, hey, how are you going?’ He said, trying to mask his thirst for blood.

‘Uhh, I’m good, thanks? Nice night out, innit?’ Cleo spoke, turning her back to Big B, facing the moon.

‘The moon looks lovely tonight, doesn’t it?’ 

A scream erupted in the forest, breaking the blanket of silence called night. She looked down. The sword cutting through her chest and piercing the other side, blood dripping down from the cobblestone stairs to the grass, slowly seeping into the river, turning the water red.

‘BigB?…’

The sword slipped out of her chest asshe turned around, facing her murderer, his face splattered with her blood, sweat dripping from his head. Her eyes widened as the sword piercedd her skin again; she gripped the handle, her head feeling woozy and her grip weak. Her ears muffled all the sounds, as all she could say herself were gasps for air and screams, and of course, one more thing,

‘Fuck you.’ 

She managed to sigh out, her last breath leaving her body for the last time, her eyes slowly closing as more blood spilt out of her, soaking her clothes and BigBs. Her hair slowly wrapped around her as her body fell limp into the water, turning the red water redder as she floated, her eyes still wide with terror as the life slowly left them, her eye twinkle now one with the stars and no longer on earth.

Above stood BigB, staring down at her lifeless body, his sword dropping to the floor, clanking as he went to his knees, his hands over his mouth as tears mixed with blood. ‘Please, please, I’m sorry. Please, please, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Cleo. I’m sorry, I’m sorry,’ he said, his whispers turning into shouting as he collapsed onto the ground, crying. He knew Cleo would respawn, as they always did, but it never got any better murdering his friends.

Lizzie and Ren rushed out, Lizzie's braid slowly falling out as their eyes widened, looking at the sight, their eyes slowly following the trail of blood from BigB to the water, then to Cleo.
