Delightfully Wonderful Game (DNKNA) Chapter one

"So, did you hear from your mother at all yet?" Avery Fernandez asked her brunette friend as they walked down the street. The brunet girl, who was a few inches shorter than Avery, shook her head.

"No, not really. Well, I mean she obviously still wants me to come home but I'm not ready to do that yet. I love my family and everything but there is a reason I left in the first place." Alana answers as she thought of her family. Her older brother flashed in her mind and she smiled sadly.

It had been a little over a year since Alana has run away from home. Her reason for doing so was she couldn't handle living with her mother anymore. The girl loved her mother but the woman was very old school when it came to how women and young girls should act. From as far back as Alana could remember it had always been ladies don't do this and ladies don't do that. Normally it wouldn't be that big of deal but the girl had grown up as a tom boy. Still that never stopped the woman from trying to turn her daughter into a proper young lady. Her father was somewhat more understanding but it was her older brother Kyle that really accepted her for who she was.

"I suppose I miss my brother most of all since he's the only one in my family that understands and accepts me for who I am. It's not like I regret living with you and your brothers, though. You've become like a sister to me and your brothers have become like my brothers. Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremy ever arrested Kyle for doing something stupid." Alana laughed, vividly thinking of Avery's brother arresting her own. After all, while he was a loving older brother Kyle wasn't the best influence around.

"Well, until that happens, you can always visit your brother if he's that important to you." Avery suggested, smiling at her friend as they turned the corner. Alana nodded in agreement and tightened her grip on Jaiden's leash as they passed a man walking his own dog.

"Well, yes, I know and I've tried to get in contact with him too. However, as much as I miss my brother I've been living with you for over a year now and I'm happy where I am. You're the bestest friend I've ever have." She tells the taller girl, her smile becoming softer to show Avery she was being genuine. A small blush came onto the other's face and she smiled back at Alana.

"W-Well, thank you, I'm glad you think so." Avery stuttered slightly as she held a tight grip on Jett's leash when he began to get close to Alana. Even though she had been living with Avery for a little over a year the young dog would try and bite her now and then.

Alana simply smiled at Avery and glanced down at the younger dog. She didn't understand why there were times where it seemed that he didn't like her. The dog sure liked her enough when she feed him treats at the table or gave him baths. Hell, Jett sometimes even slept with her when none of the boys were home. However any other time Jett would try to bite at her ankle for reasons she didn't know. When Alana told Avery this the girl simply shrugged.

"Maybe he was just kicked in the head too many times." She guessed, seriously trying to think of a reason before shaking it off. "But Jaiden seems to really love you." She pointed out with a smile, where Alana smiled in agreement.

"Yeah, he's a good boy, a little strange but good. I honestly don't think I'll ever understand how he's able to get out of a locked room. We should seriously hide a video camera in the room the next time we leave him alone." She suggested seriously, looking over to the old but still energetic and playful dog as they entered a park. Luckily there weren't that many people around at the moment which made walking the dogs easy; as Jett had a habit of chasing almost anything that ran and that would cause Jaiden to follow.

"Hmm, maybe we can steal one from Jeremy." Avery suggests with a chuckle as she continues, "but he'd probably dust it for fingerprints later." She teases, holding up her hand to wiggle her fingers. Alana laughed back and tightened her grip on Jaiden ones again as his pulling got stronger.

"Not unless we use gloves." She teased back, winking towards Avery. The taller girl simply smiled and opened her mouth as if to reply but never got the chance.

Without any warning the bush next to the two girls rustled and got the attention of the dogs. Jaiden began barking at whatever was in the bush, seemingly scaring it away. Before either Alana or Avery had a chance to react Jaiden managed to slip out of Alana's grip and bolted after whatever was in the bushes. With a growl Jett's ears perked up and he too managed to pull out of his walker's grip as he ran after the older dog.

"Jaiden/Jett!" Both girls cried out at the same time and took off after the dogs. However their leashes whipping around the air like a hoes not being held; which are hard to grab onto without difficulty.

"Jett, Jaide-" Avery starts to call out again as they are about to cross the road, what the dogs were chasing invisible from her line of sight. However she was cut off by the loud, deep honking of a truck, making the two girls turn their heads to see one coming straight for them.

Instantly both girls screamed and Alana shielded her face with her arms, knowing it was much too late to jump out of the way. Before Avery could even try to pull them out of the way and before the trunk was able to hit them, both girls felt themselves fall. It was as if the ground beneath their feet had just disappeared and the two girls were then falling through a deep, dark hole. Again Alana and Avery let out a startled scream as they could also hear loud howling which signified that both dogs also fell even though they couldn't be seen.

"What the hell is going on?!" Alana shrieked, frightened that she couldn't see anything around her but darkness. Well she could see Avery but she couldn't see the dogs even though she clearly heard Jaiden howling; although where that howling exactly came from she had no idea.

'D-did we just fall down a manhole?' Avery thought as she continued to scream, feeling herself tumble down further into the darkness. When was this going to end and was she going to die when they finally landed?

Having similar thoughts to Avery Alana looked up to see the light above get smaller and smaller as they continued to fall down the hole. There was no way they had fallen down some manhole; the hole above was much too big and the hole was far too deep to be the sewers. Then, if this wasn't a manhole to the sewers just what the hell was going on?! The girls could feel their heart beat repeatedly in their chest and Alana's stomach turn on itself as she waited to hit something and break all her bones; after all with a fall like this there's no way the landing would be gentle. Not unless there was a mountain of pillows waiting for the girls at the end of the hole.

Without warning a mind numbing sensation swept through both Avery and Alana's body. Instead of falling it suddenly now felt as if the girls were floating. Avery struggled to keep her eyes open long enough to look over at Alana, noticing that she looked as exhausted as she too was struggling to keep her eyes open. W-what was….?

Ah, just on time. Shell we watch the fun game commence? A strange voice asked as Avery's eyes finally shut and she drifted off into a deep sleep.

"A-Avery?" Alana weakly called out to her friend, keeping her eyes open long enough to see her pass out. However, before she could feel any sicker, she too fell victim to the strange force that caused her to feel light headed and fell into a deep sleep.
