Second Assault and the Moorland Surfer

Luis, Leonardo, and Lucas were the three friends that every week gave the people of the town a show, a tale of fantastic adventures, mysteries, or even some great places to take a vacation.

In a coincidence the first letter of their names starts with "L" and also after they began to make this show, they noticed that also spelled the word "Lies" They laughed a lot with this revelation that Leo found.

Every week the boys have been telling a cool tale, and inside of each narrative they hide a little lie, a lot of people from the town and also some tourists came to hear them, they won every time but last week a news reporter came to the show and guessed right all the hidden lies.

The reports Theodore Ruth made a column in the newspaper telling the cool tales of the kids and how he was the first to get a win over them, his narrative was entertaining and the paper sold more after the column was written, his boss told him to go this week too and to put the story on the column inviting the people in the paper to guess the lies too.

The public in the show also went up, this time it wasn't just a tale-teller, it was a showdown, a bout of intelligence, data, and body language, Ruth smiled at the kids, and the four of them looked into the eyes of the rival.

Luis started the show by explaining the rules and telling the part of his story:

Some months ago on October 31, we went to a friend's house, outside the town in a cabin, he invited eleven of us, to a party in celebration of Halloween, of Witches Day, we three came to his house to help him with the decorations and the planning of the party.

We used some orange and purple ribbons, I put a pumpkin at the door and the windows, the lightbulbs were painted to give an eerie feeling, and Lucas made the candles with a special concoction and let me tell you guys, it was scary, he made them resembling fingers and when the light consume them, a red wax came out, really amazing work at the detail.

Leo planned the games, apples in a bucket, putting the tail to the werewolf, the bottle, the Ouija, the questions for the truth or dare, everything was getting ready for the night. We had a great time and he had fun as little kids, well… we are still kids jaja.

At eleven O'clock was our cue, Lucas needed to cut the electricity, light the candles, play Ouija...

The clock marked the time, and it chimed with a really loud sound, Lucas made it and cut the lights, and everyone shouted, we didn't tell anyone, even the party host was oblivious to the interaction, and it was hilarious.

After the energy cut everyone relaxed and we lit up the candles to see after the problem, some girls opened the Ouija Board and all came to the table, the girls and Lucas put their hands in the triangle, and told some questions, who likes who, who steals something, who was here with us… and that was answered.

Luis smiled and he pat himself mentally for hiding a lie so well, he sat up and Leo continued the tale.

M… E… the Ouija spelled, we did more questions asking the one answering.

What's your name? M… E…

Are you with us in this place? N…O... I…M… N…E…A…R…

What are you? H…U…M…A…N…

Are you alive? W…A…S…

Can we see you? N…O…T… Y…E…T…

We stopped playing and told our friend we moved the board, but it wasn't us, I looked at Luis and Lucas and their eyes told me that we have to be careful, and we didn't need to scare more our friends.

Maybe the Ouija was a little mistake, that's on us, we continued the party without lights, I didn't go to power up them, we danced with our phone music, and we had an amazing time.

10 more minutes and midnight would arrive, we planned to tell some ghost stories, or maybe some urban legends, Luis was ready to start at the sound of the clock, but everything went so fast at the first bell…

Leo was more obvious with his lie, now everything depended on Lucas, and he continued the story.

DONG… All the lights lit up and blinked (1st bell)

DONG… Lucas and Luis panic and look for clues to the problem (2nd Bell)

DONG… The party host pointed to the window (3rd bell)

DONG… All the lights and the candles turned off (4th bell)

DONG… The window broke and a gust of wind came into the house, we looked outside and a guy was standing up in the middle of the moorland (5th bell)

DONG… Two girls passed out when they saw the guy and three tried to wake them up(6th bell)

DONG… With our eyes glued to the guy, he blinked into existence and came to us in a zigzag teleportation pattern (7th bell)

DONG… A girl shouted and panicked, she grabbed her legs chanting something (8th bell)

DONG… A guy shouted and the guy was standing in the window, his big hat didn't let us see his face, and he put his hand forward and disappeared (9th bell)

DONG… His boots sounded outside the front door, and his presence was growing (10th bell)

DONG… The handle moved and the door opened up instantly, the guy was looking at us with red eyes, he raised his left leg and put it in front of him, passing the door, every light was shining and all the lightbulbs exploded (11th bell)

DONG… The dude continued walking towards me and tried to hold my shirt, but my legs failed me and I crashed to the floor. (12th bell)

 When the twelfth bell ended the body of the entity vanished, and the candles lit up, the lights were repaired and the window was not broken I was on the floor panting and with cold sweat on my back.

I sighed loudly and started to laugh, I looked for Leo and Luis, they were helping the others, with the girls that fainted, the host was still at the window looking outside, his eyes were wary and he looked pale.

We took him by the shoulders and he started shouting, Luis held him and went into a room to calm him, the party was over and we all went to sleep.

Lucas grinned at the reported, but the reporter was writing in his notebook.

...…Author notes…..

So which do you think are the lies?
