A group of gamers called the Gamevilla decided to take their gaming up a notch by being adventurous.

They embarked on an epic adventure, imagining themselves as brave warriors on a quest to find the legendary treasure hidden deep within the enchanted forest.
After marking their paths in the woods with stones and sticks, they divided themselves into pairs as a team each against other pairs who were for the game, a competitor.
Sarah and Clara were paired together in an attempt at reconciliation but they were both being bullheaded.
As they walked through the woods in silence, they said no words to each other except the joyous sounds they made whenever they found a treasure.
As they walked further into the woods, so did the silence grow between them.
“Clara, don’t move,” Sarah said out of nowhere but Clara rolled her eyes at her.
Clara turned around to find what made her say so, only to find a giant spider crawling up a tree that was close to where she was standing.
She screamed, falling to the ground on her butt out of fear. Sarah looked around and found a stick which she used to kill the spider.
“I told you not to move,”
“You never mentioned it was a spider!”
“So much for a thank you!” Sarah said in an upset tone as she tossed the stick away and sat on the ground. Clara looked dejected before moving closer to her and sitting right beside her.
They sat in silence for a while before Clara finally broke the silence.
“You said you were going to get help that night,” she started and Sarah looked over to her side at Clara’s face.
“I did get help but you were no longer there,”
“But I waited. I sat in the lonely street, stuck at that odd hour under the heavy downpour, waiting for you for an hour but you never showed up.”
“I got caught up in something,” Sarah said with disdain as she looked ahead.
“What could you possibly be caught up in to leave me for that long, alone and scared?!” Clara’s was starting to get loud.
Sarah has always tried to avoid this discussion which was why she had kept her distance from Clara after the incident.
“I was caught up with something, Clara. I really was,” Sarah’s voice remained calm but the hurt in her tone was obvious but not so clear for Clara to notice.
“Do you even hold me in high esteem as much as I hold you? You were the one who asked us to get the drugs in the rain. You were the one who wasn’t scared of how dark it was. You were the one who dragged me out that night!” Clara rushed the words out with tears rolling down her cheeks.
“It was for your mum. She would have died without those drugs,” Sarah’s tone remained calm still.
“But she did die even with the drugs?” Clara yelled.
Sarah nodded her head before getting up. “You are one hell of an ingrate!! Sarah said, walking away from Clara.
“And you are one hell of a betrayal!”
Sarah stopped in her steps as she walked back to Clara. That was the highest level of insult she could tolerate from her.
“You wanna know what I was caught up in that night? You really wanna know?” she nodded vehemently with tears rolling down her cheeks. “I caught your dad and my mum fucking each other in your home!” Sarah breathed out and the shock was evident on Clara’s face.
“I was going to go over to get your dad to come help and I found him banging my mum!”
“No, no. That can’t be true!”
“And you know the worst part? They weren’t remorseful! So, you better quit the childish show and act right! I am not the enemy here!” Sarah yelled, rushing the words out from the most painful depths of her heart.
“I guess we won!” another pair rushed over with tons of treasure in their hands and Sarah quickly wiped the tears off her face while Clara stood still in shock.
“We only got one,” Sarah replied to them with a fake smile.
“Is everything okay?” one of them asked.
“Yes, yes!” Sarah quickly replied.
“Clara?” the second girl called but Clara gave no response, lost in her thoughts. Sarah nudged her, bringing her back from her thoughts and she quickly wiped her face, feigning a smile.
“Yes,” she replied and the girls smiled before hurrying away.
Sarah faced Clara who was still full of pain and moved closer to her. She held her hands in hers before speaking “Our parents shouldn’t be the end of us. We also shouldn’t let misunderstanding tear us apart,” Clara nodded, allowing the tears to roll down her cheeks and Sarah pulled her in for a tight hug.
