(Everyone is waking up in a safe room.The room looks like it was
suppose to be inside a summer cabin with bunk beds everyone was
on.The children are not in the room.)
James let out a small groan and held his head."Maan.I really need
to lay off the late night alcohol.Leads to some wacky dreams."He
sits up and looks around."Or maybe it wasn't a dream?"
"No dream sir. Welcome to the game." Ricky mused, "I tried to sleep
but it was hard knowing this would happen. Oh gosh I wonder what
they have in store for us."
Lise sat up and immediately looked around for Troye, who was right
under her, sound asleep. "Jeez, you scared me..." She mumbled
quietly to herself, always wondering why it had to be Troye with
her. She crossed her legs and sighed. "What now..." She thought
aloud.
"We wait for the rules. The objective." Ricky mused, "Simple
concept for a game like this. Gosh I can't wait. Should I hold back
a bit on our opponents? I mean they are adorable."
From outside the room you hear giggles."We get new dollies.We get
new dollies!"Comes a sing song voice of a little girl.After a few
minutes the young girl from earlier throws something into the room
and runs off.It looks like a small cube.The cube glows red before a
holographic image of the boy from earlier appears above it. "Hello.Hopefully a good portion of you are awake by now.You are
currently in one of the safe rooms in my families castle.I suggest
finding all of these rooms as they are a saving grace for you.They
all look the same so they should be easy to find.You are currently
brought in due to us having a small need that you can fulfill.Your
goal is to get out of here ALIVE or become a doll for my family and
myself.The rules are simple be in a safe room by ten and try not to
kill each other.Oh yes before I forget scattered around the castle
is equipment that will be needed such as med kits,food,water,you
know that stuff.None will ever appear in the safe rooms unless you
bring it in with you.Have fun!"
With that the cube self destructs."So that is a thing."James muses
after a few minutes.
"Dear God..." Lise said with a sigh. She looked back under her and
Troye had shifted, but he was still asleep. "I swear, he sleeps
just like a log." She said. She looked at where the cube had been
and then was quiet, deep in thought.
Elizabeth was reading a book, completely ignorant of the fact that
she just woke up. Also, she was trying to ignore what the others
were saying. Honestly, were they that paranoid? She glanced at
Thomas, who had just woken up. He was laying across his friend's
lap, humming to Cabinet Battle #1.
"Hey, Tommy?" Eliza asked.
"Don't call me that, Liz."
"Oh you went there." She closed her book and ruffled her friend's
fluffy hair.
James shrugs."Guess so.I'm James Dreynar."He replies to Ricky.
"Hmm wonder how papaw is going to react?"The little girl says.The
two children were currently in the boy's room."He'll have fun
though he may not like what we did to the castle."The boy
responds."Good point,stay out of papaw way for now?"The boy nods in
agreement.
"I guess... I'm Lise." Lise said. Troye finally got up and yawned.
"Oh hello Lise." He said, leaning over and looking up at her. She
gave a small wave. He was next to her in the blink of an eye,
stretching. "I guess we're doing introductions huh? I'm Troye." He
said with a tired smile.
"Richard. Though I prefer Ricky and since the second oldest is
thirty five years younger than me, you can call Mr.Ricky." Ricky
mused after a bit calmly judging each person.
"I'm Elizabeth Reynolds. But call me
Eliza or I won't hesitate to beat you up," Eliza said, shoving
Thomas off of her lap. "And this huge dork is Thomas Mulligan. Only
I can call him Tommy." Thomas waved before playing with the buttons
on his ridiculous blazer.
"I understand Elizabeth. Nice to meet you two." Ricky replied
purposely using Eliza's real name to try and make her mad. Part of
him wondered if she was serious while another part doubted her.
Lise chuckled. "I feel your pain." She said to Eliza. "Hey I'm not
that bad..." Troye said, pouting. Lise sighed. Troye peered down at
his bunk and then checked his pockets. "Have you seen my phone..?
By the way, where are we?" Troye asked. "I'll explain later. And I
haven't seen your phone either." She said and he sighed, leaning
back and lying down on the bunk.
"I heard about it in a book. A great king died here and since then
many bad things happened. It is supposed to be haunted and thirty
something years ago it was bought by some business man. Guess we
are another group of casualties." Ricky mused.
Eliza stood up and ice suddenly formed
around her hand. "I wasn't kidding," she growled. Thomas tugged at
her arm to get her to sit back down. "Thomas-"
"Eliza calm down, it's not a big deal."
Eliza was obviously mad about Ricky doing that even though she
clearly said- "Hey, yeah. I can't find my phone either. They
probably took them." Her thoughts were cut off by Thomas's
words.
Troye sighed. "Now I can't cancel my date. She's going to kill me
when we get out of here..." Troye mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "If we
get out of here." Lise said with a sigh.
Oliver had been with everyone the whole time. He grinned and had
the same idea as Ricky, "Calm down, ELIZABETH" he said loudly while
smirking. His ears twitched
"Well I am not sure about you guys but exploring sounds like a plan
of action to me."James says with a hum while standing up and
stretching."After all supplies are suppose to be scattered around
the place.Best we get what we can now.Who knows what the kids have
planned."
