I don't own the picture. It belongs to it's creator.

It has been a couple of seconds since the Louds have been transported to this unknown place. Seconds that only served to cause panic among them since they didn't know what was happening. Well, everyone except Lucy and Lincoln. They knew where they were and who brought them here. A fact that would normally get laughed at by the others, but after seeing this new environment...surely they would believe them, right?

"What is going on?" Lori shouted. It was the right question to ask; but no one could answer her except for Lucy and Lincoln.

"Sigh...Lincoln and I know what force brought us here." Lucy said.

"Lucy, this is no time for your supernatural nonsense. Right now, we need to..." Lynn started to say before Lucy cut her off.

"Be quiet, Lynn. This is no time for arguing. Right now, we need to prepare ourselves." Lucy said.

"Prepare ourselves for what?" Lana asked. Lucy was about to speak when a booming voice echoed down to them.

For the game for your lives, of course.

The voice startled the Louds who nearly jumped from their spots. No one could speak until Lincoln opened his mouth.

"The game that determines whether we get eaten or be able to escape, right?" Lincoln said.

You're a cleaver young man. I have taken many people to my playing grounds and each one never knows what is going on. Anyway, your family and yourself will play against one of my killers. 

When the voice said that, the Louds started to panic more. They have to play a game against an unknown killer. However, that didn't stop Rita from saying something.

"Excuse me? Are you telling me that we have to escape from someone who's killed someone before." Rita exclaimed.

Exactly. You are my newest victims that I sucked into my personal dimensions. Forever trapped and forced to play my game over and over again. Sure, they lose and die, but I always bring them back. 

"And if we refuse to play?" Lynn asked. Lincoln and Lucy glanced at her before sighing, but before either of them could scold her for that stupid question. The sky and ground turned black and red. To make matters worse, the Entity came into view and grabbed Lynn.

YoU cAn'T rEfUsE tO pLaY mY gAmE, yOu PaThEtIc MoRtAl! ThOsE wHo Do FaCe A fAtE wOrSe ThAn DeAtH!

"S..She understands. We will play your game so put her down." Lincoln said. He was trying to mask his fear which almost made Lynn laugh...well, if she could laugh in the presence of this Entity. So once the Entity placed her down, she wisely stayed quiet. 

Now that is over, we can start getting all of you ready. Cause once the game begins, you will  face one of my killers.

"Which one are you talking about?" Lucy asked. The Entity never replied which didn't help calm the nerves of the family. Whoever or whatever is going to chase them will be a surprise. 

If only the surprise didn't come with some hatchets.

Hope you enjoy the chapter...Bye 👋
