Chapter 5: The First Game

Ash - The silent boy.

Rhys - Muscley guy who spat on Rocco's shoes; respect to him. He's also the person who keeps attempting to piss Rocco off.

Kaitlyn - Nerdy girl with glasses that was on the verge of crying.

Scarlet - Her twin is Ivy.

Ivy - Her twin is Scarlet.

Candice - The girl that was abandoned in a cemetery.

Vince - A boy who really looked like he didn't give a flying peanut butter. And also the guy that was really pushing Rocco's patience.

Cassian - The girl who desperately wanted to go to her nails appointment... And seemed as if she had a crush on Vince... Or her nails.

Taron - A guy in a suit who looked like he just peed himself.

"Had fun did ya?"

I knew immediately whose voice it was. It was so distinct, so freaking irritating.

"Go away, Rocco. You're not funny y'know, so stop acting like you're hilarious."

"I am very funny thank you very much, why aren't you laughing?"

"Hah, hah, HAHH, HAHAHAHA. Happy now?"

"Very happy thanks."

I rolled my eyes, still not looking up at him.

"What happened to you?" he said sarcastic concern dripping from his tone. I could just imagine his signature smirk as he spoke.

"What do you mean? I'm the happiest girl ever. It's not as if I had some weird panic attack type thing, or that I'm stuck in some kind of abandoned hospital with a few other killers. Like, it's not as if a really irritating guy called Rocco is here trying to literally cheese me off."

"Hah! That's good then! All hunky dor- Wait did you say I 'cheese' you off?"

"No, if you were listening correctly, I said that it was a random guy called Rocco, unless that is your name of course."

"My name is Rocco. I thought you knew that."

"Oh! What a coincidence! I know a guy called Rocco too!" I lowered my voice conspirically, "He was in the other room and he was really getting on my nerves, you'd probably make a good team."

 I could feel Rocco becoming quite irritated that I was making fun of him, "Are you saying that I, as in me, get on your nerves?"

"Bingo. What a genius."

"Okay, this is boring me now. When are you gonna stop with the sarcasm?"

"What sarcasm? I don't see any sarcasm here." I lifted up my head to look around as if I was looking for sarcasm.

A few seconds later, Rocco slapped me across the face.

"Ow... What was that for?" I rubbed my face, before pulling back and realising that there was blood on there, "Wait do you have a ring on or something." I winced. It hurt to talk. How could Rocco slap me so damn hard? It freaking stung.

"You were annoying me."

"What and you don't think you annoy me at all?"

"Nope. I don't even have a ring." He showed me his hands, a finger had a ring on there, a sharp blade on the top, filled with my blood.

"Geez... Just because I was annoying you, huh?"

"You're lucky that I didn't cut one of your fingers off 'ey My Feisty Fox."

"Sure... whatever." I mumbled.

"Do you want to lose a finger?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Not exactly-"

"Look Nicky. I ain't got time for this foreplay. Come. Like, now, otherwise I'll shoot you."

Before I could respond, he ran off into a dark corridor- why is everywhere so dark? I can't even see to describe it for you. All I can say it that it stank of blood and dead bodies... I don't even know how many times I've said that. It's such a putrid smell. Like rust or something.

I could still see Rocco's body shape in the distance, despite the lack of light, and ran after him. I mean, I don't exactly want to get shot at. You'd do the same... right?

He ran into a unfamiliar room, where all of the other contestants were, or whatever.

The room was plain white, but yet again this room stank of dead bodies and blood, the rusty smell causing my to cringe.

Shadow was fidgeting with his suit in the back corner, Kaitlyn was next to him, nervously pushing up her glasses. Candice was holding back tears, that just kept falling with Ash just about in front of her, his face expressionless. Rhys was slightly to the front of the room, Cassian and Vince at the very front... literally just gossiping. Like we were all just kidnapped, and they were just talking like it was nothing. Scarlet and Ivy were to the side of the room. Ivy was looking worriedly around the place, her ginger hair and black dress looking out of place whereas her twin looked confident in trendy clothes. 

You could tell that they were the kind of twins that were polar opposites.

I sat next to Kaitlyn. She looked nice enough. I mean, either way, she didn't look like the kind of person who would kill someone. She didn't notice me, thank goodness. Well, I mean it depends how you look at it. If you were me, then no because I'm an introverted little bum, whereas you... Wait... If you're reading this, you're probably sitting under your covers, hiding away from the world... Great, now I don't have anything to compare it to. Thanks you guys. Please note the sarcasm.

Rocco clapped his hands, "So, hellooooo guyysss!"

We all stared blankly, kind of looking like Ash to be fair... Apart from Vince and Cassian who were still talking about some weird thing. They were starting to get on my nerves actually... Like, do you not feel anything? Are you sociopaths?

Rocco tried ignored the two of them, but of course Rocco being Rocco does not have any patience whatsoever, "Cassian and Vince, can I continue or are you guys just gonna keep talking."

Neither of them said anything, and just kept on talking to one another.

"Alright then. You won't hear the rules of the first game. Therefore, you are at a disadvantage to those of you whom are paying attention. Woah, that sounded professional, go me!"

None of them seemed to care really. I don't know why he thought any of us would care, but never mind.

Rocco looked slightly irritated, but carried on, "So guys, this is your first game. As you can see, there are air vents. All of you guys are going to go in there and you are going to play 'it' or 'tag' as some of you may say. Obviously I'm not going to make it easy for you. There are traps and dangerous obstacles that you guys will have to get through. You'll be in there for an hour, so good luck to all you claustrophobic people.The person who is 'it' the most times or is 'tagged' the most loses and are at risk of death. You guys all know what happens then, so I don't have to repeat myself. Do I?"

We all looked at him wondering if we needed to give him a response.

"Do I?"

We all shook our heads and some of us muttered a 'no'.

I think I remember anyway. When someone loses, we have to guess their fear, and if the majority gets it wrong, they die. Something so anyway.

"Okay the order you guys will have to go in is; Vince, My Feisty Fox, Ivy, Ash, Candice, Cassian, Rhys, Scarlet, Kaitlyn, Shadow. And no looking at Ivy's underwear Ash. "Actually, you know what I can't stand pervs." Rocco chuckled as he chucked Ivy a pair of shorts, "Might be helpful."  

Ivy blushed bright red, her usually pale face going an unusual shade of red.

" Alright guys! Let's play Face Your Fears!"
