A soft groan escapes from Joanna's mouth as she rubs her head and pushes up with one hand from the carpeted floor. Everything aches as she slowly positions herself against the wall behind her. She flickers open her eyes, to see a dim light in the otherwise dark room, coming from a source that's too blurry to see, but after a few minutes of blinking and rubbing, she realises that it's from a window. As her eyes adjust and she looks around the room, she discovers that she is in fact, not in her bedroom, but instead in the R202 classroom. Her breathing quickens, surely it's just a bad dream, I️ mean, there is no possible way to explain how she had gotten to school in the early hours of the summer holidays. However, this was not the most disturbing factor, for as she looked around she noticed that the cold bodies of Tally and Lily were spread on either side of her. Hurriedly, in a fit of panic she ran over to the closest body, Lily, desperately inspecting her to see if she was alive. Joanna felt a steady but slow pulse in her neck, and relaxed her body with the new found information. She then went to Tally's aid, being able to wake her from her sleep.

"Wha.. wh... Where the fuck?..." Tally groaned, not fully understanding the situation she was in, rubbing her eyes and looking cautiously around the room.

"Tally! Oh my god you're ok" Joanna said with a smile plastered on her face, kneeling by her side, she finally released her hands from Tally's shoulders.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Tally yelled through the darkness, once she had shaken off the sleep.

"I️ don't know. I️ woke up only a couple minutes ago, we are at school for some reason, but we have to help Lily" she said, spinning around and crawling to Lilys side. Tally joined her, as they both shook her and continually slapped her until she awoke.

"What's.. what's going o-" she began, until she was abruptly cut off by the sound of static and a blinding bright light being emitted from the corner of the room.

"Hello Joanna, Tally, and Lily. I'd like to play a game... a Queenwood game." everyone was at full alert and definitely awake. They stared at the screen in the corner, only a few meters away, thoroughly terrified as they looked at a person who was wearing a Queenwood panama, however their face could not be seen, and their voice was altered to sound like that of a demonic robot.

"You're probably wondering where you are, or what you are doing here. Well, you're all at school, in the early hours of the morning, as for what your doing here, I️ can't tell you just yet. Around this room you will find what you need to escape through that door behind you, but be warned, it will not come without a price. A series of options will be open to you, all just as painful as the other. Chose wisely, live or die"

The TV shut off without another word and suddenly the room illuminated. The three girls stood horrified as they saw the weapons and cameras and traps placed around the room. The word 'Begin' could be seen on the right wall, still wet with red paint. A cold sweat ran down Joanna's back as she thought of what to do, Tally stood by her side, just as shocked as she was. Lily however stumbled back, not being able to stand, and slid down the wall hyperventilating.
Joanna rushed to her side after peeling her eyes off of the contents of the room to comfort her. However Tally moved slowly forward, looking at each weapon and tool there was. She picked up a note, "do what you must, but only what you must", she slid it into her pocket, without alerting the other members.

"Lily are you ok?" Joanna said holding her head straight

"N-No, I️-I️ ca- I️ can't bre- breath" Lily said out of breath, her eyes started rolling to the back of her head, so Joanna did the only thing she could think of. Lily snapped back to reality after Joanna slapped her in the face with the back of her hand, lily was shocked, but she was now listening.

"Look Lily, I️ know you're scared, we all are, but you need to pull yourself together and help us get out of here" Joanna said, staring Lily down.

"Ok, ok" Lily said, breathing out an unsteady breath. She stood up and brushed herself off, and then they both joined tally in the midst of the equipment.
In front of them was three glass boxes, all containing a lever. And on each lever a key could be found. A note was written on the top, "pick your poison, or rather poison your pick".

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Tally Said, looking to the other members. Lily took the note in her hand and spun it over, once and then twice, as though she was trying to understand some hidden element to the paper.

"Let's just pull a lever" Tally said, reaching for the one in front of her.

"No!" Joanna jolted, grabbing Tallys hand and pulling her back. "There has to be a right choice, poison your pick..." she trailed off.

"Well if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them" Tally said impatiently, tapping her foot and crossing her arms.

"Guys. Come here" Lily said softly. She had managed to slip to the other side of the room without the others noticing. She was looking down at the ground. Hurriedly, Joanna and Tally joined her, seeing the view she had. Below them were 3 small screens, each of silent live camera footage. They stood there dumb founded, their breathing hitched, their hearts raced and stoped and raced again. On each screen a new room was found, in the first, Chiara, Alex, and Sarah, all stood and were walking around anxiously. In the next Izzy, Saskia, and Abigail sat still on the ground. In the last. Olivia, Sophie, and Jemima, were all arguing and pointing accusingly at each other.

They were not alone in this, not even close. In each room a word could be seen painted in red on the walls. Let, The, games, begin.
