Lewis's POV.
I woke up, expecting and hoping not to be in that house. I woke up in a rather unfamiliar place.. Seemed to look like a school building...

I stood up, I looked around, I was the only one in the room... I didn't have an electric band on! I was so grateful we weren't in that game again...

"Everyone, meet in the cafeteria for instructions. We have a newcomer today so we need to explain the rules..."

I think I spoke too soon.

By the looks of it, I was in some kind of classroom. I walked outside. I saw signs pointing to the cafeteria. I walked there...

I saw everyone that had survived the flicker game... Even those who were voted out!

I saw Harry, Demi, Taylor, Selena, Billie... But that was all for those who didn't survive...

I walked up to Harry.

"Hey..." I said as I tapped his shoulder. "Is... James here?"

"No. Thanks to what you did, he, along with all the others who died won't be coming back..."

My heart sank then I heard a familiar voice..

BRITTANY IS HERE?!?!?!?!?!

She walked up to me and rubbed her eyes.

"Lewis!! You're okay!!!" She cried as she ran to hug me.

Suddenly the loudspeaker started to static. The same female voice we hear all the time appeared on the loudspeaker.

"We have changed a few things in this game... First of all, only three evils. A murderer, an assassin, and one of either scout, dark psychic, or witch. There is a new player playing with us. She is Lewis Capaldi's girlfriend. Her name is Brittany Maggs. Welcome, Brittany.

As you can see we also changed the map from that old house to this school, We also made some modifications to the bands. We aren't doing the bangles anymore. If you are a role that usually provides information, like detective, psychic, is spy, then a piece of paper will appear in your pocket telling you the information that you asked for.

A couple other things that have changed is what happens to those who are voted out so if the savior wants to revive someone who was voted out. They can. Also. You won't be asleep. Everyone that isn't a survivor, twin, or detective will get a flashlight that only they can see. No one else can see the light coming out of it, so if the murderer kills someone. Not even the person who died knows who the murderer is.

What's written on your paper with your role on it is invisible to everyone but you. If you're a twin or assassin. It will tell you your other twin or murderer. If you are savior or medic. You have one revive as savior and one self heal as medic. Each role has abilities, goals, and behaviors. You will be given your roles now..

I opened the paper that was in my pocket... And my eyes widened in horror...

"Your role is MURDERER"

I don't want to kill my friends. I'm not going to be responsible for the death of someone's close friend.....

Brittany walked up to me. I hope to god she is on the evil team...

"Lewis, I'm the assassin." She whispered. THANK MY LUCKY STARS!!

I nod my head. Wait... What about Niall? What if I have to kill him? Oh no! Please no!

Niall walked up to us.

"Hey Lewis. I'm on good team. But I can't say exactly what role." 

I didn't want to lie to Niall. But if I had to protect him... I can't lose him the way I lost James Arthur.

"I'm good too," I said to him.

"OK I believe you. No need to check."

CHECK??? HE WAS THE PSYCHIC!!!!

I smiled, and he left me and Brittany to talk amongst ourselves.

"So who is first?" Brittany asked me. I was confused.

"Do you mean, to kill?" I asked.

She nodded. Harry walked up to us.

"Hey, Lew! No hard feelings. For last game?" He laughed, kind of a fake laugh.

"Uh yea.... I mean... I guess..." I said.

"Great!" He punched my shoulder like he was my best bro. Sorry Harry, but that title belongs to Niall.

Suddenly, the lights start to flicker. Oh God. I'm not ready!

As the lights go completely out, I search my pocket for tonight's weapon. A knife.....

I just want to get this over with... I decide that Harry was going to be my first target...

I shone my flashlight to find him. I found him next to Charlie Puth. I pulled out my knife....

Suddenly. It felt like something possessed me... Like an urge... Once I chose my victim, I was tamped to kill...

... And i did...

Once Harry lay dead. The urge left my body, I stood staring at the body.... Suddenly, I saw Charlie lying dead next to him too!

I killed the twins........

I ran off, and the lights flickered back on....
