I wake up in a daze. What happened... Where are we? I walk out of my room, and i notice multiple other rooms here. there are ten other rooms with doors like mine on the hall. On my right there is a stairway that goes both up and down. Suddenly another woman bursts out of her room. She has black hair and a red headband. I approach her as I hear a different door creaking behind me, and she jumps.
"Both of you get away from me! Don't hurt me, I swear you'll regret it!" I am a bit offended that she would jump to conclusions like that, but the girl behind me extends her hand.
"Do not worry. We are not harmful. My name is Arielle. What are yours?" Arielle seems to be a kind, caring induvidual. I would like to know her more. The other girl slowly relaxes her muscles and looks at us.
"Cool. I get it. I'm Anna. Guess we're all in the same situation then. So, how about you, 'I'm a spy'? What would we call you?" I blush and stare back. I'm surprised she's so open now. Well, I guess I may as well.
''Nice to meet you, Anna and Arielle. You can call me Aria. Strange how we all start with A, but I won't get so upset over minor things like that." I realize that the door behind me says ''Aria'' on it, as do Arielle and Anna's doors. I guess that's to make sure we don't forget where our rooms are- Wait, what's happening again? Suddenly the door with the word ''Ash'' on it opens. The man with a worried face steps out.
"Oh, hey there. My name's Aria. Those two are Anna and Arielle, and since your door says ''Ash'', I'm guessing that's your name?'' Maybe I was way too confident sounding there. I guess I will have to deal with my mistakes. Soon enough, all 11 of us are standing in the hall. I notice a girl come from downstairs. She has freckles and a red shirt.
''Ummmm... guys, there are even more people." And then, a boy with a white shirt and blonde hair comes upstairs. He seems extremely panicked now when he spots all of us. I hear some commotion on both the upper and lower floors.
"Uhhhh, Charlotte or whatever your name was? There are also more up here. Maybe we should do something." He yells downstairs, and I hear another boy yell.
"Are you serious, Ben? They're both downstairs and upstairs? What will we do to fend them off?" I hear some other people talking downstairs, and now I'm even more worried. How many people are trapped in this building? Before anybody else can speak, a large speaker above the doorway to the stairs begins speaking.
''Please head to the lobby at the bottom floor, everybody. We will tell you what you should know when you arrive."
I quickly rush downstairs with the others. What is happening??? I pass 8 floors below us, all with hallways identical to our own, until we reach the lobby.
Oh my god.
There are one hundred and twenty of us.
The speaker once again tells us all we need to know in our pitiful lives. "So, why are you here? The answer to that question is... A killing game! Ahahahaha! One of you is a secret murderer, and the others don't know it! They must kill everybody in this building to get out alive! I'll inform you of your roles shortly. And, I don't actually feel like explaining the roles this time around. I'll just give your brain all the information you need, and send you on your way!"
I feel a flood of knowledge fill my head. So much to learn... Yet I now feel like I've stared at a paper with it all for a year. Yet, there's a lot I don't understand. Why are we here... What does the mastermind want?
But as i'm questioning this, a thought appears in the back of my brain. One I didn't voluntarily think. It feels as if it was planted into me. But the thought grows, and it consumes my brain. This must be what the mastermind wants me to know.
''You are a survivor"
