Waking Up Somewhere Else

New Place, New People

Chasity woke up, yawning and stretching. She looked around and her blood ran cold. Where was she? She didn't recognize this place at all. She got out of the bed and looked around the room. There was a big TV in the room, along with a few paintings of a woman in white with black hair. There was a white carpet and the walls were white while the floor was black. She looked in the corner and realized there was also a camera. She stared into it and crawled on top of her bed to reach it. She tried tapping on it and it didn't move. Then, she tried pulling it down. It was pretty firmly put onto the wall, though, so she couldn't do anything to it. She sighed and sat on her bed right as the TV turned on. 

The TV showed the same woman in white as the paintings. She was smiling and had a mask covering her eyes. Then, she opened her mouth to speak. 

"Hello, my lovelies. Welcome to my little game. You all have been hand picked to participate in this lovely game. Now, here are the basics of it: 

You will try to escape my mansion while trying to avoid being killed by the murderer among you all. Yes, there is a murderer among you all, and your other task will be to find out and murder the murderer!"

The woman cleared her throat, "Doesn't that sound lovely, my children?" She smiled and clasped her hands together, giggling. Chasity couldn't believe what she was hearing. This has to be a dream! She slapped herself in the face to check. It stung like it was real, so she knew she was awake. Then, she heard a click. She looked to the door and realized that it was now unlocked and opening. She sighed and got up, going to the door and opening it more. Then, she went through and looked to the side to see 6 other people. They all looked around to each other, confused. Then, one stepped forward. She had orange hair in a pony tail, a green crop top, and light blue ripped jeans. She had her hands on her hips and she stood in front of everyone. 

"We should introduce ourselves to everyone, so we know who we are." The orange haired girl said. "First off, I'm Lydia." Then she pointed to a short guy with light brown hair and a striped shirt. 

"O-oh! I'm Michael." The guy said. She pointed to the next person, who was a tall girl with long, dark green hair. She had pink, flowy clothes on. 

"I'm Nadium, or just Nadi." The tall girl said. 

The next guy said, "I'm Randall." He had black hair that was pushed to the side and a low, red V-neck. 

Next was Chasity, "I'm Chasity..." She said, shaking. She had blonde hair and pastel blue clothes. 

Then, a tall boy in somewhat formal clothes answered with, "Hello, I am Nicholas, or Nick." He had white gloves on. 

Lastly, a short girl in all pink and who had red hair said, "I'm Kayla!" 

Lydia nodded and looked around. 

"Okay, good! Now let's look around and figure this place out... We need to find an exit, although I don't really think it'll be that easy to escape." Lydia declared, walking out of the room and through an arch. Everyone else looked to each other, confused, but then split up and looked around. 

Michael, Nadium, and Randall were all in a group together, even though they had no idea who the other two were. They had walked to the kitchen and looked around. 

"So..." Nadium started, grabbing a knife out of the knife holder. "Do you really think there's a murderer among us?" She looked up to the other two. Michael was looking in a cabinet while sitting on the counter and Randall was looking in the fridge. 

"Nah." Said Randall, "That was probably just to scare us." Michael glanced over, worriedly. He didn't seem convinced that it was fake. 

Nadium replied with, "Ah, yeah... I wonder how easy it is to murder someone and get away with it though." She stared at her reflection in the knife, having a blank expression. The two boys looked over at her, furrowing their eyebrows in confusion and worry.
