It seemed like a couple of hours had passed after the first appearance of Grey.
They were talking for awhile but everyone became exhausted because that is all they were doing, just talking. There was no solid answer on why they were there. It was all just speculation.
They came to an agreement and decided to stop talking to save some energy. This was a smart thing to do. Some of them were so hungry that grumbling of stomachs were heard about every thirty minutes, it felt like. They were also very thirsty due to the drugs that were pumped into their system.
It felt like they were there for more than a couple of days. They weren't too sure because none of them had a watch and there were no clocks that were visible in the suprisingly clean but cold room.
Someone decided to break their earlier agreement as they came up with a somewhat foolish idea,
"Does anyone have their phones on them? Check to see! Maybe, we could call the police?" Orange said in a hopeful tone.
Everyone started to get excited and they all rushed to check to see if they had their phones on their person. It was futile though because Grey wouldn't have been so stupid. They didn't find them. They all deflated at nearly the exact same moment. The hope they had passing out of their bodies like a fine mist.
"What the fuck is wrong with this person? What did we do to deserve this! Can't you see that we're suffering, you asshole?!?" Red looked directly at the camera and shouted.
She started to yank on her chains and started making as much noise as possible, hoping that Grey actually came back to tell them what the hell was going on. Everyone silently stared at her, wondering what she thought she was doing.

Grey stared at the computer monitors that was directly in front of them. They were suprised that the prisoners did nothing to try and get out of their restraints, they were almost disappointing. They wanted to see them fight!
Grey knew that they were much more capable of evil acts although they tried to hide it. They all tried to bury what they had done. They were absolutely despicable beings and deserved every single thing that was coming to them.
They sat in front of those monitors for a couple of hours until they became extremely bored with how they were just sitting still like dolls. Until the short lady started cursing and rattling her chains. She started to scream something at them so Grey decided to turn up the nearly silent audio connected to the camera until they heard exactly what the harsh looking woman was saying.
"...Fuck is wrong with you? What did we do to deserve this? Can't you see that we're suffering, you asshole?!?" She shouted while looking directly at the camera.
Finally this is getting sort of exciting, thought Grey in an almost animalistic sadistic glee.
"Are they ready for what I have in store for them? I don't think so," smirked Grey.
"Maybe, it's time I made my second dramatic appearance!"

"Please stop! What are you doing? Do you want Grey to come back and punish us!" Green started whisper shouting to Red in fear.
"That's exactly what I fucking want to happen! We are literally sitting ducks here! Don't you want to know why we're here?" She aggressively responded.
"Of course we want to know why we're here! This will just make Grey mad! We don't know what they're capable of!" Blue responded in the same manner to Red.
Before the argument could get completely out of hand, the door slammed open again. Same as before, it was exactly what Red had hoped to accomplish. Grey made their second appearance and everyone, except Red, cowered backwards as they realized that they had a sharp knife held tightly in their grasp.
"Hmm, I guess you got what you wanted. Didn't you, midget?" Taunted Grey as they got closer to where Red was propped up to her post.
"Don't call me that! What do you mean?" Red started off sharply and then she slowly ended in a soft voice as she recognized that she made a grave mistake, possibly putting herself and others in more danger than she thought possible.
"I heard everything you were saying about me. You just happened to catch my attention, you're quite intriguing to watch! Unlike the others..." Grey strolled closer and closer with every word until they stopped directly in front of Red. They crouched and got in Red's face.
"...see, there's only one thing. I told you what would happen if you disobeyed my rules, Red! Originally, I said everyone would get punished but this once, I'm taking it easy on the others. They did try to warn you!"
As Grey said this, they held Red's chin in a tight grasp and brought the knife up slowly in Red's face. Red looked terrified as she realized what was about to happen.
She began to beg and plead. All Grey did was laugh and paid no mind to all the grovelling that she was doing. They took the knife and made small, jagged cuts on Red's face going as slow and as torturous as possible.
Red began crying, making small gasping and sniffling sounds, and everyone watched on in horror as her face become more grotesque and disfigured with the cuts. It was a horrible experience in general and some people couldn't help getting emotional themselves.
When Grey decided that Red got enough they stopped and said with a slight sing-song voice,"Let this be a warning to anyone who do not follow my rules. The punishments will be more severe and you won't get off as easily. Oh, and don't help Red. She doesn't deserve your kindness or help!"
Red came to a sudden understanding that Grey was talking to her and she bowed her bleeding face, slightly broken and completely ashamed of herself. She was also very angry but she hid it well.
"On to other things, the games will begin much sooner than expected. You know exactly who to thank for this development! So get some rest because the events will begin tomorrow morning!" Grey jumped up to their feet and started moving around in excitement.
"Aren't we going to get any food? I'm hungry..." Blue whispered in a small tone, still slightly shocked and traumatized with what happened moments ago.
"Nope! You have to earn that, remember?"
