I slowly woke up with a dull ache in my head. 'What the hell?' I mutter. I look around to find myself in a musty old living room.

I heard groaning behind me. I froze. I slowly turn my head to see....

My freinds?! 'Where the hell are we?' Austin asks as she rubs her head. My head immediately snaps to Luke. 'Luke I swear to god if this one of your stupid pranks I'm going to murder you' Luke puts his hands up surrender 'it wasn't me I swear I wouldn't have put myself here' true

'How about we just go and look around maybe there's an exit?' Alex suggests I agree to that. We stand up and start walking around, any door we try is locked so are the windows some of them where even boarded up.

'Ooo I'm going to murder you!' A weird voice says behind us, Alex and Austin both screamed like girls while I turned around only to see Luke dying of laughter.

'Luke we don't have time for you jokes right now!' I exclaim, the two boys stop screaming while I slap the back of Luke's head.

'Ow!' I roll my eyes, we keep walking around until we got to a familiar room. It's the room we woke up in. I groan 'we were walking in circles' 'hello players!' a spooky voice says 'luke quit it!' alex exclaims. 't-that wasnt me' he stutters. I look to see his face pale as paper pointing at something behind me.

'what is it now?' I groan, my demeanor immediately changed when I turned around.

there floating at the top of the stairs was a g-ghost?! 'Welcome Luke ,Austin, Alex and Dahliah to the games of horror!' 'what!?' the four of us exclaim. the ghost floats down, we immediately back away from the it.

austin grabs a candle waving it around, 'stay back!' I facepalm, 'dude its a ghost a candle wont hurt it' luke deadpans. 'oh' 'what do you want and why are we hear' I ask. 'and how the hell do you know our names?' alex asks.

'well first you've been chosen to play the games of horror, and second its a secret.' the games of horror? we all exchange a look to see if anyone knows about it but no one does. 'how do we get out of here?' 'the only way to get out is to play'

we all look at each other again 'should we?' 'we dont really have a choice.' I sigh 'fine what are the rules?' 'three games, you have to survive each game to escape. you can use whatever in this building to help you.' the ghost says. 'ok fine when do we start?' austin asks.

'first game is creepy hide and seek' creepy hide and seek? whats so creepy about it? 'you will have 10 minutes to hide, a alarm will go off to tell you when the game has started.' 'rock,paper,siccors on whose seeking?' luke suggest.

the ghost chuckles, 'you will all be hiding, the seekers with be your puppets' puppet? I dont have a puppet. then we hear small footsteps coming down the stairs, we look past the ghost to see, four puppets each one looking like one of us.

'h-h-how are they moving on their own?' alex stutters. we all take a step back as the approach us, 'they will be seeking you, you will hide for one hour. if you get caught.....well lets just say you wont see the outside of this building again.'

'wait what do you mean?!' I ask, the ghost ignores me and says 'let the game begin!' Before I could ask anyone else the boys bolted from the room. 'tik tok' the ghost says smirking. a second later I run out of the room, all of a sudden all the doors are unlocked. there's a library, dining room, several bedrooms, bathrooms even a kitchen.
