Introduction

Third person P.O.V

    The last 3 contestants were standing in the middle of the carpet. In front of the dirty couches where drops of blood have been. Looking at the speakers, waiting for the next announcement to be made. It was dead silent. Unfortunately, only 1 will get out or maybe 2 if they guessed correctly. That sounds impossible, if they get the answer wrong, the murdered will still be on the loose, against an innocent person. Will they ever get to leave this place? In the end, whoever wins gets a billion dollars.

After a while of more silence the guy decided to break the silence and pointed fingers blaming who was the murdered. The 3 of them were arguing who may be the murder and why. Nonstop arguing, claiming true and false statements.

Out of all the sudden, there was noise in the speaker that is loud and clear for everyone to hear.

"Congratulations contestants, am glad you made it so far. Unfortunately, it seems like our little game is about to end. It was fun while it lasted, you can now all proceed and may now insert your last vote."

Everybody proceeds to insert their last vote before hearing noise coming out of speakers again.

"_____ Has been voted out."

"______________ the murderer."

First person P.O.V

    It was 6:30 a.m. in the morning. I look myself in the mirror. I know this might sound a bit cocky but here I go and introduce myself. I'm Amaya a girl who lives in Los Angeles, California. Getting ready for my job since my boss is very strict and gets mad when I arrive at work late. I hurried, out of my apartment door. Making sure I close and locked the door before I started walking. A few minutes later, while being also a few blocks away. A black van appeared right next to me parking. Some random people came out and walked towards me.

"Excuse me ma'am can you please help me" the younger boy asked me.

When I was about to respond yes. Suddenly I was covered with a black bag over my head. I tried to scream but then I was shoved to a car. Tied up, so I can't escape. Breathing heavily, begging to be let out but instead was told to shut up.  More than 30 minutes had passed now. I heard the same little boy who asked for help say, "It's okay ma'am, you are just going to a party." Beyond at the point I was upset. Never trust anyone even if they are just little kids.

Heard them get out of the van again and shove a new person in, screaming and begging just like how I did. I told them to give up because no matter how much they screamed, they are not going to let you out. Thought out the ride more and more people in the van. There was 4 other people including me. I can hear a person crying, it was getting annoying but since no one said anything, I didn't either.

Finally, it seems like we reach the destination. Never knew this would happen and change my life forever. Forced once again, but now this time out of the car. Led to some random place and hand me some clothes? At first, I was confused until the random person spoke saying "There is only one rule, that is to hide your identity." Then after that it was completely silent.

"Am going to untie and take your blind fold off now, you will be locked in this room until everyone is done changing. Once you're done press the red button next to the door, that will let us know you're ready and you will be allowed to leave you room." ?? said and looked at me pausing then continued and said, "Do you understand?"

I nodded my head but didn't say anything.

"Hide your identity at all costs." Those were the last words they said, untying and took the blindfold off me. I saw them leave through the door and heard a *click* noise. Am guessing that am now locked in here until am ready. There was a letter on top of a nightstand, opening it not questioning myself.

"Your role is _____, this is your new name is Adeline"...

Changing into some new pair of clothes. Surprisingly they fit me. They also left a wig and some brand new make up for me to put on. Gosh, what is this mess and where am I? questioning myself nonstop. The thoughts ran cross my mind, not letting go. Took a deep breath and got ready. It was about time to be finished, walked towards the door and pressed the button. Seems like some other people weren't quite ready yet.

Another *click* was heard. I rushed and opened the door. So many other random people were there. I breathed a sigh of relief that I wasn't the only one here. But still I felt bad for myself and those people around me being kidnapped and forced to be brought here just like me. I couldn't even keep count how many people were in total. It seems quite a lot. Remembering what the little boy said to me "It just a party". Then what type of party is this? If only my questions would be answered but for now, I guess I'll stay in confusion just like everyone else.

I wanted to get out of this mess. I just need to find out how, like said earlier don't trust anyone. They can all be liars and be dangerous just like that little kid. Lot of people started to great each other like if they were here in this place before. Not even worrying what would happen next. What is wrong with all of these people? I lean on the wall not making a move. I spotted some random guy leaning on the kitchen counters staring at me. That gave me goosebumps and an uncomfortable feeling.

I really just wished this was just another one of those crazy dreams I had. I flick myself and even pinch myself, but nothing seemed to work. This wasn't a dream.

"Hello contestants-
