Maze of Demise Project

Chapter 2

A/N : It's heeere! Chapter 2 ＼(^o^)／
-------------------------------------------------
Stan's P.O.V

"How to acquire the Maze of Lives boardgame."

That was the first line I read from the first page of the notebook.

"First,gather people more than 4 for players." I continued. "Have a candle for each 'player'. Light the candle and form a circle and chant,'Spiel, erscheinen ! stellen uns Ihre Unterhaltung!' While holding hands and spinning for 3 times. This will guarantee you to get the boardgame."

Shammie laughed. "This is stupid! This is obviously just a prank! What language is that anyway?! Don't you think so too,Stan?"

"I...I don't know... That's why we're here to investigate it." I replied,unsure.

"That's right. This could just be a fake notebook that someone set up as a prank." Tyler said. "Do you really believe stuff like these exist?"

Nico took the notebook and shook his head. "Look,Tyler,all of us here aren't sure whether or not the legend is real. But look at this!" He pointed to the cover of the notebook,it was old and crusty. He flipped around the pages and they were the same. "This thing is really old! Like its been stored for 10 years!"

Tyler raised his eyebrow. "So what? Its possible for someone to have a notebook as old like that. I,myself have a notebook that I've been keeping for 8 years."

"What the hell,dude." Robin told him. "What do you need that for?"

"Is it a diary?! With your secrets in it?!" Summer asked excitedly.

Tyler glared at the two of them. "You guys don't need to know."

Summer pouted. "How lame."

"What Tyler is saying about the notebook is true..." June said. "But there is proof that notebook is the real deal."

"What proof do you have?" Shammie inquired.

"That." June said,pointing at the first page of the notebook. Red writings had appeared on the page. Red writings that weren't there before.

"W-what the heck!" Robin screamed in surprise. "That wasn't there before!!"

"Alright,who wrote this?!" Shammie asked,furiously. "Stop the pranking,guys."

The red writings read,"Warning: Since you have read the instructions,you MUST play the game. We will guarantee that you may continue to live afterwards IF you survive it. If you refuse to play, you DIE."

"This writing....it feels as if it was just written but at the same time its like it was here a long time ago..." Mica said.

"What do you mean?" Shammie said.

"Hey guys...if the legend is real...Then what if reading the 'how-to-acquire-the-game' thing is the trigger for this red writing to appear?" I told them. I wasn't exactly sure but it seemed logical.

Nico was shaking beside me,staring at the notebook in shock. "T-that's possible! D-definitely possible! I mean,how?! How could the writing just appear just like that if it were written by a person! Writing something has a sound you know!" He said,his voice shaky.

Suddenly,a laughter was heard from the entire room and voices started speaking,"play the game, play the game!" . The word were said repeatedly. Black mists appeared and started swirling around the room. The wind blew hard in the room making some things fly around. It was like a mini tornado or something.

"W-what's happening?!" Shammie said, fear in her voice. "This isn't funny anymore! Stop it,you prankers!"

"Like I said,this isn't a prank!" I said,trying to act brave. "Can't you hear them?! They're telling us to play the game!"

"I-I don't wanna!" Nico screamed,gripping my arm tight,his eyes closed. "I don't wanna die!"

"Don't you get what the writing said,Nico?!" I told him. "If you don't play you die! If we all play,we have a tiny bit of chance of survival! That's better isn't it?!"

Nico nodded,his face clouded with confusion.

"What is your decision,what choice do you make?" The voices asked.

"WE AGREE,WE'LL PLAY YOUR STUPID GAME!" I screamed at them. The voices laughed and said,"Well then,enjoy and good luck!" The black mists lunged at us and disappeared. The raging wind also stopped and became calm again.

"Good job,Stan. You agreed to make us all play in a deathly game." Tyler said,mockingly.

"Whatever. It's better than refusing to play then dying." I told him.

"What if it's a lie?! We'd still all die!" Summer said,worriedly.

"Then what if it isn't? We already made a choice and we just need to see what'll happen after this." I told her.

Afterwards,we checked the notebook and new writings had appeared below the red ones.
It read,"Summon the boardgame before this week ends, or ELSE. EVERYONE must participate."

I guess we really have no choice but to play this.

We're dead. Really,dead.

A/N : And that's that ;D Cliffhanger ending again,heheh. Sorry if the ritual thingy for the notebook was kinda lame XD Also the chant was german. Basically the chant said,"Game,appear! Present us with your amusement." The chant was supposed to be greek but meh. Please leave a comment or vote,thank you~
