"Eve!" I called with low breath.

"You're out of shape, don't you work out?"

"I don't know," I huffed.

"Well now's a good time to start," Eve laughed continuing disappearing in and out of my sight.

I stopped between the business buildings catching my breath. This whole place looks abandoned. It's not that the building themselves look bad, but rather, this whole place just seems lifeless. I mean even in games aren't there NPC's or something?

I stood noticing that I've lost sight of the pink haired girl. Damn it she's so small. I'll never find her from here.

My eyes locked on to a pipe attached to one of the one-story buildings. I guess I could climb that and look. I mean I can at least get a better look.

I took a deep breath pulling myself up the rusty metal. It wasn't a hard climb but, Eve is right, I need to work out or something. I reached the top of the flat headed store gazing over the small town.

I peered across the small world we have. No sight of her. You'd think one hyper active girl would be easy to find in a ghost town.

"Eve!" I called into the emptiness.

"Come on this isn't funny. I have no idea how to get back," I huffed.

There was no reply. Great. Well maybe she will realize that I'm not following her anymore.

I sat in the gravel on top of the building staring into the blackness. I don't have many thoughts, I really am a blank. It's just strange really. I never knew that the mind could be so cold and so, well empty.

I wonder where I am. I mean does this world have a name, everyone just calls it The Game. Not a very creative name if you ask me. But, I guess with no idea who we are it's not unbelievable that we couldn't think of anything else.

Is it wrong I follow them? The idea just dawned upon me. Is it wrong to be following those three? I don't really know the difference between right and wrong. Do I decide? Or does the Killer decide? If I'm following the morals of a Killer does it make me bad? Is it wrong what he's doing? I think so, yeah, he's bad. So the Killer is bad, but what is good? Am I good? Is Eve, Alice, or How good? I think we're all just trying to survive.

Survival. He wants up to find clues. That's the game if I understand so far. How do we get clues? Do those three have any clues? What is a clue for that matter?

This is a game right? Then it shouldn't be hard to find the first clue right? A game gets progressively harder as it goes on. A game is designed to stump the player but, it's not too hard otherwise all the players would quit. Then again, quitting means death. He wouldn't make it impossible, if it were impossible then why even bother in make a game out of it? The Cellphone Killer wants us to discover who he is. He wants us to beat this game. But, why?

I have no idea who I was but, I can decide who I am now. How would he win this game? How would he do it? He's playing with us like we're dolls. In order to think like a killer I'd have to clear my morals away. Well, good thing I don't know right and wrong.

A scream echoed through the night. I stood quickly searching for the source. A blue light erupted on a street over from where I stood. My eyes widened, breaking my thought. Eve.

I climbed down the pipe with hurry rushing to the location of the light. Panic filled me. I have no idea how to fight. What if she's in danger? What could I do? I was next to useless when I first meet them. Nothing has changed.

I turned the corner to see Eve starring devilishly at me. I stopped running seeing the strange gun locked in her hand. She made the light. I searched around the area to see it bare and empty.
