The Game Masters Obsession

A Race to Hell

Agent Liz's POV:

"Your late-to late, it's so sad that you have missed our date. Well that's strike one for you, who would have knew? Now you have to hurry, strike two might come but don't worry. You have three, you see. But my next victim can barely see, can't wait to meet you-then it's just you and me. Her name is that of something pretty, she's nice she's smart she's fun and witty. Her name lives up in the sky, her name is included in a children's lullaby. So hurry up-and find her now, how you'll find her before three I don't know how!
~The Game Master" No! I, I can never win. The next clue was written in an angry but precise way. I hate him, I hate him so much. Slowly I slid down the wall and cried into my hands. There had been to many deaths because of him. To him this was just a fun and carefree game, and he was the master of all the levels. He is the boss, and I am and underdog gamer who keeps failing the levels. I cried even harder at the thought.
"Um, agent Liz? Did you perhaps know this victim?" Barney asked?
I looked up at him, get a grip frizzy Lizzy. Wiping my tears, I stood up slowly and looked at the victim.
"Ella?" I asked in disbelief. Wait, why Ella? "Barney, what are all the names of the victims that the Game Master has killed?"
"That would be-in order: Cherry B. Ivvanna G. Kendal K. Malicia K. Carry K. And Ella W. That is all so far agent Liz." Barney said. Cherry? Ivvanna, Kendal, Malicia, Carry and Ella. I know them all! They are all friends or family, and, why is he targeting them? I looked up at his new clue, who do I know that fits the clue I thought. Hmmmm, lives in the sky, children's lullaby.... NO!!! My daughter, not my daughter. Yelling with rage, I blew past my team and raced down the stairs. He said to find her by three, it was already two thirty. I hoped into my car and sped away. He couldn't have her. She was to smart, she is mine-you can't take her I scream in my head. I pushed the gas pedal down harder, I didn't see the stop light-nor the semi coming at the passenger side of my car. Then I blacked out. I saw nothing, I couldn't comprehend anything. I couldn't think, I couldn't breath. I was trapped, in a cage, I couldn't move.
"LIZ!!!! LIZ HOLD ON IM COMING, DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES!!" These words seemed to penetrate the fog, what was going on? B-Barney, is that you? I felt my body being pulled up and out of my cage, I was free. Oh my head. Groaning I blinked open my eyes to see Barney laying me down gently on the ground. What happened? Where am I? Did I-Oh God!!
"B-Barney, we have to go, he's after my daughter!! Please we have to get going!" I said panicking. I stood up shakily, moaning as the world spun around me. Then I looked at him, and he understood me. Bending down he picked me up piggyback style and took off running towards my daughters apartment. After what seemed like eternity we arrived there, only to be intercepted by a concerned neighbor who held my crying niece.
"Jaycee, are you okay honey?" I asked in concern. She had a black eye, and a very deep gash on her cheek. At my question she cried even harder. I looked at the clock, two fifty seven. I told Barney to watch her and see to her wounds, as I slowly made my way into her apartment building. It took a while to get to the second floor, because every step made my head spin faster, but by the time I got to her door it was to late. The door was knocked of its hinges, and her house was a complete mess. No, tears began to fall as I made my way further into her house. As I came closer to the living room, I froze. A pale hand jutted out from around the corner. I dropped my gun, and ran into the room. NOOOOOO!!!!!!
