The Never Ending Game

Chapter 1: The Beginning

"Well thats it for this show of hunger games. Hope all you dudes enjoyed it...." Mitch went on with his outro. Once he finished he stopped recording, and exited his server. He finished another day of recording, but now he needs to edit it which will take some time. Mitch stretches and looks over to his clock to see it's already midnight. He rubs his eyes from exhaustion and exits out of his Minecraft. He then turns off his computer, and gets up from his chair to leave his recording room. As he leaves the room he looks around his set up and leaves the room, turning off the lights as he did so. He walks up the stairs, dragging his feet up until he reaches his room. Mitch looks over to his bed, and just flops on it as he drifts off to sleep.

Light floods through his room, making everything brighter. Mitch snores as he is still sleeping, with drool dripping out of his mouth. The distant tick of the clock could be heard from downstairs, waiting for Mitch to wake up. Mitch's mouth twitches as he arises from his slumber. His eyes flutter open and he lifts himself up. He uses his sleeve to wipe off the saliva from his face. He stretches, and he jumps off his bed to go down and make some breakfast. It is 8:54 and the birds were not singing yet. Mitch didn't notice it, and continues to look around his fridge for some milk for his cereal. Mitch sets down his bowl with the cereal and pours the milk. He groggily eats it his mind still in the clouds. With the last slurp of milk he sets his dish in the sink. He washes it and goes to watch some tv on his comfy couch. When he turns it on all he gets is static. He's confused as he keeps switching channels ,but still gets static. He later gives up on TV and decides to change out of his day old clothes. Once he is in fresh clothes he hears his doorbell.

"Hey Mitch! Guess who's here!" Lachlan yells from his porch.

Mitch looks out his window to see not only Lachlan, but Jerome, Vikk, Preston, and Rob.

"Looks like the whole pack is here!" Mitch yells in reply.

He rushes down the stairs to open the door for his friends. Once he reaches it ,the pack practically barge through the door. They all had a bag with them, looks like they are going to stay for a bit. Mitch welcomes them into his humble home. They all set down their bags on the ground as they rest down on the couch.

"What brings you here, gentlemen?" Mitch asks as he tries to squeeze into a small space on the couch.

"Well we just wanted to visit our favorite Benja." Jerome replies.

"So guys should we vlog for our fans to see the pack is together?" Rob brings up.

"Yeah we should." Vikk says.

"Well lets bring out my trusty camera for this occasion" Lachlan says as he gets up to get his camera.

He reaches for his bag, and rummages through his bag for his camera. He finally finds it and turns it on for their vlog.

"So what's up guys, it's your boy Lachlan here with some very special dudes." He turns the camera to the rest of the pack, and the all their silly own things, for the fans. Once done with the vlog,Lachlan gets out his laptop to upload the video. He quickly edits it as everyone else settles in. He finishes his video then logs on to his YouTube account. He logs in to see that his welcome video is just static, so he refreshes the page. He checks the video to see it is still static, he clicks on another video but it is also static too.

"Hey Mitch, is your wifi working alright? I can't watch my videos, and I'm scared it could corrupt the vlog." Lachlan yells as his confusion piles up with each static video.

"What? My wifi was working fine yesterday, let me check." Mitch yells from upstairs.

He jumps down and looks on Lachlan's computer. He also gets confused, his wifi should be working fine what happened?

"I don't know what happened, maybe lets do it later." Mitch concludes.

Then a loud ,blood curdling scream emitted from the computer. Mitch got startled, and dropped the laptop to the ground, still emitting the scream. Lachlan falls back from his laptop in fear.

"What the hell is going on?" Jerome yells, as he comes downstairs covering his ears.

The others came down also covering their ears. They saw Lachlan on the ground covering his ears, and Mitch his face stuck in fear covering his ears too. Then as quickly as it happened, the scream stopped and the laptop's screen became static.

"What the hell happened, Mitch?" Lachlan asks, uncovering his ears.

"I....I don't know." Mitch replies, his ears uncovered but still horror struck.

"Mitch? Are you okay man?" Vikk asks as he passes Jerome on the stairs.

He walks up to him to see if he's okay, but when he touched him Mitch flinched and backed away. Vikk pulls back his hand and looks at Mitch.

"S-sorry, I'm just shaken up by that." Mitch says pointing at the laptop.

The pack looks around at eachother, hoping one of them has an answer for what just happened. It was only noon and they were already scared out of their wits. They decided to have lunch then talk about what just happened.

After some fried burgers, and salted veggies, the gang cleaned up and walks over to the static laptop. They look at it as if it was a dead body, standing a safe distance from it.

"Okay, why did it scream?" Preston asks, rubbing his chin as he thinks about the phenomenon.

"Well what ever it was I think it isn't the last of it." Rob says.

"Why is that?" Jerome says.

"Well because my phone also has a static screen, and I don't remember dropping it."

"What is happening? Why does it have to be us?" Mitch asking no one.

It seems that this supposed to be cheerful day turned into a terrifying one for the pack. The others checked their phones to have the same result like Rob. The static had a loud tearing sound that came with it.

"Holy-!" Jerome yells as his phone flashed a bloody face among the static. He drops his phone, hearing it hit the floor, the sound echoing through the house.

"Welcome to my game. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do~." A voice sings through Jerome's phone.

The pack jumps in fear and Mitch runs towards his front door. He unlocks it and tries to turn the knob, but it clicks as if it is still locked. The others come behind him, helping him pull on the handle. The door wouldn't budge and their fear turned quickly into horror, as they lost hope on escaping the house. They gave up to hear a menacing laugh echo through the room, which exactly sounded like Mitch's laugh. The guys turned toward Mitch in fear, but his mouth was shut. He was looking back at them with the same confusion. The laughing stopped and everyone was scared out of their wits.

"Mitch is this a prank?" Vikk asks in fear.

Mitch looks at him and shakes his head. He was shaking from head to toe he should be brave ,but this was too much for him to handle.
