We all enter the mercy at the requested time which was 8 pm I run my eyes "didn't get any sleep" avery asks. "I was texting rohan" I say honestly with a smile "disgusting" jamesons says listening in. We're handed a card with the word open I lock eyes with Rohan, excitement building through Me, he flashes a big smile. "Open it up" he says we all do, and suddenly there's a big poof. As powder explodes in our face and suddenly my legs go weak beneath me. I wake up next to Avery and my brothers in a castle like house and as I stand up I see other join including my brother "you girls good" Nash asks We nod. As everyone gets up I see someone tap my shoulder. I turn Rohan. I give him a smile. As pecks my cheek "your biggest enemy is the house don't trust me, I won't go easy on you" he says. Moving away from me faster then light. As the other wake up. "What did he say" My brothers ask "That he won't go easy on me just because he Likes me" i say. "In this house, there's a hidden no. Of keys And in this house they shall be. Find the key unlock the chest. Put together the puzzle, then you may rest. Less is more, so let that be true. In this game, there are no rules. If threats or alliance or betrayals are, must just no in the end it's every man for themselves and maybe you cone out alive with a hint of luck." He rhymed I printed the words in my mind. "You have 24 hours" he says ringing the bell. As every split in different direction I didn't move "In this house they shall be, this isn't a house it's a place, that seems like a stretch but it's the only theory forming in my mind. I look, around to see a dollhouse my brain clicks I run up to it, finding a a key hidden under the little wooden bed. As my brother surrounded me I examine the key throughly. "There has to be a hint on the key" Jameson says. I jod looking all over for somthing and then I find it a snake. I look around the house for somthing related to snakes. As I rush up and down the stairs I bumb into a breathless Avery "found it in the terrarium" he hold up "did you get bit?" Jameson asks "Yeah but it's not poisoouness" Avery says. I look at the key and realzive it had a eye scratched on it. What around here could be eye shaped we run around the house up and down, till we reach the Kitchen everything has a eye on it. I look around again there five keys we have two we Zelda has one we need to find them before her. I decide to look through the dishes lifting lampshade. "No monkey dont-" grasyon calls out but it's to late, it was a trap. I am handcuffed. "Go on without me, find the key hurry up!" I say as they kepe on examining the things Jameson gose to lift up a bowl :dint there could be more traps no until you're sure!" I say they nod looking through the massive kitchen. Rohan comes and walk over to me, "you're trapped the other are trapped, only you're team is free" he says "Oh and you wouldn't be so kind to undo my handcuff" I say "I told you love, I won't go easy on you" he says before leaning in closer to my ears "but I must say the handcuffs are a very dangerously delicious look on you" he whispers I let pit a chukle my attention fals to a xan whose waving his hands in the air like a mad man. Pokect he signals I look over to rohan back pokect and suddenly it clicks. As he keeps whispering sweet nothings into my ear I slowly slip my fingers in his pocket and pull out the chit. I put some distance between us and wave the chit. "Well open it." He says the scarwl reads *answer a question and the clue is yours* I look up "what's the question?" I ask with a gulp. "Have your forgotten all that trauma you're brothers put you through all those years?" He asks I freeze. "I have forgiveness them i love them" i say "yes you do, but have you forgotten," he aks again "I didn't hold any grudges with them, it's all forgiven. It's in the past" I say firmly. "I know you have love, but don't deny the question have you forgotten what they did" he asks again. I freeze "this is not even a question it's all in the past" Jameson is the first to speak up, and he receives nods of agreement. "I didn't ask you, I asked Hailey" he turns to me again "Tell me now, honestly, have you forgotten the crulitues you're brother put you through, not forgiven but *forgotten*?" He says I can't deny the question anymore "No, and I will meverbbe able to" I say my voice cracking slightly, I'm given stares, of Hurt, of disappointment and of betrayal. "The key, is to work it out" Rohan says. Walking away, I'm confused "wait, what's the clue, open the cuffs, rohan!!!" I shout "Sorry love not all for the game!" He shouts back. "Monkey, you still feel left out?" Nash asks "No, but I have forgotten how I was" I confess, "But we're trying" grasyon says "Yeah, I know but I don't. Want to let myself belive this is more than a pity phase" I say "Expect disappointment and you will never be disappointed" Jameson says I nod. "Well you should know were not doing this for pity, at first maybe we didn't realzie the extent of our...." xan trail off "Cruelty" Avery fills in he nods "But we do Hailey we really do, and I think I'm saying what everyone's thinking, were all scared of u rather than for u" janesonnsasy causing me to giggle. As the handcuffs click open "The key is to work it out, work out the conflict" I say. Looking at the handcuffs realizing there's a compartment, i click it open to see a different laungage scribbled. "Is that latin, Greek, somthing else?" I ask showing the paper to Grayson. The expert *συνδέστε τις τελείες* written on the chit. "It's Greek it mean connect the dots" grasyon says "Oh!" Avery scremas we all look at her "Snake, eyes, facing conflict" Avery says "Aka, facing and Greek, it's medusa!" Xan calls "And every time medusa faces someone's eyes they turn to stone!" Nash says "The stone wall" I say and they all run with me to the massive stone wall with a small fireplace on the bottom. It's us and Zella, "Zella has two and you have two so whoever gets the key first wins" Rohan says, my first instinct is to climb but the second is to let Jameson do it while I take the msrt route, I go around the house and take the stairs to the attic from the attic I go calculating the best I could to make a whole where the stone wall with the key would be. I use on the old lampshade to dustroy the roof. Before poking my head out I need to hand out a little I secure myself to a table leg, using the handcuffs, and drag myself out of the hole. Reaching for the key, when I realzie that the third player was calling behind Jameson to pick pocket his key. "Jamie the keys" I shout, as Jameson flicks of the other person. He Crashes on the floor. Now it's just me and zella. A third person jumps. Trying to fight zella for her keys amd she tries to fight him off but ends up slipping only holding onto the stone. With one hand. "Ahhh" she scremas I curse under my breathe I need to jump for yhe keys, or zella and I only get to go it once. "Be ready to catch" I call out to my brothers and they start spreading out. I undo my handcuff and with a massive leap I lunge landing on the top ledge, I drop the key down and as my brother's look for it I attempt to pull up zella and fail, "will you trust me?" I ask She nods. I manage to slip between the wall and her "hold on" I tell her as she clings to my waits. We're three stories up, there no she will make I dinw safely. I lower myself. As slowly as possible pain rifling thru my body I can't hold her up much longer. "Im going to swing, and you're going to jump!" I call out, and she nods. I push and pull myself swinging on the ledge before swing zella into the third floor balcony, I feel my hand slip inlwt pit a huge screme as I feel my hand slip on the ledge. I fall with speed but somehow lunge and reach for the first floor railing only grabbing it merely by the end. I look down and trying to climb up I look towards my brother still on a cahde for the key while Avery got the fourth from zella, I feel my hand slip. As I shout ready to fall I feel steady hands catch me "Well how courgeous of you love" he says putting me down gently he shoves a stand of hair away from my face, I smile. "Got it!!" Grasyon shouts I run. I run to the 5 chests in the living room. And open them all. I look at the pecies inside there some type of wooden plate. I click them together. To from a cuboid of sorts. Befire i finally realzie taht the occurs arnt the pusszle the lids of the chests could interlock with one another at a certain angle, as Avery and my brother rip of the lids I fix them together to make a door. The same door where we all woke up. I look at it and turn the knob, another smoke coming in, all of us fainting. ____________________________ A/n hey guys please tell me of ur enjoying this Hailey and roham thing cuz I want to continue it.
