The Game with No Winners

Chapter 5

Before I could do anything the girl grabbed my hand and yanked me outside.

"What are you doing", I yell whispered "We could get killed you know what happened to Jennifer". She paused .

"Well what if she is still alive and is in there or something that can help us in this so called game is in there", She said pulling on my wrist. I turned around the house door was shut and the girls were watching through the window.

"Okay I'll go", I said she nodded grimly and we continued to walk through the grass. Every once in a while stepping in a puddle or mud. When we reached the door to the barn I herd movement inside. Cursing myself for not bringing a knife with me. I slowly opened the door when a boy with black hair stepped in front of me scaring me so bad I swung a punch and hit him square in the jaw.

"Ouch", He said rubbing his jaw "you're in my barn you cant hurt me",

"This is your barn", I asked. "Yeah, well my parents", He said as if its the most obvious thing in the world. "Then why are you here". "Because I live here. Iowa".

"What?!", I screeched. "Sorry but now your in nightmare USA".

"What are you talking about".

"Come on", The girl next to me said "I have a bad feeling about this". I nodded and gestured for him to followed. We walked through the grass when we started hearing noises. I heard a scream come from behind us. I turned to get a glimpse of what was happening. The girl was being held around the neck by an arm the face I couldn't see. I picked up the pace and started running the boy following and soon getting in front of me. There was a gun shot and no more screaming coming from the girl. I felt tears but pushed them back and kept running, the person would be coming after me know. I felt so guilty for leaving her back their to die that I kept looking over my shoulder. The boy was almost at the door and I was almost there too when the murderer appeared next to me or at least his shadow. The boy slid into the house and got to his feet. I was almost there when a hand grabbed my ankle. I feel over hitting my head the concrete step leading into the house. The boy took my hand pulling me in side and shutting the door behind me. I slowly got to my feet blood dripped into my right eye. Putting my hand up to my forehead I felt the deep cut. Might need stiches. I looked around everyone was looking at me with shocked looks on there faces.

"You okay", He asked starring at the cut.

"Yeah I'm fine. Can I get a rag", One girl nodded and ran upstairs to the bathroom. We waited for her to come back downstairs. After a few minutes we got worried and ran after her. Upstairs the bathroom door was shut.

"Hang on", I said running downstairs and taking the knife from were I left it. When I got back upstairs the door was open and there was no trace of the girl. Everyone was crowding around the door. I shoved my way through until I got into the bathroom. There was no girl, no blood, not anything suspicious. The bathtub curtain was drawn , but something still seemed wrong. I opened the closet nothing in there but brown towels. I checked the cabinets nothing in there. Finally I checked behind the curtain letting a small whimper escape my mouth as I stand there frozen. Looking down I see a girl from the waist up under the brown bathwater and from the waist down hanging over the edge of the bathtub. I feel someone grab my shoulder pulling me back to reality as I stare down at the drowned girl.

"What happen-" He stopped mid sentence "Oh my gosh. What is going on". There was a scream from behind him as girls finally noticing what was happening and how the chances of them being next were high. I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom laying down on a bed as I realized how exhausted I was. "Explanation, NOW", The boy said barging into the room causing me to jump. I pulled my legs over the side of the bed and sat up.

"Who are you", I asked ignoring his question.

"Sam. Now tell me what is going on". I quickly explained everything from arriving here to what happened at the barn. "Oh, but that's unfair why am I here", He said pacing back and forth "Or maybe I'm not here and this is really a bad dream". He listed possibility's, but as much as I wish it was a dream it wasn't. "I'm going crazy", Sam grabbed his hair.

"Calm down", I said "My name's Alex".

"How many people are here?".

"There was eleven of us. Are psychotic chaperon who locked herself in the basement. But now there is only seven of us. Plus you".

"What are we going to do", He asked.

"I never actually thought about it", It was honestly the truth ever since this whole thing had started. I looked down at my pillow were the knife was hiding underneath "I don't know".

"Have you tried leaving", Sam asked.

"Yes the door is locked from the outside and so are the windows".

"Then how were you able to get to the barn".

"The door came unlocked".

"Oh, so, we're stuck", He said disappointedly "Maybe we can gather some supplies".

"For what, this murderer probably wont stop until we're all dead. We cant stop this", I said standing up as he sat down. "There's no way we can beet him".

"So basicly we are stuck here to die".

"I don't know", I said in a whiney voice. "I'm just so exhausted". 

"Okay so how about tonight we sleep in shifts", he said.
