The Meet.

I woke up to the sound of something hitting the floor repeatedly. My head was throbbing with pain and my eyes were still tired with sleep.Barely remembering when I fell asleep, my mind still thought about the terrible events that took place on our first day here.I sat up slowly and rubbed my eyes,placing my bare feet lightly on the floor. I looked across the room and saw the boy who was technically responsible for Heidi's death. He had golden brown hair with sideswept bangs, gray eyes that were so bright you could tell they were gray from the longest distance, scrawny, but muscular all at the same time,his skin was well toned but looked as if he could go pale at any given time. His laugh had thrown off my train of thought about his features. He smiled strangely at me as we locked eyes. "Checking me out I see? Well I know I'm attractive,but the least you could do was compliment me, sweetheart." He said with a wink.I could hear his cute accent,I immediately knew he was probably from the UK. Denying the my craze for boys with accents, my inner sarcasm came out immediately. "Oh darling, nobody likes a jackass." I added a fake smile. He laughed at me again and got up to extend his right hand at me. "This jackass, is Surge."  I stood up to shake his hand "Ivy..Like the poison." He smiled. "So is that what you say to every hot guy you meet,or am I just lucky?" I took away my hand and giggled. We both walked down together,our stomachs growling with hunger. We were greeted with glares from the other seven contestants. We sat at the table with the others in the kitchen. A tall blonde with dark green eyes and a sweet sounding Southern accent stood up to speak. "I'd just like to say that my name Jessica,but you all will refer to me as pepper. Yes,we all are here to kill but I won't  kill anyone unless you're a threat. Maybe if I like one of you i'll spare you till' the last drop!" She said adding emphasis and more excitement on drop. She continued brightly, "I think this would be a nice time to get to know eachother before we eat!How about we say our names and zodiac signs?Now of course my name is Pepper! I am a Sagitarius." She sat down. I could tell I was not going to like her. She talked way to much for my ears to register half of the things she said.All I could tell from her little speech was that she expected to gain power through all of us by crowining herself as leader. The guy next to her stood.He had jet black hair that was greasy, he was light skinned with light brown eyes, and dimples that showed without him smiling. "Drew,Aries" he then sat down. Everyone else introduced themselves as it came to my turn I stood slowly. "Ivy,Virgo." I said.  Pepper smiled "Let's enjoy this delicious yogurt,shall we?" I looked into her eyes as she smiled in my direction. I saw something in her eyes that you would never notice by the sounds of her voice.Mischeif.. I didn't touch my yogurt. To my left I heard a loud thud to the floor.It didn't take me long to realize what had happened and who did it. It was Logan who had fell to his death. Logan seemed nice. He had long,silky brown hair with dark brown eyes.He seemed shy. We all grew silent as Pepper cackled at the scene of the same two men in black suits carried his limp body away. "I'm sorry, but it's usually the quiet ones that will do the most damage right?" She said burting with laughter and licking yogurt from her manicured nails. The Host entered the kitchen after the men in suits took away Logan. He applauded. "Marvelous kill,Pepper! Mar-ve-loooous Kill!" He turned his attention to the rest of us, "I believe this is the last time you all will see me until the game is over. I hope you all are enjoying yourselves!" He said looking down,stepping on a roach and exiting the room. "Of course,I'm fucking excited that I'm sitting and conversating with people who are probably plotting to kill me." Andrea, a short brunette with fierce green eyes that would pierce your soul,said. My mouth opened and I blurted out."Oh,shut up! You knew what you were getting into once you accepted to be here,didn't you?" Andrea glared at me. "Shut your cocksucker because nobody asked you to speak!" She said,mouthing off. "I believe nobody asked for you to whine in the first place.You sounded a little egotistic,slut!" I yelled. "Oooh,burn!" Surge said with a crooked smile.  Andrea's face turned stone cold. "Hey bitch.Congratulations,you just made a new enemy.." "Oh,such a pleasure!"I said sarcastically. When really in my mind I was thinking about how quick I was going to have to be to kill her,before she had a chance to kill me....
