[Abigail's POV]

The door holding my players behind it now had a warning on it. I had strict orders to kill people in a certain pattern. First Jason, then Kate. Next was Tobi. But that damn brat Addie got in my way. Guess I'd have to switch their fates, meaning Tobi would be alive for far too long. I scoffed, and stuffed the knife back into my dress pocket, admiring my work for another moment before walking away. My hair fluttered behind me as I descended the staircase, and I could feel my smirk fading as I ground my teeth together. This job was supposed to be easy, that's what she told me. Kill the kids in this order and you can see your friend again. "Ha...what kind of fool was I?" I asked myself, stopping at the bottom of the stairs. Might as well clean up the mess Addie made.

With a flick of my hand, the chandelier began to piece back together, lifting off the mangled corpse of the girl that I had such a wonderful plan for. "You got lucky. I guess." I glared at her, moving my arm mindlessly. Light filled the room once again, and the chandelier was back to its former glory. Now to deal with this corpse..

I picked up Addie and slung her over my shoulder, walking towards the far wall by the kitchen. The wall panels opened up, revealing the door to the basement. I flung open the door in annoyance and slammed it shut, the panels closing behind me. I stomped through the hallways and towards a foul smelling room, I wonder why on earth it smelled so bad? Maybe because it was full of dead people. I opened up the door to find Jason sitting neatly against the wall, his guts had started to turn a ghastly black and rotted color. Kate was still fresh, I had grabbed her before going to give Bradley and his friends the message. Her chest, still torn open, no longer had her heart inside of it, as when she was impaled it ripped her heart out. How tragic. I decided to put Addie next to her, the blonde's crooked body fit nicely next to her. "Disgusting. Beautifully disgusting." I said plainly.

Next on the agenda was to check on Alice, the little brat was too loud and obnoxious for her own good. I left the dead bodies and began to traverse the hallways once again, finding the door to her room..open. I didn't remember leaving it open, which I found strange. I'd never done that before. I walked into her room and found a basket of bread, water, and other foods. She was asleep in the corner, looking refreshed. The pieces in my head began to come together. I turned around and bolted for the kitchens entrance, where I found the stairs unlocked. That explained where Tobi came from. But...

As soon as I closed the stairs I went back to Alice, stepping into her cage and shoving her awake. My boot dug into her stomach, and she winced in pain as she woke up. Fear filling her eyes. "Wakey wakey~" I whispered, stepping off of her and kneeling beside her. "So you had a little visitor huh?" She didn't reply. My blood boiled. "Why didn't you go with her?"
"I...I didn't want you to hurt her." She whispered, my face breaking into a smile as I laughed. "Hurt her! Sweetie I was going to kill her not even an hour ago! But sweet Addie was a hero." My voice bounced off the sides of the cage, and rang in my ears. Damn did I always sound this good?

"...I knew you'd kill her if I did..so...I sent her away." Alice confessed, and I broke into a fit of giggles, nearly tripping over her chains. This girl was too much, what else did she do? "Alice you damn fool...You do know it was their goal to find you and add you to the game? They have only one day left to do so! Before my boss gets her panties in a twist and finishes this herself-" I stopped. My meeting with Bradley was in two days, they only had one to get Alice back. Nice thinking Abigail now you'll have to work faster if you want them to find her and win them more time. I sighed, looking down at her miserable face. "You are an idiot Alice." I whispered, kicking her for good measure. I heard her break down behind me, sobbing into her tattered clothes. I locked the cage and burned the food she had, my pet would go hungry tonight.
