Prologue

2325 AD

A loud ominous voice bellows, "Wakey, wakey! Welcome all! One and all to The Cave." It repeats over and over again. A bell as ominous and creepy as the voice goes off two times.

"Wakey, wakey! Welcome all! One and all to The Cave," the voice says one last time.

Clarissa a pretty blond with a perfect appearance wakes up and looks around. "Oh my.. Oh my... WHERE AM I?!" she screams.

Now others begin to awaken and a commotion starts.

"What in the world?" Danny says mortified.

A man named Tristan begins to accuse the others angrily. "Who are you people?! And why am I here?!!"

Another trapped victim, Marnie, begins to call out, "Help! Can anyone help us?!! HELLO!!!"

"What is yelling going to do in this situation? We need a way out!!" Tristan shouts back.

As everyone is growing more and more confused, angry, and disorientated a brooding laughter floats through the cave.

Seqouia hearing the voice first hushes everyone. "Do you hear that? Where is it coming from?"

A cringe worthy static comes from the back of the cave.

"Over here my precious little subjects," an unknown person replies.

All persons in the cave turns slowly to face the back of the cave. There mounted on a rock is an old, worn T.v. A hooded man wearing all black is looking at them through the T.V. No one can make out his face as it is well hidden. He looks like a shadow, a figment of everyone's imagination. He seems to make a sound like brooding strings to play. Then, he begins to speak. His voice is wicked and otherworldly.

"It's time to start. Welcome to The Cave. There is only one rule... There are none!! You have supplies, a map, and a timer," he instructs them as he points to the left side of the cave. There the people see five backpacks, two maps, and one digital timer.

Then, he taunts them with this riddle:

"Get out of the cave as fast a you can.

Always left behind is one man.

Not all will be saved,

In this dangerous game.

Get out of the cave as fast as you can."

"Why are you doing this? Why us? Why now?" shouts a scared, but angry woman named Harmony.

The mysterious man answers her, "Because you earned it of course... Happy Caving my friends." As the sound of static comes on, the screen goes black.
