Emily and Jasper are living peacefully together in a small town. Until one day when they receive a strange letter from someone, someone they thought was gone.
Mr. Harmon, the one Emily hated from the start of 'the games.'
Emily dropped the bowl of Cheerios. She stared at the book for minutes, shaking her head. Tears fell from her tired eyes, landing on the tan carpet.
It couldn't be the right book, she had buried it across the world, in the middle of a desert.
Emily hesitantly started toward the book. This was the book. The letters that surrounded the large triangle in the middle, the words of sacrificed souls whispering inaudible things at Emily.
There was also a crimson red letter attached to the top of the all too familiar book. Emily slowly slid the letter off the book, trembling. She opened the red letter, at the top was a small video that showed the younger version of Abby being caried by Mr. Harmon across a graveyard. There were large letters that said,"Back from the grave!"

Fright made Emily tremble even harder. She had finally lived a few years in peace, she had Jasper, she had Ruby. Emily read the letter slowly:
"Emily Emily Emily, how much I have missed you and your sweet voice screaming as we played Hide and Seek together. Such a fun, fun game. I still play it and every time someone dies I think of you, my darling.
From a few 'spies' around the neighborhood, I have heard you are married to Jasper, yes? Very handsome man I say, I miss Hide and Seek with him too. Violet and Jasper had fun times together, but then I killed Violet, but never mind that. Violet doesn't matter anymore.
You and Jasper had a baby, yes? Ruby is it? Such a cute little baby. How do I know, you ask? Well, let's just say I've visited a few times. Ruby has your eyes, Jasper's hair and a chubby belly and chubby little legs and arms.
Anyways, you are probably wondering where your little baby went. Don't worry, I have her and she is perfectly safe with me and the rest of us. The only way to get Ruby Wuby back is to play another round of your favorite game, but with a few more rules.
New Rules:
1. Teams! You can have one partner, only one team will win. If you kill your partner, you will be killed and
2. Whoever wins gets Ruby! The winning team can do anything they want to your baby.
3. Your lips will NOT be stitched this game, but if you make any other sound than "You're dead" or "I found a dead body," then you will be sacrificed to the book as well.
Other than these few changes, the other rules apply.
The game will be at Ruby's daycare. Have fun!
-Mr. Harmon
Emily dropped the letter. No no no, not another game, not Ruby.
