Bella's POV
We woke up in a dark room with only minimal light showing through the cracks in the large oak doors in front of us. Everyone was confused, some even scared, of what was to come. Some showed their emotion by crying and curling up into a ball, rocking back and forth. Some tried to hide their tears while comforting the young and those that were crying. While others just stood their, confused and attempting to figure out what's to come next.
I on the other hand, was searching for my best friend. Was he here with me? Is he ok? At this point I started screaming his name; "JOEL! Joel are you here!"
After a while, I was starting to lose hope, I had gone all around this place and haven't found him.
"You wouldn't happen to be Bella, would you?" Someone called to me, I couldn't see their face but by the sound of their voice, they were behind me.
"Yes, how did you know?" I ask curiously, maybe I knew this person before. I lived in a small town so I knew everyone but this person, I don't think, was one of them.
"Your friend asked me if I'd seen you, and told me to tell you to head to the doors. You will find him there" I could see a silhouette of them pointing to the massive doors.
I thanked them and started to run. I passed many people, there had to be hundreds of us in here, if not more!
Once I started getting close I yelled for him again. My voice was becoming louder as I reach the door.
"Bella?" I hear and I run towards him, leaping into his embrace. "Bella! Are you alright?"
"Yes, whats going on?" I ask, breathing heavily.
"I- I'm not sure"
As of to answer my question, the doors slowly start to open and speakers start to blare.
Welcome to the Games! Fill in everyone! This will only be said once so PAY ATTENTION!
Everyone hurriedly filled into the sandy area. It looked like we were about to start a race! There were rows of bleachers on the sides and lofts at the top. Over us, there were large screens all in a row with speakers clustered below them.
Welcome to the Games! Here we will determine the weak and the strong. Is everyone listening?
No one replies so they continue.
Well then, let's get on with an explanation, shall we? So, the object of the game is to not get caught! You get caught, you get killed! Simple enough.
There many rooms and each hour, the door to the next room unlocks! Half way though the hour, the door to the room before the new room, closes. Anyone left behind, is killed! Each time a door opens, an announcement will tell you, as well as when the door closes.
In each room there is a different, well, theme, I guess you could call it. And with those 'themes' are different monsters. Getting caught by the monsters is, you guessed it! Death!
Half way through the Games, each of you will be individually brought up to the booths. Were you will be asked a random question, let's hope you know the answer because not knowing it is instant death! If you get the answer right then you get something of your choice at the end, if you survive anyways, there are limits on what we can get you but otherwise, have fun!
Pairing up in groups is allowed. The rules are simple; there are none! The Games will start now, good luck to all, you'll need it!
And with that, the front doors started to open into total darkness.
Room 1: Blackout!
