Murder in Captivity

Chapter 1

After the calls were made, all the contestants packed their bags and made way to the train station. Everyone was excited for lots of different reasons. Some, the money prize. Others, to make new friends. But all together, they were all anticipating the greatest time of their lives. They all arrive to the train station for a classic meet and greet. Angel, one of the contestants, was the first to notice that the station was completely empty aside from all those who were going to play in the games. "Guys... am I the only one who noticed that this place is deserted..?" Everyone looked at the female, whom of which no one was talking to since she hadn't spoken at all till then. Everyone began to look around, then Rainy called for attention as a machine filled the station with a fog. Barkley tried to get the door open, only to realize it was sealed shut. At this point everyone was freaking out, aside from Angel and Rosie, who were trying to calm everyone down. Sym collapsed. Then Jordan. Then Clara. Everyone we're dropping like flies. It only took a few minutes for everyone to have been completely passed out.

A few hours, everyone woke up with horrid headaches. Everyone was taken aback by the beautiful arena they were in. It was complete with a mini waterfall, a super market, plenty of trees, a garden and homes accustomed for each person. A small feminine groan was heard, causing everyone's heads to snap towards the sound. A young female arose from the ground, sporting a dingy purple hoodie and messy brown hair. The only thing remarkable about her was her shining purple eyes, which seemed to be completely unnatural. Her pale skin seemed to shimmer under the dim light of the twilight skies. Sam, Jack and Axel were taken aback by her beauty while the rest of them were more attracted to her dingy appearance and the cuts and bruises on her body. Sym arises from the frozen stares of the others and walks over to the female. She was much taller than her but still, tried to look the least intimidating as possible. "Miss, if it's alright, I wanna know. What happened to you? We didn't see you at the station.." she looks around then back to Sym. "I'm not too sure myself.. last I remember I rejected that call to play in the CKGM games then everything went black.." Sym could notice the obvious fear in her voice, probably from being around so many other people. "Well. Don't worry about it, you will remember in due time. Till then one of us can help you out."

Everyone gathers around to a small outdoor theater that was able to seat everyone. Sym got up and took charge speaking. "Well guys, we don't know where we are or why we're here but I guess we're going to have ta' make the most of what we got.. there may be something important that will tell us about this later but till then, let's work on housing!" Everyone could see the obvious leadership and professionalism that oozed off of Sym. It had calmed down those who were silently panicking at their current state. Everyone walked over to houses that conveniently had labels that showed the home most accustomed to each. Angel and some explored their homes while others like Chris laid on their bed and relaxed. Eventually everyone was accustomed with their homes. Afterwards they settled in their homes and tried to relax but the thought of being caged ate at some.

Eventually night rolled in, and of course the normal people slept soundly in their beds. Unfortunately for the small pool of those who were different from the rest, they couldn't sleep at all. Jordan, an insomniac, sat at the fountain and read a book that was in the small library near her home. Angel,on the other hand spent time in her living room writing in a small blank journal she had found, planning to fill it with all her adventures. Rainy sat on top of his roof and stares at the stars that shone brightly in the night sky. Eventually Rainy got bored and began walking around the forested area. Morning rolls round and anyone who wasn't awake slept in. That is, until a siren blared loudly in each home, scaring those that were awake and those who were asleep. One of them, Barkley got so scared he fell off his bed since he's such a lazy man. An unfamiliar voice spoke into a speaker that was in every home and around the arena. "Everyone meet in the meeting room in 20 minutes. I repeat. 20 minutes." The speakers were cut and everyone wasn't in their homes went back to get ready. They knew maybe something would be explained but until then, they had to wait.

LOOK. I will be updating very slowly as I am busy with other things and the chapters for this story must be in peak condition. If you feel the wait is too long just tell me and I will try to do something about my schedule.
