*Sam's POV*
We all start searching, I go with Lucas' group which consists of Lucas, Shayne and Hannah. "Where should we start looking?" Shayne asks.
"I think we should start looking in the study," I suggest. They all nod and we head off to the study.
From the lounge we here Matt yell out the he found one. His group move over to where the antidote is locked in and the open one of the locks.
"Three minutes! Two locks to go!" the butler announces. Three minutes?! We better start looking fast. I start turning over every pot and table I see, but get nothing.
"Silence is key," I read off a picture on the wall. I continue to stare at it until I see something poking out of the bottom of the "y" in "key." I run my hand across it and pull it out.
"I found one!" I screech and run to the locks.
"Good job," Lucas praises as he takes the key and unlocks the 3rd lock. "We missed a key guys look harder!"
"1 minute left everybody!" the butler announces.
Ashley starts hacking and coughing so loudly that everyone knew she had probably been poisoned.
Almost like magic at that moment, Nikki claims she found a key.
"Move move i have it!" she says and runs to unlock the last lock. We retrieve the antidote and immediately give it to Lucas.
"60 seconds or somebody's dead!" the butler announces and walks to the hall.
*Lucas' POV*
Ashley's been coughing a whole lot so we all decide to give the antidote to her. She drinks the antidote quickly, but she doesn't stop coughing. Soon enough, she drops to the floor, and then Matt starts coughing up blood.
No... no no no! We decided on the wrong person! I feel guilty now... Everyone watches in horror as Matt lays on the floor, clearly in pain.
Mya hides her face in August's chest as he wraps his arms around her. We just killed two of our friends...
Suddenly, Matt stops his coughing and and lies still on my floor.
"Ashley and Matt are dead. Shall we continue to eat our dinner?" the butler questions.
"Are you sick?! They're dead! What the hell is the matter with you and what is happening?" Hannah states stepping towards the butler.
"I'm going to throw up," Sam says and leaves the room holding her hand over her mouth.
We all start heading back to the dining room and the maid comes out and says that she has our last course.
Sam joins us and we all sit down and we're all a bit hesitant to eat at this point. The butler lifts off the top and we all sit there, what do we do...?
"That crusty paper doesn't look very appetizing" Nikki says and nobody musters even a smirk.
"Each of you will be writing in one name anonymously and putting it into this hat. I will draw two names and they will have to face one another in a challenge. Only one will come out alive, so choose wisely." the butler explains to us.
"What?!" "This is ridiculous!" "No way!" "Lucas did you know about this?!" "Of course I didn't!"
"You have a minute to discuss who you want to put in the hat among others," the butler informs us.
I swallow hard. How did my party turn into this? Voting on my friends to die?
Sam, Hannah, and Shayne all walk up to me to discuss who the hell were voting for.
"I just want to say you all are safe in my book i don't want any of us to go through this i just want to escape the night with our lives." Shayne says looking around our clique.
"I can't do this," Sam says in tears.
"Let's just vote for Mya, she hasn't done anything yet." Hannah says looking around the group.
"Fine," Sam says and sniffles.
"It's alright we got this," I say to Sam and give her a hug. She blushes and we return to our seats.
"Lucas, you're up first." I walk up to the table and write down "Mya" and I sit back down.
Once everyone puts in a name the butler shakes the hat up to mix up the names and pulls one out. "Mya."
She starts freaking out, "Why me?! What did I do?"
"Exactly, what did you do?" Nikki says quickly.
Everyone looks very shocked that Nikki spoke up like that, that's the first time she's done that.
The butler pulls out a second name, "Shayne." I look around confused. Who would vote for Shayne?
"Mya and Shayne, you guys will pick a partner to help you with this challenge. Your partner has to be of the opposite gender. Mya, you're up first." the butler explains.
"Baby pick me, I can help you!" August explains and pleads to his girlfriend.
"No, I die, you die. You need to live okay? Ben, I choose you to come with me." she redirects not making eye contact with August.
"Um, no thanks," Ben says and takes a sip of his drink.
"That's poison, remember?" Nikki asks and he spits out the drink.
"Fine." Ben states and stands next to Mya.
"Shayne, choose your partner," the butler says.
He looks around our group and seemed like he was debating between choosing Sam or Hannah. I swear if he chooses Sam he will get a rude awakening. The thought of either of them dying scares the living shit out of me. I give him a look.
"Hannah! Be my partner,please." Shayne says.
"Oh, okay, alright then" Hannah says a little dazed and stands up to join him.
August walks up to Ben quickly. "I swear to you, if she doesn't come back up here and you do, you'll be the next person dead. That's a promise." He says aggressively.
"Loving the tension, shall we get a move on then? This may come as shock, but it's time for someone to die." the butler says with a chuckle "Follow me, this will be fun."
