I blinked the sleep away from my eyes, my shackle gone. I started to panic and I instantly sat up, there was a boy staring at me.
"Where...?" I began, confused and troubled.
"I think it's time for the first trial." He said, his voice was bitter. I didn't know who he was. We were in another empty room, but it was different. I noticed two other bodies lying nearby us. One of them was another girl, and the other body was Darren's. He looked so peaceful sleeping, but I had to wake him up. We had to finish this thing. I shook him slightly, and he awoke.
"Where the Hell?" He said rubbing his eyes and I started telling him what we thought.
"Well damn." He said, and after he had the girl woke up, her eyes filled with terror. I didn't know her either. We found out the door as locked, so we couldn't do anything. All we could do is wait. It was about a half an hour before our captivator came in. He had four guns in his hands. Was he going to kill us? I stopped myself from trembling.
"Welcome to the first trial!" He yelled, his voice booming off the walls, we just stared at him.
"We're gonna play some Russian Roulette." He said, smiling evilly and I got dizzy. If you don't know what Russian Roulette is, it's basically a game where you stick a gun to your head or in your mouth and pull the trigger then pass the gun around. The gun usually holds six bullets, but it's only loaded with one.
"Here's the plan. There's four guns, each loaded with one bullet. These gun hold six bullets. There'll be four rounds, each round has one gun. The first round is putting a gun to your foot, the second is putting a gun to your leg, the third is putting a gun to your arm, and the fourth round is where the gun goes in your mouth."
"What if we don't participate?" The girl spoke up and our captivator smiled.
"If each and every one of you participate in this trial, you'll get extra food for the month of February. You'll get two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches each day." The girl scrunched her face up.
"It's actually a pretty good deal, considering if you don't participate you get fed once every three days." His eyes lightened up and she scowled.
"If any of you pull the trigger more than once when it's your turn or if you purposely try to commit suicide, your whole group dies. If you try to kill each other, your whole group dies. Any violation to the rules or not doing it the way I explained will result in all of your deaths. And no loopholes, I won't tolerate them along with smart asses." He sneered. He set the guns down by the door, and left the room. The guns were labeled with a piece of paper stuck to them. One gun said, foot one, another said, leg two, arm three, mouth four. It looked like the order we were supposed to do them in. He also gave us a list of the order of who gives first on what rounds.
This was the order for the foot round: Darren, me, the girl, and the boy. The order for the leg round was the girl, the boy, me, and Darren. The order for the mouth round and arm round were the same. Me, the girl, Darren, and the boy. There was a slip along with everything, to. It told us to complete all four rounds in exactly thirty minutes. If we didn't, we'd all die.
"Here's the deal. You're all gonna participate. Yeah we'll get injured, and one of us will die, but at least the rest will survive. If you don't do your round or turn, we'll force you. Plus, more food. We need food to survive and gain strength." I said harsher than intended. Darren picked up the gun for the foot round.
"I agree with Katlyn." He said, nodding his head towards me and cocked the gun then put it to his foot. He pulled the trigger. Nothing. I let out a breath of relief then took the gun from him. I was glad Darren didn't get hurt. I shut my eyes and pulled the trigger with the barrel of the gun against my foot. Nothing. I let out a sigh then gave the gun to the girl. She was shaking, but put it her foot. She pulled the trigger and a loud noise exploded, ringing my ears. She began to scream, looks like she got hit on the first round. She was biting her lip till it bled, and she was beginning to cry in pain. After a few minutes, she was breathing in a raspy way.
