Ella kicked her heel against the ground in a slow rhythm. The transportation vehicle went over a couple bumps, causing her and the other passenger's padded handcuffs to jostle around. Above them was a heavy rain, making the vehicle Echo with little sounds. Her hair fell over her eye once more as she sighed and lifted her hands to shift her gleaming locks again. This had been going on for a couple hours now. Bored, she looked up to examine the other people riding with her.
Right across from her was a male teen, not much older than herself. He was looking down and shaking a bit, his long hair hanging over his face. He was most likely insane. Then again, weren't they all? Beside that guy, was another, probably around the same age. He had red hair and his arms were covered in tattoos of bones, making him appear to be a sort of skeleton. Ella raised at eyebrow, curious at how he looked so calm as he glanced out the barred window into rainy outside.
"Psst."
The sound of someone whispering jarred Ella from her thoughts. The girls beside her was leaning towards Ella. "The name's Katie. What are you in for?"
Taking a second to think, she decided to answer truthfully, for once. Ella clears her throat to speak and moves her hair from her eye. "I'm in for conspiracy against the government, sociopathy, and manslaughter. You?"
Ella notices Katie's eyes narrow, obviously attempting to figure out if she's being lied to. Ella just smirks. Even though she's the youngest in the truck at sixteen, she's undoubtedly the most intelligent. Ella waits for Katie's slow response.
"I'm in for whatever that bipolar thing is, harm of others... and... stuff." Katie trails off, seeming resistant to finish what she was about to say as she just glances away. Her hands aren't shaking and she still seems to be forcing herself to stay strong. Her self confidence still radiates out in her obvious fierceness for being the leader. On the other hand, Ella has a more chill sense of calm, just directing her attention to the guys sitting across from them.
"Hey you two. Care to share?" Ella raises her chains a bit, allowing her to cross her legs. The guy with the long hair looked up, eyes wide. He twitched as Ella forced him to look into her eyes. While his were filled an unsettling and rampaging fear, hers were filled with a calm sanity. She lightly kicked his leg when he didn't answer. "Helloooooo, anybody in there?"
He finally let out a stutter. "My n-name is R-Rock... I'm in for... a lot of stuff... m-mostly mostly first degree murder...."
Ella nodded and looked towards the other guy, who's eyes were looking into hers, rather intently. "And you?"
He looked away and sighed. "I'm Skull. Don't ask me for my real name unless you want trouble. I'm here because... well... let's just say I take what I want."
Katie and Ella simultaneously rolled their eyes, annoyed at Skull's stupidity. Then it went silent with a whole lot of awkward silence.
Katie cleared her throat, raising her eyebrows. "Why don't we play a game of truth or dare."
Deviously, Skull and Ella smirked, ready to unveil some secrets, meanwhile Rock went back to staring at his feet. He still seemed to be quivering, a proper reason not yet in place for why. However, at the same time, all three turned their heads to Katie.
"I'm In."

Katie was leaning in, her eyes shining with a devious gleam. While she, Ella, and Skull were completely and utterly ready for the games to begin, Rock still showed some definite reluctance. The truck continued it's bouncy journey.
