Max's POV
It was times like this that I seriously wondered how I even convinced myself to do something this stupid. I mean here I was in front of a creepy, old, huge and abandoned hotel with the freezing cold rain beating at my back relentlessly while thunder rumbled in my ear drums. You see I was here for a charity event Seananners had come up with. He asked myself, Eat My Diction, Mr Sark, Hutch, Chilled Chaos and Ze Royal Viking to come to this secluded hotel for a game of hide and seek. It sounds weird but is was for charity plus I needed a few weeks away. The biggest reason I was there was because I was lonely. Renee had split up with me 2 weeks before due to me spending too much time away from her. She had taken and I had kept Malcolm but having Malcolm there didn't stop the loneliness. I left Malcolm with my neighbour and went to the hotel so here I was, cold and wet outside of a spooky looking hotel. As I stood there staring at the huge building I had the sudden urge to run away as far as I could. I shook away the feeling of uneasy and walked inside of the ominous building. I saw Adam, Nanners, sat alone wait. He looked up and beamed at me. As I looked at his face I felt like something was off and an immense feeling of dread took over me. I shook the feeling off, faked a smile and walked over. Adam pulled me in for a hug and spoke with his usually cheery voice. "Max. How are you dude?" I stepped back and tried my best to sound normal, I didn't want to spoil the night by being depressed. "A little cold and very wet." Adam smirked at me. "Oh you naughty boy." I laughed, a real laugh. "Well you set yourself up for that one my friend." I turned to the familiar friendly tone. There stood Anthony, Chilled, the clown of the group. Adam hugged him and we sat on a sofa in the lobby, talking while waiting for the others. I saw we talked but it was mostly Adam and Anthony. I had slipped into my own world when I a voice broke me from my thoughts. "Max, are you okay?" I looked up to see 5 worried faces. I smiled and nodded. "Sorry I was lost in thought. How are you guys?" Four of the faces went back to normal but one face held sympathy, Nick's face. Nick, Diction, was my closet friend and the only one I had told about Renee. I got up and Adam walked towards the doors. He looked at us then spoke with his serious voice. "Okay guys, I'm going to count to 30 and you all have to go hide. Ready and...go." He turned away and started counting. I looked at Diction. We shrugged and took off. We ran to room 103. We hid in a closet then I heard my phone and Nick's phone go off.
Adam's POV
As soon as everyone was gone I locked the door and hooked the key to my belt. I took out my phone and started a text. I read it back to myself in my head. "Hi guys. Just to let you know, this isn't a game of hide and seek, its a game of a cat and 5 mice. There is only one person that can save you now and for every 30 minutes that you the person hasn't been found I will kill someone. I have left clues around the hotel as to the identity of the man I want. If he sacrifices himself to me then I will let everyone else go. Good luck. Adam x. P.S. The electric will be turned off shortly and phone wires to the house have been cut off." I smirked to myself as I walked to the basement and turned off all power to the house then walked to my control room with tv's hooked up to cameras in every room, I had a generator for the screens and cameras. Anyway I sat and watched as I saw my newest victims come out of hiding.
Max's POV
I read the text as the bad feeling taunted me for being too foolish to listen to it. I looked at Nick in horror. "What the...What is Nanners playing at?" He said as I opened the closet. I spoke with a serious face. "I don't know what he's think but I do know that we have to find the others then find weapons to defend ourselves." Nick nodded and the lights suddenly went out. I cursed then turned on my phones flashlight. Nick turned his phone off to reserve power. I led us through the dark and eery corridors. It had been about 10 minutes since the text when I heard Chilled scream. I ran towards the sound and shone my light at Chilled and Ze. They sighed in relief. "Thank god its just you 2. I thought it might be Adam here to kill me or Ze." Chilled was paler than usual and looked ready to break down. I nodded then Ze spoke in a 'trying my hardest to stay calm so I don't freak out Chilled' voice. "We tried the front door but its locked. Is there any other way out?" Nick shrugged then I spoke. "If there is then Adam knows about it and had made sure we can't get out through it. I suggest we find Sark and Hutch, make it harder for Adam to kill us by sticking together." Chilled pointed to something on the floor. "We'll Hutch is there." I pointed my phones torch on the corpse and saw the blood pool and look of sheer terror in his eyes. I saw something so passed my phone to Nick and took an envolope off of Hutch's dead and lifeless body. I opened it and read aloud. "The person I want has short hair." Nick cursed at how stupid that was since that ruled out no one. I sighed then spoke. "Let's just find Sark then we'll look for clues as to who can save us, though I doubt they'll be of any use." The others nodded and we carried on. We were walking towards stairs when I heard noises from room 103. I walked over, the other 3 following me. I opened the door and it creaked open. I walked in and shone my light around and rested it on the bed where Sark was tied up. I ran to him and untied him, Nick and Ze helping. Sark, finally free, pulled off his gag then breathed deeply. He broke down and spoke. "I was walking with Hutch when Nanners knocked me down. He killed Hutch then dragged me here. He told me I would be next if you guys didn't hurry up." I nodded then helped him up, a letter floating down.
Adam's POV
So they found Sark, very smart but he wasn't actually going to kill Sark, he needed him alive so that he could use him. Truth was, he didn't really want anyone, he just wanted to make the guys think they had a chance. The only reason Hutch was dead was because he new too much, he knew Nanners wouldn't let them go that easily. He was going to go to the main living room, as his note with Sark said, and then the real show would start. He was going to see how far they would go for freedom.
Max's POV
"Come to the main living room if you all want to know who can save you. I will tell you so come. Love from Nanner x." I studied the note and spoke in a low voice. "Be on guard at all time, this sounds like a trick." They nodded and we walked downstairs and to the first ground living room. There, in the middle of a table lay 2 guns, good guns at that. I looked at the guns then heard laughter, manical laughter. I looked up to see Adam with a knife walking towards us. He stopped behind the table. He smirked then spoke. "These 2 guns are identical but one gun has proper bullets in it that will kill you if shot enough or accurately and the other sprays water. They are here because I want Anthony and you can all leave but only if 'Chilled' decides to sacrifice himself. He can either pick up on of the guns and shoot you three down or he can come to me." I looked at Anthony, knowing exactly which option he'd choose. He picked up a gun as I shouted out. "They are both water guns." But I was too late because Chilled had already picked up both guns as they shot out water. Nick punched Chilled. They started to fight. Ze and Sark tried to pull the two guys apart. Adam laughed. I took his distraction to my advantage as I grabbed him and kissed him. I felt Adam freeze then smile. I pulled back and spoke in a husky voice filled with lust. "Do you want to lead?" Adam grabbed my neck and pulled me closer. I felt his tongue lick my lip. I opened up and let his sweet tasting tongue inside. I felt my belt being undone so I undid Nanners belt, the keys to the door sliding on to my hand. I passed the keys to Nick, who had stopped fighting Chilled and was now just staring at myself and Adam. I unbuttoned Adam's pants and with one hand groped his front and with the others motioned for them to run. They silently moved away and Nanners directed me to a chair and sat over me, kissed down my neck and leaving love bites down my neck. I heard bomb and turned to see sleeping gas seap in. I turned to Nanner and he smiled. "Nice try Gassy but I'm not that dumb." I felt something soft over my mouth and nose. I breathed in with panic and fell unconcious."
