"Okay, Matthew. I know its difficult but can you tell us everything you remember from the begining?" The FBI agent in front of me asks and I gulp and nod. "It starts when I woke up in a strange room with five other guys from my school."

I hear a groaning noise and a shout before my eyes flutter open and widen when I see the room I'm in. It's not my room and there is more than just me in there. I see Jason McCann, Senior star quaterback, and top Junior in academics, Alex Peters. There's one guy with black hair and a biker jacket I recognize but don't know his name. He's a delinquent of the school. As well there is principle Andrew's son, Gale, and the last guy is a freshman I remember sitting by in lunch yesterday.
"Where the hell are we and why are we here?" The thug guy asks angrily and everyone looks around confused. I'm not though, because I've seen this room before. Been in here when my uncle...I shiver at the thought. "This is my uncles old storage warehouse...but I don't know why all of you are here..." I mumble shiver when his cold eyes train on me. "Well tell him to let us the fuck out." He growls and I flinch. Just then a tv pops out of the wall and and flickers on. "Hello boys. My name is Richard and I'm Mattgew's uncle. You are all here because you have the same dark secret as each other. I'll give you time to thing of what it is, but I wanted you to know the collars around your neck will shock you every ten seconds you don't get back on your bed starting in five minutes. Enjoy your first trail. Just to prove its not a joke I'll show you how it works on Matty here. Enjoy your time."
My eyes widen and I tense up and groan as electricity shoots through my body. When it stops I see everyone on their beds wide eyed. "So what our big bad secrets then, cause I sure as fuck don't share anything with mister perfect over there." I listen to them argue while I catch my breath. "Dante, yelling at each other won't help anything..." the freshman says and Dante growls but sits on his bed. I sit up and gulp before biting my lip. "Quick question...were um, any of you abused...by a family member?" I ask quietly and everyone stops to look at me wide eyed. "Um, the only time I'm...brought here is when he um...when he want to hurt me without, w-without people knowing..." I rub my thumb into my palm repeatedly, not looking at any of them. There's a loud bang and I look up and see clear walls begining to separate each bed. "What the hell is going on?" Dante yells again and I shake my head. "I-I don't know, this has never happened before."
There's a thump and its quiet for a bit before the freshman boy shrieks and my bead jerks over to see something red falling from the ceiling. I lean closer and realize it must be blood with how thick it is. I look at the others and Date is banging on the wall in anger before flames shoot up around him, barely mussing him. The color drains from his face and he drops before curling into the middle on the bed. I look to the other side of the room and where Gale was there's now black walls but I can hear screaming coming from that area. Jason is somehow balancing on the headboard of the bed to keep away from the snakes crawling all over the bed and floor and Alex sitting on a corner of his bed shaking because the walls and ceiling have closed in on him. I was so busy watching the others that when the first touch of a bug I jump almost off the bed. Then I see the swarming and squeak before covering my mouth and nose with my shirt, curling up with my eyes screwed shut and my hands over my ears.

"I still don't know how long ut lasted but it hapoened once a week. He didn't give us a warning anymore and sometimes we would wake to the noise of the walls closing up and our fears surrounding us." The FBI agent shivers and I can imagine he's thinking of how it was. "But that wasn't even the worst part. It was when they made a game out of it that it got bad.

We've been here about two month's and I guess they got bored. Now their making us do things to each other. "Okay, we're going to play a game today boys." I hear my uncles voice and bite my lip. We figured out last week that the games are not actually fun to play. They made us play truth or dare last week and we all figured out who of our family abused us and in what way. Jason's dad beats him sometimes. The freshman, Oliver's mommakes him do...sexual things with here and cuts herself while they do it, she's propably the most insane of them all. Gales brother knocks him around and his dad locks him in their basement sometimes if he catches his son doing anything with a boy, talking texting or oterwise. Alex's aunt locks him in the closet if he makes a bad grade or mentions his depression, after breaating him with a belt first. And Dante's father beats him and burns him when he gets drunk, which he says happens a lot. They found out about my uncle and what he does to me as well...
