"I remember something. Maybe Not much but at least it's something."
Konnor said as he watched Harper.
"Well?"
Fallon questioned him.
"A person. Wearing a black mask with a red arrow on the forehead."

The First Game
Let it Begin
"A black mask with a red arrow on the forehead? That's all?"
Fallon groaned as she rubbed the back of her neck in thought.
Heavyn sat on the ground while rubbing her eyes when the speaker came on.
'Hello my gamers. Welcome to The Game.'
A rough voice stated as a small chuckle followed after. Making chills go down everyone's backs.
'I see Raymond didn't last long. The gas must have gotten to his lungs more than everyone else. I apologize but then again I'm not sorry.'
"What do you want with us?"
Konnor yelled out the question everyone was wondering.
'Like I said in the beginning. Welcome to The Game. Let the games begin!'
The speaker was turned off leaving them in silence.
"Games?"
Harper and Heavyn whispered.
Suddenly Blake began to cough and gasp for breath. Heavyn following after. Then the couple.
"Gas! Damn it everyone get up!"
Jadyn yelled as everyone followed her instructions and stood.
"We've got to get out of here."
Konnor yelled as he panicked.
Jadyn tore off pieces of her jacket and handed it to everyone. She motioned to cover the mouth and nose with it. When everyone did they went to the doors only to find it sealed shut.
They observed around everything while keeping the rag over their face. Harper pointed towards vent but Jadyn shook her head. Motioning with her hands that the gas could move into the other rooms if they used the vents.
That was when Blake noticed a chair. He picked it up and threw it at one of the windows. Glass shattered and he motioned for everyone to follow him.
When they got to the window they had to climb out.
Jadyn and Joshua were the last two to get out. Right after Joshua got out the gymnasium was blown up, causing everyone to throw themselves to the ground.
Blake had jumped onto Heavyn who was the closest to the window when the gym blew up. He shielded her with his body. They were on the ground both facing each other. Heavyn's face was nuzzled into Blake's neck. While she closed her eyes tightly and gasped out.
"What the hell?"
Joshua gasped out as everyone stood up. Blake slowly getting up off of Heavyn with a small pink tint covering his cheeks.
He helped Heavyn up but she scurried away from him after mumbling a quick thank you.
"What was that?"
Konnor questioned Jadyn like she knew. Which she had theories but wasn't a hundred percent sure about it.
"I'm not sure. At first I thought it was
Sarin gas."
"Sarin gas?"
Harper questioned curiously.
"Yes. Sarin gas is a human-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. They are similar to certain kinds of insect killers called organophosphates in terms of how they work and what kind of harmful effects they cause."
Jadyn replied but then shook her head and continued.
"But I don't think that was what it was. Seeing as we are all still alive. From anywhere between 1 to 10 minutes we would've been dead. That and i dont think Sarin gas is flammable. So I think it might be just a regular propane gas. It was a good thing Blake broke the window when he did or we would've all been killed."
Jadyn trailed off a little quieter like she was mainly talking to herself at the end.
"It was also stupid of him. What if that was bullet proof glass? It wouldn't have shattered and we would've been dead."
Fallon replied. But that was when Harper gasped loudly. Making everyone turn to look at her.
"Harper? What's wrong?"
Joshua questioned her as he walked towards her.
"The windows. They aren't shattered."
She mumbled as she stared at the windows that were in perfect condition.
"So Blake got lucky."
Konnor stated as he pat Blake's shoulder.
"Now what?"
Diego questioned them as he held Ravyn closer to him.
"I'm not sure."
Jadyn replied with a shrug to her shoulders.
'So everyone survived the first round. Congratulations. I will announce when the next game begins and as an award I will give you a few hours to rest. Can't wait for the next game!'
The same voice spoke over the speakers again.
That was when everyone began to look around. They were in what seemed to be a small basketball courtyard. They were surrounded by a wooden fence and when they got closer to it. They could see rusty nail hanging out. Daring for one of them to try to climb up and not get stabbed several times.
"So we wait until the next game starts?"
Diego questioned as he sat down at a lunch table with Ravyn. Who still hasn't spoken a word.
"I guess so."
Konnor and Jadyn replied.
Everyone sat down while Heavyn walked around observing everything. She noticed something metal underneath the fence and ran to the others.
"I know what the next game is!"
She yelled. Causing everyone to look at her.
"The next game is where all four fences is going to close in on us."
She stated as she grabbed Blake's hand and dragged him towards the fence. Everyone following behind. She showed them the metal pieces as she explained what will happen once the trap gets triggered.
"But now we have to figure out how to get out before the trap gets triggered and we all die."
She told everyone as they all sat down and observed everything. Trying to figure out how this was going to work.
After a couple of hours had went by. Jadyn had stood up and was along the edge when she stepped on something.
"What was that?"
