All of the girls freeze on the spot unable to move an inch. It seems that they are being frozen and statued on the ground.
Alyson smirked and slowly circling them, holding a piece of white wood and squated down in front of Jillian. Alyson stared long into her eyes and then she disappeared into thin air. Jillian was shocked so does the rest of the girls. Their eyes wondered around searching for Alyson herself as well as the way out of this shabby house.
A whiff of cold strong air came and making all the windows slamming non stop.
"First rule of the game... ;" echoes Alyson voice in the room. Marty try to strained her eyes to find her, but all it's just darkness, with little light flickering from the candle itself.
"There is three tasks, first task is to find a key in a jar.. somewhere in this house. ... and those who make it here back with the key first are in 'safe' mode.." echoes Alyson.
"How about those who came last."asked Veronica in a gulp.
"That.. she will be taken care off... Hahahahaha...". laughed Alyson sinisterly and disappeared again.
All six of them scrambled and try to see in the dark, straining their eyes, blindly overturning each things they able to reach.
"Maybe we can find a way out of here, together, rather than play this stupid game," whispers Lola, one of the three Shadyside High kids to her gang.
"Yup.. let's get outta here as fast as we can,, let's go Debbie," answered Nancy in hushed mode.
Three of them run towards the door and before they know it, a wall came out of nowhere block the entrance.
"Hahahaha.. you think you can outrun me..." echoes Alyson "and for that, the stakes are getting higher... hahahaha..." and she disappeared again.
The whole house starts to shake and a hole in the floor suddenly appear in nowhere, swallowing Lola. All of them try to help pulling her out, but it seem that there is a force pulling her down.
'Help me..... " cried Lola and darkness consumed all of them.
When they woke up, they were in the same spot where Lola disappeared except there are no hole in the floor.
"What did you do to Lola," Veronica speaks out between sobs.
"She has been a prick suggesting to run...She deserved it. This is a warning , I am able to hear and see whatever you do and say. All these walls are my ears. Hahaha...." and she disappears again.
Jillian stood up and let out a sigh. She rounded all the girls and speaks out. "Girls, we have to play this game.. then only we can survive.. lets find the key, shall we?" All the girls nodded and scrambled away, searching for the key.
All the jars are overturned, shrieks and screams are echoed throughout the house, as cobwebs dangling from the corners, rats roaming around freely, and owls hooting from the graveyard.
Jillian is the first to come back at the front room, followed by Nancy, Debbie, Marty and the last Veronica. Veronica paled out when she know she is the last to reach the room. Her legs gaved away, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Ahhhh.. I see that Veronica is the last... she will deserve her punishment," and by that Veronica was tied up on the ceiling with vines circling her body.
"Don't worry, no harm will come to her yet, until the end of the game, which come the second task," echoes Alyson.
"Get out from this house to the backyard. If you call it backyard. There will be something waiting for you all. All you need to do, is just come out if you can outrun," laughed Alyson,
The door opened up and all of the remaining four was pushed out by an invisible force towards the backyard. In front of them, stood a maze, an overgrown maze with creepy vines hanging on it. There are four opening paths in front of them, which means that each of them need to take own path.
They closed their eyes and walk towards their choosen paths. Their knuckles are gripped till turning white, when suddenly a growl was heard somewhere in the paths. Marty screamed and try to run back to the opening , when the vines closed off the path. She stammered and call out for the others. Nancy on the other hand, saw an eerie eye following her at the back, Her back hair stand and she try to remain calm taking one step at a time. Jillian's paths seem clear for her. There is nothing waiting for her and she reach the end easily. Debbie was lost in the maze, as it seem vines are opening and closing on each step she taken. She then saw an opening, and when she reach the end, its the graveyard at the back of the house. Her relieve was shorten, when a hand grabbed her and pull her into the ground, burying her.
'Well, well , well,,, what we have here," Alyson appearing in front of Jillian. Her eyes seems dark and hollow. "It seems you are the first to arrive here, has it been easy for you?" Alyson laugh with a sinister smile. Marty and Nancy seems to appear in nowhere when Alyson clicked her hand, They seem to be in dazed mode, unaware what is happening around them. Jillian try to wake them up from the daze but failed to do so,
Jillian braved herself and walked towards Alyson. "Where is Debbie?" demands Jillian in an anger mode. "Why are you doing this? This is not the Alyson I know. The Alyson I know is kind, sweet and cheerful. What happen to her?" speaks out Jillian angrily.
"The girl you know die along with Marie. Now I am getting her back, which come to the last task..you Jillian will choose one of them to be the subsitute." laughed Alyson.
