F L I C K E R - a Roblox Story

CHAPTER 1

Jordan's POV

Ugh.. My head hurts. Actually, scratch that, EVERYTHING hurts. My heart pounds as I slowly open my eyes. "Huh..? Where am I?" I ask myself. It looks like I'm in the middle of the woods! That's not good..

How did I get here? I can't remember what happened before.. Wait! What about Lara, Jo, and Jojo? Where are they? Are they safe? I hope that's the case. I start to stand up, almost slipping. The grass is wet. Maybe it was raining before, who knows. Not like I can remember anything from before. All I remember is going to sleep the night before and waking up here.

Suddenly, I heard a voice echoing through the woods. Through a loudspeaker maybe?
"Ahem! Alright can everybody hear me good?" The voice sounds deep, so I'm assuming it's a dude. But I'm not really sure. "Okay, good! Now, listen closely. Hello, and welcome to Flicker! In this game, their is a good side and an evil side. Your goal is to eliminate the opposing team. When the lights flicker, someone will fall. Good luck, you're going to need it..! Oh, and I almost forgot, check your pockets! There's a slip of paper in there that will tell you everything you need to know about your role. Now, I'll be going! Toodles~" The person laughs and their voice cuts off.

What were they talking about?? Good and evil? Roles?
"When the lights flicker, someone will fall.." I repeated to myself. Fall as in.. Die?? No way, this is insane! Wait, that person said to check our pockets. I shove my hand in my back pocket, feeling a slip of paper in it. I grab it and unfold it.

'You are the detective, the leader of the good side. Every night, you will receive a clue about someone's role. Try your best to protect the good team, and take down the evil side!' Is what it said. I just shake my head in disbelief. "I can't believe this.." Suddenly, I hear a voice call my name.

"Jordan! It's me, Lara!" I quickly look up and see my best friend since childhood, Lara. I gasped in shock.
"You're here too??"
"Yeah, I'm so glad you're here! I was so scared!" She runs up to me and hugs me. I hug her back of course."

"What did it say on your paper, Jordan?" She asks, tilting her head in curiousity. "It says I'm the muffin man! Every night, I get to deliver a muffin to someone! Isn't that so cool?" I smile and nod. That's the Lara I know.

"I'm the detective." I respond hesitantly. The detective role seems very important, and I should be careful with who I tell this information to. But I think I can trust Lara. We've known eachother of years after all.

"Ooh~ You must be very important. I'll give you a muffin tonight for good luck!" She cheers.
"But remember, one of us could die tonight.." I hate to say it, but I know it's the truth.
"Yeah, you're right.." She sighs "Let's just stick together and try to find the others, alright?"

"Yeah, you're right." I smile at her. "We can do this!" Suddenly, the lights began to flicker on and off. Lara holds onto me for dear life.

Then, it went dark.

So it begins, a twisted game of good and evil. Who will win this battle? That I have no idea...
