Chapter 1: The Begining of the Dangerous Game

Hope you enjoy it. like i said before. it's some what similar to "Saw". i guess you can say this imy own version. Well let me know what you think

 

Raven. That’s what everyone used to called me back at my old school, cause that was my name of course . I was once a normal girl. I attended Bledwell High School. My life was normal and everyday was the same old thing. Go to school, Come home, Homework, Computer, Dinner then bed. Yeah. Not very exciting for a girl at the age of 16. Though, one day that all changed for me. And this is the story that I will tell you, about me, about Alexandria, Sasha, Jason, Leon, Kevin and all my other friends. I guess I should start from the first day it started.

 

I was in school. As usual I was sitting in the library reading the book that I had borrowed form my friend, Sasha. It was quite and not a sound was heard in the library, not even the sound of a pin dropping. This was unusual for the fact there was always at least the sounds of pages turning in a book. But no, not even that was heard. I slipped the book into my bag and picked it up ready to leave for my next class. I figured I would get a head start before the bell rung.

I walked down the Green and white hall ways of this boring school as I thought about how things were going at home. My life at home was great don’t get me wrong, it was just the fact that my mother was sick. It worried me. I was leaning against the wall as I said to myself “Jesus Christ, When the hell is the freakin bell going to ring”. It should have rung 5 minutes ago, but it didn’t. As if hearing my complaint the bell rung, a flood of students crowding the hall ways, not letting anyone get through. I walked into the room seeing my teacher Mr. Lyttle, who was none other than my lovely science teacher who always bothered me about everything I did wrong. I sat down in my usual seat which was in the third row, third seat down. The late bell rung and like always everyone decides to rush in. The Lesson that day began with “Humans and the Environment. You know, all the things no one in this class cared for, except me. I really had no choice, but weather I like it or not didn’t matter because I had to focus on it since I had failed last marking period with a 55. Yeah I had to pass this term. It was either sink or swim for me this time. My mother was not going to stand for one failing grade this time, and to be honest I really can’t blame her for being upset, but hey I’m a teen. I’m suppose to pout and yell and say how unfair life is and that my parents don’t understand me. I wasn’t like that though. I knew what was true and what was a lie, and saying that my life was unfair and that my parents didn’t understand me was total and complete B.S. They could read me like a book.

Looking past that, I finally noticed there was someone missing in the class. My lab partner and one of my best friends, Alexandria. I ignored it though I figured that she must have missed the bus since she lives pretty far away from the school. She suddenly ran into the class room out of breathe.

“Late again, Miss Lockhart…take your seat and be sure to get all the notes…and since your late you have to do an extra homework assignment” Mr. Lyttle said still writing on the chalk board.

“Of course…looks like something crawled up his a*s and isn’t getting out any time soon” I thought to myself. Sasha sat down next to me and pulled out her binder. She started writing down the notes, but I noticed that she looked worried or scared. Possibly a combination of both.

“Hey…what’s wrong?” I asked her.

“Huh?…Oh nothing, just tired and out of breathe that’s all…and actually upset that I have to do a extra homework assignment, but whatever I don’t care” she said. I just nodded. I knew bothering her right now wasn’t the right time. The class continued on the way it always did. Taking notes, answering questions, getting useless and pointless homework and trying to kiss up to the teacher.

The bell rang again and soon I was off to my favorite subject. Gym. Before I left I waved goodbye to Alexandria and went down the narrow stair chase where everyone some how managed to fit on. I finally got to the locker room and changed into my gym uniform. I sat in the steps going up to the gym to tie my shoes and I suddenly started feeling light headed. I shook my head to get rid of the feeling, but soon everything went black.

When I woke up I looked around in the deserted locker room. The only light that was seen was that coming from the window. It was dark and I could barley see anything. I sighed and just opened my locker and changed back into my clothes ready to leave. When I went to open my bag to read the book that I borrowed from Sasha, but there was a lock on it. I was confused as I pulled out a note attached to my bag. It read:

 

 

In time you’ll come to understand that this bag holds an item you will need in order to make it out of here. Don’t leave this anywhere, for this is your greatest weapon at the present moment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I folded the note and slipped it into my back pocket. I picked up the bag and started heading toward the door. Then I heard a noise in the locker room. I ignored it, but the sound grew louder. As I listened I realized that it sounded like something dragging on the floor. I walked a little faster and the sound seemed to start moving faster. When I stopped I heard it continuing to move and then the sound stopped only a few feet away from behind me. I was scared but for some reason something told me to turn around. I turned around and for the first time ever I felt like the stupid chicks from those crappy horror movies. There standing not more than ten feet away from me was this grotesque looking person. The bottom part their body was missing and so was their jaw. The tongue hung out practically waging in the wind. It’s head was tilted to the side staring at me with these diseased like looking eyes. I started breathing heavy as I finally realized that the monster that stood before me was a student in this school, in my gym period. I was only able to figurer that much out only because “she” was wearing a uniform. I started backing up slowly and it’s head jerked and started coming after me. I ran to the door, hearing it grow closer growling with anger as it got closer. I felt tears forming in my eyes fearing that I might not make it to the door.

I finally reached the door and swung it open then closed it. I heard the creature slam it’s self into the door banging and screeching. I backed away from the door and continued walking down the hall trying to leave through any exist I might have found, but all the doors seemed to be locked. It was only now that I noticed something felt wrong. I felt my neck feeling something that resembled a collar of some sort. I tried taking it off, but it wouldn’t budge. I started freaking out and yanked harder but all I managed to do was just hurt myself. Then I heard the loud speaker go on. A dark gravely voice came on. A voice that would probably scare the devil himself.

 

“ I’m sure you all have woken up by now. I will begin my announcement by saying I’m honored to have the 9 of you here as my first test subjects.

 

You have been chosen because of the different ways you have abused your own lives. So in order to show you all that life isn’t a game to toy with I have created this little obstacle coarse for you. Some of you might have noticed that your either wearing a collar around your neck or your wearing a device over your heart. The ones placed over the heart are small, but deadly, make no mistake about that. Try to remove it and it will activate causing you to die slowly and painfully. There is a key that each of you have, and before you try it on your own device I recommend you stop. Someone has your key, so each of you have your some else’s key. You all will have to figure out what it is you need to do in order it get out of this alive. There are traps, creatures of mine that I have made using the former students and staff in the school. How far will you go to show you deserve to live. You have 72 hours to remove the device on you and get out alive. In the end what will your final words be?”

 

The loud speaker went off. I just stood there shocked and scared. I jumped as I heard the sound of a girl scream and then a loud snap. I dropped to the floor grabbing my knees and crying as I said to myself “God help me…I don’t want to be here. I just want to go home”
