Chapter 2: The Day’s Not Blessing’s “Hello there children.” A man appeared behind them. “Going somewhere?” Now cornered. The only hope was to show them the note. Nareik with a terrified look, but trying to act brave took the note out and gave it to the man behind of him. “So you got our letter I see.” “Who a…re you?” Tough guy Toby was definitely scared! “Your worst nightmare.” He snarled. “Well aren’t you the clever ones, figuring out our message…” “That doesn’t sound like a code, it is just…” “ Quite you!” The man screeched he had an awful voice, horrible rat like teeth and a hunchback. He wore a fine shit, and pants. He looked like a beat up old shoe in fine leather. “Come entertain the Master!” He pointed to the shadowy figure. “And if you o good you will be rewarded and get to live like me” And just like that they were gone. Not just the 9 but all the students too. “Wake up you slackers!” The rat man yelled. “You get the privilege to serve Lord Game the 1st and only! You shall all participate.” “What if we don’t want to?” One student whined. “I was hoping someone would say that.” For that instance the student was gone and reemerged the next. “How about now, you wretched toad?” “Must entertain the Master.” The kid who thought he was so tough now seemed like a mindless zombie, people could help to smirk. “You want to be next spineless skeleton’s with no brain’s? Now the man made no sense. Nareik wondered what happened down there, and how these aliens were and how they understood the language of English. “Now then everyone here is what you have to do, you shall be put into two groups, Objective: KILL THE OPPOSING GROUPS!” “WHAT?” Nareik was on his feet now, and he was not going to be some worthless killer, just to entertain some guy, it was bad enough he forged a permission slip. “I am kidding you wretched toad! You slimes can’t you take a joke? (Evil laugh, in original version they had to capture each other and it went like this: Capture the enemy group, and when the time comes we count the numbers and put up the rankings, and in the end of the year, we kill all prisoners, or people without any captives. Do not even think about escape, there isn't any escape from the Island of Game! The winner shall receive money, prizes, and are allowed to live. If you capture someone, who has prisoners from your team, then the prisoners are your new teammates. You can change teams if you like, and there are no rules. Let The Games Begin!” Nareik was not sure about the game, was it like survival? He didn’t want to capture anyone. But this is the edited version.) You ingrates! Here is how it works, you are broken up into two groups, and I don’t care who is in what groups deal with it. Then every month when the times come, each group needs to have a human sacrifice! If you don’t have 1 you die! It can be from either group, or one group can have 2 sacrifices, from the opposing groups or your friends can just turn you in! The thing is, during the month you should capture enemy group members so you are prepared at all times, because you never know when or where, the time shall come! You will be turned against your friends! The winners shall receive greatness! Let the games begin!” Nareik wasn’t sure about capturing people, or who these guys were, and the games purpose, and what were the sacrifices were for. But he had no time to ask questions, in that instance the floor was split in too, the two separate sides rose up, and the groups were set. Toby, Paul and Brian were with him, Katherine too, but Derrick who had moved to the front to here the rat man talk, was on the opposing team. “One more thing!” The rat like man yelled. “You can change sides if captured, that is if they want to use you, and not sacrifice you, muhahahhahahahhahaha!” A plan devised in his head. _________________
