Hide and Find

"Just because you don't want to get up doesn't mean it is the best thing to do." I woke up when I heard those words. Groggily, I got up. My head was killing me. This is the third time someone put me to sleep. I looked up, and a creepy vampire was looking down on me with disgust. He threw me a towel and lemon scented soap, and told me to take a bath. I looked around at my surroundings. I was on the tile floor of a kitchen. Soup was bubbling on the stove, and vampires were drinking glasses of thick, red liquid. A pitcher of the liquid sat on the wooden table. I was horrified at the thought of my blood going in there. In the distance, It sounded like a pack of hungry feral dogs were outside, waiting to devour everyone in this house. The vampire smiled, showing long, vicious fangs.He pointed down the hallway. He snarled,"Come back to the kitchen after you're done, if you don't, you will have no guaranteed life." I shuttered as I walked down the hallway.

When I reached the end, there was a little door, about a little smaller than six foot tall. Inside, there was an old-fashioned tub. I had just noticed that my clothes were in tatters. I slowly turned the one knob, and hot water gushed out. Turning it some more, cold water came out. I kept playing with it until the tub was full almost to the brim. The result temperature of the water was a little hot. I sank in, scrubbing all the blood off of me. I no longer had a bullet hole in my back, and my head feels better from the lemon soap. Walking back into the kitchen with a clean yellow sweater and sweatpants, I stopped short at what I saw.

The kitchen was different than it was before. Instead of the wooden table, there were plastic desks, with plastic chairs to match. All the vampires were gone, in their place was a note. The soup was still boiling on the stove, and there were six wooden bowels beside it. The weirdest thing, is that Claude, June, Chelsia, and two strangers were standing in the kitchen. The two strangers were glaring at them. I walked in confused. We each had a different color on, making the rainbow without violet. The strangers turned around. One was pale, not as pale as me, with nicely cut dark brown hair, darker than mine, and clean shaven. His chin was the same as mine, and he wore the green. The other looked like a rogue biker. His light brown hair was tied back, and his face was long and scarred. He wore the blue. Claude wore orange, June wore red, and Chelsia wore purple. The green smiled at me and introduced himself. "Hi, my name is Grayson, and is Joe. "Hi, i'm Clara," I answered. June ran to me, giving me a hug. Whispering in my ear, she said," Claude is picking a fight with Joe and Grayson. I nodded, and she let me go.

I read the note: Welcome to Hide & Find. You will have different stages. Follow the directions throughout. If you try to escape, you will have a worse chance of survival. If survival isn't enough of an award, you will also have a $5,000 reward if you survive. I will advise you to move on to each quickly, if you refuse to play the game, you will die. Your individual colors will be depending on what you take and use, if it is color oriented... Good luck.

Each desk had a different color, so I went to the yellow. On there was a yellow sticky-note, a glass of water, and a box of different pills. The note said: Take your pills and wait for the door to unlock. I looked at the doors. There is the one that is open, and there was another door that was locked. The noodles looked self-explanatory, so I scooped some up, and put it in the bowl, sitting down, I dumped some of the pills in the soup, the rest, with the water. I don't know if you had to, but that one glass of water wasn't going to help me swallow all those pills. I hope this won't mess with my body. I looked around, and everyone was doing something different. Claude was swallowing his pills with water, not touching soup. Chelsia had a huge heaping pile of soup, and dumped all her pills in it. June crushed hers in her soup, and drank the water. I hope that it wasn't gross like that. Grayson ate his in the soup and drank the water, while Joe just glared at the door. After a while, the door clicked and flew open.
