The Game Begins

CHAPTER 3

THE GAME BEGINS

Tim was missing. I called my friends, asked them about Tim and the response I got was,“Wasn't he with you?

We searched around for Tim and found him sitting quietly in a corner close to the door.

John yelled,“Tim.” ”Do you know how worried we were about you?” Anna said in a worry filled tone.”yeah, you should have told us. It's already very spooky here and with you missing, it scared the he!| out of us.”

“Sorry” Tim said quietly.

Out of blue,we heard a voice,“Welcome , everyone .” The four of us were stunned yet it felt like they expected this to happen.

Then the voice continued,“Rules of the house are

1) Safe time is from 6 am to 9 pm

2) Questions will be refreshed at 6 am every day.

3) If the answers are right, safety will be provided for 9 hours

4) Answer can only be given at 5 pm everyday

5) The game will go on for 10 days

 Please follow the rules to survive .

 Everyone was shocked silly. We were very scared by the turn of events. James and his team's expressions never changed. It seemed like they were used to it which in itself was unusual since no ordinary person could remain calm in the face of unknown.

 We started searching around the house for any thing suspicious. All of a sudden, John called us. I went to the place where he was and saw everyone was already there, staring in a certain direction. I followed their line of sight and found a clock hanging there.

 The clock caught my at attention immediately, not because of its appearance but because it was working normally which wasn't quite right, no it was totally wrong. With the condition of the house, it was abnormal for it to be working.

I suddenly remembered the rules. Half an hour was left till 9 o'clock. It was at this moment that we noticed a commotion downstairs, Sofia and James were fighting. It seemed like it was related to this house and by the way they were talking, it didn't seem like this was their first encounter with these things.

Sofia was yelling at James saying,“It isn't some ordinary ghost. Do you know how danger-”? She abruptly stopped. It seemed to me that she noticed us as she was staring at us. I think she wanted to know how much we overheard.

A voice was heard the next moment,“ The Game Begins ”

I quickly glanced at the close, it was exactly 9 o'clock.

All of a sudden , we heard noises coming from upstairs. Everyone thought it was the wind If it was before I would also think so but we had checked the whole house before and all windows and doors were closed. There was no way for the wind to do it. This meant only one thing someone or something was there. Now there was a new question,Who?
