"WHAT!?" exclaims Blake.

"Chase, calm down, that accusation is way too serious," says Joseph sternly.

"I don't get it..." says Lexi.

"Listen, I know it's hard to believe but you guys have to trust me on this," says Chase trying to back himself up.

"I will admit, there's a chance you could be right, but you can't just say this without evidence," says Carly.

"Carly's right," says Ana, "where's your proof?"

"I'm glad you asked, let me enlighten you. The first thing I saw that was suspicious was before the second game, I saw Rachel smile as the mansion was loading. It wasn't a happy smile either, it was evil, it was mischievous. Why would she smile like that if she was innocent? Because she wasn't actually innocent, she's murderer."

"You've got to be kidding me, please tell me you have more reasons than that," says Blake.

"It does seem weird... but that doesn't mean she's murderer," says Lexi.

"Don't worry, I have more to say," says Chase, "moving on to my next piece of evidence, before the second game, after seeing that smile I made a plan to try and provoke Rachel, to get myself killed. I don't know what I said or did, but when X announced the results and it showed that I lost a life and I was able to put two and two together."

"I can understand the reason for your suspicions, Chase, but this isn't hardcore evidence. You can't just say that she's murderer just because of what you've gathered so far," says Joseph.

"Exactly, this is absurd!" says Blake.

"Oh, shush, Blake! She's practically brain-washed you at this point!" says Chase, "anyways, moving on to the next thing I have to say, haven't you guys noticed that me and Blake keep dying? When we first made the groups me and Blake both died, and we were on Rachel's team."

"When we first made the groups, everyone died, Chase. It wasn't just you and Blake," says Ana.

"But, Chase kind of does have a point..." says Lexi.

"What do you mean, Lexi?" says Carly.

"Even though we all died in that one round, Blake keeps dying and he's the only one that works with Rachel."

"But other people keep dying too, not just Blake. Anyone could be the murderer," says Ana.

"Well, obviously Rachel wouldn't only kill Blake. If she does that every round, we'll obviously be able to piece things together. She's evil, but she's smart," says Chase.

"*He's hit the mark, he got it right. I can't let them believe him,*" Rachel thinks to herself.

"Why, thank you, Chase! I appreciate you calling me smart, but you're dead wrong. Everything you've said isn't hardcore proof, it's just observations. Don't fool around at a time like this! We can't remember anything from the games so there isn't much to help figure out who the murderer is, we just have to endure all the rounds and survive. Don't be a hero, Chase."

"As much as I don't wanna say it, Rachel's right," says Ana, "there are basically no ways to figure out who did what, we just have to deal with the fact that we're basically powerless."

"But we're not powerless! If we can't get hardcore evidence then the next best thing is observations! Maybe I would've left it alone if it was only one thing that I saw was suspicious, but I keep seeing and seeing them. It can't just be a coincidence," says Chase.

"You're thinking too hard about this, Chase. You need to stop, it's like you're trying to tear us apart," says Blake.

"Now hold on, I wouldn't say he's trying to tear us apart, but I do agree with the fact that he's thinking too hard," says Joseph, "are you ok, Chase? I can understand you wanna get out of here as soon as possible, we all do, but it doesn't feel like it's the correct way to do this."

"I agree with Joseph," says Carly.

"So you guys don't believe me?"

The group is silent after Chase's question.

"I apologize for interrupting this heartfelt moment, but it's time for the 5th round! Get ready, players!" says X over the intercom.

"What perfect timing," says Chase sarcastically.

"TELEPORTING TO MANSION..." says the robotic voice.

As the countdown for the teleportation begins, Lexi walks to Chase, "I believe you, Chase," says Lexi whispering.

"Thank you, Lexi," says Chase giving her his best smile.

"MANSION HAS BEEN LOADED" "Beginning countdown..."

"10..."

"*I need to find a way for people to think Chase is murderer,*" Rachel thinks to herself.

"9..."

"*I need to watch out, although I shut down Chase's theory he could still be right,*," thinks Joseph.

"8..."

"*I should probably stay away from Rachel,*," thinks Lexi.

"7..."

"6..."

"5..."

"4..."

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

"Game commencing..."

"Carly! Let's meet in our usual spot, ok? I'm gonna try looking around the map for something first," says Ana.

"Got it!" says Carly sprinting to her and Ana's hiding spot.

Ana starts running around the map, looking for clues.

"*I know that people won't remember but I'm going to hide first before I kill anyone, I need a plan,*," says Rachel as runs away from Blake and hides in the nearest storage room.

"Now that Chase called me out, I need to try and make him look guilty, I need the attention off of me. That means I can't kill him, even if I did kill him, it would be suspicious to the others," says Rachel talking to herself, "wait... I've got it!" Rachel sprints out of the storage room for her first victim.

"Rachel! Where the hell did you go? You just ran off out of nowhere," says Blake.

"Sorry, Blake! I had to check something."

"Like what?"

"Well, you might've guessed but my suspicions for Chase have skyrocketed after what he pulled earlier. I'm trying to find hardcore evidence that he's the one behind this."

"I don't think that'll work, Rachel."

"It will, I have my ways," says Rachel, "actually... I could use your help with exposing him."

"What do you mean?"

"I have a plan to get evidence so I can expose Chase, but I'm gonna need your help for this to work."

"Of course, what's the plan?"

"I need you to stand there and call for Joseph's help."

"Wait what? Why?"

"Just trust me, just yell for his name."

Blake is hesitant at first, but he does it, "Um, Joseph!"

"No, Blake, you have to be louder, he won't hear you like that."

"Fine. JOSEPH! JOSEPH, GET OVER HERE!"

Joseph hears the screams from the bedroom he and Lexi are hiding in, "What the hell..? Lexi, was that Blake?"

"Yeah, I think it was."

"Wait right here, Lexi, ok? Don't move, I'm gonna go see what Blake wants."

"Got it."

Joseph runs out of the bedroom, locking the door behind him to see what the commotion was about.

"There's Joseph!" says Rachel.

"Rachel and Blake, why did you guys say my name?"

"Rachel has this plan to help get evidence that Chase is the murderer, she wouldn't say what it was. All she said was to call your name," says Blake.

"Ok... I know that Chase tried to convince us you were murderer, Rachel, but that doesn't mean he is a murderer. Whatever, now that I'm here tell me what the plan is," says Joseph.

"I can't exactly say it just yet, but it will all make sense, I promise. I need you guys to close your eyes, I need to see something."

Blake closes his eyes but Joseph is a little persistent, "I understand you need this for your plan, but I can't think of anything you can accomplish by us closing our eyes."

"Joseph, I need you to trust me for this plan to work, ok? Blake was skeptical at first too, but I promise it'll make sense."

"Fine. God, teenagers are so weird sometimes," says Joseph as he closes his eyes.

"Ok, both of your eyes are closed right?" says Rachel.

Joseph and Blake both say yes simultaneously.

Rachel slowly pulls out her knife, she looks at Blake and Joseph to check if both of their eyes are actually closed. Once she was sure, she doesn't hesitate. In as fast as a blink, Rachel stabbed her knife in Joseph's chest, yanked it out, and did the exact same thing to Blake.

Joseph starts gasping for air once he realizes that he's been betrayed.

"Y-you... Chase was right," says Joseph holding his chest.

"Yeah, that's true," says Rachel with a grin on her face, "why can't you be more like Blake, he's not complaining at all."

In Joseph's last seconds, he turns his head over to Blake, only to see him dead on the floor. He was immediately killed, he couldn't even say anything.

Rachel starts laughing as she walks away, "Have fun you two!"

"Now I need to find her," says Rachel.

"I don't get why I haven't thought this before, it's amazing. X never said we couldn't have something to write things down with. Even if my memory gets wiped, my notes are still here," says Ana as she pulls out a notepad with a pen, "but I still need to find something so I can write it down..." Ana keeps walking around the mansion trying to find clues, "let's see if Chase was right."

"Found her," Rachel whispers to herself.

As Ana walks around the mansion she sees Rachel, Rachel continues to walk in her direction.

"Ana!"

"Rachel."

"What are you doing up and about? Don't you usually hide with Carly?"

"That's correct. Today's a little different though. I'm looking for clues, I refuse to just stand by."

"Ohh, that admirable!"

"Thank you. If you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving now," says Ana as she begins walking away.

"Why don't you stay a bit though? C'mon let's talk a little more," says Rachel picking up in speed.

"No, sorry, I can't," says Ana, and she starts speed walking and then running. Rachel starts running too. Ana looks behind her and continues to pick up speed. She tries to pick up her notepad and write down anything that could reveal Rachel as murderer, even a simple R but as she picks up the pen, Rachel pulls out her knife and with no other option, and decides to throw it. It was a direct hit in the back. Ana falls to the ground, dead, still holding onto the notepad and pen.

"Huh, who knew those knife throwing classes would've paid off?" says Rachel pulling the knife out, "Now, it's time for the easiest kill of this game," says Rachel as she points the knife towards her, "You can do it," says Rachel as she stabs herself straight into the chest. Blood drips out of her mouth, "No wonder everyone got so upset when I stabbed them, this shit hurts like hell." Those were her last words as she drops to the ground and the game comes to an end.

"Excellent game, players! It was very interesting," says X over the intercom.

"TELEPORTING BACK TO LOBBY," says the robotic voice.

As the players come back into the lobby, Ana immediately reaches for her pocket to check her notepad, "Damn it! Nothing."

"Hello, players! You guys know what time it is... it's time to tell you whether you died or not! Ahem... Blake: 7 lives Rachel: 8 lives Chase: 7 lives Joseph: 6 lives Carly: 8 lives Ana: 8 lives Lexi: 9 lives That's all, enjoy the rest of your day!" says X stepping off the intercom.

"I... died?" says Ana, "the death must've been sudden if I wasn't able to write down who killed me," Ana whispers to herself.

"What!? Ana, are you ok?" says Carly.

"Yes, I'm fine, I still have 8 lives, I'm more worried about Joseph," says Ana. She turns his head to him.

"I suppose after this game, I'm the one with the least amount of lives," says Joseph. He's trying to control his voice and face so he can look calm, but Rachel can see through it.

"This is so stupid! I can't believe I died!" says Blake.

"Guys, it's gonna be ok, we can all get through this! We can survive!" says Rachel.

"Don't you realize that this is horrible?" says Lexi, "Our lives are dropping so fast..."

"I agree with Lexi," says Carly.

"So do I," says Chase, "I'm tired of this game! I'm tired of having to wait a whole day for a game that's 10 minutes or less! This is taking too long! Can't we just do something else? This is destroying all of us, especially Lexi! She's only 10!" Chase sighs out of frustration and sits on the couch in the lobby while everyone else is completely silent. The silence stays for a few minutes until suddenly everyone hears a noise come from above them. It's the intercom, "Well, I may have something else," says X.

"What..?" says Chase.
