It's the next day and the group walks into the lobby, it's time to think of another plan while they wait for X's voice.

"Are you guys ready for the game this time?" says Chase.

"Not at all, it's not like we have a choice though," says Blake.

"I agree with Blake, I hate this game," says Lexi.

"Let's try not to be too negative. You know, we're actually a bit more used to it this time, maybe we can all escape unscathed this time," says Ana.

"That's true, Ana, you're really smart!" says Carly.

Ana covers her face with one hand and turns away, "What? It's nothing, it's what anyone would say."

"Alright lovebirds, you can do this later," says Joseph chuckling, "but Ana, you do have a good point, we did try to make strategies last time but they didn't really go well considering, you know, me and chase."

"Do you think we should try thinking of more strategies?" says Rachel.

"Of course! Does anyone have ideas?" says Joseph.

"Wait, didn't Lexi have an idea last time? We were never able to hear what she wanted to say," says Blake.

"Oh yeah, you're right, thanks for reminding me," says Joseph, "Lexi, what was your idea?"

"Um, I was thinking we could get into groups, that way if somebody dies, we could have a better idea of who killed who..." says Lexi.

"Lexi, I think that's a great idea! But wouldn't X just erase our memories as to who as with who?" says Carly.

"Well, I don't think so," Ana points out, "he did say he would erase our memories if anything about roles could be leaked, but he was talking about if that happened during the games, he never said anything about doing it while we were out of the games."

"Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking!" says Lexi.

"Well it's worth a shot," says Joseph, "I'll assign the groups since I don't think we have much time until X comes on the intercom. Lexi, you'll be with me, Ana, and Carly, you two will be a team, and the last three will be Rachel, Blake, and Chase."

"*You have got to be kidding me! Rachel on my team, really?! I have to let Blake know my suspicions about Rachel,*" Chase thinks to himself.

"Hello players!" says X taking over the intercom, "did you guys miss me, I bet you did, how is everyone doing?"

"Stop with the jokes, X. Just get on with it already," says Blake, his tone irritated.

"Jeez, don't get your panties all in a twist! Anyways, we will now begin the 3rd game!"

"Hurry and get it over with!" says Chase.

"Yeah, let's get this over with," says Rachel.

Chase looks back at Rachel as she gives a smile to him, he turns away immediately as X continues with what he was saying.

"Well, if you say so!" says X.

"MANSION HAS BEEN LOADED," says the robotic voice.

"Game starting in 10..."

"Everyone get to your groups!" says Joseph.

"9..."

"Pleased to be your partner, Ana," says Carly putting out her hand.

"8..."

"Same here, Carly," says Ana shaking Carly's hand and smiling at her.

"7..."

"Hi, Joseph! I'm glad you're my partner!" says Lexi.

"6..."

"Same here kid, let's do this," says Joseph giving her a fistbump.

"5..."

"I'm glad we're a team, guys! Let's do this!" says Rachel.

"4..."

"I agree! I'm excited to work with you two!" says Blake.

"3..."

"Yeah... let's do our best guys!" says Chase.

"2..."

"*You got this Rachel, kill them all,*" Rachel thinks to herself.

"1..."

"*Shit, shit, shit! Protect everyone, Chase! You're the only one suspicious of her!*" Chase thinks to himself.

"The game has now started everyone! Good luck and don't trust people too easily!" says X.

"Blake and Chase, over here! Follow me!" says Rachel. She starts leading them to the more hidden places on the map.

Blake starts running to catch up with Rachel, "This is a really good place you're going to Rachel, we'll be sure to survive," says Blake, "Chase, c'mon! You're being really slow right now."

Chase begins laughing as he talks so Rachel doesn't get suspicious, "My bad, Blake! I'm not really much of a runner."

Chase runs past a place that he thinks seems like a better place to go than wherever Rachel was leading them. "Guys, doesn't this seem like a better place to be in?"

Rachel tries hiding the anger in her voice, "No, Chase, it's too open, trust me, where I'm leading you guys is much better,"

Chase starts to stop next to the place he wants to go to, "But this place seems better, it may be more open, but there are more exits. Wherever you're leading us seems like it would get harder to get out of."

"Chase, come on. Why would we need exits to places when we plan to stay there for the whole round?"

"She has a point, Chase," says Blake.

"But you never know, even if we plan to be in there the whole round, someone could find us, and when that happens, it'll be hard to leave," says Chase, "*C'mon, Blake, get the hint!*"

"Chase, let's just listen to her, you may have some of a point but we can talk about that when we get to the place where Rachel's leading us," says Blake, "*Shit, I don't know why there's tension between those two, do they know something I don't?*," thinks Blake.

"I'm just saying guys, this place is closer anyways, let's just go here!" says Chase. "*Shit, I said that too loud! Rachel definitely thinks something is up now.*"

"Oh for hell's sake, Chase!" says Rachel as she proceeds to grab his wrist and start running, "Blake, c'mon!"

"Don't you think that was a bit much, Rachel?" "*I should probably just keep running and not question it, I don't want her grabbing my wrist too.*"

"Nevermind, I'm coming!" says Blake as he starts running faster to keep up with Rachel.

After running for about a few seconds, they reach the place Rachel intended to have them all go. From what she believes, 3 minutes have passed which is much more than she wanted to spend, she planned to kill them in the first minute, maybe two.

"We're finally here, sorry about that, Chase, I'm gonna go board up the door, I'll be back soon," says Rachel walking to the door. She proceeds to lock it and put up a chair to the doorknob.

"*Shit! That's the only exit! But, this is my chance to tell Blake, that I will help him survive this round. It's now or never.*" As Chase speaks, he barley goes above a whisper, "Blake, I need to tell you something, don't question it, just believe me, ok?"

Blake gets a bad feeling when he hears this, "Dude what? I don't like the tone of that, but go ahead."

"I think Rachel is the murderer."

Blake's facial expressions change from skeptical to distressed in a matter of a second, "What?! Are you serious right now, Chase, don't mess with me!"

Chase looks petrified as the panic rises in his voice, "Be quiet, Blake! She'll hear!"

Rachel goes up to them, "I'll hear what? Oh, do tell, Chase, I'm dying to know!" Rachel starts laughing unusually loud.

"Rachel, he's wrong right?? You're innocent right?!" screams Blake.

"No, no, he's right. I am murderer. Chase, a word of advice. Tell people these things a little sooner, besides he wouldn't have even remembered," says Rachel as she pulls out her knife, "see you later guys."

Chase and Blake start running but the room is only so big and after all, Rachel blocked the only exit. She stabs both of them in the back and blood starts dripping down, onto the knife, onto the floor, and onto the walls.

"2 down, 4 to go," Rachel says as she opens the door and starts running. She runs into the closets and sees Ana and Carly. "Perfect," she whispers to herself.

"Ana, are you sure this is a good hiding spot, it's really cramped," says Carly trying to find a comfortable way to sit.

"I'm positive, this is where I always hide, and I haven't died yet," says Ana.

"Ok... I'll trust you, Ana," says Carly giving a smile.

Ana returns the smile until she sees someone else.

"Carly... who is that?"

"Hm, who?" says Carly as she turns her head, "It's Rachel."

"We can't let her see us."

"Why not?"

"Just in case, you never know."

"Yeah, you're right, Ana."

"Hi, guys! Is this your hiding spot?" says Rachel.

Carly starts getting suspicious, "Rachel, why are you here and not with your teammates..?"

"Ugh, those two? They decided to go by themselves so I've just kinda been by myself since the game started."

Ana isn't buying it, "I doubt that. Blake already argued with us yesterday, so I don't think he would bring up an opportunity to get another teammate mad again and Chase includes everyone in everything, what's the actual reason?"

"You're so smart, Ana! You didn't believe my lie for a second, ok I'll just tell you. I killed them."

"W-what? C'mon Rachel, don't joke like that! Just tell what actually happened," says Carly trying to grab onto Ana for help.

"I don't think she's joking, Carly. RUN!" says Ana grabbing Carly's hand and trying to make a run for it. But, Rachel has already blocked the exits.

"W-what?! When did you do this?!" says Ana.

"And why would I tell you? Anyways, I'll see you two later," says Rachel running toward the two.

"No, please, stop!!" says Carly going in front of Ana, "You can kill me, it won't be a problem! We'll be forgetting this whole round in a couple of minutes so just let her go."

"Carly, don't be stupid! You've already died before," says Ana.

"Aww, how sweet! Too bad it's stupid though, anyways like I was saying before, I'll see you two later!" says Rachel giving a smile as she starts to pick up the pace on her speed. Rachel stabs Carly, 1 down, 1 more to go.

"RACHEL, PLEASE! DON'T!"

"Why are you complaining? After all, you get to join her," says Rachel.

Ana tries to think about it logically. There's no way for her to survive this. All the doors are blocked and Rachel is a very fast runner, It's better to give up.

"You know what, just do it. You've blocked off all the exits anyways," says Ana standing still, waiting for her to finish it.

"Why thank you for cooperating, it's very much appreciated," says Rachel running towards Ana, stabbing her. Ana drops to the ground as her blood seeps out of her. "Ok, I need to start running, after all, I still have two more targets and I don't know how much time I have left," says Rachel unblocking the exits and running.

"Joseph?" says Lexi while they sit in their hiding spot, "Joseph!" Lexi looks over at his face, he seems to be zoned out, "Joseph!!"

The emotion comes back to his face once he hears Lexi, "Yeah, what's up kid?"

Lexi's voice starts to sound worried, "Joseph, why haven't we heard anyone yet?"

"I wouldn't worry about it, I'm pretty sure they're all hiding, so they're just being quiet."

"Oh ok...but, why were you making that face though? You looked really upset."

Joseph smiles at her, "Lexi, kid, don't worry about it. I'm just tired, that's all."

"Alright! I'll believe you," Lexi goes back to being silent until she sees something, it's Rachel. "Joseph, look! It's Rachel! Should we say hi?"

"What?" Joseph becomes confused and peeks out of the hiding spot. Lexi was right, it was her but something seems off. She's by herself and she seems tired, she looks like she's been running across the whole map.

"Lexi, keep quiet."

Lexi nods her head in agreement as Rachel is trying to look around for them, she hasn't found them yet. Joseph keeps his head out for a little longer, just to see what Rachel will do. Bad idea. Rachel saw him. He puts his head back in the door and shuts it.

"Lexi! Stand away from the door, Do not get close to the door at all, ok?"

"W-what? Why?" Lexi stands up to do what Joseph asked, but she's not fast enough. Rachel has stabbed her knife through the door stabbing Lexi in her chest.

"LEXI! Rachel, you asshole!"

Rachel opens the door with her knife held up to defend her, "Woah, Woah, don't curse when the kid-," she stops mid-sentence. Joseph has his gun pointed at her and doesn't look hesitant to shoot whatsoever.

"You kill me, and I'll kill you, Rachel," says Joseph having the gun aimed at her head while the knife is aimed at Joseph's chest.

"Are you sure about that, Joseph? I'm pretty fast, I don't think you'll get a chance to."

"Try it. I dare you," says Joseph; his voice cold and his eyes vacant.

"Ok," says Rachel running towards him and stabbing him in the chest, but Rachel has been wounded as well. As Rachel stabbed him, Joseph shot her in the chest. They're both dead.

"Yeesh, that's embarrassing!" says X over the intercom, "I can't even do a countdown anymore, none of you guys will hear it. Whatever."

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

"Ughh, I don't feel so good," says Lexi.

"Neither do I," says Chase.

"I can explain that for you guys!" says X over the intercom, "So basically the explanation you guys don't feel so good is because... you all died!! I mean, how does that even happen? I must admit it was interesting to watch but yeesh! I'm not even gonna mention how many lives you guys have left just subtract 1 from the lives you had before," just like that, as you guessed, X is gone.

"WHAT?!" screams Blake.

"Blake, calm down!" says Chase.

"Blake, We'll talk about this tomorrow, just keep quiet!" says Carly.

Blake decides to actually listen. Everyone is in shock but just genuinely does not have the energy to talk about it now, it's a problem for tomorrow.
