It's the next day and it's time for the 4th round of the game.

"Guys! C'mon it's time to get up!" says Joseph knocking loudly on everyone's door, "I wanna discuss a few things before the game starts!"

Blake is the first to come out, "Dude, what the hell, you're so loud," he rubs his eyes as he walks out.

"Blake, it's 11 AM, there's no way you just woke up. Besides, I wanna talk about a few things before we go into the game."

"Whatever, I'm going to the lobby, you better hurry up and get everyone else out of their dorms," Blake starts walking away.

After Blake, Rachel is next to leave her dorm. "Good morning, Joseph! I'll just hurry and go onto the lobby!" says Rachel leaving as fast as she got up.

"Um, alright Rachel! "*she's a little too energetic but it's fine I suppose.*"

Rachel walks into the lobby, "Hi Blake! How are you doing?"

Blake gives an annoyed laugh, "Well, I was good until I got woken up, you're as loud as him, you know that?"

"I'll just take that as a compliment. Anyways, I'm looking forward to working with you, Blake! We'll make a great team!" says Rachel holding her hand out for a handshake.

"Yeah, I suppose we will," he says as he takes her hand and shakes it.

"We're all here!!" says Lexi announcing everybody else's entrance.

"Yes we are, Lexi, so, Joseph, what did you want to talk about before the game?" says Carly taking a seat on one of the couches.

"Well, I was thinking, should we stay in our same teams? Or we could maybe switch the teams up?" says Joseph.

"What's the need for switching the teams?" says Rachel, "if everyone will just die again, there's no point in switching."

"It's just an idea, it's not exactly foolproof yet," says Joseph, "hmm, would anyone like to work by themselves at all? No one will get mad if you do."

One person raises their hand. "Actually... I would prefer to work on my own."

"That's fine, Chase, but since there's going to be no one watching over you and keeping you in line, make sure you don't do anything stupid," says Joseph.

"Got it," says Chase, "*I refuse to let you win, Rachel.*"

"*Perfect,*" thinks Rachel.

"Enough of your scheming, players! It's time for the game to begin!" says X over the intercom.

"TELEPORTING TO MANSION," says the robotic voice.

"Countdown beginning..."

"10..."

"I need to get away from everyone," says Chase.

"9..."

"Let's survive this, Ana! Take my hand," says Carly reaching out her hand for Ana to take.

"8..."

"Of course, Carly, we can survive," says Ana taking Carly's hand.

"7..."

"This will be our first official game working together as partners, Blake!" says Rachel.

"6..."

"Yeah, you're right, let's do this," says Blake giving a faint smile.

"5..."

"4..."

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

"Game commencing, good luck."

"Blake, follow me!" says Rachel running towards the more closed-off parts of the map.

"Ok, I'm coming!" says Blake running in order to catch up with her.

"Lexi, come with me, I'll protect us this time," says Joseph walking towards one of the bedrooms on the map.

"Got it!" says Lexi catching up to him.

"We're going to the closets like last time, right, Ana?" says Carly.

"Yes, that's correct. C'mon now, let's pick up the pace," says Ana grabbing Carly's hand for her to go faster too.

"Blake, let's stop here," says Rachel stopping next to the kitchen entrance.

"How come? I thought we were going to the closed-off spaces?"

"We will in a bit, I just wanna talk here for a little."

"What? What is there to talk about?"

Chase starts walking near the kitchen. As he turns the corner he sees a slight glimpse of Rachel and Blake talking. He looks Rachel in her eyes for a split second as he hides behind the corner of the wall, trying to listen in to what they're saying.

Blake turns his head, "Huh, did you hear something?"

Rachel sees Chase but decides not to say anything. She decides it would be fun to mess with him.

"Nope, didn't hear a thing. Anyways, what I wanted to talk about were my suspicions about everyone."

"Rachel, what are you talking about? Is this why you chose me to be your teammate instead of literally anyone else?"

"You were the best option, Blake! I mean, think about it. Ana and Carly are inseparable, Lexi is 10 so sometimes she won't be able to comprehend certain things, and Chase and Joseph are suspicious."

"Chase? Joseph? You've gotta be kidding. Those are the nicest people here."

"You're right about that, but they're too nice, it's suspicious, don't you think so too?"

"I could see how you might get that idea, but I doubt it."

"I'm not saying you have to believe me, but just keep your distance between Chase and Joseph, ok?"

"I mean sure I guess, I'll try. But you know you're gonna have to remind me about this out of the game too, after all, we won't be able to remember this conversation."

"Of course, Blake! Ok, we can go to the closed-off areas now!"

"Finally."

Chase turns furious, "*Oh hell no. I know she's not throwing me and Joseph under the bus right now.*"

Chase stops hiding behind the corner of the wall and reveals himself. "Hey, guys!" says Chase giving a fake smile "*I know Joseph told me not to do anything stupid but it's ok, I'll be fine.*"

"Oh, hey Chase! Are you good?" says Blake as he stops running.

"Oh yeah I'm good, I just wanted to say hi."

"Oh. Well, hi. I would like to talk more but Rachel and I are about to go, we wanna ensure our chances of safety."

"Oh no no, it's fine!" says Rachel giving a huge smile, "we can talk to him for a little."

Blake starts to whisper, "But, didn't you say-" Blake gets cut off mid-sentence.

"Blake, you're silly! I think your memory might be going a little weird, it's ok, we can talk to him!"

"Umm, so, have you guys found any leads?" says Chase.

"Hmmm, no, not yet. But, why are you asking us? After all, you chose to work on your own, am I wrong?"

Chase starts panicking, but he refuses to let it show. "Well, no, but-" he gets cut off mid-sentence just as Blake did.

"So you admit that I'm not wrong. I don't mind a little small talk but there's no point in asking us stuff related to the game, you chose to work on your own, so figure it out yourself."

"Rachel, I think that last part was a bit too mean, after all, it seems he was just curious," says Blake trying to diffuse the confrontation.

"But it's the truth, Blake. He should figure this out on his own since he chose to work on his own."

"Nah, don't worry about it, Blake, she's right. I'm gonna go now," says Chase walking in the opposite direction of those two.

"Oh, well bye, Chase," says Blake, "should we start running again, Rachel?"

"Oh, hmm, now that I think about it, you were right, I'm gonna apologize real quick, I'll be right back!" says Rachel as she leaves fast.

"Um, ok? "*That was a quick mood change.*"

"Chase, wait up!" says Rachel running towards Chase, "I wanted to apologize for being a little mean from before."

"Oh, it's no problem, Rachel. You were kinda right so I don't blame you."

"Oh thank god! Well, I guess I should apologize for this though."

"What are you talking about?" "*I know exactly what she's talking about, she's about to kill me. This will just help with my plan.*"

"This," says Rachel as she pulls out her knife.

"*Knew it.*" Chase thinks to himself.

The knife comes into contact with Chase's chest and blood just starts flowing out.

"Next time, just keep your mouth shut, Chase," says Rachel pulling the knife out of his chest.

"T-This is j-just proving my p-point, my plan w-worked," says Chase as he chokes on his words and drops to the floor, dead.

Rachel has a look of shock on her face, "*What the hell did he mean by that? Whatever, ignore it. You have to kill those two as well.*"

Rachel walks to the corner where Chase was originally and stops there. She clears her throat quietly. "*Time for some acting,*" thinks Rachel with a smirk on her face.

"BLAKEE!! BLAKE!! HELP, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH CHASE, GET OVER HERE NOW!"

"What!? What the hell happened, Rachel?!?!" says Blake as he runs over to Rachel's voice. Rachel pulls her knife out again as he turns the corner where Rachel was.

"Wha-" is the only thing Blake can get out as Rachel stabs Blake in the throat as he turned the corner. He drops to the floor and Rachel takes off sprinting for the next person she has in mind that she wants to kill.

"Where is he, where is he?!" says Rachel as she searches for him. "Wait! The bedrooms, he has to be there," says Rachel as she runs frantically toward the direction of the bedrooms.

"Joseph, are you sure we'll be ok?" says Lexi sitting next to the bed.

"I'm sure of it, we can survive this, there are only 1 or 2 minutes left, we can do this," says Joseph.

"Um ok..." says Lexi as she hears loud steps, "Joseph... did you hear that?"

Joseph steps up to the door, "*It's most likely the murder, I can't let Lexi die, I have to go.*" "Lexi! I'm gonna leave, ok? Stay here. Hide under the bed, I'm going now!" says Joseph as he opens the door and slams it shut.

"There you are," says Rachel.

"Rachel... are you murderer?"

"Why, yes I am, but, the question is, will you let me kill you?"

"Will you leave Lexi alone if I let you?"

"Yeah, sure. She's not a threat to me so I don't care if she survives or not."

"And I am?"

"Obviously. You're the leader of this group, of course you would be a threat," pulling her knife out for the third time.

"Fine. If you're so insecure about me beating you, then go ahead."

"With pleasure," says Rachel as she runs towards Joseph and stabs him.

"SHIT!" Joseph screams out of pain.

"Oh, was that not a critical hit? Whoopsies, let's try that again, shall we?" says Rachel as she stabs him again, harder than the last time. He drops to the floor.

"Joseph? Are you ok?" says Lexi as she opens the door hesitantly. As she opens the door, her face goes pale when she sees Joseph's dead body as his blood seeps into the floor. Her eyes widen as she slowly looks up at Rachel. Rachel gives a huge smile as she puts a finger up to Lexi's mouth. "Shhhh, Lexi."

"Time is up everyone!" It's time to come back to the lobby, good job to everyone who has survived!" says X over the intercom.

"Memory wipe commencing," says the robotic voice.

"Memory wipe complete, now teleporting back."

Everyone is once again back in the lobby, it's time for X to tell them the results.

"This was an amazing game, players! It's time for your scores!"

"Blake: 8 lives"

"Rachel: 9 lives"

"Chase: 7 lives"

"Joseph: 7 lives"

"Carly: 8 lives"

"Ana: 9 lives"

"Lexi: 9 lives"

"Ok I'm done now, talk amongst yourselves," says X as he steps off the intercom.

"So, Blake, Chase, and Joseph lost a life?" says Lexi.

"That seems about right," says Carly.

Rachel puts on her best fake sad face, "I am so sorry you guys lost another life..."

Chase looks straight at her and gives her a death stare. "*If I want my plan to work, I have to get Rachel to know that I know. I have to threaten her,*" Chase thinks to himself.

"Don't worry about it Rachel, it's fine. I think I can speak for the 3 of us when I say we won't go down, we won't lose," says Blake.

"You're right, Blake," says Joseph.

"We can focus on the details later, let's go and relax for now," says Ana.

"That's a good idea, Ana," says Chase.

"I especially mean this for you three, go get some rest, you need it," says Ana.

"Will do, Ana, c'mon guys," says Joseph as he's the first to get up and go to the dorms. Everyone else follows after him.
