I had already taken the risk of a daring kiss, and the rush of adrenaline I had felt had been both thrilling and overwhelming. But how much more could I handle? I had already faced the challenge of Killian's dare, and I still felt my face flush at the thought. What more was stored for my own tasked game later on? To be honest, all of this shits was a challenge I had never even faced before, and I couldn't help myself from feeling high as I held my breath trying so hard to situate myself from both the dream and reality of the clouds I am floating in. But the moment passed, and I was stuck waiti

Though, it has ended, I know, it was far from indeed over. Actually, according to Ms. Rose, we were just getting started. As Saturday dawned, the academy returned to its typical routine, but the feeling of mystery in the air lingered like a dark and sinister fog. Still, the challenge of last night's had been swirling around my hazy consciousness, as for the first time ever, I had seen the teens around me and oddly myself too, who mustered the courage to take on the most daring tasks and uncover the most hidden secrets. It was like, I couldn't help myself but to reflect on the events that had taken place the hours ago. One minute, we had gotten together to play a game of truth or

The air is chill, the grass and trees standing like proud sentinels was hovering above me as I traversed the school grounds with my friends. The few trees on the grounds swayed in the cold breeze, their rustling leaves seeming to imitate the conversations taking place around me.Since it was our traditional free day, and even though the sun hadn't quite emerged to bring the warmth of day yet, the students were already out, their chatter and laughter ringing through the dreary morning.The hallway filled up quickly with my fellow schoolmates, their conversations and gossips filling every inch of space, as if it was a damn life-giving energy that was absent from the previously still and silent grounds.The sun slowly rose and the chill began to dissipate, bringing warmth t

When it's rays are somewhat beginning to peer its way over the horizon, that's when the students of the Institution arrived at the threshold of their respective rooms. No student was like the next, each attending the academy for a unique purpose. It was an early morning ritual at the academy, one that signified the start of another day — another brand new and dark semester of subjects to venture through.In the midst of this lighthearted atmosphere, however, a solemn presence also hung in the air, like a veil of darkness. It was as if something unspoken was held in the minds of each and every student — an unknown worry or fear that shrouded their conversations and pursuits in a dark and mysterious tone.Whether it was the fear of t

Every corner seemed to be a cacophony of whispers and glances in my direction. I tried not to pay much attention to it, but the noise was becoming too loud — like a growing storm that was threatening to blow me away. As I cascaded down the cold and unfamiliar path, passing by students who were chatting about me, I can hear occasional murmurs of my name and conversations that seemed to stop as soon as I approached. I felt like their incessant gossips about me was seemingly like ghost gliding across the floor, as their whispers and rumors followed me everywhere into every bits of the space. My stomach churned both nervously and furiously, and I wanted to turn around and run away. But I didn't. I kept walking, pretending I couldn't hear the snide remarks and judgmental stares. I k

As I walked through the assembly halls once again, Serene asked me those queries like a normal kick starter yet I'm deadly sure inside her, she already knew the answer to those. She asked as if this were all perfectly normal. As if we were not dancing on the strings of puppeteers who cared nothing for our well-being.As she walk together by me, side by side she playfully nudged me with her elbows while wearing a grin on her face — which probably pertains to the harsh truth that I am still not getting used to the wicked games that their institution has been forcing me to play with. That's not entirely a lie though. She's right, she's always been right about this — I would never get used to the wicked games their school forced me to play, the lies they wove around me, binding me ever tigh

It seemed to close in around me, suffocating and claustrophobic. An icy grip of dread and doom seized my heart as I thought of what horrors this place might contain. The shadows seemed to dance and whisper at the edges of my vision, mocking and jeering. "Fuck, Ruby. You better knew where this one will end," I was infinitely cursing myself under my breath as I take in the dread with my eyes closed. I knew I shouldn't go in, that this was a terrible idea. But my curiosity was piqued, and I had come this far. Grazing my eyes even more trying to shake the anxiety creeping up on me, I saw under the dim nights that the surroundings of the tent was a perfect chaos — where broken chairs and debris were strewn about, like it was remnants of s

I grip the steering wheel tightly, narrowing my focus to the treacherous track unfurling before me. I swerve to avoid the first jagged metal spikes jutting from the dirt course, feeling the tires scrape perilously close.I weave through the forest of twisting spikes, adrenaline pumping with each near miss. The other racers are struggling, tires bursting and cars crunching against the metal teeth. I push my vehicle faster, racing ahead of the pack. A huge pit of spikes suddenly rises in my path and I hold my breath, yanking the steering wheel hard to the left. My car spins out, tires squealing as I drift barely an inch from the deadly obstacle.The course hammers my vehicle as I barrel through the lap, more spikes emerging from the dirt without warning.

We had come so far already, completing challenges that had broken stronger teams. But this latest obstacle had extracted a terrible cost. The forest path seemed to stretch on forever, winding through the dense woods. No one spoke as we marched along the narrow dirt trail. The horror of losing Olivia to the pit of fire and snakes still weighed heavy on our minds. I could feel it pressing down on my shoulders, making each step harder than the last.Yet, I keep my eyes on the path, not wanting to see the faces of my remaining teammates anymore, as their eyes would show the same dread I feel inside — the guilt of surviving when Haley did not. We should have tried harder to save her,

It stretched the width of the cave, bolted firmly shut with bands of rusted iron fasteners that had long since seized in place. Not a single handle or keyhole marred its face, nothing that would suggest a normal means of opening. The only object attached was a strange rotating mechanism made of interlocking brass gears and iron rods, fixed to the door at head height. It appeared to be some kind of puzzle lock, the solution to which would allow the door to slide open on ancient mechanisms within the stone walls.As we studied the puzzle, I could almost feel unseen eyes watching from the darkness, hungry for those who would dare disturb this place. This lock was our only way forward, but it may also be our doom.

The wooden slats were worn and weathered, barely wide enough for one person to stand upon. I spoke up first, my voice wavering as I warned cautiously onto the bridge, grasping the side ropes for support. My tone was anxious and unsettled. "This bridge is barely wide enough for one person. So, one of our tactics is that we must cross in single file," Beatrice responded nervously from the shore, peering at the dilapidated bridge with trepidation evident in her quavering voice. "How do we know it will hold our weight?" Serene replied grimly in a matter-of-fact yet ominous tone, her voice betraying no fear but rather cold resolve. "We don't," she stated plainly. "But we have no choice. Stay close behind each other and move quickly. That's all we can d

The blurry shapes in the room came into focus after what felt like an eternity, my eyes adjusting to the dim fluorescent lights that cast shadows in every corner."Ah, damn this," I cursed as my body ached from the hard metal slab this wicked school called a bed. Every joint protested as I forced myself to sit up, my muscles stiff and sore from the unrelenting discomfort. The thin blanket provided no warmth, only adding to the frigid atmosphere that seeped into my bones.The silence was deafening, only pierced by the buzz of the flickering lights above. No sound came from beyond these walls, no comforting noises of life or activity. It was as if I existed in a vacuum, isolated and alone. My stomach churned from the lack of fo

Serene's jaw was set in grim determination, her voice low and gravelly as she muttered under her breath, "We can do this again, girls..." She stood rigid, feet planted firmly on the ground, hands balling into fists at her sides as she waited for the door to open. Olivia usually spoke softly and calmly, but now her brown eyes narrowed into slits as she surveyed the steel door before them, her tone sharp with warning as she said, "Stay close, we're going through hell again, much worse this time I fear." Her hand reached for the weapon at her belt in a practiced motion, fingers wrapping around the hilt with a sureness born from experience. Her eyes depicts that she had braved

I do not know how long we've been here exactly, left with only my thoughts in this empty void. Minutes, hours? Nonetheless, time has no meaning in this place anyways.A chill ran down my spine as I stared out at the barren landscape from the window, thinking of the role we were forced to play in this gruesome game. Yet my reverie about our place was shortly cut when my wristband beeped as it glows in an eerie crimson red hue, displaying Spencer's name crossed out with lines of permanent ink — confirming his death in the game.◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥A P L A Y E R H A S B E E N E L I M I N A T E D───※ · Student No. 5 - Spencer Sinclair · ※───⌧ Team : Scarlet Ravens⌧ Role : The A

Spencer's eyes lock onto mine, filled with the same hunger and ambition that I know burns within my own. Our companions stand ready behind us, waiting to see who will make the first move."Just leave, boys. It's ours to begin with." After Olivia's words, I took a glance at my teammates, seeing my own fierce determination mirrored on their faces, I knew then that we have come too far to back down now. This amulet calls to us, begging to be claimed. It calls to us as if, promising knowledge, winning and glory to whoever dares take hold of it since, as now, it was not any other jewelry, but inside it bears a key, a key to any important thing that maybe our way to reach this game's goal and win."The amulet stays with us and nothing you say will change that," Beat

Serene, Olivia and Beatrice huddled together behind me as we walked deeper into the crypt. "While we're here, let's also lookout for supplies," Serene whispered, "Food, water, medical kits, weapons. Anything we can carry as it may serve as a use for us later on. We cannot know what challenges awaits us further in," Nodding, we searched from crypt to crypt, finding only cobwebs and bones. The darkness seemed to press in around us, the silence thick with unseen menace. A cold draft whispered through the passage, snuffing out one of our torches and plunging us further into gloom. I drew my jacket tighter, feeling the hairs rise on the back of my neck as we pressed onward into the depths of the crypt, our remaining flames flickering weakly against the encroaching shadows.
