Hello Peoples, I know I have another story started today but I had the best idea. I'm not sure if it has already been done, but oh well. It's sort of based on Solitary, which I've only seen once.
Summary - The Casts of Mackenzie Falls and So Random find themselves trapped in this series of challenges. The only problem is they can't hear or see each other. Who is hosting this tournament that has these teen stars going crazy for money.
Chad's POV
I saw someone striding down the hall. It was that mail delivery guy. Joe, I think it is.
"So Joe, do you have my fan mail?" I asked, looking down into his almost empty basket I assumed he didn't.
"No, I don't and my name is Josh. I was sent here with this package for you from an anonymous person."
"AAAAAAAAH" I screamed. I swore I could hear Sonny laughing from a few halls across. Stupid cute laughing Sonny.
"What's wrong?" Joe asked.
"It's a bomb isn't it, Joe?"
"Okay, again my name is JOSH not JOE. Secondly, let go of this shirt, it cost a lot. And third, it came from someone inside the studio. I can guarantee you it is not a bomb."
"So who's it from?"
"I'm not obligated to answer that."
"I'll give you $5."
"I'm getting paid way more than that for this assignment."
"I'll double it."
"I doubt it. You would not believe how much I am getting paid."
"Oh yeah, how much is it?" I asked. Desperate for information.
"Well as much as I'd love to stay and chat, I can't. I have to go find Marta."
He scurried off before I could catch him. I might have followed him if I didn't hear my phone beeping. I looked down at the screen and there was Sonny's picture on top of the buttons 'Read' and 'Back'. I opened it and read it.
Hey Chad.
Did u get a weird anonymous envelope?
xx Sonny
Maybe everyone at the studio was getting these envelopes. I decided if Sonny had one too, then it might have been safe to open. I ripped the side of it and a small key fell out the hole. I picked it up and read the tag on the key. It had a number 6 on it and Chad. This was looking very suspicious. Also inside the envelope was a note. It had been printed off, so I had no shot at recognising the person's handwriting.
Chad,
You may have noticed you have a key with the number six on it. This is YOUR key to YOUR door. Do not give it to anyone else or open your door before 12:34 pm. At 12:34pm you will enter the room via the door in stage eight marked with a six. Once done, hand your key to the assistant in the black suit. Also, do not bring your phone, pager, iPod or any other means of technology. The only objects you are allowed to bring are the clothes you are wearing.
Failure to comply with these rules could result in the loss of your job.
See you soon,
The Gamekeeper.
Holy crap! This thing was getting creepier and creepier every second. I folded up the note and placed it in my dressing room on the little coffee table. Who was the gamekeeper? Then I thought about it. It was probably Mr. Condor, with another one of his bonding exercises.
Wait, if it was Mr. Condor, he would have put his name on the note. Then we would have to go. The idea just got more and more confusing. I checked the time it was 12:32pm and I realised although I had no idea what was going on, I had to get there. The greatest actor of our generation cannot show his greatness without his job.
I left all my technology in my dressing room and headed over to Stage 8. Surely enough there was a door with a large 6 on it. No one else was around, which explains why I was given a specific time to come. I hesitated while twisting the key with the blue tag in the lock. The door swung open, and, as promised there was a man standing there in a black suit.
"Are you the one collecting my key?" I asked, realizing I was trapped now, waiting on whatever The Gamekeeper had in store for me. He just nodded, took the key, walked out and locked the door behind him.
Sonny's POV
Josh came over here, carrying virtually no mail in his cart. It looked as if there was only enough for ten people. He handed one of the envelopes to me and one to Tawni. And without saying a word he headed off to Nico and Grady's dressing room.
"What do you think it's about?" Tawni asked, clearly as confused as I was. The envelope was signed as anonymous, and there was a small object inside that felt like a key and a key tag. I peeled off the top of the envelope and pulled up the key with a yellow key tag. On it there was a 2 and on the other side was Sonny. Tawni pulled out a pink key tag, with a 1 and Tawni.
I checked my envelope for anything else and luckily there was a note.
Sonny,
You may have noticed a key with the number two on it. This is YOUR key to YOUR door. Do not give it to anyone else or open your door before 12:24pm. At 12:24pm you will enter the room via the door in stage eight marked with a two. Once done, hand your key to the assistant in the black suit. Also do not bring your phone, pager, iPod or any other means of technology. The only objects you are allowed to bring are the clothes you are wearing. We advise against wearing heels.
Failure to comply with these rules could result in the loss of your job.
See you soon,
The Gamekeeper
Tawni's note was almost the same except it said one where mine said two and she had to be there at 12:22pm. Then I heard a squeal that any other person would have recognised as a girl about to get raped, except for those working at Condor Studios, who had recognised it as Chad. I started laughing really loud. I realised Chad must've received one of the envelopes as well so I sent him a text.
Hey Chad.
Did u get a weird anonymous envelope?
xx Sonny
I waited nervously for a reply when I noticed Tawni leaving. I checked the time on my phone and it was 12:21pm. Studio 8 was in the middle of the studio and it was the largest one. I put on my boots without the heels and decided I should head over there too.
The note didn't really miss any details. There was a man in a black suit collecting my key. What I didn't realise was that I locked in a room with no windows, just an air conditioning vent. I was really glad that I had got over my claustrophobia several years back. Because even now I still felt a bit nervous. After about twenty minutes of waiting I heard an announcement over the speaker. Their voice had been disguised and it sounded like a robotic woman.
"Hello victims. Welcome to my game. I'm glad to see you all made it. As a result none of you are fired...yet. Now I hope we all remember our numbers."
I couldn't find a camera so I just answered. "Yes."
"Congratulations, for these numbers are your new names. I will call upon you with the title victim and your number." Yawn. This was getting boring. "You will all have to compete in challenges over a series of levels. The person who comes last in the challenge will be eliminated. The last star standing will receive $500,000."
My eyes shot up at that last part. Half a million dollars. And it could all be mine. I mean how hard could these challenges actually get?
Chad's POV
"Hello victims. Welcome to my game. I'm glad to see you all made it. As a result none of you are fired...yet. Now I hope we all remember our numbers."
I started nodding, not knowing where the camera might be.
"Congratulations, for these numbers are your new names. I will call upon you with the title victim and your number. You will all have to compete in challenges over a series of levels. The person who comes last in the challenge will be eliminated. The last star standing will receive $500,000."
$500,000. I know I already have more than that, but if I won and donated it to charity maybe Sonny might like me more. Ok, I admit, maybe I like Sonny, a little bit, and maybe I want her to like me too. How hard could these challenges get anyway?
Tawni's POV
"Hello victims. Welcome to my game. I'm glad to see you all made it. As a result none of you are fired...yet. Now I hope we all remember our numbers."
I just looked around for a camera, and when I couldn't find it I just called out 'one'.
"Congratulations, for these numbers are your new names. I will call upon you with the title victim and your number. You will all have to compete in challenges over a series of levels. The person who comes last in the challenge will be eliminated. The last star standing will receive $500,000."
That money is mine. I know it. I mean, how hard can these challenges get anyway?
Nico's POV
"Hello victims. Welcome to my game. I'm glad to see you all made it. As a result none of you are fired...yet. Now I hope we all remember our numbers." I nodded.
"Congratulations, for these numbers are your new names. I will call upon you with the title victim and your number. You will all have to compete in challenges over a series of levels. The person who comes last in the challenge will be eliminated. The last star standing will receive $500,000."
I have to win that money. Then Marta would have to go out with me. She would just be swooning over me. Just like every other girl. How hard could these challenges get anyway?
Grady's POV
"Hello victims. Welcome to my game. I'm glad to see you all made it. As a result none of you are fired...yet. Now I hope we all remember our numbers." I nodded.
"Congratulations, for these numbers are your new names. I will call upon you with the title victim and your number. You will all have to compete in challenges over a series of levels. The person who comes last in the challenge will be eliminated. The last star standing will receive $500,000."
That money will be mine. And it's gonna buy my own gaming room. And a whole lot of cheese. How hard could these challenges actually get?
Zora's POV
After hearing the announcement over the speaker I was in a total frenzy of determination to win. I don't even know why I want the money. I just do. How hard are these challenges gonna be anyway? Sonny probably made them all up.
Marta's POV
THAT MONEY IS MINE. I know it. And when it is mine, I'll have something else to prove that I am way out of Nico's league. Besides, these challenges wouldn't be hard.
Ferguson's POV
I have to get that money. Then Chad won't stop making such a big deal about how he's the greatest one on our show. These challenges would be easy, especially with the determination I had.
Chastity's POV
I am getting that money. And I am going shopping. And I am going to win. I had no idea what these challenges were but I knew I was going to win them.
Skyler's POV
I, unlike many other people in this challenge, have a need for that money. Electronic Man-Scaping Devices are not cheap. These challenges are so not going to be anything.
So peoples I stopped repeating the intercom bit because I realised how annoying that might get.
Please tell me what you thought. If I don't get at least three reviews I am not updating. And this time I'm sticking to it, because I have another story that I can update instead of this one.
I am going to have nine challenges, and I already have a few ideas, but feel free to recommend some.
LUVV YA.
