The Lying Game

I stood inside of the police station waiting for someone to help me at the front desk. I heard whispers all around me, asking what I brought in next. It took about five minutes until a woman dressed up in a cop's uniform walked up to me.

"Elena Gilbert, what did you bring in this time?"

I dugged into my jean pocket and pulled out a dollar bill, handing it to her.

"Someone dropped it."

She looked at me, her blue eyes full of confusion but she took the money. The whispers became a bit louder. Saying that I was an honest girl but also foolish. I gave a smiled and turned on my heel, running out the building.

My name Elena Gilbert and I am a foolishly honest to a fault kind of girl. I never told a lie, even in my younger life. Even though I felt like people just keep taking advantage of me but I just keep moving forward. What is so wrong about being honest?

I walked to my front step and gave a confused look. There was a big black box on my porch. I looked around before going to it, to make sure that I wasn't being pranked like last time. But sure enough it had my name in big black letters and my addresses too. I bent down and picked it up, noticing that the box was a bit heavy.

"Elena!"

I turned around to see two girls running down the street, both waving a me. I gave a smile as I tried to balance the box in my arms. Then a thought occurred, my keys were in my jacket pocket. So I tried to reach down to get them but the box fell out of my arms. It fell with a loud thump and something fell out of it. My eyes widened and my heart quicken. What I saw were a couple of stacks full with one hundred dollar bills.

"What? You are kidding me right."

I bent down and hurried up, stuffing them back into a box. I picked it back up and to the door like a track star. Fumbling with the keys that were in my hand, it felt like forever before I found the right one. Once I placed it in the hole as twisted and the door opened. I ran inside, slamming the door behind me and I ran to my room upstairs. Once I got into my room I threw the box onto the carpeted ground, turned around and then locked the door.

"Oh crap, oh crap, why me!"

I turned around once again and went to the box, kneeling beside it and carefully opening it up. It was loaded with money! I slowly pulled one stack out and began counted it, sitting the ones I already count on my left side. Once I was done I came up with one million dollars. One million dollars is on my floor. All I did was staring at the big stack in front of me and gulped.

'What if I got mixed up in some Mafia stuff?'

I gather all my strength and looked to see if I missed something in the box. It wasn't money but a black envelope with golden letters with my name on it stood out to me. I slowly placed my hand in the box and grabbed it out. The envelope was smooth, I noted to myself as I ran my fingers along it, turning it around I saw three letters that were in gold also. LGT. My face twisted up as I thought was those three letters mean.

'Let's Get Tigger…no. Let's Go Trailing! No.'

I opened it and saw the dvd that was sitting there. I pulled it out and got on my knees, pushing the box from in front of me. Crawled to the TV and turned it on, placing the disc in the dvd player. The tv went black for a second, and then a man appeared. He wore a mask that was similar to the Jigsaw mask.

"Elena Gilbert…"

My heart started to skip a beat. He's deep voice almost sounded demonic. A shiver came up my back.

"I am happy to know that you will partake in the Lying Game."

"Lying Game?" I repeated to myself

"Since you have opened the box it means that you are willing playing the game. If you want to get out of the game you will have a debt of….one million dollars."

My eyes went directly to the stack of money that was sitting on the floor. Before I could think about what to do with the money his said,

"The money in the box doesn't count."

My heart dropped when I heard this. How was I supposed to get out of this game?

"The object of this game is to steal your opponent's money."

'You mean I have to play against someone!'

"If you win, we will collect your opponent's money and you will keep the money you started out with as the prize…but if you lose you will fall into the debt." He moved his head to the side, as if he could see through the tv and trying to look at the stacks on money, "The rules of the game are simple. One, you can do anything to get the money and the law enforcement wound not be involved. Two, you have to get your opponent's money in a month. And three, if you lose you will pay. Our debt collectors will do everything to get the money back. Even if it's your death that will repay us."

Then the tv went black. My body frozed up. What game….did I get myself into?
