2. Chapter 1: Sleep-Over Crashers

"Hello?" Mike said. He was sleeping over at Cameron's house with Zoe and Gwen. Cameron's parents were out of town for the week so they kept Cameron company. They were in Cameron's bedroom. The girls got the guest bedroom. "What is it Mike?" said Cameron. "I thought I heard footsteps but I guess it was just my imagination." said Mike. Mike tried to go back to sleep but he kept hearing that sound of footsteps. "It's probably just Zoe or Gwen." Mike told himself. He did a bad job of convincing himself of that.

"I'm going to get a drink of water." said Mike. Mike went down the stairs and to Cameron's kitchen. He filled a glass and went to drink it but then a hand went over his mouth. It was Chef's hand. "Okay Mike. I have to do this. I am going to let you go if you drink all your water. I am just going to put something in though." He put a goop in the drink which quickly dissolved into the water. Mike squirmed a bit but then nodded yes. After he was let go, Mike took a big gasp of air. He did as he promised and drank the water. After a few seconds he felt dizzy. He knocked over his glass and fell over. "Please go outside into the van Mike." Said Chef. Mike felt like he spent his whole life following orders and found the van and climbed inside.

Back in the upstairs hallway, Cameron ran out of the room. He met up with Zoe and Gwen. "Did you hear that?" asked Cameron. " Yeah. Hope Mike's ok." Said Zoe. They all crept down the stair and found broken glass, Chef with a shocked face and no Mike. "What are you doing in my house." Cameron asked. " And where's Mike." Said Zoe. "And why are there 3 glasses of water." Said Gwen.

Chef moved aside and behind was a girl around their age. "Why don't you take a seat." She said. They all took a seat at the counter. "Hello. I am Mariam." She said. "I work with Chris McLain. Mike has agreed to come with me as will you. Why don't you take a drink." They all took a gulp of the water. They all felt dizzy and fell off their chair. "Go into the van with Mike." Said Mariam. They all did that and Chef slammed the doors shut. Mariam pulled out her cellphone and called Chris." We have them. You can get the contestants now." She said. She then hung up, hopped into the van and then drove to the sea port.
