"Careful, child. I have that young girl trapped somewhere... Somewhere where you can't get her, or talk her through. She's alone, and I can easily cut her off of life while she's like this. I wouldn't be so calm with those blades while she's stuck. Awe... Poor boy, I can see your tense, I can feel your fear, it's a beautiful thing for a thing like me to see." Bonnie said, his voice faint, fuzzy, and overall demonic as he observes the human closely, enjoying finding how the victims act in certain situations. Though this puzzled the rabbit, normally the older did not care for the young, it was a free for all... Yet this boy wanted to protect the young girl that could clearly slow him down? You've just met this girl, and you're attached! Ha!" He bursts out into laughter, maybe the only normal thing about the rabbit was his laugh that echoed through the party room, filling Clifford's ears.

"You... You monster!-" Clifford yelled, soon getting cut off by the rabbit who's eyes glinted with amusement.

"Why thank you. I try my best..." He whispers, slowly walking towards Clifford, Clifford could clearly see himself in the reflection of his magenta eyes, a small amount of red tinted within them, they had a glassy look, Clifford wasn't sure if his eyes were real, or just balls of glass.

"Where is she, mentally. She's physically here... But where did you take her?" Clifford asked, his voice a bit shaky, odd for a boy like him, normally seen as a mentally strong boy for the life that he's lived.

"Oh... She's having a little chat with Bon. If you live long enough then you'll figure out the chat the two are having." He does a full charge on Clifford who quickly ran to the right, with his blades to the left, only nicking the skin of the beast who didn't flinch at the feeling of a blade slightly digging into his flesh.

"Good job! Keep it up, distract him until the girl comes back. The person she's talking to might give us information we need. Move carefully, keep a close eye on his movements, and we'll help you!" a girl's voice echoed, causing Clifford's eyes to glance over at a group of four, each holding their own weapons. A faint feeling of hope raised in his chest as he felt that this might end better if everyone was planning on making a large group of friends instead of doing what the rabbit said has happened before, a free for all.

"Names Clifford, I'm trusting you on this. I'm not sure if they will help us, they are trying to just kill us so they can get the next children!" Clifford says as his blade collides with the long steel claws of Bonnie who had a painfully wide grin plastered on his face. Clifford's arms shook as he held his breath in his throat. They both began to push against each other, Clifford slowly sliding back as he tried his best to hold the rabbit back.

"Mariana's the name." A ginger haired girl quickly changed from her slow walk into a jog, a large scythe by her side, she didn't have the intention of killing the rabbit, just to hold him off, and help a fellow human out of a hard place and a painful death. She swung her scythe, it knocking against the claw, making it slide across Clifford's blade, sparks flying in the air as the pressure was put off of his arms.

"Thank you, Mariana" He whispered, letting his arms drop to his side as he gripped onto the blades still.

"Kaylana.. Are you ready? You need to be fearless, we are all fighting for the same thing. Don't fear Clifford or the child... We will all get out of this alive, why don't you stand guard with Alex next to the child, you two can protect her." Alex whispered softly to the twelve year old, and the second youngest out of the group, nudging her toward Alex who already went dashing towards the limp girl, Kaylana quickly following after him with with blade steeled daggers on her small hands.

Alex smiled at the Gracelynn, gently rolling her onto her back, moving her raven colored hair out of her eyes, a puddle of dark hair around her small body as she lays limp, have a 'talk' with Bon.

"So... We're meant to protect her? From the neko?" Kaylana asked softly, hitting her daggers together softly. Alex simply nodded, his weapon was steel claws like Bonnie's, though this could be taken off easily, at the moment they were on his fingers, the jagged metal made it something dangerous, accurate, though he couldn't protect himself from an attack from it.

"So... We can't kill any of you off because the man who has created this world is just controlling your bodies, making you want to kill us, but you just really want to help us?" She asked the man in front of her, having the same look as Bonnie, though blood did not ooze from the cuts, the thin lines coming from his mouth was woven shut with stitches, and he had pure magenta eyes.

"That's correct young one, I would never wish to hurt what I once was. We are all phantoms forced into the bodies of these people that the man created, then when the time is right makes it so we attacks the living. You may kill the humans, but he repairs them once you lose the game... You must keep us alive, trust me." Bon have the child a small hug before placing his middle finger and pinkie on her forehead, his eyes casting a blinding light, sending her back into reality.

Gracelynn gasped loudly as her mint colored eyes opened wide and she shot up from where the laid, taking in the fight Clifford, Mariana, and Axel were having. Her blood freezing as she stares at the two fight the rabbit she was just speaking with.

"Clifford! Stop, he's friendly! We need him, the game creator is making them act this way! Please, don't kill him... We will lose this game if you do..." Pain filled her voice as Clifford swiftly dodges all the attacks the corrupted rabbit threw at him and the others.

"Grace!" Clifford screams in relief as he looks at the small girl sitting up between the two guards who were looking back at her.

"Hello Grace... My name is Alex." He whispers, kneeling down in front of the girl, admiring the coloring of her eyes, never seeing a thing quite like it. She holds his hand out, feeling her fingers weakly tighten around his hand as he helps her out. "And where is your weapon?" He asks softly, being careful with his claws.

"Well one of those swords are mine... I think." Gracelynn points to Clifford who held the two blades, continuously striking the claws, pushing him back.

"Hmmph... Not sure if that's true, each of our weapons fit us, and those swords look much to heavy for you. Like Kaylana has two daggers because she's a very swift girl able to dodge and attack quickly." Kaylana blushes lightly as he pointed her out in a positive way, twirling the daggers in his fingers with a faint smile.

"Stop! I'm sorry!" Bon cries in a less demonic voice than before, holding his hands up as the metal slowly becomes a silver clouds that drifted above their heads. The fighting has stopped, all three of the alive humans dropping their weapons, panting heavily as they blankly stared at the normal looking neko like human.

"Bon!" Gracelynn yelled as Bon turned from the others and gave her a gentle smile.

"We meet again young one! Thankfully you have listened, and believed my words…. I owe you this life. Thank you young one, it seems the youngest are the ones who will believe as they are told. In a place like this it is much better to believe in fantasy than reality." Bon whispered, hugging the young child. He had not died today, the first day of the game, and that almost never happened…. they always killed him.

"What you must seek is a red satin river. It contains the tears of the fallen, and the fears of the ones locked within their false bodies. Tie this item up tightly, it'll look decent on one of your fellow contestants." A face said, though nobody besides the humans, and Bon were seen. Only Bon knew what the item was, and if said they would all be sentenced to death within seconds.

"I wish you the best of luck on finding this item…. I may not help you or you'll all be gone within minutes." He spoke softly, rubbing Gracelynn's hair before fading into nothing more than black smoke that Gracelynn tried grabbing at.
