Mandy couldn't make it anywhere without getting stopped. This time, it was by a giant… Well, maybe he wasn't a giant, but he was a lot taller than her five feet, six inches. " Hello?"

He grinned through the mask he wore. " You… look… lost." He spoke slowly, in strangled tones, like his vocal cords were scorched.

" I… I was just going to ring to test out some of the cameras… and see how I like them… I'm Mandy Tradfeld… They fired Alex, and I… uhm…" She stepped back. He was staring at her, intently, and she couldn't deal with the fire and pain she felt through his eyes.

He laughed, his laughter like a roll of thunder. " I'm Kane…"

She shook his hand; hers engulfed in his. She looked back up at him. His dark curly hair covered most of his face and mask. " I… I have to go." She quickly turned away from him, and she thought she heard him say something about blood, but his voice was so rich, and rumbling, she couldn't tell from the loud music she was hearing. She ran quickly down to the ring, and found a camera lying near one of the ring posts. Another note was tied to it.

Tears brimmed around her eyes and she touched it with her fingers, and jumped back. She didn't want to know. It was another letter, with only Amanda written on it. She crawled close to the ring, like she was going to pick up the camera, but she tore open the letter quickly, and unfolded the letter.

Mandy,

How do you like work?

Won't it be fun?

Have you even met me yet?

One word of advice…

When we meet…

Don't bleed…

Mandy covered her mouth and shoved the letter in her pocket. She struggled to pick up the camera, her arms almost not working. It felt so heavy, and a few tears spilled off her lashes. She couldn't let that person get to her. It… she couldn't. She couldn't let it…

Fears burned into her brain. She couldn't break; she had to do something. She had no proof that any one of these superstars were actually in this; it could just be a cruel joke. Rob could still be alive for all she knew. Mandy picked up her camera and tried to focus. She had to stay focused. That was the key factor. If she took her eye off what she wanted, she could lose the game… Mandy wouldn't allow that to happen. She couldn't lose. Her life was riding on this.

TBC…
