p class="p1"Felix's head felt heavy when he woke up. Everything was blurry for a few seconds before his surroundings cleared. /p
p class="p1"Then his heart lurched. /p
p class="p1"This wasn't his room. /p
p class="p1"In fact, he'd never been in a room like this before. /p
p class="p1"This room was antique, with a deep velvet wallpaper decorated with golden accents every here and there. In each corner of the room, was a wooden column reaching from the floor to the ceiling. /p
p class="p1"Out of everything here, Felix liked the bed most of all, it was a queen sized, four poster bed with large velvet curtains positioned on each side. The bedcovers were a shade of blue, contrasting the red atmosphere. /p
p class="p1"On the bedside table, was a note. /p
p class="p1"emAll Employees meet in the dining hall at 8 AM. /em/p
p class="p1""Employees?" Felix said out loud before checking if there was a clock anywhere in the room. /p
p class="p1"There was a clock in the corner of the room, and Felix realised he was late. /p
p class="p1"8 AM. /p
p class="p1"He turned towards the wooden antique door on his right and exited the room. /p
p class="p1""Where is the Dining hall…?" He mumbled to himself as he paced the halls. This had be to the largest antique mansion he had ever seen, and the halls all had the same velvet theme like his room. While he was walking, he passed several rooms, all with name plates. /p
p class="p1"Markiplier/p
p class="p1"Danisnotonfire/p
p class="p1"RPGMinx/p
p class="p1"Jacksepticeye/p
p class="p1"All those names were weird. But there was something about them that seemed familiar, too familiar. /p
p class="p1"But he just couldn't put his finger on it. /p
p class="p1"But contrasting his nickname, Pewdiepie, those names weren't on his level. /p
p class="p1"Then he came to a room with a fork and a knife etched onto it. This must be the dining hall. /p
p class="p1"The room itself was very large, and fitted the antique theme of the entire mansion. There were curtains in each corner, and a large, crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. /p
p class="p1"In the middle of the room, was a large, long table and 15 more strangers sitting there. /p
p class="p1"They all looked familiar, too familiar. But Felix just couldn't put his finger on what was so familiar about them. /p
p class="p1"Something about their faces. /p
p class="p1"It's like they were the supermarket cashiers he bumps into every week. /p
p class="p1""Um… Hi…" Felix said, awkward. /p
p class="p1"'Hi…The brunet british man sitting at the table replied, equally awkward. /p
p class="p1"'So… Is this everyone?' An irish man said three seats away from the brit. His hair was dyed green, save for the sides, which were brown. /p
p class="p1"'Nah, I don't think so…' A black-haired man in a flannel said, sitting across from the Irishman. His voice was unnaturally deep. /p
p class="p1"'Well, what makes you think that?' A british woman remarked. /p
p class="p1"'Thing is, look.' A Hispanic woman said beside her. She pointed at the very end of the table, where there was an extra seat at the head. 'There's 17 seats, and 16 people.'/p
p class="p1"'Then… Who's the 17th?' Another british man replied. /p
p class="p1""I… Dunno." Felix replied before scanning his eyes over the sea of people seated. /p
p class="p1"A pale man, a fat guy, a normal looking guy with a beard, a brunet with blue eyes, and-/p
p class="p1"Finally, someone who Felix recognised. /p
p class="p1""MARZIA!" He yelled to get his girlfriend's attention. When she turned towards him, her eyes lit up. /p
p class="p1"'FELIX!' She yelped before bear-hugging her boyfriend. /p
p class="p1""Wait, you know him?" The Pale-skinned man said. He was also british. /p
p class="p1"'He's my boyfriend!' Marzia smiled. /p
p class="p1"Felix just waved awkwardly. /p
p class="p1""Well… Now that that's sorted…" A man with insanely curly hair up to his shoulders said. "Where are we, and why are we here?" /p
p class="p1"'I'll answer that question for ya!' Another voice said. It was behind the chair at the head of the table, and everyone's attention was on that spot. /p
p class="p1"Then, a little girl, no older than eight came out from behind there. /p
p class="p1"Her eyes were closed but smiling, and her outfit was one that you would NEVER expect from an eight year old. /p
p class="p1"Her dress was Gothic Lolita, a little black corset with a red ribbon tied around her neck. She wore a frilly jacket the same colour as her ribbon, and a frilly layered dress that reached to her calves. Her boots were polished into a charcoal colour, and half of her hair was dyed red, the other half black, completed with a red bow tie. /p
p class="p1"More like a Gothic Lolita Harley Quinn than anything else. /p
p class="p1"But when she opened her eyes everyone felt shivers down their spines. /p
p class="p1"If one were to say this girl's eyes were human, Felix would just laugh at them. They were cold, inhumane, and an unsettling shade of blood red. /p
p class="p1"Plus, this girl looked like a FUCKING DOLL. /p
p class="p1""Hiya! Nice to meet you all!" The girl giggled. "Boy, all your faces look so nice! No need to ruin it with that horrified look! you look like you've all seen a ghost!"/p
p class="p1"'Wh-What? Hey, where're your parents?' Marzia asked, look not changing. /p
p class="p1""Now, onto the question Danny asked!" The girl smiled, ignoring Marzia. "You're all here, because I hired you!" /p
p class="p1"'You're our boss?' A brunet man with a large beard said. /p
p class="p1""Hmm… Boss… Huh? That makes me sound all mean and bossy! I prefer CEO, it sounds more professional and nicer, I'm your CEO from now on!' /p
p class="p1"'So… We're gonna be your servants now?' The man said next to him. His hair was the same length as Danny's, only straight with a blond streak running through a lock of hair. /p
p class="p1""No silly~" She sing-songed. "You're all here as entertainers! I'm aware that you're aware that you have YouTube channels, right?" /p
p class="p1"'Yeah… So… What, we're actors for you now?' The british woman asked. 'I'm not dressing up as someone from a fairy tale!' /p
p class="p1""Oh how silly you are~" The girl threw her head back and laughed. "I'm not interested in those little kiddy stories!"/p
p class="p1"She gave them a wide smile. /p
p class="p1" /p
p class="p1""I only want to watch you all kill each other."/p
