This is where the Pack comes in! ;) My latest addiction of them Youtubers.
This chapter is short, I know, but I was too tired. At least you guys know that it would be all the character's part of story for a few chapters before the real action kick in ;)

Jerome POV
I woke up earlier than usual today. Mitch and Alex are still sleeping, as I can hear their snoring on the other side of the corridor. If I'm not mistaken, Mitch actually stayed up to recorded videos last night. I guess he won't be up until noon.
I rolled out of bed and went into the bathroom, planning to get a head-start on videos. Alex said that there's a new restaurant in town, and we decided to go there for dinner. If I want to finish recording before dinner, I have to start early. I brushed my teeth and glanced casually into the mirror. Big mistake ever. I almost screamed at my own reflection.
I have what looks like tear stains near my eyes and 8 white tentacles on my back. If my eyes are bright red too, then I would look like a Ghast. To check, I leaned closer to the mirror. Luckily, there's no bright red iris.
I hear one of the bedroom doors opening. I can't let the others see me like this. Thinking fast, I grabbed my towel and wrapped around the tentacles, trying to make it look as normal as possible.
"Mornin' Jerome," Mitch entered the bathroom. He didn't notice the bulge on my back, and I didn't wait for him to find out. Instead of going back to my room, I went to my office and locked the door. I don't usually record with a facecam, so I don't have to bother scaring my viewers.
I set to my usual routine: recording, editing and uploading. I also read the comments on my last video while my video is uploading. Some of them are quite funny, while the rest made me think, 'Why didn't I think of doing that?'
"Jerome," Alex knocked on the door to my office. "I made coffee. Do you want some?"
"Sure," I got up and unlocked the door, remembering to hide most of my body. The tentacles were spread out when I first saw them, and I realize a little earlier that I can control it. The lights in my office are quite dark, so Alex didn't see the patterns on my cheeks. He passed me the coffee, peeking at my computer screen as he did so. It's his habit. Both me and Mitch had got used to it.
I locked the door again, sipping my coffee. Mitch just messaged me on Skype to chat with the rest of the pack about going to Minecon. It's going to happen in July, but everyone is excited. I can't say no, can I?
I joined the Skype call after unplugging my webcam. The others are already in, and I joined in the middle of their conversation.
"-should wear each other's Minecraft mask!" Preston said in his usual cheerful tone. "Then we let the visitors guess who is who!"
"That's too easy, man," Lachlan said. "They can still guess who we are. Oh hey, Jerome,"
"Hi," I greeted them, taking another sip from my coffee. "What had you guys been up to?"
"Preston said we wear each other's Minecraft mask and let the fans guess who we are," Rob answered. "That wasn't even hard for them, Preston,"
"I just think that it would be fun!" Preston retorted. "Jerome, where's your camera?"
I don't know what to reply. All five pair of eyes looked like they could see me even without the camera. "I… can't use it," I gave a lame excuse.
"I think we have waffles," Mitch said something out of the blue before disappearing from the camera. All of us are speechless before Preston started laughing.
I could have laughed too, but I heard the doorknob turning. Mitch is trying to open the door, my instinct told me. I looked around for a hiding spot, but saw none. No place is big enough for me to hide, and even if there is one, Mitch would find me. My secret would go out of the window as soon as he opened the door.
Mitch inserts a spare key into the lock and unlocked it. At the same time, I jumped up and pushed against the door. Mitch happened to be opening the door, so the force hit him hard.
"Ow!" Mitch yelped. "What are you doing, Jerome? Let me in!"
"No," I said, still pressing my full weight on the door. "You don't want to see me like this. Go away,"
"Jerome," Mitch said. "It's all okay. Just open the door and we'll see what we can do,"
"Just go," I realize I was whimpering. "Please, just go…"
"Okay," I heard footsteps leading away from my office, and I relaxed a little. The next minute, I was pushed back by the door. Mitch had tricked me. He is standing in the doorway, gaping at what he's seeing.
"Close the door!" I hissed, shutting the door. I don't need another person to see me like this right now. Mitch didn't even move. It's like he's paralyzed.
"Mitch?" I waved. He turned to me slowly with a strange gaze. Suddenly, he jabbed something into my side, injecting some sort of liquid. "Wha…?" I have no time to register everything. Before my vision went dark, I saw Mitch in his office on Skype. But he is in front of me right now. How did this happen?

Duncan POV
Life in the dome is just boring.
I can live without gaming, but not without my phone. I bet the others are trying to contact me and Kim. Maybe they'd even filed a police report to find us.
Jerome just told his side of the story, and Aquarius kept on telling him that it wasn't his best friend Mitch. She swears that it's some guy that is disguised like him. Her friend, Rex, said nothing. He's wearing some sort of school uniform, and Kim claimed that it's for secondary school students.
I could write more about our life in the dome, but it would bore you guys out. I'm gonna write who were sent in for the rest of the week, and then you can read their part of the story.
The day after Jerome and Rex, is Mitch (BajanCanadian) and Robert (Woofless).
The next day, it's Ian (SSundee) and Baki (He didn't tell us his real name but told us to call him Baki instead.).
Ashley (AshleyMarieGaming) and John (ZexyZek) came next.
Then it's Martin (Bodil40) and Simon (SimonHDS90).
Followed by Neonz and Preston (TBNRfrags).
Next is Hakime (or DeadKnight), Metro and Mass.
Last is Lachlan (CraftBattleDuty) and Vikram (Vikkstar123).
No one came after that, and the kidnappers began what they had wanted to do. But before we go into that, know the other's story.
