Chapter 2 - Top of the Tower
Sherman POV
"So, what do we do now?" I ask, as the door closes.
As if in answer, a voice answers.
"Unfortunates, you have been brought to this tower for my amusement. You will work your way down my tower, completing challenges together as a team. However, someone is not to be trusted. The saboteur! On each floor, a new saboteur is chosen, and it is their aim to make sure that the challenge is failed. Only one of you will escape this tower, and someone will be trapped on every floor. If the team pass, the saboteur is trapped. If the team fail, it could be any one of you."
She goes silent and a hexagonal box appears. It contains 8 golden ear pieces. The Voice explains that we must put them on our ears and it is how she will communicate with the saboteur in the games. As I put mine on, she screams in my ear
"Please jump through the trapdoor. You have a challenge to complete." This woman must be Ms. Grunion's sister. Surely!
The trapdoor opens up and we jump down it. As the last person jumps down, it closes.
"Floor Eight: The Lost Invitations. LINE UP!" screeches the voice.
