One Game. One Day. No Escape.

Chapter 1

It was night July 1983. A group of friends were playing horror games. The game was simple: find the diary, read it, and burn it. The game was always played by six people. Damien was the leader of the group. The other five friends were Darla, Liam, Alex, Amber, and Lily.

In the rules, there was information that the diary was in London, Baker Street, number 7. Since they were living in New York, they had a flight at 7 a.m.


Chapter 2

They woke up at 4 a.m. to pack their suitcases. All of them barely fit into one Uber. They were all excited for new adventure. After an hour of checking in at the airport, they finally boarded the plane.

When they were halfway through their flight, they had to put seatbelts on because of a turbulence. After whole flight, they got into an Uber and went to their hotel.


Chapter 3

After they took a nap, they decided to go find the mysterious diary. They got ready, and Darla was a little nervous.

Darla: I'm a little scared now. It's on whole different continent.

Lily: Don't be scared. It's just a stupid game. After we find the diary, we are going back home.

Darla: Fine. I will trust you this time.

They didnt knoe this wasn't just a game; this was a nightmare with no way out. Darla and Lily got back to their friends.

"Let's find diary, Six Degrees."

"Six Degrees" was their group name.

They called an Uber and told him which address they wanted to go to. The Uber driver was really suprised when they told him the address. He told them it was really old mansion with underground tunnels from World War II.

Uber: Are you sure you want to go there? I heard some teenagers went missing after they got there. Its pretty scary, so think twice.

Damien: We are sure. We are not scared of a little game, right guys?

Lily: Yeah, we're not scared. We alredy played many games like this.

Uber: Tried to warn you. This is the mansion.

They all looked at big, old mansion.

Damien: Lets go guys. Everyone got their backpacks?

All of them: We did.

They all had backpacks with many supplies like water, food, medicine and battery lamps.


Chapter 4

They all entered the creppy mansion. It was scary at first , but Amber found light switch.

Amber: Guys I found light switch.

Alex: Turn the light on. it's so dark here.

Amber: Why is there so much dust?

Darla: The Uber told you this mansion was from World War II. It's obviously full of dust. Seriously, turn the light on-it's so dark here.

Amber: Fine guys, but if this is not a light switch, I'm blaming you.

Amber pressed the switch, and the light turned on.

Amber: I guess this actually was a light switch.

They looked, not knowing what they were going to find in the big room. Liam spotted a black envelope in the center of the room.

Liam: Guys, I found black envelope. Let's read it. Are you ready?

Alex: Just read it alredy.

Envelope:

In this envelope are six keys. One key for each person. You need to find the secret door. After you find the door, you will need these keys. Good luck, players.

They all looked at each other, confused. They started looking for the secret door, but no one could find it. After hours of searching, Amber spotted something under the envelope. It was a button.

Amber: I think i found the door.

Darla: Press the button.

Amber: Fine. If something bad happens it's on you Darla.

Amber pressed the button, and a bookshelf moved, revealing a secret door. Liam was the first to open it and found room full of doors.

Amber: How many doors are here?

Damien: We better find out whose key fits wich door.

After a lot of searching, they reached the last door. First, Alex tried his key, but itwas too big. Then Lily tried her key, but it was too small. Third, Amber triedhers. her key fit perfectly. She unlocked the door, and everyone went through into a new room.


Chapter 5

They entered the second room. It was full of windows. Each window had a padlock. On the wall, written in big letters, were the words: Look how many players are here. They all started looking for which window was the escape. after hours of trying, they reached the last one. First Damien his key, but it was too small. Then liam tried, and his key was perfect. He unlocked the padlock and opened the window, only to find another room.


Chapter 6

The third room was full of mirrors. It was like a maze made of mirrors.

Darla: This is very confusing. Where is Liam?

Lily: I don't know where he is.

They walked for two hours until they finally reached a door. Darla opened it with her key. After they all entered the room, someone was missing again. Darla was gone. Since they were really tired, they dicaded to take a nap and then get back to the game. Alex was the first to fall asleep, then Lily, but Damien couldn't stop thinking about what had happened to his friends. Why are they missing? Was this some kind of joke, or something worse? Where are they? Were they safe?

After a long time of overthinking, Damien finally fell asleep. Suddenly Lily woke up.

Lily: Alex, wake up. Where is Damien?

Alex: Where are they?

Lily: I don't know.

Alex: If your key unlocks the next door, give me the key and get out of here. Understand?

Lily: Yes, but what about you?

Alex: I think I will be missing too. But you need to get out of here and tell police what happened.

Lily: Fine. Let's do this alredy.

There was one big door. Alex unlocked it with his key and let Lily walk into the next room first. After a while, Lily noticed that Alex was missing and that she was alone. She unlocked the next door, but then she disappeared too.


Chapter 7

What happened to all of them? Are they hurt? Where are they?

One last question at the end:

If the diary was never found, how did I know so much about it?
