No. That's not all, you have me"
Someone comes out from the shadow.
" Rex?" They all screamed in unison with excitement
" How are you here? why are you here? what are you doing here? how did you get here?"
" Too many questions Glory. But long story cut short, I came to find Pretela. Lizzy and Drizela told me what happened. So I came here ,snuck in through the garage which is for some reason is now locked and now I'm here. Saw when you guys came to the garage by way" Rex explained
" Well, I am so glad to see you" Prince said
" Me too. Chicken "
" So when did you get here? "
" Yesterday. I saw when you guys came here "
" Did you see who dragged us in?"
" No. There was a mask. I just want to let you guys know that this isn't just an escape room. it's more than that, it's a house."
" Great. Just great"
As walk away to clear my head I realized that there was a shadow
" Pretela "
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you"
" Glory can I talk you for a second? "
" Any problem?"
" Glory, it's something I need to get off my chest"
Then I thought, the crystal ball, Two people has a secret. I can't see them in the crystal ball unless I see them. Rex and Pretela.
" Please.."
Her eyes made it clear that she needed to share something, so why did it make me so nervous?
" I talk you later, after I clear my head"
" Alright then"
Two hours left, We have approximately two hours left to escape from this place and the host left us a stopwatch that's it. As least earlier we always had something we could build of on. whether that be a note, a secret door or something. But now we have nothing
" Glory come quick "
" What's wrong?"
" Look "
On the clock was Two hours later, With the long hand on Six and the short hand on twelve. Then the time started going backwards until the long hand was on four and the short hand on twelve. Then a note fell off. Before Rex was able to take the note, the stopwatch started beeping and it also went back in the time. He picks up the note and reads DEAR EXUBERANT EIGHT, HAVE TWO MORE HOURS TO RECOLLECT YOUR THOUGHT.
" do we have two hours break? " asked Nicole
" I think so, we have four more hours." Replied Glory
" So the time has gone backward " added Nancy
" The time is now 4:10" said Blake
"Blaze can I talk to you?"
" Yeah sure "
TIME :4:13pm
They walk to the dinning area
" What's wrong Glory?"
" What the hell was that, Braun?"
" What was what?"
" You just lied to the rest of the group"
"woah. Quiet down Glory"
" Enlighten me"
" What do you want me to say? I already did it."
" Maybe you can start with.. hmm... I don't know.. why you lied?"
"I lied for the better of the group"
"well, you could have at least let me in on this plan before executing it?"
" I wasn't planning on lying. But then I realized that it was a better alternative than telling them that we were just having hallucinations or something we ate. let alone provided by the host?"
" Why was lying a better alternative? "
" Do you want them doubting our mental stability? and I don't trust them. If we would have told them they might believe we were still under the influence and probably not let us do anything for the rest of the night and I won't let that happen. I was just trying to avoid potential argument "
" I see what you mean Braun, I really do. But it's like a domino effect. one person lies and everybody else follows. we need to be honest each other"
" Yeah. I know "
" I think we should tell the others what happened "
" Well I thought you meant no secret moving forward"
" No i meant.."
" well, there's nothing we can do now. I already lied. we might as well just leave well enough"
" No, Braun....."
Pretala walks up them
" What's up prizzy?"
" Can I talk to you now?"
" Okay fine let's go talk upstairs in the bedroom where nobody would disturb us "
" Alright "
