As I look at the screen notifying me of the fact that I have leveled up I suddenly feel a slight headache and a laugh flood through me as I kick the dead body beneath my feet. I softly reply with a voice which had seemed like it had just returned from hell. ''open stats.'' As I said this I started walking back to my home.

I replied to the screen which had apeared before me with the same voice as before. ''put all 5 into speed.'' As these words left my mouth I noticed my speed go up by 3 times that, 15. Now my speed had become 24. As I took a step I flew foreward. One step was like 10. A rush of energy came over me. I started running back to the house which had been assigned to me. faster than ever I reached the house. I sat down on the couch feeling a bit woozy. That speed had made me feel a little sickish, My stomache was churning. I wanted to throw up but nothing came out. Until a second later blood spilled out. The blood clthed the floor with a blood red carpet. The walls were partialy covered in red due to the splatters of the blood which had come from my mouth.
The churning sensation had stopped the blood had quickly dissolved the floor gladly absorbing the blood which had come from my stomache. In the blood I saw the shapes of the things I had eaten. The lung the hand and all the other parts.
I stumbled back quickly and afraid but after I took the step I realised that I was not I was glad. A smile appeared once more. My laughing filled the room. A laughter that could shake someones very core. A laughter made up of the essence of my being.
I sat down on the bed and started thinking about all I had been though in just one day. As I sat down reminiscent of the past. I heard a bell far in the distance and then a booming voice from the person I had seen on the monitor before.
''Hello all who are in this game. Today shall be the first night. You will get one card allowing you to go into someone else's house, you can always try breaking in but that might not work. Only one person at a time will get the chance to go outside. after that person is back into their home the next person will go and so it will continue until we reach the person who was first again. Your target will also be decided when the being who will gives out the chance to go outside arrives at your door. Of course you can always ignore that and just go somewhere else. You have a max of 10 minutes outside if you have not reached your house by that time you will die. Oh I did not mean to say it like that, You just have to be in a house when the time is up. If you live with multiple people you will all get the chance at the same time. Have fun.''
A couple houses over I heard a door open steps tread onto the soft grass outside and then start running towards somewhere where I could not hear his steps anymore. He did not come to my door I expect that he either went out to relax or to another house faraway. After 5 minutes were up I heard his steps once again. knowing not his face nor name I just ignored this and sat on the floor until either someone broke into my house or it was my turn.
I heard the door of the house next to me open and close immediately after it was opened. A slight breeze was heard near my door before it went open in a violent manner just like the previous doors. He gave me a card upon which was shown the face of a little girl, if I had to guess I would say she was 15 years old. He next gave me another card which would allow me to open up one door without using any force. It was like a keycard.
I said with a low voice only hearable by the grimly dressed figure afront my doorstep: ''I will go out.'' The creature seemed to absorb my words and see their weight. He stepped aside allowing me to exit. I took a step onto the soft and tender grass. Some leaves crunched beneath my feet, somehow though there were no trees and no places leaves would fall from, I didn't even hear any leaves crunch under the other contestants feet. none of these leaves had existed for more than 1 minute. I looked around for a second and quickly ran towards a house around 13 houses away from my current house. I held the kay card like thing in my hand near the door and it creaked open. slowly I saw the figure of the little girl who could not be older than 15 years maybe even younger. Her tender long black hair reached the floor. Her eyes looking not at me but something afront me.
I walked inside and stood in front of her. She only reached my upper arm. I could see the part of her body which I had to eat already. She could probably see bright red streaks coming from my eyes looking, her thyroid. The area just afront the neck and below the Adam's apple. I felt myself lusting for this little girls thyroid. That part of her, I just had to eat it. I knew the power she had was powerful. I just had to get it. The bloodlust in my eyes dimmed, now my eyes were focused on her face. Those eyes had an enchanting feel to them. I felt my rationality decrease as I peered into those eyes. Something was pulling me in.
