Chereads / The Puppets Of Hell / Chapter 2 - New Beginnings of Puzzle Games!

Chapter 2 - New Beginnings of Puzzle Games!

It was a lovely day for Spook to start an adventure for his little puppets. He had teleport himself into the little meeting room with a joyful voice as he says, "Good morning my lovelies, are you ready for your first game today? I hope so, because you'll be finding your own ways through a haunted mansion to find a key that will lead you to a chest. Those will be everywhere and whoever ends up in last place. One of you will end up in the mirror room for the night and monsters will keep you from sleeping. I hope that's not too harsh for your first punishment. It'll be easy and I'll be watching you all. Pick the right decision or you'll be in deep water for the rest of the game. Anyways, let's get started."

He snaps her finger as all six of them end up in a room of a haunted mansion with maps and directions to each entrance and exit. Plus gold points to where the chests will be located at. They were all separated and knew they have to solve puzzles on their own and it wasn't a teamwork unless they were able to get some help from each other.

A low tone played in the house as they all started looking around the hallways for puzzles and ways to escape this. Lou begins to hum the tone as he was walking through the halls and looking at his map. He looks up and shouts as he was wondering if anyone could hear him, "Is anyone else confused about this?!" Sky yells as he was running through the dark hallways, "Yes! But I can't see anything! Where's the puzzle rooms!" Max walking as he stumbled to a room and stops breathing heavily and yells, "Look at the maps! They have each room for us but we can't see each other!" Spook watching them and nods as Max was smart and sees the girls were already getting behind but were doing their best to find keys. Lou heard Max and runs after looking at his map and runs into an empty room. There was no door but there was a light they shine through the room and words on the walls. Lou blinks and walks around as he scan the room but stop as he seen a key. His eyes widen when the words say 'Grab the key and run.' Lou sighs as he walks over to the key and grabs it. He hears a growling sound and a howling. He jumps and runs out of the room screaming, "Hell nu! I'm not dying today! Don't run into a damn howling werewolf!!!" Cassie hears screams and heard Lou yelling to save his life. Ren hears the screams as he was in the middle of solving a puzzle and glances around and grabs the key. Ren ran outta his room to find the chest. Spook had laugh as he seen Lou running away from a werewolf and was about to cry since he was laughing so hard. He noticed Sky had found the key and the chest already. He says softly, "Impressive." He was already impressed and knew the others would find the chests.

Echo had found her key and the chest and looks around noticing something shiny. She blinks and walks over to pick it up, it was a golden crystal, something that was part of a puzzle or a globe. She says softly, "this must be some collective piece. I'll take it with me and put it in the missing crystal piece. I've been looking for this." She looks around and gulps as a trapdoor open from above. It wasn't just her that seen it, Ren, Max, Sky, Lou and Cassie. They all looked up at the trapdoor as a rope was thrown down. Echo had the courage first and climbs up. She notices Max, Lou and Cassie had also had courage to get up there. Sky and Ren were right behind and pulled themselves up. Sky looks up and growls asking, "Is anyone missing a crystal piece? I found it by my chest. Echo are you missing this?" Echo looks over and takes it from him as she says, "Oh lovely another piece. I'll put it with my collection." Sky nods and then jumps as they all heard a loud noise. Spook appears hitting a box and he says, "Congrats. You all finished your puzzle before time ran out! I'm so proud of you guys. For your celebration, we vote on who gets to goes into the mirror room." Echo looks at him and asks, "But we all completely the challenge why would we send our friends to that room? Unless you're not playing fair?" Spook glares softly and looks at her, "Honey, it's a fair play if you count one of you being the last ones. I did say whoever finished last must be put in the room!"

Echo glares more and says, "Fine, pick your poison, I don't expect you to pick any of the boys. I think I know who it will be." Spook chuckles and glares at Cassie, "Hahah you have been my victim. I'm sorry child, this is how the game goes. I'll see you in the at sun rise. Be careful." Cassie gulps as a trapdoor from beneath her opens and she drops as her friends watch. Ren looks at him and asks, "Why was that necessary? She's not going to make it if you trick her mind." Spook laughs and says softly, "Oh trust me pet. She will be fine. The rest of you will be having a nice night and eating. I'll see you all at sun rise too. Have a good night." Spook disappear from them as they were teleported back to their living corners.

They were more worried about their friend than the night. The five of them decided to have a little slumber party in one of their rooms. Echo couldn't sleep, she was hoping Cassie would make it out of there alive by morning. Most of them ended up sleeping or staying awake. Ren wasn't happy that Cassie was gone. They were so confused about it they wondered if she make it out alive. Echo was hoping for peace as Sky was just hoping he wouldn't be next or Spook would get the knives in his throat. They weren't just puppets, they were humans and this world was far different from any others. They were hoping this hell wouldn't have them being tortured every damn day! They were hoping for freedom and justice. They were hoping Cassie didn't go insane or soon she be stuck for eternity and the others wouldn't be able to save her from the monsters. All they could do for right now was wait until morning to see if she was still alive and wouldn't be losing her mind so fast. They wondered how it was when Spook was the only one who can see what happens in the mirror room.
