The Wild Kids | Part 1 Book 1

Instructions

Warning, this story is not real it is completely fictional and has small themes of death and blood. James sat in his room thinking about the other night, he shivered when the events played over and over in his head. James looked at his phone, reading the message he got that night. "Hey James can you come to the mall with us?" Jade had sent. At the time it was harmless, but it got worse. James recalled what he did; "Yeah sure!" he texted back and grabbed his satchel to bring. He ran downstairs locked up the house and left. When he got to the mall he looked for Jade, but something was off. All the people moved slowly and kept staring at him. James found Jade "Hi, Jade!" James said, "You know what's up with everyone?" "No, it's weird..." Jade said They went on with their time looking at clothes and having a snack, but by 5 pm everybody was gone. "This doesn't make sense, the mall closes at 9!" Jade said just then the doors slammed A voice came on "Attention James and Jade! You have been selected to find your way out. If you fail well, you'll d!e. You have until midnight to complete the challenge." The comms cut out. "What do we do?" James said panicking "We do what we're best at, solving puzzles," Jade said She wasn't wrong, they went to places to solve what happened and then left. They do puzzles all the time. They looked around at the top of the escalator was a sign, "Start here". "I don't know any more obvious, but I think that's the entrance," Jade said as they got to the top there was a terrible smell "Ew... what is that?" James said, they looked at the sign again and bl00d dripped from the words. "Oh my, what kind of sick person does that?" Jade said. Ignoring the bl00d as much as possible they moved on, the puzzle was well, a normal store. A note read: "Find clues, place them and move on." So Jade and James did. "Nothing over here," Jade said "I think I have something!" James replied as Jade rushed over "What is it?" Jade asked, "A Rubic cube," James said. When he was little he loved them. "Do you think that is part of the puzzle? Solving that?" Jade asked, "Let's give it a shot," James said solving it in under 2 minutes. "The voice, it said to place it right?" Jade said "Yup, I would bet it is right there," James said looking at the glowing box beside the door James walked over and placed it down in the box. The doors opened and the voice came on again "Well done! But I do suppose that was fairly easy. I may as well introduce myself, I am Spector" the voice said and James laughed a little "What you think that's funny?" Spector said "No it's just your Spector, and you're spectating us," James said cracking up Jade started laughing too "Spector the Spectator!" Jade said trying not to laugh. "Ah, yes laugh it up. Haha." Spector said. "We're sorry, continue," James said putting a serious face on "The next puzzle is much harder, actually it's not a puzzle! It is a maze, and you will have 6 people trying to hunt you down if one of you d!es the game ends, the other 2 are released. Any questions?" "Yeah, you're making it sound like there 3 of us. Why?" James asked "Ah, almost forgot. James you know your little Boyfriend right? Well, he's here." Spector said "Where is he!?" James yelped in fear scared Taio could be hurt, or worse "Right here! Don't worry he's fine!" Spector said as Taio walked out from behind a wall James ran to Taio hugging him. "Now, the timer is still going is 6 pm already!" Spector said taunting them. Jade ran to join the others, "We have to hurry, and stick together! Got it?" James said, Jade and Taio nodded The doors opened and they all sprinted off, Taio was in the lead because he's good at mazes. The 6 people split up trying to catch them, in comparison to James and Jade, they were slow. Both James and Jade did track at school so this was easy. Taio slid to the ground when there was a sharp left the exit was near. When Taio was being held by Spector, he got a glance at the map. The exit was right there, but the people started closing in, Jade knew what she had to do. "I'll draw some away, you guys get out. I'm going to be fine." Jade said running off "No! It's too dangerous!" James said "Like I said I'll be fine," Jade said as 4 of the people followed her Taio dashed past the 2 remaining people, one swung a sword at him but just barely missed. James did the same, Jade was sprinting for her life and jumped up off a wall over the last two people. To Be Continued...
