Mastering

"What's the problem with entering something like this? It's a great opportunity for you to be doing that can be life-changing and around these towns, it only happens once a year so you're willing to give up a future like this away?" Alex knew that what Miss Willow was saying had truth in it but he knew that the life thay he had before was taken away from him and if this opportunity ever had to happen as it did before then it would have meant something that could have been the same as before, this was what Alex was thinking.

"I appreciate it but I just do it because I think of it as fun and besides, I don't consider myself as a writer really but I think of myself of nothing."

Miss Hallow could see in Alex's heart that he had the skills but the problem was that he had lacked the motivation to be an aspiring writer so she had to find a way to get him to be motivated, "I understand but please consider it any time you want to think about joining at all."

Alex took the advice that she said and went to his seat where most of the classmates had gone home early while a few others had to do after school lessons like Alex while others such as Elisa and this jock named Aaron had to stay back since they both had to do the course until 5:30 which was a bummer for them since they have 'important things to do'.

As class had just finished, Aaron asked Elisa if she needed a ride, "Nah I'm good besides I have someone else that I promised to take home."

Aaron looked, Alex as he was walking out of the classroom and out of the college and Miss Willow thought that she could offer him a ride back home but he had to decline it.

Elisa then caught up to Alex and wanted to know more about him but she had diverted his attention to her nails on how she had painted them black and she had asked him if they were nice or not to which his reply was, "It looks like nice on you... as they match the colour of your eyes that are... like two puddles of water and... if I were to go near them then I would be dragged to the bottomless ends with no way out."

Elisa then pushed him saying, "Oh you big poetic softie, man where were you when growing up because I have stricken luck! Man, I kind of wish we were related somehow... oh yeah, how do you like my hair? I had it dyed bright purple so that I could get the attention of someone that j has a thing for."

Alex felt like not knowing what she was meaning by that and thankfully he didn't need to since they were close to the house and they both went their separate ways with Alex finding in the ground looking as dead as an ox.

"Alright bozo, get up I know you're faking it... Marko? Marko... don't joke around with me! Marko? .... no... no... NOOOOO!!" Marko then screamed like a high school girl but then Marko's eyes opened and he got up and asked what happened but realising that Marko was alive, Alex punched in the arm and asked why he was faking it.

"Faking it? What are you on about man? And what time is.... oh shit I'm already late for work." Marko then dashed to the car as quickly as he could while Alex was left by himself to think about what to be doing since it was already 3 days since they moved into their new house, Alex decided to use the time that he had to fix the house a bit and to also clean it and as he was cleaning the bedrooms, he had found some kind of journal and also an Audio Tape Recorder and remembered about the audiotape that he had found, he fixed it and used it to listen to what it had to say.

"It has been only 9 months since we had escaped that crap hole and it's already becoming worse for most of us with the fact that we had to survive.

When I started this whole thing, I thought that there would be a little more give and take instead... it ended downhill for most of us and only me and..... had survived and believed me that I had been hard for Marko since he lost her but all I can think about was that day, I moved out of that crooked town and settled to somewhere better... but I leave this audiotape to the one that is going to be in that crooked game.

If anyone finds this, my name is Adam Smith and I'm a survivor of the game..... what's going on... the tape... it's.... not... picking up.... my signal.... no... no... no... NO!"

The audiotape then stopped there with only questions of what could've happened but it was shocking to find out that Marko was mentioned in this audiotape so he then checked the journal and it was similar to the handwriting of Markos and it even mentioned something about what had happened but the thing was scary the most was this.

"April 1 2010

Me, Adam and Michelle are barely alive and with the other 12 dead, it will be moments when we will be next but all I can say is this.

Whoever this man is... I'm going to make him pay for what he has done to me and all of the others that had to suffer and I'm using the same date because of what 'DeathJoke' had said..."

The page then stopped at the mention of this DeathJoke so Alex went into the internet to find that DeathJoke Aka Wallace Mackenzie had been the town Mayor of 'Rudders End' and was sent for execution.
