The brunette twisted and turned where she laid, desperately trying to get in a more comfortable position. However, after failing to do so, her groggy eyes opened. "Aaah," groaned the girl, now wishing she had just kept her eyes shut because now they met with the harsh glare of the fluorescent lights from above. It was all too bright.

Squinting her eyes, she rolled onto her side before sitting up. Then she realized why it felt all so uncomfortable, she had been sleeping on the hard concrete floor. Aw man. As what most would do after waking up, she stretched her hands up and let her eyes dart around the room. That was when she realized that there were others in the room with her as well.

Poppy Lockwood was not alone.

Before she could call out to them however, crackling noises came from the speakers that she recently only knew about. A voice then traveled through the speakers and across the room. "Let's play a game..." It trailed off, followed by an eerie silence.

[Tiana Jackson]

”Aaah.”

The groan managed to make it through to one of the figures and Tiana stirred. The first thing she realized was this was definitely not her bed. The second thing she was aware of was the throbbing headache plaguing her. She hissed and put one hand to her temple.

”Oh for fuck’s sake- Ow.”

Sitting up was harder than she could’ve ever imagined, although opening her eyes wasn’t much easier. Once they’d adjusted to the stinging light, Tiana noticed Poppy and the others. She frowned deeply, still rubbing her head.

”Who ar-“

”Let’s play a game…”

Tiana’s head whipped up towards the speaker when she was cut off, her eyes widening. A sinking feeling formed in her gut and she groaned at the movie-like scenario.

”You’ve got to be kidding me.”

[Poppy Lockwood]

Her breath caught in her throat. Her dark brown eyes darted around the room, finally settling on the speakers which was the source of the voice that announced a little 'game'. Let's play a game. Which crept Poppy Lockwood out a little since she was already in an unknown room with four other girls who she did not know. It sent a shudder down her back.

Moreover, she just realized she was not fully clothed. My god! Gasping, she covered her body with her hands as best as she could. She might only be in her undergarments and not naked but still. "What the fuck?!" Okay, now she was more than just a little crept out. "What kind of sick game is this? Is it just me or does this feel like an episode of Pretty Little Liars?"

[Tiana Jackson]

"What the fuck?!”

Tiana’s eyes snapped back down to Poppy when she cursed. Then she did a double take when she noticed the girl was practically naked. Her eyes flew down to her own figure to confirm her fears. She scowled and stared back up at the speakers; she was only clad in undergarments herself.

"What kind of sick game is this? Is it just me or does this feel like an episode of Pretty Little Liars?”

Tiana looked over at Poppy and couldn’t help but snicker despite how wrong the situation was.

”It’s either that or some sick guy’s fantasy. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised.”

Tiana kept rubbing her temple but knew she had to get to her feet. Although it was a struggle with how groggy her body felt, she eventually managed it with help from the wall. She glanced at Poppy.

”Name’s Tiana by the way. Yours?”

[Poppy Lockwood]

On the cold hard floor, she pulled her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around it trying to cover her very little clothed body. Her eyes frantically searched the room again, this time looking for cameras, wondering if they were being watched. There was a speaker for the person to "communicate" with the girls in the room, what was stopping him from putting a camera in to watch them?

Sick bastard.

She watched the other brunette across the room as she got herself up as well. It appeared that Poppy Lockwood was not the only one stripped down to her undergarments only. "I'm Poppy and I'm pretty sure I've never seen you in my life before. But am I in some kind of a sleepover or something?" She noted the other two females in the room. She certainly had never seen them before as well.

"Where are we?"

[Piper Galloway]

At first there was nothing but darkness. Piper slowly became aware that she was awake again and little else. Bit by bit other things started to filter into her mind. Her heart thudded heavily, causing a sharp pain to shoot through her temples with every thump. She felt nauseous, queasy and dizzy. The room spun around her even though she still hadn't opened her eyes. The feel of something rigid digging painfully into her wrists was the next thing to come to her. Within moments everything else flooded her mind and Piper's eyes snapped open and she issued a breathless gasp.

With a wince, Piper pulled against the heavy shackles that kept her chained to the wall. Her hair was a matted mess atop her head, dirt and grime caked her cheeks except the clean streaks where tears had previously fallen. "Oh God." She croaked, her eyes closing as her head lowered. She was chained to the wall, her arms held above her head. "It's happening again." She mumbled to herself, completely oblivious to what the others in the room were doing. "Why won't it stop? It has to stop."

[Tiana Jackson]

"I'm Poppy and I'm pretty sure I've never seen you in my life before. But am I in some kind of a sleepover or something?”

Tiana had to actually laugh at the last little bit of that sentence, although there was hardly any humor in it. She kept searching around the room for anything different that might clue her in on an escape route.

”Somehow I’ve got the feeling this is less ‘sleepover’ and more ‘sicko’s wet dream.’”

It was blunt but considering the fact everyone in the barren room was a girl and apparently half naked, Tiana would not be surprised. She was also unamused by the situation they were.

"Where are we?”

Tiana snorted and looked back at Poppy since there was nothing else in the room of interest apparently.

”Probably some bastard’s sex dungeon or something. Hell or it’s a reenactment of Saw. At this point neither would surprise me.”

As if to further Tiana’s prediction, there was a sound that drew her head to another occupant of their tiny bland room. It was some girl chained to the wall, and from what Tiana could see, she was muttering to herself. Frowning, Tiana cautiously approached but kept a safe distance. She had no idea what the girl was mumbling under her breath, but she wasn’t about to get close enough to find out.

”Hey, what’re you muttering? And why are you chained to the wall?” Tiana frowned and glanced down at her own restrain-free limbs before looking back at Piper and shaking her head. ”Ok never mind, first things first; who are you?”

[Poppy Lockwood]

The twenty year old chuckled at the replies she received. Whilst it was not something she thought of when she woke up, but considering the state they were in, it did not seem so far fetch. Ugh. The thought of what could have happened to her had her guts twisting and feeling queasy. Ugh. She could not even remember as to how she had gotten into the room in the first place. Which left her mind running wild with every possible scenarios that could happen. Ugh ugh ugh.

Just then, her ears perked up when she heard another source of voice that did not come from Tiana. Her eyes widened at the sight that she was met with. "What the fuck?" she uttered, still could not comprehend how and why the other girl was chained and bound to the wall. Still on the ground, her eyes darted back and forth between Tiana and the girl.

Not long afterwards, cackling noises could be heard from the speakers and then the voice was back. "The rules are simple. You play."

[Tiana Jackson]

”What the fuck?”

Tiana heard Poppy’s utterance and couldn’t help but agree. Neither she or Poppy was chained up, so she had no idea why this girl had been singled out. She wasn’t sure about the forth girl, but from what Tiana had seen she hadn’t stirred yet. Tiana figured it must’ve been the drugs or whatever knocked them all out.

"The rules are simple. You play.”

The voice’s comment made the whole world stop. Tiana froze. A frown slowly grew on her lips and she stood up tall with her arms crossed over her chest. She glared at the speaker.

”Are. You. Kidding.”

It was more of a statement than anything, one Tiana voiced with a clear hint of annoyance. She wasn’t exactly happy she’d been right, although she supposed it was better than having a Saw reenactment. She wasn’t exactly looking to die.

”So basically you want us to fuck each other for fun. With some girl chained to the wall. Great.” Tiana rubbed her face with one had. ”Of all the things I get kidnapped for, it’s a foursome in a sex dungeon. As if I needed any more proof my life was weird as hell.”

[Poppy Lockwood]

Her brown eyes widened when her mind finally registered what the voice over the speakers spoke. You play. The words kept replaying in the back of her mind. You play.

Play.

Play.

Play.

"Well, play what exactly?!" she exclaimed asking for a continuation to the announcement, looking at the speakers as if the person, whoever the sick bastard was, could hear her. For their sake, she hoped Tiana was right that this was all a joke. But with their clothes stripped off, left only in undergarments and a girl chained to the wall, this was one sick and twisted joke.

Poppy still stayed on the floor, not looking forward to move anytime soon from where she was sitting. "Do you think that's what he meant?" The look of utter horror and disgust could be seen clearly etched on the twenty year old's face. The thought irked her to the bone. "I really don't--"

Her sentence was cut midway when she heard a slot from the door opening. Something dropped inside. It was silent in the room, neither girls really did anything except for staring at the item that was brought for them.

"Play."

[Tiana Jackson]

"Well, play what exactly?!”

Tiana frowned; that seemed to be the question of the evening. She hoped she was wrong in her assumption, although at this point she didn’t know if she’d prefer the Saw idea our her own.

"Do you think that's what he meant?”

Tiana glanced back at Poppy and shrugged, sharing the look of disgust.

"I really don't—“

The noise as something clanked into the room drew both of their attentions. Tiana glanced over at the object right as the speaker spoke again.

”Play.”

Hesitantly Tiana approached the object, which looked like some sort of box. When it didn’t explode or anything, she crouched down to take a closer look. Then she frowned, baffled.

”Wait.”

She opened the box and looked inside, raising an eyebrow when she found exactly what she expected.

”Really? That’s it? No death traps or something? Only a game of Life?” Tiana frowned and looked up at the speaker. ”So we’re going to be playing a half-naked game of Life?”

[Poppy Lockwood]

When she first heard the drop of item into the room, Poppy Lockwood did not know what to think exactly. They were instructed to play and then a box landed into their cell the room. Her mind was left to wander to what it was that the person had sent for them to play with as she stared at the rectangular shaped box.

The girl Tiana was more brave than her. She did not want to get up from where she sat to be honest, she was still uncomfortable that most of her body was exposed. Ugh. But slowly, she followed behind the other girl, arms wrapped around her own body.

As Tiana inspected what was brought for them, Poppy wandered over to the door, where it came from. It was a long shot but she had to try anyway. She took hold of the doorknob and pulled. Just as expected, it was locked. They were locked inside. She sighed in disappointment.

After that she returned her attention back to Tiana and the box she had in her hands. She stood in front of her to get a good look at the item. Poppy was partially glad and confused when she realized that they were to play a board game, the Game of Life. "Play," cried out the voice over the speakers. This time, he sounded he little more insistent than before.

Poppy shuffled around inside the box and pulled out four pieces that she assumed would be their avatar. "I guess this would be us," she held up one that unsurprisingly looked like a miniature replicate of herself in only undergarments. She groaned.
