The fire was burning ferociously. Its bright orange tongues licked the huddled figures at the end of the class. The 24 students huddled closer and pressed themselves harder on the walls to get away from the intense heat. Form4Edison screamed as the flames advanced. Something was strange about the flame, despite the burning inferno, everyone felt a cold chill inside.

As fast as the flames had appeared, they dissapeared. And what the 24 students saw astounded them. The classroom was unscathed. Even though they got small burns, scrathes and bruises. Everything in the classroom was exactly the way it is. The papers, bottles, bags, books. Everything. The only change was that there were dead insects scattered on the floor. And something else. There was pleasant sunlight sifting through the windows. Thats not how it was before. Another sight made thier jaws drop even further. As they stepped outside expecting to see a burnt corridor with rubbish littered everywhere, they came to a clearing in a giant forest. And the trees were huge. The trunks were bigger than the entire classroom. The leaves looked huge, even thought they were so high up. Winds whipped around. The grass danced. The sun hung high above thier heads.

'Where the heck are we?' Faiz questioned out loud. 'Where are we?!' Yoon Wei shouted. Edric swore. The volume increased at a feverish pace to a fanatical height. And then they hushed suddenly. There was someone in front of them. A normal looking old lady. But everyone was convinced that she wasn't a normal old lady when she began to speak. She had a high voice and a low voice merged together. And if you were to close your eyes, you could'nt point out where she is. Her voice came from everywhere. Whispering in your eat and yelling from a distance at the same time. Everyone stared at the old lady. And once again, thier jaws dropped at what she said.

'Hello, humans,'

'You have obivously realized that you were transported from your original position to this forests, which is not like the forests in your land. As I know that you are confused, I shall explain. ' The old lady said in her strange voice. Everyone whispered to each other. She called us humans? Was she saying that she wasn't human?

'You are on Beacon, an island blasted into the sky thousands of years ago. The ruler of Beacon has reigned over it eternally, since the beggining of the island. In order to keep him entertained, a game called the Survival Game was invented. You're participants,'

Faiz raised his voice to speak but the old lady hushed him.

'The Lord demanded your participation and I must obey. The name of the game is survival. That is all. Now prepare yourselves, I will transport you to The Lord.'

Everyone began rejecting, until the old lady moved with agility that belied her form. Fire sprouted from her hands and she slammed her palms into the ground. The circle of students grew tighter as a ring of fire spraing out around them. The same cold chill returned despite the intense heat. And then there was a bright blue flash.

The next thing everyone knew, they were in a massive hall. Dark blue pillars decorated with carvings of writhing sea serpents and demons were everywhee. In the middle of the room, the roof wasn't there. Sunlight sifted in and fell onto a small, serene pool in the middle of the hall. The old lady was nowhere to be found. Then the pool started rippling. And talking.

'Hello, earthlings. Welcome to my humble abode,'

Russell stepped forward. 'Are you The Lord?'

The pool rippled ten-fold and a shout reached everyone's ears.

'DO NOT SPEAK OF WHICH YOU ARE BOUND TO!'

Then the voice continued after a pause.

'Yes, I am The Lord. Ruler of Beacon. My word is law and you, puny humans, are participants in my Survival Game,'

Everyone was too afraid to speak after The Lord's last outburst. They all remained quiet despite the thousands of questions were tearing at them for answers.

'There are no rules to the Survival Game. The objective is to be the only survivor, out of 900 participants,'

The voice paused. Highlighting the gasps from the children.

'In other words, you have to kill each other,'

More gasps. The Lord's laugh floated into thier ears as they digested the information. They were dealing with a sadist. And strangely the idea creeped into everyone's head, then was forced out immedietly. They were all going to die.

'Good luck, humans. The Survival Game starts in one hour,' And with that, the pool rippled ten-fold again and from it, an hourglass was tossed to Malcolm and he caught it smoothly. 'Happy Killing,'

A ring of fire appeared around them again. The same intense heat, the same cold chill. The old lady and The Lord, they had the same powers? In a flash, they were back at the forest clearing again.
