the game

Part I: the game

I am Kelly Keeper. Well, at least that's my nickname in the games I like (my real name is Sally Baker). I am what you call a gamer. When I'm not at school or my sport club I am at my computer, playing games.
Sometimes on the deep web or dark net too.

Lately I've been hanging on this Website called 'endgame'.
You just have to look for
endgame.com   and then you're there. Of course you need an account to play the games, but if you have one then everything is unlocked for you.

I really love horror, so I was really exited when I found this a few weeks ago.
Right now I'm playing a 'special' game. I am on some kind of team, twelve gamers together play one game as a team. This way your chances on winning are higher.
I am one of the keepers in the game our team began to play today. We get two special items: a dark sword (it can cut through anything) and bow and arrow (you get two special arrows, one with some kind of poison killing everything it touches and one for healing) kept by the two keepers. I am one of them, the other one is Adam. He's keeping the bow and arrow and I keep the sword. Only the keepers can use the items they keep.
Then there are the two scouts, always going ahead and warning when something's wrong. Those two are Melissa and Ryan. They both have each one hat, making them invisible.
Then there are three attackers or strikers, with usual swords, knives and daggers. They attack other teams, because the keepers usually don't fight. Those are Emma and Hunter X, we just call him Hunter.
Four defenders, they protect the team while the attackers are gone. The defenders have shields and daggers. George, Charlotte, Mark and Neko 3 (her name [the one she told us] is Lynn).
Then there's the leader, he is the one controlling the team. He can only be brought down, if there's someone strong enough to fight him. That is James.

This was a survival game. Under normal circumstances, but the description hooked me.
It was about winning over others and in the end become the King.  Everytime you eliminate one team that's online, you can only kill the ones online, you get one level up. You could think, there would just ne no end, because of all the teams, but
Each team can only play this game once in their whole life.
Once you've lost this game, your account will automatically be deleted.  And when you search for that website
again after that, there will be no result. But if you win it, you'll :

1. Be able to play on
2. Get 2 000 000 coins to buy you anything you want
3. Be able to play a special level no one knows about
4. Be the king of that game till the next one comes and you can add one thing you like to that game

And: somewhere in the game something mysterious nobody knows about will happen that makes you want to win this game.

Plus you have to play this game because if you don't play it before you've played 9 other games, the website will force you to play it.

I was playing this game back then. We all had a time we wanted to go online, so we could play. The forest of darkness. It was just ahead of us. The information board showed me that there were two other teams in that forest and this was about to kill them and go through the forest without dieing. We talked through the team's private chat, while the other teams were telling themselves something about destroying in the world chat.

Adam: @Kelly_Keeper we stay in the back. U ok with that?
Kelly_Keeper: @Adam sure
James: you defenders stay with the team, Goerge behind the team, Lynn to the left, Charlotte right, Mark front. Emma and Hunter wait for Melissas and Ryans signal. Scouts, go for it!

As always James' plan was perfect. It's always like that; he's designing the plan and we work and go for it. James is so nice to us, but when it's necessary, then he shows that he's the boss.

Melissa: the other teams just stopped argueing. I'm gonna begin watching the one to the left closer now.
Ryan: she's right. Kinda looks like they're planning something

James laughed a short laugh. He always does when he creates a plan he thinks is very good. Then he put that special smile on his face and I had to admit to myself that he was pretty handsome this way. But I was sure in reality he was just some fat nerd with big glasses. 

James: @Melissa, @Ryan tell me when the teams are splitting, then come back.
James: @Emma, @Hunter X you both will go fight the left team while I will go to the right.  But only when they have already split apart
Melissa: @James  got it

~Ten minutes later~

Ryan: they're splitting
Melissa: here too
James: ok come back.
Emma, Hunter, start right now!

All of a sudden James began running.  He was the fastest of all of us. One Minute later he pointed out he had reached the team.

James: ok almost no one here start the attack now!

Then everything went on real quick. One guy came down from a tree and another one tried to step beside me but Lynn immediately cut him down. Some tune was playing and then:
"Fight has now begun. First one dead."
Then the tune again.

The other one tried slicing George in two, but Mark stabbed him while punching in his stomach. Out of the back of that guy came blood and it didn't seem like it would ever end.

~Gooonng~
"Second one dead."

George: seems like they sent their attackers to us. That was easy...
Kelly_Keeper: yeah, almost too easy...

It suddenly was like ~Gooonng~ six times after another and then
"Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight th ones dead."

Kelly_Keeper: what the f*ck was that??
Hunter X: don't know. We didn't do that...
Kelly_Keeper: I hope nothing went wrong with James...

The second after I said that James came out of a bush. I was so relieved...

James: so, first team done. There's just the left one left, I will leave that to Hunter and Emma.
Kelly_Keeper: what the hell was that? What did you do? Are you okay James?

His energy level was at hundred percent. I really asked myself what that was but I don't know until now.
