*Zayn's POV*

I open my eyes slowly, in fear of the worst. I notice I'm in a small, dark room, but it's different from the last one.

I feel something around my neck, so I carefully bring my hands up to my neck, feeling a collar like object around it. I look behind me and realize the collar is connected to a cord from the wall and below it is a v shaped razor. If I was pulled back, it would cause decapitation...

I look ahead of me and there is a small glass box at the opposite end of the room. Looking at each of the boys, I notice they each have the same thing on that I do and all have a box ahead of them. I wait as each of them wake up, knowing what was happening.. He wants to play another game.

"I, I don't want to die." I whimpered. "None of us do, stop being selfish. We have to stick together to survive. You heard what he said. We all can survive, but will we? He's trying to outsmart us." Louis said confidently.

"Louis' got a point, if anything happens to us, we'll fall apart and none of us will get out. We can't let him outsmart us. We have to think together, not alone." Liam adds in.

"Look!" Harry says, staring to the upper right. Placed there was a small tv, it was blank. We stared it in anticipation. A couple minutes later, it begun to static and then to the puppet.

"Hello Zayn, Harry, Niall, Liam, and Louis. This is your next game. Zayn, this is your challenge. You're instinct will tell you to do one thing, but I plead for you to do the opposite. If you don't, you will suffer the ultimate consequence. In front of each of you is a glass box, in the glass box may be a key. The key will unlock the collar around your neck, saving you from death. Once you go after the key, you will have 5 minutes. Fail to unlock the collar around you in this time, you will be pulled back to the wall and be decapitated. I may remind you, use your brain and think." The puppet speaks then the tv goes dead.

"Zayn, what are you thinking?" Liam asks me. "Www-what d-do you mean?" I manage to spit out. "The tape, it said you're going to think one thing, do the opposite." Louis states.

"I-I don't know. G-g-go for the key..?" I say uncertainly. "So that means you don't go for the key?" Niall pipes in. "No, why would. He do that?" He wouldn't make it that easy. Do you remember the last challenge?" Harry says.

"So I go for the key." I say, about to go. "NO." Louis starts "going for the key would start the time." I shake my head "THEN WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? I CAN'T JUST FUCKING WAIT HERE!" I yell.

"Stop, we're starting to fall apart." Liam whispers. "Yes, we can't do that." Niall and Harry add.

"Fuck it, I'm going for it." I say and leap for the box, pulling the boys back by the chain and making the time start.

As soon as I went for it, it was every man for themselves as we each leaped for the box. Every time we got pulled back, we were being choked by the collar.

Harry reached the box first and took his show off, breaking the glass. "There's no key!" He yells, falling back.

"What?!" All of yell, still leaping for our box.

"Mine had no key either!" Louis says, panic wavering through his voice as he breaks his box.

Next, Niall reaches the box, with the same outcome as the others.. No key. "Why don't I have a key?!" Niall cries out, falling to the ground just like Louis and Harry.

Noticing 3 minutes has passed, I continue towards my box, finally getting there I break it open with my shoe. Noticing I have a key, I quickly snatch it and unlock my collar, not even telling the others.

I throw the key to the ground as I collapse with relief.

"ZAYN!" "HELP" "PLEASE ZAYN" "THIS IS YOUR CHALLENGE" "DO THE OPPOSITE." I hear shouts all at me.

"One minute remaining." The speakers come on. I scavenge my brain, realizing the opposite. It wasn't all man for themselves, it was teamwork!

I scavenge the floor for for the key, quickly finding it and going over towards Harry.

I quickly unlock the collar off Harry and he falls to the ground sobbing. I hand the key to Louis, unable to remain calm. I go next to Harry and embrace him in a hug, he gladly accepts it.

I don't look, too scared to see what's happening. 'I was too late' I kept thinking. But I snapped out of it, looking at the boys.

Niall also got off the collar, he was on the ground trying to find something, but what? I looked at Liam and realized he was still in the collar, sobbing heavily..

The key! He must of dropped it! "30 seconds remaining" the speakers came back on. I looked to the ground and found the small sparkling key glistening among the glass.

I snatched it and started unlocking Liam's collar. "Zayn, p-p-please.. Tt-ten s-seconds. Ss-sa-save me-e." Liam managed to get out.

The next few seconds were a blur. Liam's collar fell off his neck as he fell to the ground. A ding went off and each collar got pulled back to the wall, just about the razor.

All I heard was muffled sobs and thank yous. "ZAYN YOU DID IT."

"YOU SOLVED JIGSAWS PUZZLE." I lightly smiled, even in this situation. I saved my best mates and solve JigSaw's puzzle.

"Zayn, come here." Liam says, where all the boys are huddled in the corner. I scurry over there, collapsing in their arms.

"H-Harry, you're stomach." I point out, now just realizing he still doesn't have a shirt on and our make-do tourniquet was gone.

"He stitched it." Harry said, touching the wound. He winced in pain, but there was nothing we could do. Niall pulled off his shirt, having an undershirt on and handed it to Harry. He slipped it on and said a quiet thank you.

"What next?" I say. "From my knowledge, Harry and Zayn has each has their part in a game. JigSaw probably has a game for each of us. So at least 3 more games." Louis says with confidence.

"That makes sense." Niall says in response. "But what next until then?"

"That." Harry points out, as the semi-familiar smoky green gas starts coming out if the vents.

"Fuck, not again..." Niall says. Then? before we have time to say anything else, everything goes black.. Again

Hey! So, this was horribly written, but I wanted to update, so hope you like it anyways!

So, if you saw all the Saws (haha) you would realize I took this idea. Here's the video of this game. Mines kinda different, but the game idea is the same.
