Master smiled to himself as he watched the teenagers wake up one by one. The first was a tall dark haired girl. Lorinda. He liked the way her named rolled off his tongue. He saw her lips move and realized there was no sound coming from the machines. Getting up, he walked to the control panel and turned on the volume just in time to here one of the boys speak. "Damn it". This boy reminded Master of himself as a teen. The looks, the charm. The third to awake was Aria. He watched intently as she began to show signs of panic. Then came Blake. Young Blake. Throughout the three months that Master had watched him before claiming him, he had noticed that Blake didn't take things very seriously. Blake did exactly what Master expected. He blew it off thinking that it was just another party, another hangover, another blank night. He sat and listened to them exchanging words but his attention was on something else. One of the girls hadn't awaken. She was still laying in a dark corner of the room, completely still aside from the steady rise and falling of her chest. The injection should have worn off by now. What a shame it would to lose her and to have such a pretty face go to waste, not to mention the three months making sure she was good enough for his game. He wanted to go and check on her but the others were still there. He would have to wait for them to wake her. Or leave. And the only way they were leaving is if they found the note. Which so far they hadn't. If something was wrong with her he had limited time to get to her. Her life depended on them getting out soon. The though brought a smile to his cracked lips. What a lovely way to start things out. The death of a stranger on their shoulders. They better hurry! Tick Tock Tick Tock...
