Asura climbed out of bed and slowly made his way toward the door, peering down the hallway. "Hello?" He called.

(Talking to Paige?)

(to anybody who will hear him)

"E-Enzo, there a-are people b-behind us." She whimpered. She was gettting better, but this place freaked her out.

"I woke up here," Xander replied, "just now." He heeded Lixi's warning and peered behind Enzo and her. He wasn't sure if they were hostile or not, but his bravado, which hardly existed to begin with, was wearing thin. He wasn't sure he could threaten them.

Enzo whirled around. How many people were there? "Who are you?" he called out, positioning himself protectively in front of the other two.

Asura jumped again when he spotted the people in the hallway, resisting the urge to yell in surprise. He stepped out of his room, straightening up a bit. "Who are you?"

Paige watched as another person entered the room. How many people were in this house?

"Enzo, will we be ok?" She peeped up from behind while clutching his shirt.

"My name is Enzo," he replied impatiently. "And I'm guessing that you've been kidnapped too." He glanced down at Lixi. "Of course we will."

Paige felt the girl's same emotions. She was terrified that they would find her.

Lixi nodded before taking a deep breath to calm herself down. She trusted this man even though she didn't know him. ( I Gtg.)

"Has anyone seen any doors or windows at all?" Xander asked, finally regaining some composure, "There has to be some way out of this forsaken place."

"I'm Asura," he said. "So… we've all been kidnapped? How?"

Paige accidentally sneezed. Her heart spiked with fear.

Enzo's eyebrows twitched. All this chaos was starting to bother him. He took a deep breath. "Did…did I hear a sneeze just now?"

"Bless you," Asura said. He then turned to Enzo. "What's wrong with sneezing?"

Paige crawled away from the entrance to the hallway. Don't see me, don't see me, please don't see me…

Xander paced, searching the hall for the source of the sound. "Well, whoever sneezed wasn't standing here already. Probably another hostage, with the way things have been going so far."

A boy walked right past her hiding space. Paige held her breath.

"You can come out, mysterious sneeze-er," Enzo sighed, his brows furrowing. "We're all captives, too."

Paige crawled forward a little bit.

(Srry I'm jumping in kinda late)
John slowly opened his eyes from an unfamiliar bed. The last he remembered was reading in the book store. John walked out of the room and heard voices down the hall, "Hey! What's going on?" He called out, jogging towards the voices. It was probably a prank, right? He probably fell asleep in the bookstore, and some jokers brought him here. A prank.

Xander finally saw Paige. He had walked right past her. "Uh… Hi." He held out his uninjured hand to help her up.

Someone ran towards them, yelling. Enzo eyed him with suspicion. Had he sneezed? Or was it someone else? "I'm starting to think we should go through each room and figure out the exact number of people here," he mumbled.

“Umm… hey…” John stopped running as he saw the group of gathered people, "Well, for starters, I'm John. Who are all of you?" He cautiously approached. Maybe they got pranked too?
