The Ruse Escape Room Novels & Stories

ZARA **Warning episode containing memories about abuse and rape.** We had been running the whole day after we early left Alpha Chase's pack. Grandpa wanted to put as much distance between the Alpha and us. When it gets dark, grandpa finds a safe place to sleep for the night. He found a small cave hidden behind a waterfall that ran into a small lake.

The wall I saw was some type of camouflage and that realization confirmed my suspicion that there was something hidden there. I flipped a switch and a dull bulb cast a soft glow in the tight room. The room looked like it was used for storage a long time ago. A very long time ago. The dust and cobwebs were enough to create an escape room experience. The walls felt like they were moving slowly closing in on me. I had the weird impression of being closed up and trapped. Just for some self-assurance, I moved to the door and walked out into the comforting atmosphere of the kitchen. I walked into the fake wall again after assuring myself there would be no problem leaving the place. The last thing

’ With my chin tipped firmly up in defiance I makes sure there is no softness in my words and she viably shrinks away from me. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jake at the threshold of the room and there must be about twenty or so other people behind him. Alessia follows the movement of my hand as I reach into my pocket and laughs obnoxiously when I bring out a handful of colourful marbles. ‘DO you think we are going to play for your life?’ her mocking only makes my decision easier. ‘No, but I suggest your run for your own.’ I let loose the first bomb and the whole left side of the room explodes in a huge bang and bursts into flames. Screams and panic fills the room as the group of would-be

Looking around he had an idea that he hope would work. “Listen, we are going to do the same thing we did when we escaped the Justice Court. We are gonna hide in the vents until it is safe.” Razor said, going down the first hallway and went into one of the now empty room. They could hear fighting going on near by but they manage to dodge all the monsters fighting. He went to the vent in the room climbed on the bed to unhook the screws in the vent. He got down and went over to his backpack and got the last of the bottles out and handed them to each of the girls. He got out the spray that would hide their scent. He didn’t spray a lot because that would make it obvious. “Only give them the bot

I'll definitely survive it's end point. I turn towards the left route. I'll go with it. I wisely toss the queen mother's towel towards the left route. I smile. That'll purchase some time. I instantly superspeed into the left route. The blue towel serves decoy. It'll manipulate them into believing I venture through the right route. It likely may be too late before they uncover their mistake and my manipulation. That'll definitely purchase me more escape time. I smile more. My sprinting pace heightens drastically ***

"This place was recently used. See, everything's clean—no sign of anyone living here." "Where did he go?" Alessandro saw another door at the back, his eyes narrowed, and he investigated. "Turns out, he's smarter than we thought. They escaped through a shortcut." Prutt… A distinct sound, appearing at a critical moment. "Who's there? Come out; this place is surrounded. We saw someone running away in fear. No one's getting away from here!" The sound of a fake bomb alarm was used as bait. With that sound, no one could hide anymore for fear of an explosion.

"Your room is ready if you guys are ready to give it a try?" Raikin looks at me. "You ready baby?" I bite my bottom lip nervously and nod my head. "We are ready." He smiles at Alex. Alex gives us a big smile. "Follow me." We walk down a long hallway and come to a red door. "This is the lovers suite. A bride so young and full of love was left at the altar by her soon to be husband. Heartbroken and full of anger she took her own life in this very room, vowing to haunt this room forever. She gives her unknowing victims one hour to escape. If they don't make it out, they will be stuck forever. You have to solve the puzzles and find the key! Good luck!"

Instead, I crouched down, unstrapped my boots, and placed them carefully at the feet of the human girl. Her name was Shelly, in her early twenties, young and pretty. "This pair of boots bite a little," I said quietly. "But you'll get used to them." "The dress and jewelry Shawn mentioned—Gwen, the servant will bring them to you shortly." "There were seven others before you. Just ask them if you're confused about anything. They all live on the third floor. Your room is the last one to the left." Seven years bonded to Shawn. Seven girls before Shelly.

"Get back in the car. Now." Carlton doesn't move. Doesn't blink. "The next one goes into your skull," Carlton fires back, raising the Glock higher. My chest seizes. No, no, Baby. Stay in the fucking car! Rusev lets out a low laugh against my ear, humorless and dark. "Look at that," Rusev murmurs. "Love." He shoves me away. I stumble, coughing, tasting blood and bile. Air rushes back into my lungs in jagged gasps.

I shouted through the haze, reaching my hand out into the open. Lena scrambled across the floor, sliding behind the desk and gripping my arm so tightly her fingernails bit into my skin. She was trembling violently, but she didn't let go. Yes, I was furious with her for keeping secrets, but I would never leave her to die THUD. The outer doors groaned. The attackers were bagging the entrance, desperately trying to bypass the password Aunt Marissa had used to lock us in so they could flood the room. Silas didn't hesitate. He strode toward the back wall of the office, completely exposing himself to the doorway for a fraction of a second to slap two shot charges directly against the structural hi
