Camryn's POV

"Two students have taken their lives. A third tried. The common thread linking these tragedies, all three victims were playing the game known as Gryphons and Gargoyles." Hermione says

"Wait, so you're admitting the game killed Dilton and Ben?" Jug asks

"Yes, Mr. Jones." Hermione replies

"But where did G and G come from? Where did Ben and Dilton even get it?" Betty asks

"Well, we still don't have many answers. But from the little that we do know about it, the game seems targeted at impressionable developing minds. Namely, teens like yourselves." Hermione says

"Um, challenge accepted." Reggie says causing a few of us to let out a laugh including Pea and I

"Respect to the dead, but some among our flock are shepherds, not sheep." Cheryl says

"The game's quests and role playing scenarios are specifically designed to foster delusion, paranoia, and ultimately violence. As mayor, I'm officially banning Gryphons and Gargoyles. Mrs. Burble is gonna be holding extended office hours and I've set up a twenty-four hour crisis hotline overseen by Kevin Keller." Hermione says

"FYI, I am only there after school." Kev says

"As a parent, I'm imploring you, take care of yourselves. And stay away from this game." Hermione says

"We're still on for tonight, right?" Fangs whispers to Pea and I

"Yeah. My dad wants to keep Ry tonight so we're free." I say with a smile

-The Next Morning-

"You are imprisoned in the Gargoyle King's fortress. Trapped in pens, you live in fear, never knowing when his legion of Gargoyles will descend from the sky to feed. But his guards are arrogant. You've been able to observe and study their movements, and you've planned an escape." Jug reads after Pea rolled the dice

"Roll the dice to decide your fate." Jug says before Pea rolls the dice again

"Your mission was unsuccessful. Everyone dies." Jug says

"Jug. Cam." I hear a familiar voice call out before I look up from the table and my eyes fall on Betty

"What're you doing?" Betty asks as Jug stands up

"Betty. It's all making sense, all of this is becoming clear. The game, the Gargoyle King, I'm a level three and it's only a matter of time until I ascend...and I get to meet him." Jug says

"Will you two fools knock it off?" I ask as I shield Ryder while Fangs and Pea laugh
