KARL POV
"There is $100,000 in this bag, and whichever one of you I find last, gets to keep the money! You have 20 minutes to go hide, good luck!"

Jimmy finished the intro, and all of us hurried off.
We were filming yet another hide and seek video, as the previous ones had been so popular. This time around, we were filming inside the Ohio State Reformatory. Jimmy had filmed a video with the other guys here before, but it had been before I joined the crew, and I hadn't been there.

Now as I walked down the halls, I could see why it was considered haunted. Luckily we started filming early in the day, so it wasn't pitch black, but it was still rather creepy.

"Are we splitting or sticking together?" Asked one of the other guys with me, Ben. The other two contestants were Kelly and Becca.

"I vote split up," Becca spoke. "Otherwise, if we get caught, it'll be all four of us at one time."

I nodded at her logic. "Sounds good to me. We'll split up."

And so we all went our separate ways. I jogged down a long, creepy hallway of cell doors, until I came to some stairs. I headed down them, to find another identical hallway. I noticed one cell door open near the end of the hall. I crept inside it, and found a conveniently placed bed that was hidden by a wall. I turned on my camera, then slid underneath the bed.

"So I just found my hiding spot: I'm hiding underneath of a bed inside a cell. Hopefully I don't get found!"

I shut the camera off, and settled down to wait.

TAREQ POV
"Attention everybody, you now have ten minutes left to hide." Jimmy spoke over the walkie-talkie he used to communicate with the hiders. A moment later, a voice came over the radio.

"You may as well give up now Jimmy, you're never finding me."
We laughed at the comment from the person, and I especially found it funny.

The reason was because I recognized the voice to be that of Hazel, who happened to be my girlfriend. She was competing along with the other contestants, and had already told me before we started that she would win. I obviously hoped she would, and almost dreaded holding the camera and following Chris and Jimmy while they tried to find everyone. I had a bad habit for noticing people when they didn't, and I knew I'd feel terrible if I accidentally saw Hazel and had to rat her out.

After the ten minutes were up, Jimmy announced that the game had officially started, and we set out. Y/N was also filming.

Even though I'd been on the camera crew far longer than she had, Jimmy had put Y/N in charge of the team. She was the most driven of the lot of us, and she was a natural born leader. So it made sense that she was in charge of the camera crew, and would be the primary trainer for any new members who joined. I knew she and Hazel had a special friendship, and not only because Hazel looked up to her. Y/N was forevee grateful to Hazel for discovering the truth behind the accusations put on her.

When Hazel had joined the crew, her brother Shane also joined. He'd taken a liking to Y/N, but not a good one. He lied to both her and Karl, convincing Karl she had cheated on him, and then convincing Y/N that Karl had ratted her out to the fans. Because of the reaction, Jimmy had to fire her, and Shane nearly got away with it. But eventually his sister had found out, and with help from Chandler, exposed Shane for what he did. Y/N was let back on the team and Shane was fired. Ever since then, Hazel and Y/N had been great friends, and because of them, everyone on the camera crew were a little closer as friends.

Now Jimmy and Chris were checking through rooms. After a moment, they paused. "This place is absolutely massive... If we don't split up we're never gonna find them before nightfall." Jimmy said, half to Chris, half to the camera.
"You're right. We need to split up." Chris agreed.

"It's a good thing we got two people with cameras, how convenient!" Jimmy laughed, gesturing to Y/N to go with him. I went with Chris, and the search continued.

KARL POV
I waited in silence, wondering whether the guys would find someone soon. Just as I thought this, I heard a sound. It was the footsteps of two people, heading down the stairs. At the same time, a cell door slammed from somewhere down the hall.

I turned on my camera as I listened. I heard voices, and eventually made out Jimmy and Y/N. I kept absolutely silent. I knew Y/N wouldn't hesitate to rat me out if she noticed me. She already made it clear that all was fair in love and war... And this was war.

I heard them hurrying down the hall past the cell I was in. I'd been smart enough to shut the door so they wouldn't suspect anything. After a few moments of waiting in tense silence, I heard shuffling, and then loud voices.

The voices traveled down the hallway, but I was too focused on staying silent to figure out who it was. After about five minutes passed, Jimmy came over the walkie-talkie.

"Attention everyone," he began. "I am happy to announce that Mary Lisa was found, and is now in prison."

I smirked at the camera.
"That's one down, just eleven more to go." I whispered, before shutting the camera off again.

Nine Hours Later

(A/N: I'm skipping the boring parts of finding everyone else XD)

"Attention everyone!"

Jimmy's words over the walkie-talkie startled me. I'd been nearly dozing. It had been hours, and we'd already done four rotations. I was now on the second level, hiding behind a huge crate inside a storage room. It was getting late, and many people had been found. Ben, Becca, Chandler, Cody, both Thomases that were competing, Matt, and Jake Weddle were found. It had only left me, Hazel, and Kelly. I was curious which of the two girls had been found.

"You'll be glad to hear that someone else has been found. Kelly is now in jail."

I made a thumbs up smile towards my camera, as Jimmy continued speaking.
"This means that only two people remain. Hazel, and Karl, we're coming for you."

I clicked my walkie, speaking into it. "I wouldn't be so confident, Jimmy, I'm not going down for a fourth time."

Jimmy replied quickly. "Karl, only one person stands between you and $100,000. Are you gonna let Hazel take it from you?"

I smirked at the camera as I responded. "Absolutely not. I will win for once!"

Another voice came over the radio, and I recognized Hazel's.

"Don't celebrate early, Karl. You're going down."

I giggled slightly, feeling giddy with anticipation. Too many times I'd been one of only two people left in a hide and seek, and then been found first. I silently promised myself that this time, I would be victorious.

A/N: Happy chapter to start with! Thought I'd have a cute lil' challenge to start us off! Who do you hope wins? (I mean y'all are here for Karl so I think I already know but still XD.)

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Remember to smile, because smiles are the brightest light! \ (^-^) /
