You are walking towards a tall building, with big windows showing inside. You enter and head to the elevator, and you climb into the left one. You see it is crowed with other people, but you manange to make room. When the doors close behind you, the elevator moves up. The silence of the people around you made it uncomfortable.
A tall man stood beside the wall of buttons and pushed the red STOP button. The elevator screeches to a halt, causing everyone inside the shaft whisper.
"Now, I bet you are wondering why I have gathered you here today."
The man smiled at you and the rest of the people behind you.
"You all have picked up the golden envelope that I left for each of you. Finding you wasn't as hard as you beleive, but you have a set of skills I am in need of, Assassins. You have been known for that most of yours lives, but we need a specail skilled assassin for our bounty and we need it where you will not be tracked."
He moves slowly through the small spaced elevator, enough where someone moves against you and shoves you aganist the side.
"As you know, this is the biggest bounty in the market, so this isn't just some mission you stumble upon. You have to win it, earn it. You have to prove that you have what it takes to complete the mission."
"Anyone want to back out?"
[[No->Scene 2.0]]
[[Yes->Scene 2.1]]
<center><img.src="Assests/Elevator1.1.jpg"></center>
Someone raises their hand and the man nods his head. In a split second, he has a small grey revolver in his hand. The next thing, a loud BANG happens and ringing in your ears. Blood splatter the walls of the small elevator.
"Now, we simply cannot have people explaing what happened hear. Make note, reguardless, you will not make it out of here alive, if you are not the winner."
You swallow harshly and the man gave you a sharp look in return.
"Now, I have laid out a maze in this hotel. You must make your way through the traps and guess correctly. Be aware of your competition as there are no rules."
You need this bounty. A note from a long time ago told you. But can you do it?
Are you ready?
[[Yes->Scene 3.0]]
[[No->Scene 3.1]]

"What have you done?"
He shoots you and blood sprays the walls and people behind you as you die.
[[Start over?->Start]]
<center><img.src="Assests/Elevator1.1.jpg"></center> The man nods and pushes the red button, allowing the elevator to move again. Once the light said floor eight, the doors open. The assassins pile into the hall behind the man. He puts away the revolver and wait until all the assassins were able to look at him.
"This floor is a Maze. As you can see, there are ten doors, which will have your names on it. Once the timer starts, you will have three hours to go through the maze, along with your competition. Most of these obstacles are designed to kill you."
He looks at you and smiles sharply while crossing the room to stand underneath a large timer, that said three hours.
"Get to your door and wait for my signal. Once the clock starts, all rules are out."
All the assassins and you went to their assigned door. Looking next to you, you saw a kid, maybe eleven or twelve. The name on his door said Ethan. The name starts to hit you as he looks at you and grins. A shudder went through you as you look at the man. The kid murdered eighty-three people in one month for fun and because they pissed him off.
The man nods at you and claps his hands once, the timer starting.
You open the door and...
[[Walk through the door and went for the nearest weapon->Scene 4.2]].
[[Race into there, taking in as little detail as possible->Scene 4.3]]

The man looks at you with deep hate and levels the revolver to your head. He stares at you and shakes his head with disappointment.
"Too much at risk here, to just let everyone live. No one can know about this. Are you sure you want to back out?"
[[No.->Scene 3.0]]
[[Yes.->Scene 4.1]]
<center><img.src="Assests/Elevator1.1.jpg"></center> The man sighs and puts the gun against your head and pulls the trigger. Blood sprays the wall behind you.
[[Start over?->Start]]As you walk into your room, you see a man hiding in the shadows. You see a bat leaning against the wall by a bucket of baseballs. As the man moves toward you, you lunge and take up the bat.
The man thrust the knife, but you hit it aside with the bat and swing it down upon his head. Once you know he was dead, you...
[[Look around for any clues about the next room.->Scene 5.3]]
[[You take up his knife and keep it .->Scene 5.2]] As you run into your room, you don't see the man with a knife. He lashes out and swipes at you. He snarls and tries to stab you.
[[You dodge and grab the knife from him.->Scene 5.1]]
[[You pick up a book that set on a table and use it as a shield. .->Scene 5.0]]
{
<script>
var audio = document.createElement('audio');

</script>}As you went to grab the knife, you realize your mistake and the man yanks it away from you, cutting open your hands in the process. You yell and charge at him, but he stabs the knife and hits your stomach. You freeze and gasp.
You fall and the man slices open your neck.
[[Start over?->Start]]You grabbed the book beside you and held it up as the knife came down. Once the knife was stuck, you yanked it out. You come after the man and stab him, until he died.
Next, you...
[[Try to unlock the door.->Scene 5.3]]
Look around the room. As you look around for clues, your feet gets tangled in wires. As you pull your foot out forcfully, there was a click and then a hiss noise. A strange gas filled the room and you fall.
You were poisoned in the gas.
[[Start over?->Start]]As you take the knife from his hands, you realize there was an image etched on the blade. You match it up with the door and see that the knife was the key. You press the point of it into the lock and the door opens.
[[Go into the next room.->6.1]]
[[Take in the details of the room.->6.2]]As you walked across it, the floorboard cracked and creaked until they broke. You fell through all the way until you hit concrete.
You died.
[[Start over?->Start]]As you walk into the next room, it opened up into as what you believe to be a ballroom. There was ahout 10 walk ways and at the end of each, was a big target. There was a snipe attached to each walkway podium and at the end of the walkway as bodies. Ethan stood at a podium and taps the sniper. He glances up when you enter.
"You took such sweet time."
He stopped tapping and turns the sniper towards you.
"First, I thought maybe you died in there, but then again, the man who hired us to play this stupid game took pity on you. Changed the name tags, so mine door was yours."
You shake your head.
[["That makes no sense"->7.0]]
[["Yeah, and?"->7.1]]You take a small step away from the door and look around the room. There was a lot of furniature and ways to hop across to make around the wires. A wooden bat sat in the corner and you stare at it. It was a weapon but do you need it?
[[Yes.->7.2]]
[[No.->6.1]]He laughs and shakes his head.
"It doesn't matter. I kill you and then I get the mission."
He rushes at you and you duck. The sniper slams into the closed door behind you. He laughs and a shiver runs down your spine. You back away from him and found yourself in the middle of the ballroom. He comes at you with the wooden beam and you jump away from him.
As he comes for you again, you hold up your knife.
Do you...
[[Knock the sniper out of his hand.->8.2]]
[[Stab at his stomach.->Scene 8.3]]He grins and slams the wooden beam across your head without warning. Color burst in front of you and blood rushed out of your mouth.
"Reguardless of who your parents were, you do not beling here."
The kid slammed the beam into your head again.
You died.
[[Start over?->Start]]You go for the bat and grab it.
After you grab the bet, you..
[[Go to the next room.->7.3]]
[[Stay.->16.3]]You kick the beam out of his hand and slammed the machete into his head. You stand there as his body falls.
You go to the walk and take up one of the snipers and take aim. With almost perfect persion, with a lot of kickback, you hit bulls eye.
You pant until the door at the end opens and the tall man marches through. His face is passive as if the gruesome scene of death doesn't bother him. He comes to stand in front of you.
"Congratulations, you have won the first mission. I have faith that you can survive the next. The mission details are in this envelope. It tells you when and where to be. Please do not be late. Time is cruical."
You take the envelope. The man nods and walks away.
[[You open the note.->16.0]]
[[You chase after the man.->Scene 9.1]]You lunge for his stomach with the machete, but he side swiped it. He laughs cruelly and slams a foot into your side. You land on your back, groaning in pain.
He leans over you, with a sick smile on his face. He levels the machete with your face, pricking the side.
"It doesn't matter who your parents are, you do not belong here."
He slits your throat and you die.
[[Start over?->Start]]As you walk into the next room, it opened up into as what you believe to be a ballroom. There was ahout 10 walk ways and at the end of each, was a big target. There was a snipe attached to each walkway podium and at the end of the walkway as bodies. Ethan stood at a podium and taps the sniper. He glances up when you enter.
"You took such sweet time."
He stepped closer
"First, I thought maybe you died in there, but then again, the man who hired us to play this stupid game took pity on you. Changed the name tags, so mine door was yours."
You shook your head.
[["That makes no sense."->7.4]]
[["Yes, and?"->7.1]]He laughed and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. I kill you and then I get the mission."
He rushes at you and you duck. The wooden beam slammed into the closed door behind you. He laughed and a shiver ran down your spine. You back away from him and found yourself in the middle of the ballroom. He comes at you with the wooden beam and you jump away from him.
You lift up your bat and match his swings. At first it seemed to help, but his beam seemed to help better than your bat.
You...
[[Knock the beam from his hand with your bat.->9.2]]
[[Try to slam the bat over his head.->9.1]]You knock the sniper out of his hand with the bat and slams the bat into his head. You stand there as his body falls.
You go to the walk and take up one of the snipers and take aim. With almost perfect persion, with a lot of kickback, you hit bulls eye.
You pant until the door at the end opens and the tall man marches through. His face is passive as if the gruesome scene of death doesn't bother him. He comes to stand in front of you.
"Congratulations, you have won the first mission. I have faith that you can survive the next. The mission details are in this envelope. It tells you when and where to be. Please do not be late. Time is cruical."
You take the envelope. The man nods and walks away.
[[You open the note.->16.0]]
[[You chase after the man->Scene 9.1]].You lunge for his head with the bat, but he side-swiped it. He laughed cruelly and slammed a foot into your side and yanked the bat away. You land on your back, groaning in pain.
He leans over you, with a sick smile on his face. He levels the bat with your face, pricking the side.
"It doesn't matter who your parents are, you do not belong here."
He smashes your head over and over until you die.
[[Start over?->Start]]You stuff the note into your packet and run after the man. The ballroom ended in three doors. You stop and stare at the three brown wooden doors, each has a carving in the middle. A star, a sun and a comet. Frustrated, you take a step forward but a noise startled you.
You turn around to see a beautiful woman step out of the shadows. Her long blonde hair fall in waves down her shoulders. Her blue eyes watch you as she walks to you. Her lips pull into a frown.
"If you are trying to follow him, it may be harder than you realize."
You turn back to the doors and stare at the symbols on the doors.
"What do these mean?" You ask her.
"We will get to that later. Do you want to accept a bounty?"
[[Yes.->Scene 10.0]]
[[No.->16.0]]After you say yes, the woman walks closer and hands you a note. You take it and open it. A picture and some details litter the page. You do a double take with the photo and glance over the top to the lady.
"Isn't this the man that played host to the competition?"
The lady nods and rest her hands by her side.
"Important information led us to believe he has another agenda for the assassin that wins. Our goal is just one purpose. When you open that note, you will understand and hopefully agree."
You turn around and reread the note. At the bottom is a name. Jed Jekins. Underneath that, is a rhyme.
//I'm bright but I'm not clever. I burn but I'm not a bonfire. I sound like a celebrity but I'm not famous. I twinkle but I'm not an eye. I can be see at night but I'm not the moon//
You realize it is a rhyme to open one of the doors.
[[Star.->11.1]]
[[Sun.->11.0]]
[[Comet->11.2]]You walk up the door and it swings open. You walk inside and the interior changes to a walk way across two buildings. On the ledge is a wooden beam. Jed Jekins stands at the other end, with a wooden bat. His face was red and sweat coated his face. He looks up and galnces at you. He freezes and mouths soemthing you couldn't understand.
To get across, you have to go across the beam. That takes time and balance.
[[You walk across, balancing as much as you can.->12.0]]
[[You crawl across.->12.1]] You take a deep breath and confidently walk up the door. You place your hand on the smooth, cold surface. You push it open and a draft hits you and a shudder goes through your body. The door creaks open and you take a step inside. You continue to walk forward, even as the dark swallows you whole. The further you go, the colder you became until you into something hard, hanging in the air.
The door behind you slams shut. You whirl around, but there was no light source. A flicker starts in front of you and see the outline of a body. You take a step forward and see the body was of a person. But the skin was molten and black.
More light flickers and you caught glimpse of a flame in the fireplace. You move around the body and gets closer to the fire. Warmth hits you first and you let out a sigh of relief.
You hear a weird //snick// and turn around. Along the walls slits opened and a nozzle was place through. One by one, fire came roaring out. Youw ere trapped in the corner and felt the heat of the flames. Soon, all teh slots had fire spewing out and it burned you alive.
You died.
[[Start over?->Scene 10.0]]You walk up to the door and you push it open. Inside was filled with different kinds of rocks. You maunever your way through and get to the other side, looking for another door. Turning around, you notice the large rock hanging from the ceiling.
"How in the hall is that staying?"
Rock took up most of the air space, other than a few feet from the ground where you were. You had no idea how you didn't notice it when you first walked in.
You go back around and your feet get tangled in cords. You shake them off and the room started to rumbled. Cracks started forming along the chaing holding the rock. You race to the door, hoping to open it. A loud snap occurs and you body goes cold. You turn around as the rock slams into you.
You died.
[[Start over?->Scene 10.0]]You take a deep breath, focusing on the board before you. Your legs shake a little as you walk across, taking it one step at a time. An obstacle like this happened to you, but never this high up with this much risk. Jed's face had a paniced look on his face and he ran off. You gerimanced and started going a little faster. The beam rocked and you freeze. You held your breath as you took another step.
A breeze flew past you and the chill made you shudder. You let out a gasp and tried to gain your balance, but you slip. You fell through the air and landed on the aspalt.
You died.
[[Start over?->Scene 10.0]]You get into postion to crawl across, the strength being in your arms. You start shuffling ovefr and Jed watches you with panic. He takes off and you tired to hurry as well. A breeze flew past you and you clench the board, but it stayed steady. You continue across, even as the board rocked dangerously on the edge. You make it to the end and put your feet on solid ground.
You take off after Jed, hoping there wasn't an easy escape for him. The next building had small interior, that looks more like the hotel Jed talked about. By the staircase, that said EXIT, stands Jed. He leans against the doorframe as you round the corner.
"You do not make this easy for me."
You smile at him.
[["What are you talking about?"->13.0]]
[["What plans did you have for me?"->13.1]]Jed's black hair is ruffled and damop with sweat. He sighs.
"I know who you are and what you pretend to be."
You froze. Not darting to move.
"I knew your parents personally and knew what happened to them. They weren't supposed to die, but they were found out before we could transport them to a new location. You went missing that night, but since we are a secret society, we couldnt announce a missing child of dead people."
You stare at the man as the night more than ten years ago came into her head. The gunshots, the blood and the note.
[["What do you know?"->14.0]]
[["How is that supposed to help me now?"->14.1]]Jed gave you a small smile and a sad look appears in his eyes. You don't dare to move as the questions seems to startle him.
"I only came to give you want you wanted. Justice for your parents."
[["What do you know"->14.0]]
[[How is that supposed to help me?"->14.1]]"Your parents were hard workers for our agenda. They were at the top, but when they had you, they couldn't be placed in too much danger. The day before their death, we had all come to the conclusion that is was time to move locations in case anyone grew suspisous. We are not too sure who had killed them, but when we came to help, your parents were already dead and you were missing. We had no idea where to start looking or who targeted your family."
"So you gave up?"
He doesnt respond and you clench your hands into first. So much anger in you that you take a step forward.
"Are you hear to kill me?"
[["Yes, because you deserve it."->15.0]]
[["No because you need to live with the guilt."->15.1]]"Becuase once I finally found you, hunting a named person in our society, I knew that deep down you knew that your parents weren't normal. But you didn't gather information on them, because we hid our tracks too well. But somehow, here you are."
Anger flowed through you and you snarled at him.
"I lost my parents and all you care about it that your society stayed secret? Go to hell."
[[Throw your weaon at him.->15.0]]
[[Leave him to suffer. ->15.1]]You threw your weapons through the air and it hits him in the side of the head. He goes down with a cry of pain. You stalk to him and yank the weapon off the ground. You smash it down.
"That is for my parents."
You hit him over and over, until he stops moving and bood is splattering the walls.
And you continue walking back throught the hotel. You make it safely back to the side where it all started. When you walk through the door, the lady was long gone, with a note nailed to the wall across the doors.
//Life is hard, but choices are harder.//
You yank out the note from Jed and open it. The details of the bounty takek up the whole page.
[[Start next bnounty?->16.0]]The words left your mouth and shock flies across his face. You stand there, the weapon in your hand. You know you should kill him anyways, to accept the bounty toll. But you lift your chin. Guilty consiousness has better effects anyways.
"If you follow me out, I will kill you."
And you continue walking back throught the hotel. You make it safely back to the side where it all started. When you walk through the door, the lady was long gone, with a note nailed to the wall across the doors.
//Life is hard, but choices are harder.//
You yank out the note from Jed and open it. The details of the bounty takek up the whole page.
[[Start up next bounty?->16.0]]You opened the letter and it will filled with information about your next target. You take in a deep breath as you read.
//Tall, brown hair and blues eyes. Leader of the Free World. He has recently taken up slave camps and consecration camps all across the United States. Kids, woman and men have been taken and never return. Your assisnment is to assassiante President Helmen before he boards his plane to Nevada on May 8, 2029 at Medieval Lort Airport. //
You stare at the paper. //That was two weeks from today//
What do you do first?
[[Go home and wait.->17.0]]
[[Scout the airport for good hiding spots. ->17.1]]You decide to wait at home until the 8th comes around. When you get home, you find nothing has been messed with. During the two weeks before the time, you train and continue to train. When May 8th hits, you make your way to the airport where the letter led you.
When you get there, there were so many people gathering around and you found it hard to try to assassinate him. You frown and make your way through the airport until you reach the window in front of an airplane. As you stand there, you watch President Helmen board his place.
Footsteps came running to you. You turn around and find police aimin thier guns at you, barking at you to raise your hands. Behind them, stood the lady. A cruel smile came onto her lips. She put a finger to them.
You have been caught and arrested.
[[Start over?->16.0]]You make your way to the airport after the contest. Remembering how the contest was set up, you make it to the airport by cab. When you get there, you trek around it and mark any spots outside that aren't watched by cameras. Only one you could find that was in line sight of the end of the runway.
You go inside and walk away, marking any exits or entrances that they may try to use. As you walk, you notice a group of security guards are marged together, listening to their supervisor speak. As you get a little closer, you heard him explaining that in a few weeks the President will be coming to this airport to board a plane and they need to be on the look out.
He started to explain certain routes and where some of the guards will be stationed at the time. In your head, you remember places that seemed impossible seemed possible. A plan started to form....
[[You will hide in the hotel across the street. Thanks to the lessons at the contest, you guessed that sniping him may be easy.->18.0]]
[[You will stay inside, by the little pocket at the window and when he walks passed, stumble and cut him with a poisoned knife. ->18.1]]The two weeks have passed and you put your plan into action. Across the street, you open the windowe enough to set the nuzzle of the sniper in. You settle some headphones on and sit on a chair.
The letter did not say a time, so you got there early in the morning to set up and scope before they arrived. As you watched, many places descended and ascended. Finally, three black limos pulled into the airport's parking lot and abut six guards walked beside the President.
You took in a shuddering breath and watched with the scope, the whole time not having a clear shot. You wait until he makes it through the airport. When they come onto the runaway and about to board the plane, you have a clear shot.
[[You pull the trigger. ->19.0]]
[[You hesitated and lose the shot.->19.1]]
<center><img.src="Assests/Sniper1.jpg"></center> You decide to walk around the airport until it was time. Two weeks later, you put your plan into action. As you walk around, you kept changing disguises secretly so the empolyees didn't suspect anything with the same person walking around.
Hours go by before people started laughing and clapping. You get into position and join in with the crowd. The knife was firmly agaisnt the wrist in the sleeve. The President started making their way down the line and you notice there was a kink in your plan. There wasn't any way to get close enough to cut him.
A face took you by surprise and the lady smiled at you. She stood beisde the other guards and started making a scene with a random onlooker. Some of the guards took postion in front of the President and left one side open. His suit was long sleeved, but his hand was bare.
[[You sneak closer, as you weren't too far. You barely bursh by him and the knife comes out to nick his hand. ->20.0]]
[[You get close, and tap his shoulder. He turns and smiles at you and you touch his hand gently like you were blessing him and the knife nicks him. ->20.1]]You look down the line and pull the trigger. The shot hit its mark and the President hits the ground, a bullet in his head. Shaking, you slide the gun out of the window and shut it. You quickly use a wipe and wipe down everything you touched and headed to the room you checked out.
Getting onto your computer, you
[[Hacked into the cameras of the hotel and erased the footage of you leaving the room after the shooting.->21.0]]
[[You just watched the news.->21.1]]
<center><img.src="Assests/Sniper1.jpg"></center>
<audio autoplay>
<source src="Assests/"Sniper.wav></audio>
You hesitated and was about to squeeze the trigger when a guard's head comes in front of the target and they board the plane. The door is shoved open from behins you and police men pile in and order you to stand down.
The lady from before, whose name she does not know, stands there, with a wicked smile.
You have been caught and arrested.
[[Start over?->16.0]]You come up beside him as he is distracted by the commotion of his guards. You brush your hand beside his and the knife point sticks out and pokes his wrist. Blood drips from the puncture, but he didn't seem to notice and you continue to make your way by him and look towards the comotion.
The lady calms and tells the guards she apologizes for the confusion. They move out quickly, the President in the middle of them. The lady doesn't look toward you as she walks by.
You completed your mission. Do you want to see the results?
[[Yes.->21.1]]
[[No.->22.1]]You walk forward and amke yourself seem younger. The President was a young man, about mid-thirties and handsome in a way. You reach up and tap him on the shoulder and he turns to you with a smile on his face.
"You okay, little one?"
You thank the lord for small genes as you give him a big, excited nod and grin.
"Can I shake your hand?"
He laughs and reaches out to you. You take it and the knife slides out a little bit and the metal hits his skin. He lets out a small noise and sees the knife as you tried to pull back. His smile is replaced with a frown and his grib tightens.
"Catherine?"
The lady stops her complaining and comes up to him. "Yes, Mr. President?"
"THis little girl is trying to murder me."
The lady narrows her eyes and acts like she has no idea who you are. "Do you want me to add her to the list of the camp?"
He smiles down at you. "Yes, please."
You were caught and thrown into a slavery camp.
[[Start over?->16.0]]You log into your computer and into the new software you downloaded the day before. Hacking into the hotel's servers wouldnt be complicated. As you did so, you used random emails and codes you found over the years with no direct link to you.
You got to the footage of you entering and exiting the room. You deleted the footage and cleared the software from your computer. You go to the trash and bury the laptop beneath many bags of fast food that you found from the dumpster.
You completed your mission and got away.
Do you want to see the results?
[[Yes.->21.1]]
[[No.->22.1]]
You log into your phone and the news started to spread. The President was killed, assassinated. By poison, sniping or terrorist. As you scrolled through all the links and you seem an annoymous comment.
//President Helmen has been believed to commited murder of families all across the United States. Even starting ten years ago. Has one of them families come back to haunt them?//
You stare at the comment and see over a million likes in over an hour. The President murdered your family? Jed really was trying to help.
