Chapter Text
the first thing james noticed when he opened his eyes was that he couldnt move. he was in a dark room with a spotlight shining down on him. he had been strapped down to a chair and his mouth was duck-taped shut.
as he looked around the room, he noticed other people.
marlene.
peter.
oh shit.
there was 9 other people strapped down, they were all situated in a semi-circle around the room with him starting it. it seemed that they were placed in rainbow order.
the girl from the bus was there, looking strangely calm for the circumstance.
oh god.
barty from the coffee shop was there.
and his friend.
there was 3 other girls and 3 other guys.
the second in the semi-circle was a girl with long red hair. from what james could see of her face, she was beautiful. her wavy hair flowed down her back and curtain bangs in front of her eyes. her outfit consisted of an orange sweater and hat with brown jeans.
next to orange was yellow. the girl from the bus!!
she looked pissed but seemed to recognize james as she squinted her eyes and tilted her head toward him, as if she was waving.
next to her was barty.
the coffee boy.
he was wearing bright green DCs and black jncos. he was wearing a fitted stripped black and grey shirt. his pants were held up with a green checkered belt.
he looked like an emo.
james chuckled.
next to him was a boy with black curly hair.
he was staring off into the distance, seemingly unaffected like yellow.
he was magnificent.
the tape covering his mouth didnt cover his sharp jawline. his eyes were a beautiful grey that james almost got lost in.
he was wearing dark green converse and baggy black slacks. he had on a dark green sweater which fit him like a dress because of how big it was. he had silver necklaces resting on his chest and an eyebrow piercing.
james had to force himself away from the boy to go onto the next person.
the other boy from the coffee shop was staring righ at him.
he was dark blue.
similarly to green, he had on dark green converse.
however, he was wearing baggy jeans and a dark blue shirt that he layered with a white long-sleeve undershirt.
his locs were decorated with blue colored crystals and it was fun to look at.
James felt tense under his gaze and looked away to the next person.
pete.
sweet old peter.
he was cyan.
he didnt deserve this.
james and him had a quick conversation with their eyes.
what happened?? where r we? pete signaled frantically
i dont know but we will be safe. dont worry. james signaled back. he was trying to calm down peter, he was crying already.
his eyes skimmed to the person next to peter.
purple.
it was a girl who had similar skin to james. she had amazingly kept curls. james was going to need her routine. she looked nice enough. it seemed like she was trying to calm down other but also doing the same thing as james.
she was wearing purple birkenstock clogs with white cable knit socks, she was also wearing a lavender cargo skirt and a white long-sleeved shirt. she looked cute.
next to her was pink. she looked similar to the blue guy. they both had blonde hair that went perfect with their dark skin.
she looked like a fairy.
she was wearing a silky pink dress that appeared to be vintage. she had on white tights and ruffle socks. she was wearing pink heels and had a white sweater on.
her locks were also adorned with pink crystals, just like blue.
she looked so sweet. she smiled at james and also seemed very calm.
james saw something moving next to her and looked to the next person.
a chill-looking dude. except for the fact that he was trying to escape.
the boy next to him calmed him down and james could finally focus on his appearance.
he had long wavy black hair and black eyeliner. he was wearing dark blue bell bottoms and a black crop top. he also had on a black leather jacket that was filled with pins and patches of bands and funny memes. he was staring into greens soul.
james wondered why.
he was almost done looking at everyone when two men in black suits walked in.
one had long blonde hair and was holding a snake-like cane.
the other one seemed to be young and had dark brown hair. instead of a black tie like the other man, he had a green one.
once they walked in, green and black made eye contact and practically turned red.
james could almost see the smoke coming out of their ears.
“welcome to our game show.” the blondie said. “i am lucius malfoy, one of the hosts, here next to me is tom riddle.”
‘tom riddle’ waved at everyone with an ominous smirk on his face. he was kinda cute.
“we have gathered you all here today to play a game. we have named it among us.” lucius continued.
he looked at pete and then marlene, directly across from him. she looked traumatized. they both stared at each other for a minute before tom started talking.
“ill explain the rules to you all.” he said with a deep voice.
“two people will be chose to be the ‘imposters.’ their jobs are to kill as many people as they can on the airship.” at those words, everyone's hearts dropped. “everyone else will be given tasks they need to complete, if they arent completed in time, everyone will die.”
the room started growing more panicked as tom continued, “after finding a dead body, the crewmates and imposters will have a meeting where they vote someone out. the goal is to survive, whether that means voting out the imposters or killing everyone. you win once both the imposters are voted out or when there is 1 crewmate left.”
lucius started talking after that, “the imposters will know who the other imposter is. imposters have key cards that allow them to open vents and travel throughout the airship.”
“any questions?” tom asked after lucius was done talking.
pink raised her hand.
tom went over and peeled the tape off her mouth.
“what will happen if we get voted off?” she asked quietly. her voice was soft, just as james suspected.
“you get thrown off the airship.” tom answered.
“what do you mean by airship?” she asked, everyone else was wondering.
“the airship is going to be in space. we will be leaving tomorrow after you guys sleep and get to know each other.” lucius said. “anyone else?”
james raised his hand.
tom removed his tape and he tried to stop himself from blushing.
“how long do we have?” he asked, his voice quivering.
“as much time as you need, darling.” tom replied.
james’ mouth dropped open at that. he was clearly teasing him.
“leave the boy alone, tom. ill introduce everybody in the order of the circle.” lucius said, tapping tom with his cane. tom smirked at james and walked away.
“this is james potter, his color is red. lily evans, she is orange. dorcas meadows, yellow. bartimus crouch jr, lime green. regulus black, green. evan rosier, blue. peter pettigrew, cyan. mary macdonald, purple. pandora rosier, pink. sirius black, black.. coincidently. remus lupin, brown. and laslty, marlene mckinnon, white.”
sirius was still staring at lucius will a look of murder. barty looked pissed. probably because lucius called him but his full name.
james was right however, pandora ‘pink’ and evan ‘blue’ were siblings.
“now, we will untie you guys and open the door to your new beds and showers.” tom said, looking around at everyone.
they both started leaving the room but before tom left he winked and james. “if you survive, hit me up.” tom said before slamming the door shut.
right when the door closed, their ropes because free, and everyone tore the tape off their faces. a door opened on the left of the room. everyone ran into it and then stared at each other.
“what the fuck did we get ourselves into.” marlene stated. breaking the silence.
“idk, but i regret it.” sirius replied, dapping up marlene.
