Waking up in a dimly lit room, I could feel my head throbbing as though someone was taking a hammer to it. I slowly began to sit up on the bed I laid in, but just before then, I noticed how fresh the sheets smelled, as though someone had just washed them a few hours earlier.

A singular lamp on a nightstand barely made anything in the room visible, but I saw just enough through my hazy vision to see two others laying on beds in this small room with me. Who were they? How did I get here? I couldn't remember, but I was ready to find out.
 
As I moved closer to one of the others in the room, lamp firmly gripped in both my hands, and looking to see if this person was even conscious, I noticed by its light there was yet another bed with someone else upon it.

"How many people are in here?" I began to wonder with a puzzled look. And just as soon as I looked again at the one I initially moved toward, they had lunged from their bed at me, and we began a struggle.
 
Off-STORY: Are we supposed to be writing like this - you taking on the role of one character and I, another? If not, let me know and I'll try to gloam in on your character (since you're the "originator" :)).

If not.... continuing:

"You're not going to get me, Angel of Death!" I grunted as I grabbed the hands holding the lamp, tussling with her for its possession. When the woman yelled, "What!???" I saw my chance. Holding tightly to the stem of the lamp, I quickly twisted my body, down and around, flipping her bodily onto the bed and tearing the lamp from her hands.

"Aha!" I yelled triumphantly, pouncing upon her. "I gotcha! Now give me the gold!"

"Wha...." The Angel of Death looked stunned up at me, straddling her body, one hand on her throat, the other swinging the heavy-based lamp threateningly above my head. Her eyes gleaming like a deer's caught in headlights, she tore the hand from around her neck, twisted her head and yelled, "Help!"
 
"Mmm.." I shifted tiredly in my bed, running my hand along the sheets in search of him, but he was not there. Odd. Something's different. These aren't even my sheets..!! I opened my weary eyes to find myself in a dingy room. What..? My eyes and ears soon adjusted to the dark and I saw two women engaged in a tussle for a lamp. This alerted me, prompting me to spring to my feet on the bed. "What's going on?!" I squealed, throwing my hands over my face in horror. "Stop it! What are you doing!?!?!" Their struggle ended abruptly and both women turning to me. "Is this some sort of sick joke?!" I sobbed.
