A/N: I really need to update my other stories, but yet I am so lazy.
-This is a fanfic dedicated to the ongoing story called "Dangerous Times" By Fata Lunevis. I did get her permission to write this, the other mentors -other then my own will be just mentioned or having a small cameo.
-It is JUST going to be a short story and that is all.
-There will be gore and it is going to be quite descriptive, so I do advise you that if you can't handle the gore don't really read it. It gets brutal, I -actually talk about ripping fetus out of woman's womb in extensive details.
-There will be BISEXUAL things going on, like homosexual flirting and teasing or parts but I assure you not much homosexual gets in here.
-There is NO slashes, except for my own OC.
-Canon Characters WILL somewhat suffer and get abuse. If you like that character well I am sorry.
- This is going to be angst and sad. No happy endings what-so-ever.
- Please enjoy reading!

Chessboard, Pawn - Victory

"To be or not to be, that is the question."

The Chase Game, nothing but a game made by sadistic rich who are bored out of their minds. The game of survival where two people from different district are gathered in a large arena to fight for their lives. It was not just a game but a routine for every district, although everyone dislikes it, no one dared to make a single complain about the cruel game. It was not your normal survival game, it was the survival of the fittest. You have no friends nor allies and you will do whatever you can to win, make that murdering, poisoning, backstabbing or even sleeping with people to get their darkest secret and then using that secret to control them. It is a chessboard of Death, if you know how to play with the rules then you will live, but if you don't then you will only become nothing more but a killing toy. Many did say that the winners of this cruel game are psychos, crazy people who enjoy killing people, murders, sinful creatures, dogs of Serdin or sadist, but funny thing is. Who is the real sadist? The winners or the people that watch people kill each other and get fun and entertainment out of it? Who is the real dogs of Serdin? The poor kids that get pushed into this cruel game for the fun of it or those that say nothing and push the kids into a game of cruelty. The winners blamed no one but themselves, the cruel harsh fate and their horrid luck. They said nothing, not an utter word of complain but just silent become the pawns of the games for the sake of not their home but their district.

They blamed no one for calling them murders or killers. They blamed themselves for their selfish acts to survive, each day they drown themselves in guilt and sorrow knowing that whatever they do, they will die under the hands of the Capital. Although their fates were written out already, they still worked hard for everything. Sometimes they work too hard and start to doubt themselves, not just their acts but also the game. It is hard to not be selfish, it is hard to not to whine and complain to someone. But who do they have to complain to? Although they win the game and now living in a beautiful mansion with the other winners, still no one is "friends". They know that one day, they will be back into this game and going back to their dark ways, but it is better to have no emotions or get attached so much. At least when that time comes, you fall less harder and the pain will be less painful. To them, they rather be dead then win, dying is much more happier then chocking on sorrow everyday.

Kae Seung Hyun is one of these people, he never blamed anyone or complain or even show a sign of unhappiness. He is always smiling along with Lucas and being a stupid idiot that other all named him, but deep down he felt tired. He let Fate surprise him, from the day he was chosen and till now, and till now he regretted nothing. But what he regretted was that he couldn't help those that he killed. Under that happy smile, under all that cheerful stupidity, how many people did his bare hands kill? How many blood was spoiled from his little selfish wish to live? Even he can't answer his own question, it has been too long, too many people he has killed, to the point where he even lost count. He did win the game and now here he is living at this glamorous mansion with five star quality food and always living in nothing but peace, wealth, fame and freedom. Although he now has what everyone wants, he hates it with all of his heart. He didn't win the game for power or for fame or for wealth either. He win it because he simply want to be alive, but now he feels nothing but death. Each day he stares at himself, but what he sees in his own reflection but an empty body. Glazed chocolate eyes glancing back at him with a tight collar chocking the reflection, hands handcuffed so tightly that it digs into the skin, mouth duct taped so hard that it gave barely enough power the get the air into his lungs. He is dying, not living, he is barely even in this world. Still he told no one, but only continue to smile and be that fox of the Serdin. He never once complained or whine and even show any signs of anger.

Red ruby lips smirked, "The contestants are awfully boring. We need to spice things up. We need to get them worked up. Kae, I believe you can do that right?" words come out like venom, words perfectly stretched as when it reached his name, it was stretched longer then the other words. Chocolate brown meet blazing red, not a word was uttered not with a single glance, a lot was said.

"We need Zero, he is quite important. But right now he is nothing but a lost puppy and Acho is at lost with him. I can trust that you can do that right?" long red painted nails reached towards the taller male as they rub against the soft auburn locks. A soft growl was heard as the woman withdraw her hand slightly chuckling at nothing special.

"Why not have Sharrif do it. After all, it is her specialty." the male finally replied but his tone was cold and harsh with a ting of annoyance. Red eyes locked tight with Chocolate not letting the other go. With a smirk still perfectly still on her pale perfect face, they woman only chuckle more. An annoyed growl was given in reply to the other's chuckle.

"She is busy, She is dealing with the Erudon boy and the hot headed Elesis." a soft purr was followed as the hand fell back to the other head petting the male in a gentle way.

"And what about Axerlot/Lucifer? I thought they would be excited about him." a growl was replied along with a heated glare.

"I have them to follow up with Rin and that Reaper. I think they will have more fun with the little mini goddess." The hand only stayed and still doing the same action, ignoring the heated glares and growls from the fox.

"Brendon?, Arcana?, Roseclere?" soon the fox was just naming people off.

"No, I want you to do it. I have other plans for them." was the other's reply. It was firm but gentle with a tiny threat like tone.

Unable to think of anything the fox only jerk his head away and started walking out of the room. The woman grinned at her victory over the fox, happy that her plans are going well underway, she glanced at her current chessboard. Smiling more now the woman started laughing, not at nothing but at her soon coming victory. Everything is going her way, now with the queen right under her ruling and the mentors helping her, she can see it all now. Her victory.
