Hi again!
HayBoss: I updated Snake Attack, so see what you think :)
Clara14: Aww thanks :) I'll try doing Wipeout because I can remember that one better than Raven. I sort-of see what you mean, I'll look up Wipeout and make a plan-ish thingy. Do you have any ideas of characters you'd like to be in it? Just curious because, I know if I see something but don't like the characters, I won't read it... (::)
Anyways, here is the next chapter!
Agnes, Merida and Hiccup remaining.
Agnes POV
Well then, the final three! We drop down onto the floor and I am suddenly tackled by something. I open my mouth to scream, but then I realise that the person is hugging me.
"Agnes!"
"Edith?" My big sister Edith, everybody. Likes killing stuff, but wears a fluffy pink hat. Lethal and annoying. I try to wriggle out of her grip, but she holds tight. Eventually, someone clears their throat. She lets go and I look down. The floor is covered in water.
"What the-?" I look across at Merida and Hiccup who are just as bewildered as me. Next to them is a boy who looks really guilty. He looks from his hands to the water.
"Oops?" He says. I just shake my head.
"Agnes, this is Tag, he's my cousin sort-of." Edith gabbles. "Tag, this is Agnes, my sister."
"I'm a child of Hades." The words are out of my mouth in seconds. Tag looks stunned. "That makes us cousins. And it makes Edith our great-niece. I think."
"I'm confused." Merida volunteers. Nobody speaks after that, except for the Voice telling us to line up. Tag and Edith vanish, but apparently they'll be back afterwards.
"Floor Three: A child for tea." Well, this sounds cheerful. The room changes and an old lady stands in front of us, beaming short-sightedly through a pair of spectacles. "To pass, you must pick the correct colour plate and eat whichever sweet is on it. Two right and you pass. Two wrong and you fail."
"Agnes, do not react. You are the Saboteur. It is your job to ensure that the team fails this challenge." The Granny's eyes flash to me. She knows. I think. She knows that I'm the Saboteur.
"Let the challenge begin...Now!" We approach the table. There are three plates, one red, one blue and one green. On the red one is a cupcake that looks okay-ish. The blue one has a rainbow lollipop and the green one has a cookie! (::) I love cookies!
Anyway. "Agnes, the good sweet is on the red plate! Persuade them to pick green or blue!" The Voice hisses. Merida and Hiccup are already looking at it, so keeping my voice completely steady, I point to the cookie and say that it looks nice.
"So, who wants to try it?" I ask. Hiccup folds his arms.
"No way."
"Fine, we'll do it." I look at Merida. She groans and picks it up, before taking a cautious bite out of it. The Granny cackles madly and a cage slams down around Merida.
"What?" Merida starts rattling at the bars and attempting to escape. "What are you doing?"
"Merida?" Hiccup looks from her, to the granny, to me, then back again. I shrug innocently and turn to the next table. The plates are the same colours, but this time it's the red one with a lollipop, the blue one with the cookie and the green one with the cupcake.
"The good sweet is on the green plate!" I look at the table and Hiccup picks up the cupcake. He gives me a look that dares me to object. I say nothing, but give a smile, wondering if I can get him to think that that's a bad one. He takes no notice and bites into it. A chime rings out and the granny looks vaguely disappointed.
Her smile snaps back on again as we approach the last table. One right, one wrong. This time, the cookie is on the red plate, the lollipop is on green and the cupcake is on blue.
"The good sweet is on the green plate again, Agnes!" I look at the table, then for some reason I look up. In the rafters on the ceiling, a pair of people are hiding. Edith and Tag. They look at me and I look at them. I've been discovered anyway, so I have nothing to lose.
I pick up the lollipop from the green plate and take an experimental lick of it. It isn't too bad. The chimes ring out again and I know we've passed. I'm never leaving this room.
"You have passed." Old bat, she sounds upset. "Therefore, the Saboteur is automatically trapped on this floor. However, you must vote for who you think the Saboteur was and why."
"Agnes."
"Me because I want to vote for myself." The others give me incredulous looks and I shrug at them.
"Merida."
"Agnes, because the child got me stuck here!"
"Hiccup."
"Agnes because she just told us..." He looks at me and I grin, before pointing upwards at Edith and Tag. The cage around Merida dissolves into thin air and the trapdoor opens. The Voice says something that I'm not listening to, but I think it was that I was the Saboteur...
They jump down. "Agnes, how do feel about being trapped?" The Voice asks. I don't bother answering. I spin back round to see my great-niece/sister and cousin staring at me.
"What?"
Tag POV
She stayed...just to let the others go? That makes no sense, but it's kind of nice that it's just three kids on one floor. Hopefully, me and my cousin will get on better than me and Edith. Apparently children of Poseidon and Ares don't get along very well...
So, how was it? Ideas for the rescue and escaping are welcomed (eagerly).
REVIEWS PLEASE!
