It was 12:14 AM on a Wednesday. A giant corporate structure was the home of murder spree. No one was allowed to come within 5000 feet of the building. No one but the Battle Royale committee knew what was going on inside that building.
Carlos gribbed the light bulb tighter. The light above him was so dim it might as well have been off. He turned right and started proceeding to the elevator.
"Carlos?" a small voice whispered from an office cubicle.
"Who's there!" Carlos shouted and backed up against a wall.
"It's me Sarah...are you gonna kill me?" Sarah whispered as she slowly came out of the cubicle. Carlos looked at her.
"No Sarah I won-" A loud shot erupted through the room and a huge chunk of the cubicle wall exploded into pieces.
"Ahhhh!" Sarah screamed and ran towards Carlos.
"Come here you little bitch!" Someone shouted on the other side of the room.
"Oh my god." Sarah whispered and jammed her finger into the elevator down button. A large shadow started to enlarge on the wall. Then around the corner, Will popped out with a massive shotgun in his arms. He had an angry look on his face. Glasses broken and brown short hair ruffled. His short was half tucked in and his belt was hanging loose on his jeans.
"Hey, two fucking birds with one shot." Will whispered. The elevator dinged and the door opened. Sarah immediately ran in. Will fired at her while Carlos ran to the left to tackle Will. Will looked at Carlos running up to him and tried to aim his gun down but was too slowly and got thrown to the blue carpet. Carlos repeatedly smashed his fist into Will's face until his knuckles started to bleed. When he lifted his hand away, Will was coughing up blood.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Carlos whispered with heavy breaths. He picked up the light bulb from the floor. He hear something slide across the carpet and looked down to see Will grabbing his gun. Carlos quickly came down with his light bulb and smashed into Will's face. The glass punctured his hand and he let out a small yelp. He palm almost covered Will's face and he raised it up. Most of the glass stuck to his hands but one big piece was jabbed halfway into his eye. Will twitched repeatedly. A clear liquid slowly ran down his cheek. Carlos stood up in shock with what he did.
"Oh god..." Carlos said to himself.
#9 Will Dead (31 Remaining)
Carlos walked back into a wall taking deep breaths. He turned down and saw a streak of blood. He looked further up to see Sarah inside the elevator on the floor. Blood trickled out of a gaping hole in her side. She took small breaths and looked straight ahead.
"Oh no...Sarah?" Carlos bent down next to her. Her purple shirt was now dark red. The blood created a long streak on the walls as she fell. He moved her feet out of the way of the door. Carlos looked back down at her and let out a big sigh.
"This is not right." He said to himself. The elevator doors closed and it started to move down.
"Shit!" Carlos said. He tried to find a weapon but nothing was in the elevator. He looked down at Sarah and an idea sprung into view.
"Come on you fucking thing!" Todd shouted at the elevator doors in front of him. He waited a little more and they opened.
"Yes! Oh shit..." he said. Carlos was inside with blood all over him. He was on the floor not breathing. Sarah was next to him still taking small breaths. Barely hanging onto life.
"Fuck, sucks to be you guys." Todd said and walked into the elevator. His gun stuck out of his pocket. He stood in the elevator with his back towards Carlos. He whistled a tune. Obviously not caring about killing anyone. Carlos opened his eyes and looked at Carlos. He saw the gun clearly. Todds white shirt had trickles of blood on it. Without thought Carlos snatched the gun out of his pocket and aimed it at him.
"Woah!" Todd shouted and backed up against the walls.
"What floor are we going to?" Carlos asked.
"Uh-uh...fl-floor 78. Angela is up their." Todd replied with a frightened voice.
"How do you know?"
"She went in before me and I saw what number she stopped at."
"Who's blood is that?"
"It's mine...Doug thought I was someone else and punched me in the nose. He's still downstairs. Dude please stop pointing the gun at me...I'm not going to kill anyone!" Todd shouted. Carlos looked at him and put the gun in his pocket and stood up.
"Well I am. I'm killing anyone that kills anyone else." Carlos said sternly. A small choking sound was heard. Carlos and Todd looked down to see Sarah take her last breath.
#20 Sarah Dead (30 Remaining)
The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Floor 78 was a massive room with just cubicles. More than 100 of them. The lights were bright.
"Angela!" Todd shouted.
"Baby?" Angela came out from behind a cubicle. An AK-47 was shaking in her hands as she trembled.
"Oh baby!" Angela shouted as she saw Todd. She ran up to him and hugged him.
"I'm here now ok?" Todd said to her with a nurturing voice.
"Carlos?" Angela asked.
"Yeah." Carlos replied.
"Sorry I didn't recognize you. Why do you have blood all over you?"
"It's...it's Sarah's blood. And some of it is Will's." Carlos said while looking at the floor.
"Oh my god no...Sarah is dead?" Angela said with tears coming to her eyes. Carlos nodded and moved out the way, revealing a dead Sarah laying in the elevator. Angela cupped her hands over her face and started to cry.
"Baby please don't cry." Todd whispered. Carlos had a sad look on his face. The elevator doors closed. Angela ran back into her cubicle and began to sob. Todd followed behind.
"Fuck." Carlos said to himself. He walked down the small path in between the cubicles and observed them. They all had the same Dell computer and some papers strewn about. Carlos went inside one and pressed the power button for the computer. No luck. He sat in the computer chair and began to think.
"Where the hell is Rick?" He began to ponder on the thought. Todd turned the corner.
"Hey man, we should stick together and look for more people who don't want to participate in this bullshit." he said.
"Yeah man I'm with you. Angela's staying here?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah. Can I have my gun by the way?"
"Sure but I get the AK." Carlos said with a slight laugh.
"Whatever." Todd replied. They walked to the elevator. Carlos took the AK and they pushed the up button. Figuring some would try and get to the top to hide. The elevator was on floor 13.
"Man this is going to take forever. What about the other elevator." Carlos said.
"Uhh...it's out of service. Shit." Todd said as he read the paper on the other set of doors. Carlos sighed and they both waited. Five minutes later the doors opened. Sarah was not inside and a long trail of blood, like somebody had dragged he out, was inside.
"Shit, it had to be a friend that dragged her out. I say we go to 13." Todd said.
"Good idea let's move." Carlos replied quickly.
"We'll be right back baby." Todd said in a loving voice to Angela who was next to him. She nodded and gave a light smile. Todd walked into the elevator trying not to slip on the blood and put his back against the wall, not realizing he was standing against blood. Angela waved goodbye as the doors closed and the elevator silently went down. Todd looked at Carlos and gave a nod, non-verbally saying that they would get through this.
"We should have taken the stairs. Most of the murdering fucks would watch the elevators." Carlos said quietly.
"Your right. Too late now." Todd replied. Minutes went by and the doors opened. The room was a big room with a counter in the center and a offices which lined the sides. Everything was white except a long blood trail which led to an office in the corner.
"Let's go." Todd cocked his gun and walked towards the office. The walls of the office were glass so Todd slowly peeked inside. He quickly turned back and looked at Carlos.
"It's Rick!" He whispered loudly.
"Rick?" Carlos thought to himself with a happiness that he found his friend. Carlos walked up to the door and opened.
"Rick!" He shouted. A quick flash and a loud boom followed by the glass wall shattering startled Carlos to the ground.
"What the fuck!" he screamed.
"Oh shit Carlos!" Rick threw down a sniper rifle and ran up to Carlos.
"You alright man?" he asked.
"What the fuck is wrong with you you idiot!" Carlos said as he was getting up.
"I'm sorry I'm fucking scared man!" he replied. Todd walked up to both of them.
"Fuck man. I'm standing next to the glass and it just all goes flying into my face." He said.
"Todd I'm sorry man." Rick said.
"What were you doing with Sarah's body?" Carlos said.
"Oh I didn't do anything, I saw a line of blood and I followed it to this office. Must've been one of her friends you know protecting her corpse." Rick replied. Carlos walked into the office and saw Sarah lying on the floor creating a small pool of blood.
"Jesus how much blood does the bitch have?" Todd said while crossing his arms.
"That's not funny man." Carlos said while giving Todd a dirty look.
"Hey you guys know the time?" Rick asked.
"Yeah." Todd pulled out his phone. "1:42 AM." he said.
"You manage to get a signal?" Carlos asked.
"Nah they got everything blocked." Todd said with a sad tone.
"Anyway Rick, if you don't want to come with us, go to floor 78. Angela is their and we're banding together everyone who doesn't want to fight." Todd said to Rick.
"Fuck that I'm with you guys all the way." Rick said with a smile. Carlos smiled also.
"Well I say we take the stairs and investigate floor by floor." Carlos said.
"Alright fine with me. Let's move." Todd replied and they all took off towards the stairs.
