Survival: Live or Die

Chapter 6

By: Kary G.

After watching Erica and Trivette walk through that dark and lonely hallway of the labyrinth. Alex and Walker stayed there knowing this was a game; the bad thing was they didn't even know what was next for them. Bullets? Acid? Punches? Kicks? There were a lot of things that could happen in that instant. They needed to watch each other's back.

Sienna licked her lips tasting the metallic reddish liquid that ran slowly down her lower lip. She looked up to where Angela and Max were. Their faces looked pale and there was a good reason for that, Roger didn't bother to throw a piece of bread or a bottle of water. Sienna didn't know how they were still alive.

Tears welled up in her eyes but immediately held them back knowing that her parents were coming to save her…to save them. What was worst was that Nathan or Matthew weren't with her. "Where are you mom? I need you!" a voice screamed inside her head. She tried to walk to where her cousins were but her legs didn't work, she felt weak. She crawled until she was next to Angela and Max. Their breathing was laborious. Sienna could smell death surrounding them but she wasn't going to give up until she found a way to get out of her cage.

Roger sat at his office trying to figure out a way to get rid of Matthew and Nathan. The two boys were inside a humongous crib. Roger stared at the two boys that were sleeping at that moment and took them gently in his arms. His eyes filled with a black pleasure looking at another screen where four crocodiles laid on the floor waiting to be fed.

Walker helped Alex to stand up; they started to walk towards the darkness of their prison until another two persons appeared.

"Ranger Walker, How good to see you!" The Chairman's gaze moved to Alex. "Oh, my beautiful counselor, how's your little angel?" Alex hearing this try to lunge at him but Walker stopped her knowing that their purpose was to make them angry.

Alex tried to control her rage that travel through her entire body, her green eyes focused on The Chairman and to Jessica Brown that was next to him. "I don't know how my angel is. But, how's Matthew?" the question was directly to Jessica.

Jessica didn't reply but her features said another story. Alex knew that Jessica was somehow suffering. Suffering? No way! She didn't suffer when Sydney placed her in jail knowing that Matthew was going to be adopted by the ranger. But, then again what was Jessica feeling when the D.A. mentioned HER son. Was she having second thoughts?

"Why should I care? You know counselor, you're wasting my time. I want to play," her malevolous grin let Alex know that in order to survive she needed to kill. Jessica looked at The Chairman waiting for him to start.

"Ladies first," he announced to her.
