"Casey calm down." Ryan said.
Casey stopped pacing and looked at him, "Ryan, you try calming down when u know that you're a dead man walking!" He then continued to pace.
Gabriella looked up from the bed off roses she was looking at. "She isn't here yet Casey. You still have time"
"Time for what?! To make my will"
"I'm sure there's a way to stop her." Kira said.
"Like how"
"I don▓t know that part yet"
Troy drove up in his firebird. He jumped out and ran to Gabriella.
"Gabriella, are you ok?" Troy asked hugging her tight.
"Yes, but not for much longer. Troy I can't breath." Gabriella said.
"Oh sorry." Troy said letting go.
"Gabriella┘┘ oh shit." Casey jumped back in the van and looked at the laptop.
"Casey, what are you mumbling about?" Troy asked.
"He got killed a few minutes ago." Kira said.
"So much for him being the master and never getting killed in these games." Troy mumbled.
"True, but not what I meant. The last thing I saw was┘.Gabi getting dragged away." Casey rubbed the back of his neck.
Gabriella's mouth dropped. Troy held her close.
"And before I could do anything about it┘" he moved his hand swiftly in front of his neck.
Horses hooves were heard galloping. "Ah fuck!" Casey said. He jumped out of the van and jumped in a bush full of wild roses.
"What the hell are you doing?" Troy asked.
"It's called hiding." Casey said.
A horse drawn carriage stopped in the middle of the road and a woman in a red dress stepped out. Troy stood in front of Gabriella. Bathory pulled out shears and walked towards the bushes. Everyone else stood there in shock. Bathory stopped and looked at Casey. Casey stared back at her, then made a gagging motion. She started swinging but stopped before she got to the bushes then disappeared.
"What the hell?" Casey said, he then looked and noticed he was in the wild roses. "That's it! The roses"
"What the hell are you going on about?" Troy said.
"In the game the roses protect you. So, they do the same here." Ryan said.
"Exactly!" Casey said, burying himself in the roses.
"You can't stay in there forever." Gabriella said.
"Says who"
"Says everyone." Ryan said.
Casey groaned and stood up. He grabbed a lot of roses and but them in his pockets. "Insurance."
