The next day the 11 remaining kids woke up in the 2ND room. They were all still confused as to what was going on.
"Do you guys think this is a new reality TV show we're competing in?" asked Brenda.
"I'm not sure. I don't remember applying for any TV shows recently" said Claudette.
"That crazy woman probably kidnapped us & brought us here. I doubt this is a new show" said Darcy.
"Perhaps it's a publicity stunt. If it's being broadcast around the entire world there's a chance she wants her name to be known for some reason" said Elias.
"This doesn't make sense. Why is this happening to us?" asked Flynn.
"There must be some way we were chosen for this. I don't think Linda just picked 12 random kids out from everyone else" said Ginny.
"I don't even know how she knows us. I can't say I've ever met her before" said Henry.
"None of us have. Her name doesn't sound familiar" said James.
"Do you guys really think Irene was actually killed?" asked Nadia.
"I hope not. Maybe she's alive & that her "death" was just a staged event to make this whole thing more interesting" said Rhys.
"If she's actually dead then Linda's incredibly stupid for broadcasting it. She's basically revealing that she's a serial killer to the whole world" said Thomas.
Everyone once again tried to escape but their attempts were futile. A target with different coloured zones & 11 sets of bows & arrows appeared in the room as Linda was heard on the intercom.
"For this challenge each of you has a bow & arrow set which you'll use to try & hit the target with. Each zone of the target is worth a different amount of points. The bullseye is worth 100 points, the inner zone is worth 75 points, the outer zone is worth 50 points & the edge is worth 25 points. Each of you has 3 arrows to fire at the target. Whoever has the highest score at the end of the challenge wins & gets to start the elimination process. Good luck" said Linda.
Everyone picked up a bow & arrow set & took it in turns to fire at the target. Brenda went 1ST. Her 1ST arrow hit the outer zone, her 2ND arrow hit the inner zone & her final arrow hit the bullseye giving her a total of 225 points. Claudette went next & scored 175 points by landing 1 arrow in the bullseye & 1 in the inner zone with the 3RD arrow missing the target. Darcy's arrows landed in the inner, outer & edge zones giving her a score of 150, Elias made precise adjustments & astonishingly got all 3 arrows in the bullseye giving him 300 points, Flynn got 1 arrow in the outer zone & 2 in the edge zone giving him 100 points, Ginny got 2 arrows in the inner zone & 1 in the outer zone giving her 200 points, Henry got all 3 arrows in the edge zone giving him 75 points, James got all 3 arrows in the inner section giving him 225 points, Nadia only landed 1 arrow in the edge zone while the other 2 missed the target giving her 25 points, Rhys missed the target completely leaving him with 0 points & Thomas hit the bullseye twice & the inner zone once giving him 275 points.
"Congratulations Elias. Whether by luck or skill you've won another challenge. Once again you get to start the elimination process" said Linda.
The bow & arrow sets & the target disappeared as a table with 10 keys appeared. Elias took 1 key & began the elimination process.
"I'll save Nadia" said Elias.
"I'm going to save Thomas" said Nadia as she grabbed a key.
"I'm saving Brenda" said Thomas as he grabbed a key.
"I shall save Flynn" said Brenda as she grabbed a key.
"I choose to save Claudette" said Flynn as he grabbed a key.
"I wish to save Henry" said Claudette as she grabbed a key.
"Darcy is who I'm saving" said Henry as he grabbed a key.
"James is safe" said Darcy as she grabbed a key.
"The last person safe is Ginny" said James as he grabbed a key.
"For a moment I thought I was done for" said Ginny as she grabbed a key. This left Rhys without a key.
"Sorry Rhys but you've been eliminated. The rest of you may advance to the next room" said Linda.
Everyone who had a key used it to enter the next room leaving Rhys all alone.
"The death trap in this room involves water rushing in & filling every inch of the room. It must suck to know you're going to die at the age of 16. Goodbye Rhys" said Linda as water began filling the room. Rhys desperately tried to escape.
"HELP. STOP THE WATER. THIS IS CRAZY. LET ME OUT" cried Rhys as the room continued to fill with water. Eventually the entire room was filled. Rhys held his breath as he tried to find a way out but soon he started breathing water in & he drowned. Meanwhile Ryder went around Adventure Bay trying to find where Elias & the other kids were being held. He asked everyone in town if they recognised the other kids, Linda or the location they were being held. Unfortunately, nobody had a clue as to where they were & they didn't recognise anyone other than Elias. After searching throughout town & finding no leads Ryder returned to the Lookout.
"So far, I still haven't found anything leading to the whereabouts of Elias, Linda & the other kids. How about you guys? Did you get any leads?" asked Ryder.
"No, we didn't. We gave it our best shot, but we got nothing" said Chase.
"We'll continue the search tomorrow. Let's get some rest" said Ryder.
Everyone proceeded to settle down for the night. As Ryder went to bed he thought about how bizarre it was that Linda was broadcasting horrific imagery that likely involved death.
"I don't know what the story is behind this so called "game" but if Linda's actually killing off those kids for losing we'll have her brought to justice. I can't tell if the deaths are real or if it's just acting. The sooner we figure out the truth the better" thought Ryder as he went to sleep.
