His head was throbbing, his mind racing, his body weak, and his breath shallow. He slowly got up as he kept his eyes closed. He remembered where he was, remembered what had happened in the past hours, and because he remembered; he wanted to forget. He silently opened his eyes and looked into darkness. He last remembered screaming with the others when the lights went out, then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and fell to the ground.
"Hello?" He said. "Victor—Emily—Buddy—Sara—anybody?" He screamed out, but there was no reply. He stood up straight in fear, and tried to find even the slightest of light. "Jasmine—Jaya—Luis—Brittany?" Again there was no reply; he felt the fear rise within him. "Where is everyone?"
He walked slowly forward feeling around in front of him, but when he felt something…it wasn't a something he wanted to feel again. He felt a cold metal chair and followed it down to the attached chains. His fear resumed as he thought of where he was.
"No, no—no it can't be; not again."
Suddenly a static filled the room, and a voiced followed only making the hairs on his arms rise.
Hello Stephan, it's time you learned exactly what has happened in these past hours…and why you are here.
She awoke as she was sitting upward against a cold wall. She gradually went to stand but stumbled outwards, as she stumbled across the floor she tripped on something; or the way she felt it...it was someone.
"What the fuck?" The unknown person said.
She was taken aback, it was pitch black, she just woke up and her head was spinning, and now she's in a room which could be anywhere. She crept away from the person.
"Who's there?" The person said again.
After a minute of thinking, she was going to speak the person; for the voice became familiar after the ringing in her ears stopped. But before she could speak, a static had filled the room leaving the two of them frozen; it was all like experiencing the horror again.
Hello Sara—Jaya, it is time you both learn why you are essential to this game. Perhaps after you learn more it'll make the decision in the end easier or harder. You see, in the end only one of you will be walking out of here alive...
His head rushed as he rose from the floor, he was confused, but mostly he wanted to see the person he cared so much for; but it was hard to see in pitch black. All he wanted was for him to be safe, that's all he's ever wanted. He felt that urge to protect him when he found out that he had been imprisoned in this "game" as well.
"Baby—boothead, are you there Stephan? If you are please answer!" He shouted and when there was no answer, fear began to consume him.
He took a step forward and tripped over something; it was solid, big, and felt almost like a human. He slowly reached to the object, whatever it was, and touch it gently with caution. Once felt, he gasped loudly.
"No—no way." He whispered.
Hello Victor, you have a bond with one of the victims. In the end you'll have to choose who lives; a sacrifice for love, him or you?
His eyes went wide as he heard those words, sure he always said that he'd take a bullet for him; but the moment in time of which they were in, had him more confused than ever before.
She was breathing heavy as she awoke the events that had occurred never left her mind; it only made her even more uneasy. She awoke the blackness of a room which she knew not of. It was dark and cold; a cough escaped her mouth. She looked up and around not being able to see a thing, she felt blind and constricted of her freedom. She slowly began to crawl around and she felt something, something that struck her odd. It felt thick and gross, like guts from a dead bug oozing out. She tried to go on a bit more but ran into a body; she felt the body and instantly became freaked out. She went to scream, but before she could a static filled the room.
Hello Jasmine, you participation in this game has been needed. But it's time you start focusing on the light of another day. Someone here is out to get you; you must stop them before they stop you.
She awoke in such pain, her hand was throbbing fiercely. She had tear stains on her face, she limped to get up in the pitch black and felt around. She found a wall and let it guide her. The walls had felt cold and hungry, hungry for warmth; she continued on walking until she ran into something. It caught her off guard she felt the object in front of her. Before she thought it out she screamed loudly, it was a metal chair that had a device she knew well around the top of the chair. She wanted to run, and she did. She tried remembering the set-up of the room and ran. But she ran into a table, and heard glass breaking. Soon after she took few breaths, but what she didn't feel right away was the biting sensation on her exposed legs. She sat for a minute, and once she felt the pain shooting up her leg she screamed again. Suddenly her screams we halted when the room had been filled with static.
Hello Brittany, you have a strong will, and a will to fight. But someone here is going to challenge you, in order for you to see the light of another day; you must listen to what I have to say.
He had been awake for several minutes sitting there, afraid to get up. His body was aching and his mind was racing, he wanted to go home and sleep. He was peaceful until he heard a cough in the room. With his might he shot up and looked around in the everlasting darkness that consumed his surroundings.
"Who's there?" He asked.
"WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?" The voice shouted back, you heard his accent; you also heard his anger.
"Don't fucking cuss at me! I asked you first!" He replied as his hand clenched into a fist.
"Look man, if I find out you put me here I'm gonna fucking kill you!" The voice screamed.
Before he could reply back to the voice, static had suddenly filled the room.
Hello Buddy—Luis, it's time you two spent some time together. Together for the first and final time, for you see in the end only one of you will be walking out alive...
Buddy had then felt a pain he had never thought he'd endure so intensely; fear.
Her head hurt like hell, and her mind returned with fuzzy memories following. She slowly rose holding her head up but, gently fell back down. She stayed down this time, resting her head on her arm. She let out a soft sigh and a shiver escaped her body.
"Stephan?" She said aloud as she opened her eyes slowly, looking into darkness. "Stephan are you there?" She asked, there was no response; and there was certainly no one else in the room, as she spoke she heard her voice echo.
She felt around and felt an object, she suddenly recoiled as the memories flooded her mind.
"That's not possible…this can't be."
Hello Emily, welcome to the final game. Your betrayal has lead you into the game yourself. Now you are imprisoned with the rest, you must make your way along with everyone else to the finish line. Then and only then will we see who is the strongest and has the most will power to want and see another day.
He watched as the words were spoken every room within the imprisoned walls had been lit up with light. A smile had crept upon his face.
"Is it almost over sir?" The man in shadows asked.
"No, I believe it has just really begun." John had answered with a quiet chuckle.
Stephan screamed as he was locked into the room of which he had let people die. He fell to his knees and started sobbing.
"GOD DAMMT! When will this end?" He shouted, as the room only gave him an echo in return. The scent left from the shocked bodies left Stephan feeling nauseous.
Sara and Jaya stood up looking at each other with fury, as they were surrounded by the room of which they were imprisoned in the glass chambers.
As Jaya turned away to look at her glass chamber she closed her eyes shut, when she opened them she heard a scream. She looked ahead of her and saw Sara with a rusty pipe. Sara was running towards her with the pipe in air ready to lunge at her. Before she could react to the moment, she felt the cold pipe hit the left side of her head. She screamed out and fell to the ground.
"I—am—not—dying—today!" Sara screamed as she was hyperventilating through each word.
Victor, on his knees, struggled to look away from the bloody and now dead Will. He began to sob hysterically; losing all his collected calm which he had tried to maintain. He slowly rose from the floor and looked away from Will, suddenly and anger filled his eyes again.
Next to Will was the pipe he had used to kill Will. He bent down and grabbed it, once gripped he slowly stood up straight. Before he knew what he was doing he started slamming the pipe against Will's dead body.
"DAMN—YOU—MOTHER—FUCKER!" He said between each time he slammed the pipe into Will's ribcage. He released the pipe and fell to the ground, looking at his hands he saw the dry blood from before. "It's your fault I'm here…" He looked down at Will disgusted. "It's your FAULT!" He screamed.
Jasmine awoke in a room she didn't know of, she didn't know of where she was, but she knew who was lying there dead in front of her. Hollie lay dead and white, and Jasmine only screamed for what was beyond her. Beyond Hollie was a glass window, which she saw her enemy; she saw who she had to kill just to get by.
She ran up to the window with hatred in her eyes. She was ready to kill, when the signal was released.
"You're gonna die you FUCKING BITCH!" She screamed, her voice had shown determination. She was ready to see the light of tomorrow, and she was willing to do whatever it took.
Brittany eyes went wide as she saw her surroundings; flesh eating maggots roamed the floors around her. She was going ballistic and wanted to cry and scream, but she let her tears fall quietly as she sobbed while the maggots at her pale flesh. She shut her eyes, and then quickly opened them.
"I've gatta get to her, she's gonna die If it's the last thing I do." She said, her voice raspy and her eyes fierce.
Buddy was on one side of the room staring at Luis, while Luis did the exact same thing to Buddy on the other side. They both looked enraged, and they both looked determined; they both looked determined to see the light of tomorrow.
Luis was the first to make his move; he had a pocket knife he had stashed in his shoe. He reached down pretending to tie his shoe, once he grasped the knife he flipped it out and ran towards Buddy. Once he was close enough he plunged the knife forward.
"DIE MOTHERFUCKER!" Luis screamed as he landed on top of Buddy stabbing him in the shoulder.
Buddy shrieked of the pain in his shoulder, as he started panting from the pain that filled him he quickly made his move. It was a classic move, but it had worked. Buddy took his foot and slammed it right in-between Luis' legs. As Luis flew back crying in pain, Buddy used his might to pull out the knife and plunge forward.
As Buddy reached Luis, Luis had maneuvered his legs for the right moment. Once that moment had come he wrapped his legs around one of Buddy's and twisted away. Buddy once again screamed out as his leg was being twisted; he slammed onto the floor head first. He looked up with blood down his cheek, he had scrapped it badly.
"You fucker…" Buddy began saying in a hushed tone.
"Just wait bitch, this ain't over." Luis said as he managed to hold a smile.
Maria was now into the game, she saw all rooms lit up; and she wanted to see Sara dead. But as she watched, she heard footsteps from behind her; it was her mom. She quickly shut the monitor off and grabbed a book pretending to read.
"Maria?" Her mom knocked as she slowly came in.
"Yeah mom?" She said keeping her eyes on the book.
"Just wanted to tell you I have to run a couple places, wanna come with me?" She asked.
"No mom, it's fine. I'm almost done with my homework, just doing a little reading to get my mind back on track." She smiled as she looked up at her mom.
"Oh, okay…I thought I'd ask. Love you; see you when I get home." Her mom said with a wave and she closed the door.
Maria listened for about two minutes until she heard the door downstairs close and watched by the window to see her mom leave. Once she was gone she hurried back to the screen turned it on and watched closely.
Emily sat there looking at the four walls, she was tired and hungry. She was depressed and pissed off, and she wanted this whole thing to be over. She struggled to get up, and once she did she realized that she felt terribly weak and light-headed.
"Ugh, what the hell…" She said aloud.
As the words erupted from her mouth, the door not far from her opened. She walked towards it as cold air hit her face. She approached the door, but she didn't expect this to happen.
From the corner a man came face to face with Emily, "Hello Emily…it's nice to see you again." A coy smile appeared on his face.
"Shit…" Emily said as fear crawled back into her eyes.
Maria sat watching, glued to the screen. She was so entertained that she almost couldn't contain herself. At one point she thought she heard the door open and close downstairs, she shook it off thinking it was just her mom.
She read the messages from the other viewers; they were nearly as excited as she was.
VMBeliever16: my god, this is pure genius.
She said, she was hooked watching this; she also couldn't wait to see one person die. She read on with the responses, until she heard a noise in the hall. It wasn't a normal noise she heard in her house. It sounded like a snort. She turned around slowly as she rose from her chair.
She looked back at the screens, upset that she was missing the action. She carefully opened her door and walked out into the hallway. There was nothing there, so she turned back to go into her room; closed her door and began to walk back to the computer.
But, something made her turn…something weird. As she turned she heard another snort and the weight of someone tackling her down to the ground. When she landed she ended up hitting her head, knocking her out.
"Cold…cold…cold…" She thought to herself.
She awoke in a green room, rusted walls, and the smell of death was in the air. She looked around panicked. She had no clue where she was, but once the static filled the room; not only did she know it, she had feared it.
Hello Maria and welcome to the game.
