Hi! Thanks for all the favourites and follows :)

To pixie:Thanks for the review, it actually made my day :D I think that they will probably meet the people already trapped at some point (definitely Jack and maybe Tag) and I will see what I can do about Nico seeing as you asked so nicely. (And he's one of my favourites...heh) I don't read Homestuck, but I looked it up and probably will do in the future.

I own nothing. Enjoy!


Rapunzel, Hermione, Isaac, Tobias, Gale, Nico, Edith and Coco remaining.


Gale POV

I land on the floor with a thud, then realise that I landed on another trapdoor. It creaks, so I get off it quickly. Four reaches out a hand. I take it and get up, just as the others fall through the trapdoor after me.

I look around. There are five green walls and one purple one. You can barely see the paint because it's peeling so badly. On the other side of the room, there is a table with a box on it. In the box are eight weird golden things. They look like huge ear pieces.

Coco lands, giggling about something and it takes a few seconds for Nico to follow her. Rapunzel jumps down last. Man, she has a lot of hair.

Hermione is inspecting the ear pieces. I go and join her. She holds one up.

"Any ideas?" Her voice is bossy, like a know it all, but I like that. Wait, what? I look at her and she looks back at me, still holding up the ear clip. Her brown hair tumbles in waves and her eyes seem like melted chocolate. I could have sworn that something passed between us, but she turns away. I'm pretty sure that her ear turns a little red.

I am interrupted from my whirling thoughts by the Voice.

"Unfortunates. The golden objects are whisper-clips. Please attach one to your right ear. I will guide you through them, especially the Saboteur on each floor."

We put the whisper-clips on, but I'm wondering what the 'Saboteur' is. As if in answer, the Voice buzzes through the ear piece.

"The Saboteur on each floor will try to ensure that the team fails the challenge. If the team pass, then the Saboteur is automatically trapped on that floor. If the Saboteur succeeds in making the team fail, then you will all vote for who you think the Saboteur was and why. The person with the most votes it trapped."

Realisation dawns on our faces. One person will escape. The rest of us...

"Line up against the purple wall." We obey and I blink. The room has changed completely. It is full of twisted and gnarled trees, covered in red and yellow fruit. I look closer and see that some of the fruits are purple. In the middle of the room are eight baskets.

"Unfortunates, this is poisoned harvest. To pass, at the end of the thirty seconds none of the baskets may be contaminated with poisoned purple berries. They may only contain red and yellow ones. If two or more baskets are contaminated, the team will fail."

She goes silent and I think that my whisper-clip has stopped working. I am about to take it off, but the Voice starts talking again. She goes over the rules again.

"Let the challenge begin...Now!" I sing a basket onto my back and immediately grab a handful of red and yellow berries. I toss them into Four's basket and wonder who the Saboteur is. Then I mentally face-palm. She must have told someone when my whisper-clip went silent.

I continue to fill up Four's basket, then move on to Edith's. She turns when I put the first couple in with a scowl. The feeling is mutual. Little kids generally don't like me. Coco has climbed a tree on the other side of the room and is pelting Rapunzel and Nico with fruit. I can't help it. I burst out laughing. Four follows my gaze and chuckles. I only stop when Hermione catches my eye and gives me a look of stone.

Four catches the look and bursts out laughing all over again. This time, Edith joins in. Isaac is doing pretty well with collecting the fruits, but I wonder how he can tell which ones are red and yellow. His fingers skim over the purple ones and they are left untouched.

"Thirty seconds remaining."

I'm not worried at all. I haven't seen anyone putting any purple berries in, so we must have passed. Time ticks by and I pelt a couple of fruits at Coco when she accidentally hits me instead of Nico. She dodges and they hit Hermione, who in turn aims at me. They miss and hit Four. Soon we have an entire war of fruit throwing. Me and Four side together against Hermione and Rapunzel. Edith runs up into the tree with Coco and Nico and Isaac just stand and watch in the shelter of a particularly big tree.

"Three, two, one...your time is up. You have passed." I give a small sigh of relief. "Now, line up and vote for who you think the Saboteur was and why."

I am confused, but we line up.

"Rapunzel."

"Coco, because she was distracting everyone."

"Nico."

"Coco because I saw her throw a purple berry into a basket."

"Gale." I am stunned, I can't think of who it might be, so I just go along with it.

"Coco, because she threw a fruit at me." It sounds stupid and everyone stares at me, so I shrug helplessly.

"Isaac."

"I couldn't see anything, but Gale because that argument sounded weak."

"Coco."

"Rapunzel because I saw her putting purple fruits in baskets. Why else would I have been throwing fruit at her?"

"Tobias." Four rolls his eyes.

"Nico because he didn't do anything."

"Hermione."

"Rapunzel because she was trying to be sneaky, but every time she put a berry in someone's basket, I took it out."

We all stare at her. Rapunzel gives her a questioning look and Nico glowers at Hermione. I stand next to her and give him a glare back. His glare sends shivers down my spine and I have sudden visions of suffocating and dying in painful ways.

"You don't want me as an enemy." He hisses. Hermione and Rapunzel both push us to other ends of the room.

"Edith."

"Gale because he threw random berries in my basket and I think I saw a purple one."

"You have voted for Coco." The said person just shrugs. "But the team passed, which means that the Saboteur is automatically trapped on this floor. I can now reveal that the saboteur was in fact..."

She pauses for effect and I wish she would get on with it.

"...Rapunzel."


There is instant mayhem. Nico's eyes go wide and he starts muttering.

"No, no, no..." Rapunzel tries to calm him down, but I think he deserves it. His eyes are scared I am suddenly afraid. They are broken, like something inside him has shattered. He swings round to me and I take a couple of steps backwards.

The trees have disappeared. The others are standing around us. Nico raises a fist to punch me, but it stopped. Hermione is standing in front of me.

"No. Grow up."

"Don't argue." This is a new voice. We all turn to see a girl with blonde hair leaning against the window sill. She is dressed head to toe in black and I can see a tattoo of something on her collarbone.

"Tris?" Four walks towards her. They stop, a couple of feet apart, before he lifts her up and swings her round. They start making out.

"GET A ROOM!" Coco says loudly. "THERE ARE LITTLE CHILDREN HERE!" She points to Edith, who shrugs. Four and 'Tris' break apart.

"What are you doing here?" Four says.

"I'm trapped." She looks around at us. "Do any of you know a guy named Percy?"

Nico steps forwards. "Yes."

"I think he escaped." Nico's face relaxes slightly. He must care about this 'Percy' a lot. The trapdoor suddenly drops open. Isaac was standing on it. He falls straight down. I hear him slam into the ground, followed by a lot of swearing.

Hermione follows him, dragging Coco and Edith with her. I remain. Four and Tris are talking earnestly. Tris kisses him one last time, before shoving him through the trapdoor.

Rapunzel is trying to reason with Nico, but he will have none of it.

"I'm not leaving you." He says. Rapunzel looks at me pleadingly. I don't want to do it, mainly because he'll kill me later, but I pick Nico up bodily and drop him through the trapdoor. I turn back to say something, but Rapunzel and Tris are already in deep conversation about something.

I jump and land on Nico. The trapdoor slams shut.

One down. Seven left.


I'm REALLY sorry that Rapunzel is trapped and that Tris hasn't escaped yet, but I have an idea about Rapunzel which ties in with the threequel idea below.

I want to write a threequel because I've had an idea for how to end it when we have all the trios together. Three people will have escaped. The tower won't be able to trap any more people when they're done with it.

In the last story would be: Ron, Peeta, Christina, Annabeth, Hiccup, Merida, Agnes (Despicable me) and Mouse (Cathy Cassidy book)
