Hi! I know that last chapter wasn't the best, as I may have said, I had just walked in from dancing and was supposed to be revising French...

I'm really sorry that this is so late, I haven't had much time, what with revision and stuff :/

Oh yeah, this is a plea for help: IF ANYONE HAS EVER WATCHED TRAPPED AND KNOWS OF ANY CHALLENGES I MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN, PLEASE PM ME WITH THEM OR LEAVE THEM IN REVIEWS, ALONG WITH A SHORT EXPLANATION. THANK YOU.

I own nothing. ENJOY!

Isaac, Four, Coco, Nico and Edith remaining.

Nico POV

I can't shadow-travel. I can't shadow travel.

I want to find that voice and throw her into Tartarus. She knows everything. She knows exactly who to pick as Saboteur on each level, so that someone will be trapped who doesn't deserve it.

I will escape and I will free Rapunzel and the others. Even Gale, although the ungrateful little swearword doesn't deserve it...

We jump and this time I make sure to jump after Coco. My back still hurts where she landed on me. Isaac hits the floor and swears as usual.

Four seems to be mulling everything over. He keeps glancing up, as though checking to see if the ceiling is going to cave in. At the moment, darkness is welcome for me.

"Floor Five: Snake Attack."

I hate snakes. Little slimy things. Ugh. The room changes and we are facing a crumbling stone wall with a bunch of holes in it. Annabeth would hate the architecture of it.

The Voice is explaining the challenge. Basically we have to get from one side to the other, choosing the top, middle or bottom hole for each column. If we get bitten by the snake three times, the challenge is failed.

Of course, when the challenge starts, everyone looks directly at me.

"What?"

"Come on Nico..." Coco pushes me over to the start of the wall.

"Top, middle or bottom?" I ask, hoping that they get the right answer.

"Middle?" Four says. I am on guard because he doesn't speak much, so he could be being the Saboteur...Then again, Isaac was pretty good, no-one saw that coming.

"Middle?" I look at Coco. She nods with an indifferent shrug. Edith isn't really paying attention, she's staring out of the window.

I take a breath and plunge my hand into the hole. There is a buzzer sound and my hands feels like it's burning. I snatch my hand out and stare at it. Black venom is starting to seep through my veins and I feel sick. No-one else knows this, but I really hate blood. The reality kicks in suddenly and I swear and clutch my hand to me.

"Nico! There are kids here!" Coco half-shouts at me sounding amused. Edith looks round at me with a frown.

"Never-mind. Which one next?"

"Top." Isaac says unexpectedly. I don't wait for an agreement from anyone else, but stick my hand in the wall. A chime rings out and my hand comes out unscathed.

"One right, one wrong. Next?" Coco looks around. Four puts on a face to look like he's thinking, but I know he's lying.

"Bottom?" He suggests innocently. I glare at him, but he just shrugs.

"I say top." Isaac says again, surprisingly. I want to trust his judgement, but something about how certain he sounds is stopping me. I look at Coco. She is looking from Isaac to Four with a slightly amused expression, but she's worried.

"Let's go half-way and say middle." I stick my hand in the wall nervously. Nothing. A chime rings out. "Two right, one wrong."

I actually feel like smiling. That's not something I do often. One more to go.

"The only one we haven't tried is bottom..." I say slowly. Coco nods. Isaac does too, but I notice that Four doesn't look too pleased. I stick my hand in the bottom hole, expecting a chime and a sense of relief. Instead I get the burning sensation of being bitten again. Black venom is creeping all the way up my arm now and it'll soon reach my heart.

"We need to get this last one right." Isaac says. Four just nods and I am confused. Which one of them is the Saboteur?

"Well, middle has worked twice before..."

I don't wait for an argument. I just want it to be over. I plunge my hand back into the middle.

Burning.

My vision tunnels and everything goes black.

Four POV

Nico passes out and I look at his crumpled form. He must be dead. His body can't possibly fight that venom.

Isaac gives me a challenging look. Well, he would if he was facing the right way. At the moment he's looking slightly to the left. Coco has dropped down next to Nico.

"Come on death boy..." She shakes his shoulders. "WAKE UP!"

Edith turns around with a jolt and sees Nico on the floor.

"What-?"

The Voice is talking in my ear.

"Line up and vote for who you think the Saboteur was and why."

"Isaac."

"Four because he was being so obvious."

"Tobias." I groan inwardly at the use of my full name. Only Tris is allowed to call me that.

"Isaac because he was being so obvious."

"Coco."

"Um..." She looks up from her attempts to revive Nico distractedly. "Four. Yeah, lets go with Four."

"Edith."

"Isaac because he was a good Saboteur on the last floor, but he didn't fool me this time." She says it, but I'm not entirely convinced that she was fooled. Her eyes are darting about and she keeps rubbing her nose.

"Nico."

"Ugh..." He stirs from where he is on the floor and I almost jump out of my skin. The black venom has reached his cheeks and is spreading through it. "I...I pick Edith."

Then his eyes shut.

Coco POV

Edith? Why would he pick Edith?

Then it hits me. Four and Tobias were both arguing so they looked like the Saboteurs. Edith was quieter than she should have been.

"You have voted for Tobias and Isaac." A hexagonal box on a podium rises from the floor. "The loser is the person who picks the short straw."

The box opens to reveal six rods of metal. I stand and guide Isaac to the box. He grabs one at random. Four takes his time, before choosing one. He holds it up triumphantly. Then his smile slips away.

His straw is shorter by an inch.

"Tobias, you chose the short straw and therefore will not be leaving this room. I can now reveal that the Saboteur was in fact..."

I have guessed the answer and just want her to get on with it. "...Edith."

Four stares at Edith. He moves towards her, but the trapdoor opens and she jumps. Isaac stumbles after her. I grab Nico and haul him over to the trapdoor. Just as I drop him through, I hear a voice.

"Looks like I have company."

A girl with a brown side plait steps forwards. She looks familiar.

"Katniss Everdeen?" I guess. The Hunger Games is one of my most FAVOURITE movies of ALL time.

"Yes. You should jump and check on your friend with the poisoning." I take a couple of steps back. This is one of my biggest role-models and she's actually talking to me. Even if she is a fictional character. Whoa.

"Okay." I turn and leap down. I land on Nico. Again.

"Di immortales, Coco." He lets out another couple of cuss words before I realise I'm still on top of him.

This is awkward.

Edith POV

I got away with it. Phew. I start to laugh as Coco realises that she is still sitting on Nico. Her cheeks colour and he shoves her off.

The venom is pulsing through his body now and I can see that he's getting weaker. I run over and put a hand on his forehead. It's freezing.

A glint of gold catches my eye. Outside the window, I can see a lock of golden hair. It starts to glow. I grab Nico's arm and haul him over to the window. Coco looks at me as though I've gone mad.

I grab the hair and wind it around Nico's hand. The venom fades away and I could swear I hear faint singing from above...

I AM STILL READING HOMESTUCK
