Here's the next chapter

And before anyone calls me out for updating this before "War On The Race Track" remember how I said I still wasn't sure which idea to use in "When Hunters Become The Prey" when I was writing the prologue? It was to the point I wrote both ideas out

That's why I'm updating this since it is already written and I'm currently working on the next chapter for WOTRT

So I guess that's everything time to jump back into this

As always I own NOTHING but the plot

Ch.2 Night 2 Part 1: Who Can You Trust?

(Where we left off)

Adorabeezle would still be by Jubileena's side as Gloyd and Taffyta would leave the junkyard.

"I think we should try and find the others…then we can set up in the junkyard with traps…" Gloyd would turn to Taffyta who'd shrug.

"Sure…but you think Vanellope killed everyone she found?" Gloyd would ponder for a moment. "Want to look around and find out?" Taffyta would nod. "Sure…let's start with Rancis…he was probably fixing his hair when Vanellope caught him…"

"Very well then…we'll start with his place…" They'd walk over to the village Taffyta growing nervous. "I doubt Vanellope just disappeared…she's out there somewhere…"

Gloyd would look at her. "She's probably in the castle…there's Oreo Guards at the gates…she's probably just resting up for tonight…"

They'd get to the front door and see it wide open. "Guess we don't need to knock…" Gloyd would joke as they'd walk inside.

"He was probably upstairs…I don't see him down here…." He'd turn to Taffyta who'd be pale as a ghost. "What's wrong Taff?" She'd point to the stairs where there'd be several dried streaks of blood on them. "I t-t-th-think h-h-he's…"

Gloyd would walk up the stairs and look at the gruesome scene infront of him. "…Holy shit…"

Taffyta would walk up and cover her mouth tears falling down her face. "I-I-I t-think I'm gonna..." She'd puke as Gloyd would slowly walk over to Rancis. "She can't hurt you anymore buddy…" He'd close his eyes and his mouth. "I doubt the others are alive…if she could kill Rancis despite her feelings for him the others did stand much of a chance…"

"Still…we should make sure…" Taffyta would wash her mouth out with water.

"If you insist…" Gloyd would shrug as they walk out.

"How did that not make you sick? His neck was sliced opened…"

Gloyd would shrug. "Sure it affected me…but I've seen so many violent horror movies with tons of gore that…well I've seen that to the point it won't make me react the way it made you…"

"I assume your not scared then?"

"I never said I'm not scared of what Vanellope might do to me…what I'm saying is those kinds of gruesome scenes don't scare me…"

"Ok…" They'd see smoke coming out of a hole. "I think I know where the others might be…"

They go to the pit and look down at the 2 charred bodies laying at the bottom of it. "Who do you think those are? They're beyond recognition…" She'd turn to Gloyd who'd be kneeling beside Snowanna's body.

"Those in the hole are Candlehead and Crumbelina…it seems they fell in…Snowanna tried to help them…she saw Vanellope coming…tried to hide but got in the heart and then Vanellope burned those 2…"

"But tonight those that died will be spawned back into the forest…Vanellope will just be waiting for them…"

"No…I doubt she will be…if she wants to enjoy this little "Game"…she'll maybe give them some time to leave the forest or find a hiding spot before going after them…it'll be those that survived she'll be after…"

"So where too now?" Taffyta would turn to him.

"Got to one of my other storage…we'll set up traps in the junkyard and set up there for the night…it's our best bet I find…"

"Ok…lead the way…"

(Meanwhile)

Torvald, Sticky, Minty and Swizzle would be walking around the village. "Girls? Can we stop soon? I'd like to rest up before tonight…" Swizzle would yawn.

"Sure…we'll head to my place…" Minty would state as Torvald would take a peek inside Rancis house. "Well…he didn't survive…"

"What do you mean?" They'd walk in and walk up the stairs and would immediately regret it the moment they'd see the gruesome scene infront of them.

They'd leave in a hurry silently as Torvald would follow. "I'd rather not sleep…that's just gonna haunt my dreams…"

They'd get to Minty's home and walk in. "You guy rest up…I want to go check a few things out…"

"Ok…but get back here before tonight…" Sticky would turn to her.

"Not making any promises…" Torvald would walk away.

(A few hours later)

A few bright sparkles would swarm over Jubileena. "Guessing that's Vanellope's doing…" Adorabeezle would mutter as Jubileena would wake. "Adorabeezle? What happened?"

"You scared the shit out of me by almost freezing to death…"

"All I remember is the heat going off and the windows opening what happened after that?"

"We lasted 4 hours and Vanellope had to let us live…"

"I highly doubt Vanellope just let you off the hook…what happened?"

"Nothing…I swear…"

"You better not be lying to me…"

"I swear we're safe…and we'll stay safe…"

(Meanwhile)

Torvald would walk towards the bridge. "Let's see what these measures you've taken…" She'd step onto the bridge when several sweet seekers would appear. "Ah…escape is impossible…"

She'd look towards the heavily guarded castle. "I assume she's resting at the moment…" She'd begin walk around and notice Gloyd and Taffyta heading for the junkyard.

"Hmm?" She'd follow them.

"You sure this is enough stuff Gloyd?" Taffyta would be curious.

"We're not fighting her…just stalling her long enough so we can get away…" He'd begin setting up when Torvald would make her presence known.

"That's actually kinda of smart Gloyd…"

They'd turn and see her leaning against a pile of destroyed karts.

"Hey Torvald…what are you up too?" Taffyta would watch Gloyd work.

"Just walking around…I suppose you both saw Rancis aswell?"

Taffyta would silently nod as Gloyd would sigh. "His final seconds weren't pleasant…"

"Definitely not…what about the others?" Torvald would cross her arms.

"Well a bullet went through Snowanna's heart…she died instantly…Crumbelina and Candlehead on the other hand…were burned beyond recognition…" Gloyd would place a few more traps.

"Yea…and do you have any idea why Vanellope is just having them respawn again?" Taffyta would turn to Torvald.

"Well the most obvious would be cause she wants to kill us over and over again…but I think there's more to it…guess if that's the case we'll be told tonight…"

"I don't like the sound of that…" Taffyta would lean against a wall of karts.

"But I'm hoping I'm wrong…cause just having to play this "Game" every night is enough hell…"

"That's for sure…" Gloyd would place the last of his traps.

(A few hours later)

The sun would begin setting as Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game. "Dead racers are respawning the game recommences in 5 minutes…"

Rancis, Snowanna, Crumbelina and Candlehead would respawn in the forest their deaths fresh in their minds as Nougetsia and Citrusella would spawn beside Jubileena and Adorabeezle.

"But theirs is a twist in this game…" Sour Bill would continue. "In the first 6 days those who die more than 3 times will be at risk…during the seventh night if they die…it'll be game over…permanently…"

The racers would gasp. "So to those respawning…I suggest you be careful…you only have 2 more lives to spare…"

"I knew there was something…" Torvald would mutter.

Jubileena would turn to Adorabeezle suspicious. "Why are these 2 here? Shouldn't they be in the forest?

"The hunt commence…"

Vanellope would walk through the unlocked door and would smile at their petrified faces. "I wanted to die together to answer your question…but I'll spare you all on 1 condition…"

"And that is?"

Vanellope would grin. "I'll be taking Adorabeezle with me for the night…and I'll be using her every night this week…"

"For what?" Adorabeezle would ask as Vanellope would take a few steps towards them. "You'll find out later…but are you coming or not?"

Adorabeezle would look at the others and sigh then turn back to Vanellope. "Fine…"

Vanellope would take her by the arm and glitch away.

"I have a bad feeling…" Jubileena would mutter.

Vanellope and Adorabeezle would be at the base of the mountain. "Mine explaining now what you want me to do?"

"Your going to help me find the others…-she'd give her a tracker-…activate that everytime you spot a racer…but if you so much as warn them…I will make sure you, your girlfriend, your sister and your girlfriend sister die…permanently…understand?"

Adorabeezle would gulp and nod.

Vanellope would grin. "Good...now go check the junkyard out…I'm going to go check the village…"

Adorabeezle would go towards the junkyard and Vanellope would glitch up the mountain again and would appear infront of Jubileena, Nougetsia and Citrusella.

"What do you need Vanellope?" Nougetsia would be nervous seeing the evil grin on Vanellope's face.

"Oh…your all about to help me in a big way…"

"How?" Citrusella would be nervous.

"I'm gonna need more than just Adorabeezle's help…I'm gonna need you 4…but I'll need your help to turn Adorabeezle…"

"What do you mean?" Jubileena would nervously back away.

"Well I doubt she'll stay on my side…so I need to convince her…"

"H-how so?"

Vanellope would draw her sword. "All you have to do is lay there and be pretty…"

(Meanwhile)

Gloyd, Taffyta and Torvald would be playing cards. "So who do you think will be found tonight?" Taffyta would look at them.

"I think she's going to go after the ones who weren't found yesterday…she'll probably want most of us to be in that life or death situation…" Torvald would look up at her.

"Makes sense…" Gloyd would take a swig from his soda can when a bear trap would be heard followed by a scream. "No way I got Vanellope…" The 3 would go to where the trap went off and would see Adorabeezle lying on the ground her leg caught in it. "WTF guys?!"

She'd roll onto her side and activate her tracker as they'd come and free her from it.

"Sorry…we didn't think you'd come here…where's Jubileena and Nougetsia?"

"Vanellope trapped us at my place…she turned off the heat and opened every window and waited for us to come out…in the last 5 minutes she shot and killed Nougetsia who peeked out of a window…and Jubileena froze to death in the final 3 minutes…"

"Oh…we didn't know…sorry…"

"It's alright guys…" She'd stand up.

Vanellope would be notified that Adorabeezle's tracker is on. "Good she's found some…-she'd turn to slowly dying Jubileena-…we'll be back very soon…just keep breathing…" She'd glitch away.

She'd appear at the entrance to the Junkyard and would immediately be spotted by the 4. "Shit she's here run!"

They'd take off and Vanellope would chase behind them glitching to close the gap between herself and them.

They'd turn a corner when Vanellope would throw a discarded Cherry Bomb into a pile of karts that would topple and fall infront of the fleeing racers.

"W-what do we do now?" Taffyta would back into the wall as Gloyd would pull a large pipe out from one of the karts. "You 3 climb over the wreckage I"ll hold her off…"

He'd take a few steps forward. "But Gloyd she'll kill you." Taffyta would try to talk him out of it.

"Just go!" He'd point behind them as Torvald would pull Taffyta by the arm and they'd start climbing over as Adorabeezle would stand silently as Vanellope would draw her sword.

"Finally…something exciting…" She'd rush and attack him but Gloyd would block her strikes as he'd reach and grab her gun.

"No you don't!" She'd kick away and it would slide to Adorabeezle"s feet as Gloyd would take the offensive and push Vanellope back who'd look at Adorabeezle and grin.

"Common Winterpop…you know what to do…"

Adorabeezle would silently pick up the gun.

"Adorabeezle take the shot! Then we won't have to play this game any longer!" Gloyd wouldn't notice she'd be aiming at him.

Vanellope would grin. "But Gloyd…she's on my side…." Gloyd would turn to her Adorabeezle who'd fire a shot that would hit him in the chest.

He'd stumble backwards and Vanellope would drive her sword through the middle of his chest and twist it.

"You fought hard Gloyd…I'll give you that…" She'd pull her sword out and he'd collapse dead to the ground.

Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game. "Gloyd down…13 remain…"

Adorabeezle's phone would vibrate and she'd look at it. "Jubileena's in trouble!"

Vanellope would grab her arm and glitch them there as Adorabeezle would see both Nougetsia and Citrusella laying dead on the ground while Jubileena would be coughing up blood with a large stab wound in her stomach.

"What happened?!" She'd rush to Jubileena's side.

"I-I-It w-w-was…-she'd see Vanellope pointing her sword at Adorabeezle-…the others…then found out what you were doing and came here looking for you...they thought we were hiding you…" She'd fall completely limp as her eyes would close.

"No…" Adorabeezle would look down as Vanellope would stand up.

"The others aren't too fond of your actions…"

"H-how did they find out?"

"I don't know…but are you really going to let this go unpunished?"

"No…"

"Are you going to get revenge by helping me get them all?"

"Yes…"

"Well then Winterpop…let's go…"

She'd help her to her feet and they'd go back out on the hunt.

End Ch.2

It's short I know

But there'll be more in the next chapter
