Belle's POV
______________
Three days.
Thats how long I've been in custody. They asked me a whole bunch of questions and I told them everything I could.
Apart from anything involving the game that is.
I had to say I was on a date with him right before he attacked me telling me he was the carver.
Well.. that's the summary of it atleast.
I got off with murder under the basis of 'self defense'. I've also been told that Bev was taken to a hospital where she once in a while regains consciousness for some hours daily, but the doctors say she'll live...
I haven't seen her anyway.... I probably will after I get out of this place that is...
The door creaked open as I watched mum walk in, an officer behind her.
"Mum?!", I jumped out of my seat running towards her. We hugged.. I didn't want to let go, but somehow I knew she might end up being in danger because of me.
"oh.... Annabelle!", she squeezed me tightly, "I tried to see you for three days now!... Even when you were in the hospital! "
Yeah.... Trevor gave me that cut on my leg, but even when I was taken to have it bandaged up, the police never left the ward door and I was asked a whole lot of questions.
On leaving the station, the first place we went to was the hospital. They said Bev had been moved out of the emergency ward a day ago.
Seeing her all bandaged up made my throat tighten. She was so strong....
If she hadn't come that night, I'd probably be dead by now.
I knelt down beside her placing my hand above hers. "Thanks Bev, you're my hero..". I tried to smile.
She opened her eyes slightly and I felt my heart stop for a moment as she smiled. "You're such a baby..", she whispered.
I cried a bit squeezing her fingers. "Shut up, you're so reckless"
"I thought you said... I was your hero?"
My eyes widened a bit, "You were awake all this time?!", I wanted to throw her out the window now.
She chuckled a bit. "Maybe... Maybe not", she closed her eyes. "Belle.."
Her voice was so calm it scared me.
"Yeah..?"
"The doctors say... I might never be able to use my left hand again", she opened her eyes. "But who needs a stupid left hand, right?", She smiled like everything was gonna be okay...
But I knew it wasn't.
I sat silently till she fell asleep once more. How should I even react?
The ride home was a silent one, I was still trying to think of the most logic thing to do.
Mum cleared her throat, "So.... Beverly left you something after you left home that day"
"What?"
She didn't reply but tried to smile reassuringly.
When we got home, I rushed up to my room.
What had Bev gotten me?
It was a phone.
I smiled while unwrapping the package. I didn't have a phone before Trevor attacked, but players might still keep attacking me.
Immediately the phone came on, I saw that the lockscreen had a picture of the three of us... The home screen was just the two of us without Laura.
"Howdy!"
I almost tossed the phone out. The app has opened by itself... How was it even downloaded?
"Check your scoreboard, Belle!", The mascot waved.
I didn't wanna.
I tried switching the phone off, but it didn't work.
"Hhhhh!", I sighed before checking the scoreboard. I even had a lot of messages for some reason!
I was somehow number two on the list. Uh oh... My real name!
Turned out for killing two players, I claimed their points. 505 points... One point makes $1000 dollars.
"Oh my god!", I didn't want or need that amount of illegal money in my account!
If the cops found out...
Number one had 718 points, a player named butch.... Probably for butcher. I didn't even want to know how many people he'd killed to get that.
The third was someone named fairy. I really wondered what that person used to kill. Most people made their names a reference to their weapon.
For my messages... Most were threats to watch out and that death was close to me.
"Shi*!", My heart stopped for a moment.
It was the butch guy!...
#Butch: Hey!.. let's be friends?
I wasn't crazy enough to even reply but his next message made me wanna cry.
#Butch: I know where you live, where your school is, and what you look like. Cute mum by the way...
There was a devil faced emojie behind to cap it up. I had to reply.
#Belle: Why?... So you can steal my points?
He was online... And typing.
#Butch: I'll protect you. Be my girlfriend.
Was he crazy?!! Atleast... I wasn't stupid enough to ask.
#Belle: .....
#Butch: I'll see you in school tomorrow, babe.
My eyes widened a bit, how many of these idiots went to the same school as me? I mean.... Oakbay was a small town, but....
#Belle: What class are you in?
#Butch: Your class. Goodnight.
Seems he didn't want any more questions.
Tomorrow... One of my classmates might walk up and kiss me.
That night, I cried my heart out. My life was getting worse each day.
But finally... I found sleep atop my soaked pillow.
_________________
THE NEXT DAY..
I felt stiff in my seat quietly waiting for Butch to kill me. The police confiscated the gun which I claimed was in Trevor's back pocket.
But this morning... I had a new hoe, gun and knife delivered to me.
It was already lunch time, but I couldn't even get up. I'd tried looking for who would spare me a glance, but everyone acted how they usually do.
Apart from Bev and Laura, I've never really had any other friends...
After some long waiting, the bell rang once more and the students slowly came pouring back in.
The teacher was late...
It was about ten minutes later she stepped in. "We have new students.."
My eyes widened. Students?!
Don't tell me Butch was one of the transfered students?!
The whole class watched as a pair of identical twins walked in.
"Hey.."
"Yo!"
They said simultaneously. I waited as they introduced themselves as Pete and Peter, even their accented voices were identical...
Neither of them looked at me or acted suspicious. But the only free seats were behind and beside me.
In conclusion, Butch is sitting right next to me.
Keep reading!!
Belle's P.O.V____________After school, Mrs Figgle asked me to show the twins around the school since they both sat next to me."But-", I abruptly got up slamming my fists on my desk."Ahhhh!.. no buts!", She waved her index finger in the air as most of the students had began to file out of the class."Anything wrong?", Pete asked, Peter was beside him.To me.... This was just another nightmare."Nothing boys, Belle is going to show you around before everywhere gets locked up", her eyes narrow at me. "Aren't you?"I didn't reply as Mrs Figgle left alongside the last set of students."So...", I turned to them trying to keep a straight face. Showing signs of weakness would be dangerous as I was all by myself. "I have something to do at home...". I'd managed a wave before turning to leave.&n
Belle’s P.O.V____________I tried.. but couldn't seem to fully hide the shocked look on my face as Pete walked up to sit at my left."Actually... We find you as quite an interesting person..", Pete looked to her. "We would like to form a pact with you"She opened her mouth... But the words won't come out.Peter cleared his throat, "When you form an official pact on the game, you're not allowed to kill each other"My eyes brightened up a little…. Was it hope? But could I even trust them?"We'll also answer whatever question you have, and can get the body parts you need..", Peter smiled warmly.I gasped a little. It sounded too good to be true, I didn't know a lot about the game... but could I ever join forces with murders?
TWO MONTHS AGO°°°°°°°°°°°°°Laura's P.O.V_______________"Psst!", I leaned over to whisper to Belle who was quietly seated in front of me. The mood of the whole class was getting too dull for my liking.We had English now and the teacher was absent, so Mrs Figgle just sat down trying to stay awake.'Freakin' Hilarious!!'Belle sighed, "what is it?"She caught the look on my face as I tried to hold back my laughter. "Check my Instagram..", I whispered looking around the class."We're in class, I can't bring out my phone"Why was she acting like she was a saint?I rolled my eyes sarcastically."Arrghh!... Okay look".
Belle’s P.O.V____________It had already been almost a week since the 'bitch' brothers gave me that impossible choice to make.My hands were really tied. I wish I could talk to Bev about it before making a decision, but I couldn’t…They hardly ever talked to me after that day... Except as normal classmates.And everyone else seemed to like them... A little too much...Tomorrow was the beginning of the weekend, and I wasn't really sure my period of grace would be extended after Monday.I sighed before looking towards the entrance to the hallway up ahead. School was already over."Hey!.. Belle!", Peter called out from a distance behind me. I was glad we didn't live in the same direction, so we never had to walk home together.
Belle's P.O.V___________I punched Lisa in the face, shoving her off me.It was like this fresh dose of strength was seeping through my veins as I gripped her by the throat.... Harder... harder...Till she's lost consciousness. Everyone was staring as I looked to my hands.... Blood stained.Quickly sitting up in my bed, I placed a hand on my chest to calm the fast beating of my heart.The room was almost too dark to see anything.But I knew the smell of a hospital even with my eyes closed.There was a low snore coming from beside me."Mum?"Mum quickly jumped out of her short sleep, "Belle?", She tried to touch my face."Owww""Belle!", She cried out w
This is just a filler chapter with no link whatsoever to the story, so you can skip it. ____________ Dev: The story of Beverly's biggest fan! ___________ Beverly had regained consciousness once more. But there was a creep lying beside her on the bed! Bev: Who the hell are you? Davin: it's me, Davin. *He whispered* Davin was Bev's Ex- Bev: How did you get in here?... I'll call the nurses! *She archs a brow in the darkness* Davin: I just told the writer to put me into the book. *Waves at the writer*. Nice job. Writer: *gives him a thumbs up like a god* Bev: You're crazy!... That's why we broke up! Davin: But you loved me that way. Bev: *sighs* Look, we are not... Having this conversation right now!
Belle's P.O.V____________I sluggishly sat up in my bed as the sunlight pierced through my weak eyes lids. "Arghh!... Who opened th-", I trailed off on noticing two tall figures standing beside my bed.It was the twins.....They both had deep frowns on their faces, but my frown seemed to overpower theirs. "How long have you been here", my eyes narrowed in disgust at the thought of them watching me in my sleep.My face didn't hurt that much after a goodnight rest.Peter sat down beside me, "twenty minutes max", he tried to hold my hand in comfort but I rudely tugged it away.Pete sighed, "who was it?""Who was what?". I didn't want to get in trouble if they attempted to kill Lisa!"Don't play dumb, we won't kill him or her depending on your an
Belle's P.O.V°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I was discharged from the hospital on Sunday morning. The twins also stayed over till Saturday night... After I agreed to their little charade.I just discovered mum was seeing Bev's father!!... That's messed up!But if Bev heard it, I guess she'll be pretty happy.Today was Monday, and I had a bad feeling about how the rest of the week was gonna be."I need y'all to split up into groups of threes", Mrs Figgle sniffled before turning to write something on the board.Before I had time to move to another place, the twins had their seats beside and in front of me. And my left side was a wall.They both had evil grins on their faces, so I knew I was about to regret making that deal with them.Mrs Figgle said she wante
