The elevator ascends and inside were each of the teams as they were being taken to the venue of the next game. Twisting her wrist in a circular motion, Minerva can hear the soft cracking sounds of her joint. She must have strained it. She looked up and glance at Zayden when from her peripheral vision, she can clearly tell he is staring at her curiously.
Sighing, she looked at him straight and said, “We may be your new group but we will protect you as much as we protect each other.”
“I know. I would have never joined your group if I had doubts.”
The shaking of the platform intensified and it rolled Draco almost to the edge. Tradd walked closer to him and without batting an eyelid, he kicks him off of the platform, sending him down to the hungry, awaiting snakes. The animal which is the same kind as him. His screams of terror can be heard as the large snake slithers up his body, encasing him whole, crushing his bones. “Draco!” Olga screamed his name. Soon, he was reduced to nothing, but a delicious meal for the snakes. Olga’s panicked voice broke as she cried, realizing there was
The bridge lifted again, connecting the platforms and enabling the winning team to cross. Blaize caught up with Andrik who was walking a few steps ahead and threw his arm around him. “Big brain!” He grinned, referring to how Andrik was able to figure out the way to complete the game despite the ordeal they were in. Andrik removed his arm and gave him a pointed look of annoyance. He ignored him and went to Yekaterina to check on her.
Andrik had cuts in several parts of his body. His arms, on the side of his stomach and on his back. She cleaned all of those and covered it with a bandage to keep it from getting infected. She’s almost done when she noticed Tradd stood up and started walking in a limping manner. Her eyebrows furrowed and presumed he must have had a wound on his knee or anywhere on his leg. After a few steps, he walked back towards the bed and sat down again with a dramatically pained groan. She finished up tending to Andrik’s wounds and turned t
It was still early in the morning when the players were once again disturbed by the loud, robotic voice of an announcement coming from the speakers somewhere around the whole place, instructing them to gather in main hall. There weren't any games scheduled today so it's kind of odd that have to gather. It didn't take long for the players to be all in the same place, waiting for the information that might change their lives for the better or maybe for the worst. A large, clear bowl jar is placed on top of tall round table in the middle of the stage. Inside it were small plastic balls of different colors. Behind, is the digital screen that shows nothing as of the moment. But soon enough, the s
Back into the main hall, Zayden had just drawn a ball. His expression lights up in excitement the moment he read what was written inside it. ‘Privilege to Swap Leaders.” His gaze immediately went to where Yekaterina was but he didn’t see her there. However, that didn’t diminish his excitement. He has the power to swap Yekaterina and Minerva. He can have her as his leader again, and this time without Andrik lurking around. Maybe this is his chance to get her to like him. He closes the ball and grips it tightly, a smir
Surrounded by darkness with the blindfold covering her eyes, Yekaterina have no idea where she is. It’s not just her actually, but all the other players. They were transported here for what she assumed via a van for hours, blindfold intact and hands and feet cuffed. Once they arrived, the bind on their feet were removed and they were all guided to walk for a short while and all she can feel is the soft, mossy grass on her feet that almost reach half her caves for how long it is. Like it hasn’t been mowed for almost a year. Her i
The small room looks like a maid’s chamber. Yekaterina turned back around and went out of the room. With the bright lit candle, Yekaterina goes back outside and Blaize walked to the staircase leading to the third floor. “I think these arrows are all over the whole length of the staircase handrail.” Blaize said after he was done examining the handrails and made a conclusion. “So, these are just mere designs or decorations for the staircase handrails? Since there were none anywhere else, it means it doesn’t really lead to anywhere either.” Tradd said.
Up at the fifth floor, the laser beams are more prevalent and it’s getting more arduous to evade those. Minerva is starting to feel like the whole game is inside a box with only a very tiny, unnoticeable hole somewhere where they can get out. It’s like a huge puzzle with almost none clue at all. It’s a never-ending cycle of searching for the way out. Minerva’s heart skips a beat when Zayden almost steps on a laser on the floor. Fortunately, BGN2 pulled him back in time when the laser beams appeared so close to him. &l
