Chapter five

"We are all fucked!"

The silence after the last statement she made was Eeie enough to rise chills in the room as all snapped their head at her direction, Keaton watched cocking an eyebrow at the reaction she had, April had tears building up threatening to rain down a river.

"What do you mean we are fucked?" Tristan snapped stretched his legs wide out to expose a scared thigh, He winced at the motion looking back at the April, she looked up at him like he asked an unbelievable question.

"How are we not fucked no just freaking tell me, if it's anything like I've seen, Murders with masks on cutting your guts open, The floor is lava only this time the floor is actually lava!, riddles with twisted endings, land mines"

April went off ranting in anger which was met with a fit of silence as everyone took in the information, " I'm my fucking God we are gonna die aren't we?" Dylan murmured looking down, his eyes met with Audrey who had tears weld up,

Myra get a straight face despite the fact that a heart was a beats and erratically, I can't be thrown back into this, a life of guns and weapons, blood and death, taking a deep sigh, This could all be a prank she hoped to her self as she fiddled with the screws on her cuffs.

" I'm a bit vague because I never follow the series it was too scary the killings were..." April took a pause as realization finally dawned on her that she watched a real life mass murder of people who had no idea how they get in the game just day to day humans forced to live in the terror she was doomed to face soon.

Leigh watched the room pressure get immense with ever word April uttered, she was worst than Dylan himself she thought to her self.

" The..the.. the killings were what April" Dylan was calm for the first time since he was conscious as he stuttered feeling goosebumps all over his pale white skin, April body shook violently you could tell she was crying without trying.

"The kiilngs were too real, the pleas it was too gory and real, Most people thought it was good acting my suspicions about the game died when I received life threats and all so I backed down"

April was mostly talking to herself, feeling the fast rinsing and falling of her breaths and a pounding headache, She looked up at Dylan who looked terrified beyond explain like he had seen a ghost

" IF this is a sick prank they can call it off you got really good we are about shitting our pants here and it stooped being funny" Dylan called out to an empty room,

"I don't think it's a prank, if it was no one would take it this seriously as who would want to prank total strangers, we will all be dead by the end of the game anyways according to April"

Audrey's voice ended in a light whisper, " Can you all try optimism, have hope or something rather than give up before we even try, I mean we could survive? " Leigh responded irritated at the bad energy she was getting from the silent crowd,

April snapped her head up at her , "Yeah you haven't even made it past stage one last I checked we are supposed to be out of this by now, we never see this part of the game, we just see them start I guess what made it unrealistic was the superpowers no one had ever really ever gotten the hang of them"

Myra's question came next at April's remark, " What do you mean powers?, like super strength or what I'm confused?" Myra felt a bit of the fear she temporarily felt ease away as the storyline was becoming less and less of anything to make sense of NY the minute.

April shrugged" Yeah I don't know, it was all too fictional not all of them had powers but a bunch of the did, they would had fits of rage and ..."

April was distracted by a burst of laughter from Tristan, " God girl for a minute you had us scared no you are just borderline insane or delusional" He mocked as April glared at him with disgust

"I won't say anything anymore"

April's reply came as a snide remark, leaning back to control her breathing her anger surge at the pity look she was getting no one was believing her, including Dylan whoo looked a bit more relieved.

She was saying the truth, "I don't think she delusional I just think she bored " Audrey replied pissed at the story she was forced to believe, she was about to make a comment when the room fell back to a rhythm of silence, as they all heard cuffs hit the floor and a voice as she stood up,

"Finally shit hurts like hell to be tied down in a position especially when it's not sexual"

Myra said out loud to her self as she finally got out of the cuffs that bounded her to the floor, she had been quite all this while as she picked at the screws on lock she looked down at her red and pulsing wrist rubbing onto them to sooth the pain, standing up she felt her knee buckle from sitting for too long grabbing unto the wall as she stopped midway to her fall.

"How did you?" Keaton finally saw something that made him break his silence, as he watched as Myra held until the wall, she was quiet her legs were visibly shaking but reducing with every time she spent on her spot, looking back up at the prying eyes.

"It's handcuffs survival skills 101" Myra shurgged falling back to the floor, she sat back to the floor with a sigh of relief Poppin her bones in satisfaction to looses some sore muscles ,

"No it's not, you don't get out of handcuffs except you are a criminal or a cop are you either?"

Tristan sneered at Myra's mockery, "I'm not a criminal nor a cop but I honestly want you dead, You know for a boy you talk too much, and you scream to much" She sneered back directing the last statement to Dylan who glared back,

Myra felt free she had been too focused on escaping she had no time to talk and insult now she free ,

"This is not the time to do this" Leigh watched them act like kids, "not when our life's is on the line on an uncertainty, we should..." Leigh's heart felt speech was interrupted by Josh starring awake, getting up they noticed he wasn't tied down, he only just sat down like the rest of them

"April" He called out as he got up to his feet crouching next to his girlfriend who stared back at him awe, "You weren't cuffed down" Tristan pointed out, he ignored the boy's comment looking round April to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"Josh I'm fine my hands are just bruised" April leaned into his touch with a small smile, she nodded towards the back making him finally turn back at the confused looks he was getting.

"oh Yeah I wasn't, they thought I was dead, I had a cardiac arrest so they probably left me for dead we are all going to die anyways so nothing special" Josh said with a shrug sitting next to April the sharp pain from his lower abdomen was getting unbearable, she leaned against him.

"You are also delusional I can tell" Leigh sneered at him, he ignored her gesture, as, Josh eyes scanned the room at the faces he noticed Myra was also loosed, which was a surprise.

"We're you left for dead or" She looked up at him, "I can get out of a cuff, it's easy, does anyone have an hair pin or something like a needle?" Myra threw the question to the group awake as she ignore the ret who broke down into whispers as they talked

" If you can reach it I have one in my pocket " Audrey spoke up nodding towards Myra,

" What do you need it for" Leigh asked,

Keaton watched the redhead look with calculating eyes,

"I'm going to try to free everyone that way we can get past stage one" Audrey straightened up at Myra with a bit of home even just a glimmer she was more than grateful to have a pin that has done nothing but poke her uncomfortably this past hours deem to be use ful

She nodded pushing herself off the wall, "You can do that" Tristan asked with disbelief as Myra strolled across the room, she squatted next to Audrey who moved to the side to allow with the smooth running.

Feeling her finee graced the pin she growled in anger as she picked a bit further Audrey squirmed in her position, "You need to e calm for me to be able to reach" Myra spoke softly as she watched call down the whole room watched with prying eyes.

"Got it!" She hissed moving down to try and loosen out Audry out of her cuff...
