"Come on, Isabel. We need to go." Ethan said as he grabbed her by the hand.

"Ethan, where are we going to go and what do you have in mind?" She asked as they went back inside. He picked up a few things which includes his wrist watch, a pen, cellphone, jotter...

"We have to walk around the arena area and see what we could find. Maybe ask a few questions to get to know how the inside looks like before the day runs out. We have to strategize on how to lengthen the duration of our survival so that we could figure out how to get through that hidden tunnel. Trust me, when we get in there, we may not be able to think about opening that padlock if we aren't prepared to keep our fears under control and quit panicking." Ethan gave a protracted and hasty utterance whilst he was getting himself ready and the moment he was done talking, he turned to her and said, "you are going to be alright. Let's go."

"Ethan, I am scared. You do not understand what am trying to say, I am not ready to go in th

    "You should." Ethan said with a low tone of voice, though he was not in the mood to say anything to the taxi driver because he quite understood the taxi drivers reason for not going to the arena to be part of what is going on there. "Hey, you two should take care of yourself. You still have enough time between today and tomorrow to enjoy yourselves before you kiss life goodbye. I am Nathan Sparrow by name. It was a pleasure serving you guys. We'll meet in afterlife." The driver uttered hastily as they were on their way out of his taxi. Ethan looked at him for a moment and tapped him on his shoulder with his right hand, reiterating,"You should be there tomorrow, Nathan Sparrow. No goodbyes, alright." Ethan said with a spark of hope in his eyes before he left with Isabel. "Don't let what he said get into your head, Ethan. I stopped listening to him because I knew he was going to make us feel like we are unlucky." Isabel finally spoke as they left the road, heading into a narrow pass

    "Alright Silvester, look, we do not have any plan to survive in there when we get in all we want is to know how to survive much longer than the rest of them who has gone in there. We wish to know how the interior looks like and just maybe we can find a way to carry out what we have in mind before our time elapses. So if you are expecting me to describe what I need exactly I am sorry I do not have that answer right now. All I'm expecting from you is to tell me what you have seen and describe exactly how the interior of that arena looks like." Gasps* Ethan finished and listened carefully as Silvester began to give him the description of how the place looks like. After taking for about six minutes with convincing information, Ethan asked, "Can you tell the distance the maze is from the arena ground? And is there any demarcating line between them?" "It is very difficult to figure that out because we are viewing from outside the arena and you know that before one gets to approach the line

    "Hey come on, you did not have to keep getting mad at that simple act of kindness, I know he needed the money that is why I give it to him. You know he was anything mad at me for interrupting his game, and so it was obvious that he was losing I got to give him the money, which was the more reason why I chose him to be the one to give us something from what he's got from his observations. Please see it this way that we helped that guy out there to get back at his game and also have an opportunity to survive; you can't tell, he may need the money now more than we do." Ethan spoke softly patting her on her shoulders to pacify her."Alright." Isabel said and threw her face away accepting to agree with him for giving Silvester the money she felt would serve a great deal for the both of them because at the moment she was not thinking she may not survive when I get into the arena. She kept thinking about seeing her mom again instead and the hopes of her getting to see her mom beclouded her fe

    "Oh you think I am mad now or overreacting for no reason? This calls for overreaction, Terra. Don't you even try to make it sound like you are not pissing me off to make me go bananas with such question. You did made me angry and I don't like it! It is not our money, Terra! You can't eat or spend money can you? Unless you want to cheat me by taking it back after I have completed your tasks. You owe me and you should know that the money in my account is you paying me and hence it belongs to me. You should keep off, Terra!" He ranted staring at the mirror in front of him with his hands on the washbasin attached to the wall. Terranova: "I may not be able to spend the money with you or even eat but whatever you do you should know that I feel it. I feel everything. I could sense the taste of the meal in your mouth, feel your rage, your jealousy, pain, love, I mean, why do you think I know almost everything when it has to do with how you feel? I knew you do not have feelings of love for Is

    "No, not at all. I think it is because there are no cameras inside the arena of death that is to display anything for people who are out here in D.C. United. They might have one for themselves up there in the capitol hill. You never can tell." She uttered showing no doubts at all. "True. We can not even rely on that anyway but it is fine. I think we should forget about all these and have fun you know. Besides we have no idea what tomorrow may bring, so let us better have ourselves a good time now. So, what have you ordered?" Ethan said forcing a smile as he inquired of her to know what she had asked the waitress to bring to the table while he was away. After eating they kept talking about their experiences of the past until the music began to play and the people around got up on their feet to dance, "...I won't forget that very day in a hurry, it was such a marvelous thing I did and my dad was so proud of me he took me out for a horse ride. I wish to do that again, go out for a rid

    "Are you going to take a shower or just go straight to bed?" Ethan asked as they entered the house. "I will have my bath first." She replied. The moment she was done relying him after taking off her shoes, she walked into the bathroom sluggishly he could sense she has lost her vibes, though he felt she was feeling less energetic because he had not replied her or it could be that she was sad he did not love her as much as he affirms to love Madison. For a second, the thoughts crossed his mind, ... Terranova was right about her feelings for me. Terra must have been right about me not paying attention to Isabel. Gosh, what if she does not make it out alive tomorrow? At least I should show her some affection to fill up the void, besides she has not made mention of any guy in her life to me. She must have been deprived of having someone love her that closely and she has been kind to me... Ethan pondered with both hands on his waist while standing on his feet in the midst of the sofa chai

    "Ummm, I'm sorry for asking, I knew you won't be because the water is warm," he said and was quiet for a minute then immediately spoke up when he felt his thigh touch the delicate skin of her lap, "Isabel, you know what I really want right now?""No. What do you want?" She replied with a breaking voice as she turned to look at him, hoping to have him engage her in a conversation. "I want to hug you, Isabel." He said with an affectionately tensed voice she knew he was also desiring her but could not make the move all these while. A smile glimmed across her face before she said with a happy tone, "Me too." After she said that, the bathroom creeped into silence as they both had their eyes shimmering with affectionate bond for each other whilst they stared right into each others eyes. Ethan lifted his left hand and crossed it over her shoulders then pulled her into his arms with his right hand wrapping her entire body into his. She covered her face in his right collar bone the moment he

    "Ummm, no, I mean, yeah. I thought you would not want that." He half stuttered with a thoughtful stare as he nudged his forehead with the fingers of his right hand. "Why would I not want that? Except you're not comfortable with it then it is okay. I do not want to force you to do what you are not ready to do." She said and was about turning to face the opposite direction but he stopped her immediately, and placing his hands on her shoulders, he said, "I already talked to whatsoever will make you happy. And besides I really want to cuddle you. So could you please stop acting like you do not know that I feel the same way as you do." Ethan said, taking a deep breath before moving his hands upwards to her neck region, "I know you are a virgin and I do not want to do anything that will undo that, but does that stop me from kissing you? Have you even kissed anyone?" He asked inquisitively. "No I have not." She said slowly in what seems to be a whisper as her eyes dimmed because he had hi

    "And why should we believe you?!" Someone screamed Madison looked at Loretta, and then at Kim but Loretta spoke immediately to support her before anyone else standing by her "You should believe her. She is telling the truth. I have seen it and I am part of the few who are not in agreement with the killing though we have to accept our fate of alignment in order not to be silenced. You know the punishment of not abiding by the rules here in the capitol hill? Ours is even worse." Lorette stressed. "And I happen to be a part of those who are not in support but I have to go by authority and play by the rules. Thanks to a survivor in the midst of it all, his name is Ethan and he is standing right here with us all. You may have heard of him or you may not have. I wish to give him the chance to tell us more about what is going on. Ethan please." Kim added and stepped back with gestures to get Ethan to speak. Ethan spoke convincingly and after he was done, almost all the members of the amit

    "Nothing is going to happen to him. The beasts won't go into the restaurant, I do not believe they will. Your family are survivors that is one thing I believe. You are a survivor and I will try my best to be quick so that they will not send you in until all this is done. Besides, there was an exemption on your case. They said you are going to be placed in position as the manager, remember?""With the way things are going down here, I do not think it will be considered anymore. There has been a change of plan ever since you were away. Dr Muppet didn't tell you he is now capable of being shortlisted as a candidate for the game? There is no exemption anymore. The announcement was made a few days ago." "Hmm, alright let us take that as a means of doing everything we have to do quick. Trust me, I have this believe that we are both going to find ourselves together again. Please, Isabell, let us go in. And please be with me in heart. Heart to heart, Isabell. Alright?"

    "You have to stop, Isabell, whatever you are trying to do, you just have to stop. I am not like the factions, Madison is not like...." Ethan took a deep breath and exhaled, then he said calmly as he placed his hands on her arms "Madison is not like the factions. I know you do not like hearing her name but she is not what you think she is. She is not like her father. There are a lot of them like her in the capitol hill. Many are not even aware of what is going on in D.C. United here. You should not turn your back now. Madison is not even doing any of this because she loves me or have an attraction for me. She is fighting for a greater good, which is to have the killing come to an end and I have seen it in her eyes and all over her that she is desperate to stand against her father and to bring justice to the people. I know you are doing all these because you love me and want me to be yours. But as much as she may act this way, she is not. Put yourself in her shoes and understand. She sh

    Isabell raised her hand immediately in a way that made Madison clear her throat and was like "okay, who else is willing to come in with her?""I will." Arnold said lifting his hand. "No, not you Arnold. I don't need you to come now. I know why. Max, Greg? Which one of you is willing to come in?" Ethan asked thoughtfully and it was obvious that he does not want to lose Arnold as he has done his friend Parker. "I will go." Max said before Greg could. "Very well then. We have Isabell and Max." Ethan said. Ethan wanted to stop Isabell but he felt it was going to be pointless and he was not also ready for another long hour of conflict and attempts to convince her to accept his apologies. He knew Isabell to be a die hard and incapable of listening when her mind is made up in whatever she has in view, despite the fact that she was obedient to him on several occasions."Okay, that will be enough at the moment. Your assignment, you and Max will be simple. Whatever we discuss and whatever ne

    Madison whispering, said to Ethan, "who is she exactly?" "She is my friend. Why?" Ethan said with a guilty stare. "C'mon Ethan, don't play around. I know what I am asking you and am sure you know as well. Tell me, are you two in any relationship because she loves you from what I see and she is jealous that I am here. This is not going to work out if we are not all focused on one thing." "It is complicated, Madison. Trust me, I can not start talking about it for now. I promise to let you know what is going on sooner. For now, just bear with me and try not to take whatever she says or does into heart. I can't lie to you that I like her a lot but I am not just sure of what to say right now. It is my fault and you can count me as one to be blamed but not her. Please, alright?" Ethan muttered quietly while glancing at Isabell who stood with arms folded at a distance watching him talk with Madison. Madison was quiet for a minute before saying "you had better figure it out.

    "Alright, I will let my friends know that you are going to help us in this way. I believe it is for the best. Lysbia is going to need a balance again in society and I believe together it is going to be done by us." Ethan finished and they both continued moving. "Wow, this place exists?" Madison exclaimed when they entered Dr Muppet Puppet's room. "Yes, it does." Ethan said and kept looking around.."So many books in this library." Madison said looking very much amazed at the sight of Dr Muppet Puppet's books "Yes, it does. Don't touch anything. Dr Muppet!" Ethan instructed her and then called out with a loud voice. There seems to be no one in here. So he turned and said to Madison, "stay in this room, I will be right back." Ethan left through the front door and shut it on his way out. He first hurried to the house he bought when he was about leaving D.C united. When the taxi driver pulled in front of his house and he stepped out anticipating to see Isabell, the system spoke,Terr

You died but you can not die so long as I am in you. Which is why you should rather call it static mood because that is what it is from now on." "Whatever mood it is, please do not do it again. Do you know how hurt I feel in my head?" Terranova: "I can't tell, though I think it is for the best. You are only feeling dizzy I believe." "This isn't a feeling of dizziness. I know what it feels like when I am dizzy. Hello, Madison." Ethan said as he turned his neck around to see Madison standing like she's frozen. "Why are you frightened?""Excuse me? Why am I frightened?! Damn Ethan, you just came from the dead! No one does that! At least not anyone I have known except Jesus Christ. You don't expect me to be cool, do you? Damnit!

    "Well I was in The laboratory not quite long ago and he walked in and spoken your manner that's made me suggest that you have given him a higher authority than myself. Why should I tell him that I am to deliver an the report of Ethan's test to you myself but still he insisted that he was the one to deliver it and with every amount of Allah creating in his gut!" Madison sputtered with raging eyes. "Well I asked him to be sure he gets it directly to me I never knew you were going to be there." "I suppose he had already told you that I was at the lab when he arrived? Didn't he?" Madison asked. "Well he never did he did not tell me anything about your presence there. And if he had done what should that matter to me? All I needed was this test here. And it appears that we might be in more trouble from what is written here about that young man. Have you looked at what the test says about Ethan Hills?" "Of course I have. And I do not think you should be threatened by it. Whatever it sugg

    "He does not only show signs of an Amity he is also executing potentials of a parrhesia-dauntless. I think this guy is underestimated and he has so much potentials than anyone of Us. Do you buy enemies know who he is before now?" Kim asked with eyes on Madison. "No." She denied. And shifted her gaze from Kim to Ethan who was lying with his eyes still close. "I thought you have an idea who he is before now and if you don't why are you so interested in him?" Kim asked again. "Why should I not be interested when my father is also so much interested in him? I believe whoever my dad has his eyes on is someone worth paying attention to that is why I am here." Madison muttered as she touched Ethan's hands without even realizing she was doing it. Kim looked at her and sensed she was lying about not knowing him. "I see! You have justified yourself for being so interested in him. But forgive me to ask do you even know his name?" "Ethan. His name is Ethan Hills." Madison replied with a low
