Well isn't that thrilling.

“We checked the body and discovered the reason for her death was drowning,” Felicia reveals, passing around a copy of the report.

I took a glance at the report, “she had water in her lungs, and how does one drown when there are no swimming pools?” I ask.

“The sink, they could have filled it up with water, I suppose,” Someone answers.

“Correct,” Felicia reveals, “the injuries she sustained must have been while struggling to get her head out of the sink, I'm guessing it's because she tried to grab on to the edges of the sink.”

“That'll make sense, except what bathroom though?” Another asked.

“Excellent question, we've been running some investigation on all the sinks, in search of a clue but to our surprise the sink we found was at the boys locker room.”

“What? That makes no sense why would she go there?” Zane yells, for once I'd have to agree with him though.

“We're not sure, dead people tell no tales,” she jokes, although everyone found it rather disturb

    “Someone must have woken up shortly after her, seen what she was up to, killed her and made it seem like they were the murderer,” Austin says. “Well I guess that changes everything,” I proceed to leave my seat when my path is suddenly blocked by two arms. They didn't look so pleased with seeing me leave. “For now, but you're staying here, and so will the rest of you, the case is merely beginning.”Ugh! This is tiring. I slam the door shut behind me, barely able to remain standing, I crash unto my bed and take a deep breath. I hear the door open and close once again, Ethan walks in, his face staring down at me as he laughs. “Boy, you look like a walking corpse,” he says. Geez, thanks for the reminder. “Of course I do, they kept on interrogating me for hours, I didn't even get to eat dinner,” I tell him. “Sorry about that, but you know what they say, you can't be too careful.”I know he's trying to help but I'm certainly not liking what I hear. Sitting upright I can feel my

    Ethan and I sit in our room, silent, perplexed, and out of words. Fear, entirely consuming us but the best thing to do at the moment was to keep calm. Sigh~I should have just stayed home, this is too much stress, and it's way worse than being stuck in Division Nine. Ding!“All students please prepare for class in one hour.”Once again, this just confirms that they want us to lose track of time, I guess this also means I've been up all night I bet the others are having a hard time as well. With no other option left, I drag myself out of bed, Ethan doing the same as we head straight for the shower room and arrive at the classroom. Everyone looked soulless like a walking corpse, yesterday's event and our near-death experience still fresh on our minds, to think we lost two students already. “Welcome to Robotics class, I will be your teacher for this semester, if there are any questions feel free to ask me I'll be pleased to answer your questions,” he says. The teachers–Now that I

    Note:For the sake of better reading, I'd be changing the tense to past tense. “You seriously can't jeopardize your life because of me,” our science teacher yelled in fear. “Who says I care about my life!”Once again, Dale was attempting to go for the kill with a gun aimed at the man's head. Sure he doesn't care about his life, but I didn't come here to die because of him.“Hey, cut it out, if you want to die so badly then go ahead and shoot yourself already,” I urged him. He clicked his tongue, and the gun in his hand began to waver as he seemed to have a change of heart. How the hell did he get a gun in the first place? I'm certain we weren't allowed to leave with our practice guns because they were real. “Perhaps y'all aren't sick of this dump but I am, this place is damn suffocating,” he yelled. “A teacher's life is at stake,” a voice suddenly echoed, “students are requested to neutralize the threat in three minutes otherwise face capital punishment.”Three minutes?Do they

    I'm eager to know what it is and how it works, although I suspect it to be a punishment room, I doubt there's anyone who'd like to be sent there, but– that guy had a smile on his face despite being dragged off like a dog, that's not a normal reaction no matter how I look at it. Something's fishy. I should probably check it out later. “Woah- You made this Miguel?”Hmm!On my way out, I noticed a small crowd of boys and a few girls gathered around as they cheered with admiration. “I guess that makes peeping in the girl's locker room an easy job,” one of the onlookers said. “What kind of perv are you?” the girls scolded him.Curious about the uproar, I joined them and discovered this Miguel person built a mini drone, or should I call it a spy cam? “What about a clock, can you build that?” I asked. Miguel paused and then shook his head. That's odd. I'm certain someone like him would certainly have no problems with building a clock just to tell time, so what could the problem be? “

    It was a small room with nails on the wall, and thin threads that could cut through anything surrounding the place, making it difficult for anyone to move, but something about this place put me off. Hmm! What's that?The guards took the tray from my hands and presented it to Dale through a small hole.Dale looked like quite the mess with cuts all over his face and he looked quite hungry, a bit displeased to see me, but I was more than thrilled to see him again since the both of us had a little unfinished business. “Let's go,” one of the guards said to me.“Excuse me, sir, I'd like to speak with him if you don't mind,” I said to the guard who exited the room without hesitation, meanwhile Dale took his time poking his meal, the meal I sacrificed for him. Dale glanced at his food and then smiled, “would you like to share?” He asked while he pushed the tray back at me.I sighed, there was no way I'd refuse such goodwill, I was hungry as well so I couldn't possibly refuse this generous

    Well, that wasn't so difficult after all. “You look excited.”“Hmm?” It wasn't until I heard Tasha's voice that I realized she was in my room. I'm tempted to ask why but then again, there's Ethan. “How was he?”“He looked a little unhappy to see me,” I answered. “Well I bet he does, he probably wasn't expecting anyone to show up, you made the right call tho ugh.”Like the others, Ethan couldn't care less about Zane but I bet he'd want to know more if I told him about what happened, I'd like to see for myself if what he said was true or false, that be useful in preventing our real enemy from finding out. It's about time I start finding a way out of this place. “Well I'm got to bed, if anything happens then wake me up, if nothing does then just let me sleep,” I said to the both of them as I headed straight to bed. Although, that wasn't the plan. One–Three–Five–Seven–Seven hours into my sleep, I woke up. While I clouded my mind with thoughts to keep me half awake, I also cons

  • The Elite Game    Chapter 13. Trick or Treat!

    “What's going on?” The class murmurs. Tension hung around our necks as if they were ropes, and the students, gathered in the classroom as we waited for our teacher who unfortunately did not show up, at that moment, we knew something was about to happen.“Attention students,” Mrs. Baker's voice sounded around the classroom and immediately everyone quieted down as we awaited to hear what she had to say. “I get the gist, you're all panicked and confused, we understand, however, the school has concluded that we may be putting too much pressure on you, as a result, we would acknowledge allowing the students to have a day off.” How funny her words sounded, I couldn't help but frown in confusion. The same school that had imprisoned us inside a building and forced us to die was sympathizing with us after one of their teachers just died. “What an obvious lie,” I chuckled. Still-As I looked around I found my classmates all cheered up and glad at their say-off, I wished I could be as happy

    A day ago. “You want me to make an Orexin receptor antagonist? Why?” Felicia asked with surprise. As much as I'd like to tell her the reason, I can't afford to screw up my plan, thanks to Dale's help I was able to gather a little information, “whatever happens, do not fall asleep.”His words still echoed in my mind as if I had just told him about this. Now I could see the reason why he said that something big was going to happen while we were asleep and I wouldn't want to take any risk no matter what it was, hopefully, I could convince Felicia to agree with me. “If you can't make it then that's fine, I’ve got nothing against you, it's just that I've been having a lot of nightmares recently and I would like to stay awake just for tonight,” I explained. “Hmm-”Although she didn't look too convinced by my words I could tell she was giving it a thought which was good for me. “But still, do you have any idea what those drugs can do to”“It's just for today, please, I need it,” I begg

    "We're not your enemies. We're students, too. We escaped the school just like you." I hesitated, my grip loosening. "Prove it," I demanded. "How do we know you're telling the truth?" At last they took off the mask from their faces, they looked nothing older than eighteen at most, but I wasn't going to be fooled, definitely not by their appearance especially. We pointed the guns at them, cold sweat dripped all over my face but that wasn't enough to make me tremble, at least I wouldn't allow myself to fall victim to such trickery. “No problem, no problem, I'll prove it, I'll show you that we mean no harm I swear,” the female of the group yelled. “Please, just back off with the gun a bit, that thing's dangerous and I doubt you even know how to hold them properly which makes it more dangerous.” Was she mocking us or what? I couldn't make due with it. I took a quick look at her and her colleagues behind us. They didn't seem to have any sort of weapon on them and they didn't retali

    Chapter 139. Defiance.

    I could hardly believe my eyes at first, but that was the honest truth apparently, and just like that, we had finally escaped the school, but freedom felt like a distant memory as we trudged through the arid landscape. Where we would go from here, that was the next question. Amid the celebration and excitement from my classmates I looked around, something didn't feel right, not in the slightest, but what was it? Suddenly, it occurred to me to look ahead as if I surveyed the land. "Does anyone have a binocular?" I asked. "A binoculars? I think I got one while we were escaping, it was amongst the staff gadgets," someone said. At once it struck me. Why exactly would they need such in the first place? The more I puzzled about this uneasy feeling the more restless I felt. The girl handed over the device with a bothered look on her face. I grabbed hold of the device and peered through. Scanning- Scanning- The coast looked clear, crystal clear however, what was this cloud of dus

    (Diego's POV)I dart through the shifting corridors of the maze, my heart pounding in my chest as I try not to lose sight of the others. The disorienting twists and turns of this twisted landscape make it difficult to keep my bearings.And I'm finding it harder and harder to keep on going.As I watch my classmates struggle to cross the swaying platforms, a seed of doubt begins to take root in my mind. Something about this whole scenario doesn't feel right. The way the walls shift and the floors move - it's almost as if it's an illusion, a trick of the mind.I take a step back, studying the maze around us more closely. The patterns on the walls seem to shimmer and distort, and the very air feels charged with an unnatural energy. Narrowing my eyes, I focus my senses, trying to pierce through the deception.Suddenly, a flicker of movement catches my eye, and I whirl around to see a shimmering figure in the distance. It's the teacher, I'm sure of it. A wild surge of anger rises within me

It was almost….. peaceful.Alas, things were not meant to be, as the world around us suddenly shifts and distorts.I grip the railing as the building contorts before my eyes, the once familiar corridors and classrooms twisting and distorting like a kaleidoscope. The floors seem to shift beneath my feet, and I struggle to maintain my balance as the world around me turns upside down. "What's happening?" I shout, my voice laced with panic as I glance at my teammates. Ava clings to the wall, her eyes wide with terror, while Chris braces himself against a doorframe, his knuckles turning white.A sinister chuckle echoes through the disorienting space, and I feel a chill run down my spine. "Did you really think you could escape me so easily?" The teacher's voice, dripping with malice, surrounds us.I whirl around, searching for the source of the sound.

    (Ande's POV)After washing out the blood from my clothes, I looked down with a heavy sigh of disbelief, I could not believe that this was what I had been reduced to. A monster, perhaps. "We have to go," Chris said to me, his hand upon my shoulder. Yes, there was somewhere we had to be and I refused to let anything come in the way of my freedom, not even myself. Chris and I rejoin the others. The students from the lab are gathered, their faces etched with a mixture of fear and anticipation. They couldn't possibly reject me and I knew that, I was one of them and they were just like me, we had the same substance or whatever it was that was put in me running through their veins, they couldn't possibly bail on me. "Ande," one of them says, her voice tinged with relief. "We've been trying to make sense of what happened back there."As I explain what I found in the lab and the chip I retrieved, their expressions shift from confusion to horror."So they were trying to turn us into desti

I couldn't accept that in the slightest bit, how could everything turn out this way, we had come so far and yet this was supposed to be the result?No, it couldn't possibly be this way. "Ande, listen to us," Ethan says, his tone urgent however I looked away from him, the last thing I wanted on my plate was someone to interfere with how I felt but he was persistent an attribute that I had hated for quite a while now. "We all felt... different, after what happened in the lab. And now, with what's happened here... we can't risk staying any longer. For our own safety, and for yours."I want to protest, to demand answers, but the fear in their eyes gives me pause. I took a deep sigh, surely this wasn't the end of everything, I knew there had to be some sort of way but the opportunity seemed difficult to come by. "I understand but I'm sure there's a cure

You can trust me, I promise.," he said, while desperately leaning to us for trust. I hold his gaze, searching for any hint of doubt or deception. After a long moment, I nod slowly. "Alright, Ethan. I'm going to hold you to that promise. We can't afford any more risks, not when we're so close to freedom."Ethan nods, his shoulders slumping with relief. "I understand, Ande. I won't let you down, I swear it."Before I can say more, Jay suddenly interrupts us, his gaze strangely vacant as he clutches the sleeve of my shirt. "Ande," he says, "Ande…""Jay, what's wrong?" I ask, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You seem... different."Jay turns to me, his eyes clouded with an almost otherworldly intensity.

    I'm in my office when a guard bursts into my office, breathless and wide-eyed. "Sir, there's an urgent joint summit being called. You're expected to attend immediately."I let out a frustrated sigh. These summits always mean more demands and red tape to deal with. "Can't they handle this without me for once?" I grumble.The guard shakes his head. "I'm afraid not, sir. They've specifically requested your presence."I groan in frustration, slamming the files shut. The benefactors - those stupidity wealthy elites who oversee the Games - are the bane of my existence. "Unbelievable. Can't they see I'm up to my neck in work here? We're still recovering from the disastrous events of the last Games."The guard shifts nervously. "I'm afraid they won't take no for an answer, sir. They said it's non-negotiable."I pinch the bridge of my nose, feeling a migraine coming on. "Fine, fine. Tell them I'll be there momentarily." As the guard scurries off, I mutter a string of curses under my breath.

    Chapter 132. Cracker the Code.

    There is a dismembered hand lying on the floor, partially obscured by the doorway. My stomach lurches at the gruesome sight, bile rising in my throat.The skin is pale, the fingers contorted, and there's still fresh blood pooling around it. I freeze, my eyes fixed on the grisly scene.Ethan and the others hadn't noticed it by the looks of things, their focus probably only on getting into the school undetected. But I can't tear my gaze away. Something about the hand catches my eye - it appears to be clutching a small electronic device, a tablet of some kind. Swallowing hard, I slowly approach the severed limb. I need to get a closer look. Crouching down, I carefully pry the fingers open and retrieve the tablet, wincing at the sticky, warm sensation of the blood on my skin. My heart is pounding as I examine the device, realizing it's emitting some kind of frequency. An idea struck. Quickly, I pull out my jammer and connect it to the tablet, grinning as I gain access to the video.
