"Get the f*ck outta my way!"
I was about to enter a truck when someone grab me by my collar and push me away.
It's a fat woman with an ugly face.
She stared at me from head to toe.
"New here? Huh, such a beautiful face yet a murderer, don't worry, you'll be murdered soon too"
I just give her an emotionless look.
"I see"
I said before entering the truck but dang it! She pulled me again, making me sit down on the ground.
Annoying.
"Are you turning your back against me? Huh?!"
I just give her a blank look.
What the hell is wrong with her?
"Stop it already or I will call an officer"
One of the women stood in between us.
"Huh? You wanna mess with me too? I remember you're supposed to be my target last time but the time was running, seems like I can accomplish that plan right now"
The fat woman said before entering the truck,
The woman who stood between us extended her hands to help me but I ignored it and stood up on my own.
"Thanks for standing between us but there's no need for you to do that"
I said coldly and was about to enter the separate truck when she spoke up.
"You're new here? I suggest you to lay low and don't mess with those person specially her, she's one of the most nasty player, you should not mess with her"
I look back.
"You're warning me but aren't you also in a tight position? I'm sure she's already setting her eyes on you"
She just smiled.
"Let her be, I'd rather die than seeing someone like her bully a newbie"
"Thanks then, just don't regret helping me when you're already in your deathbed"
I said and waved my hand as I enter the truck.
All eyes were set on me as I sat down, I raised my brows and all of them look away except for one person, it's the girl earlier, she's looking at me as if she's begging for help but I just look away and ignore her, even if I agree to team up and help her the time will come that we'll have to kill each other.
I don't want to be stabbed in the back.
The truck start moving as I closed my eyes and just sense my surroundings.

I'm in the room where they assigned me, each of us were given a key and inside the room, we can see a bag full of supplies.
I tried opening the door and I heard the clicking sound which means it's unlocked.
I step outside only to see a whole blocks of walls around, it's a maze, a huge maze.
"Okay players, the game will start now! Kill as much as you like and survive!"
The speaker went off as the timer on the huge clock on the center started ticking.
The whole maze is insane, it's so huge and by just looking at it, there's a big chance that you won't be able to find the exit.
This place is covered with forest and wherever you turn you'll find big trees which is making it more complicated.
I still didn't see any players, seems like everyone of us were separated, it'll be a luck if you won't encounter anyone, no one will try to kill you.
I look at the bag that they gave me and saw a dagger inside that is wrapped with paper, I noticed some writings on the paper.
'Use this to survive and stab anyone who's trying to hold you back, survive and give out guest a great show, that's all! Kill or be killed, the first ten person who can exit the maze will warn a reward!'
I clenched my fist and look at the corner of each walls, there's a lot of camera around.
I hate people who uses people to entertain their selves.
I raise my middle in front of the cameras before wear my pack bag, guess this'll be the time where I need to independently survive.
I look at the biggest camera in the center.
If I want to achieve my goal, I must survive here, I won't let her death be in vain.
~
Vanillope started walking as she started the journey of her survival but little did she knew, behind the cameras, someone is setting an eye on her.
The person can't help but smirk upon seeing how Vanillope face the camera and raise her middle finger.
"She's interesting…"
"Are you planning to join them again?"
Another person who just entered the room ask.
"Yeah, it's boring to just see them here in the screen, I wanna see them dying with my own eyes, and…there's also someone who just caught my attention"
I really think I've been here earlier,Ugh! Curse this whole maze! I look around and nothing changed! I'm still inside here surrounded with maze, this sucks, I'm not good with directions, maybe this is an advantage to other player since they've been here a lot of times but for us newbie? I don't think so.I'm tired, guess I can rest for a bit.I have a low stamina that's why my health is also a hindrance.Just when I was about to say down when I heard someone screamed.I get up and peak on the other wall only to see a familiar face.It's the fat woman and the woman who helped me earlier.Woah, it's just half of the day and their path have already crossed? Bro that's destiny mI saw how the other companion of that fat lady pin her on the ground, it's obviously advantage for them because their three of them.Tsk, what's the point of having a companion when you'll just end up killing each other? They'll just backstabbed you one day.I was about to walk away when I heard a scream.I look
"They said if you kill someone they'll give you a prize" I look at the dead body on the corner "I'm a little curious if what type of prize they'll give us in exchange of someone's precious life" I pause as I stood in front of her before kicking her on the ground making her yell due to the pain in her leg, I pointed my butterfly knife in her throat "And who said I'm helping you? They said the more lives I take, the better prize they'll give, now I'm excited if what can I get of I kill two people"She look at my face for a minute as if she's reading me and just a second after, she started laughing.What the, has she finally lost it?I frowned in annoyance."You really want me to believe you that you'll kill me?"I press the blade of my knife in her throat more."It's up to you""You're cunning, but I helped you earlier, might as well set me free for once?"I rolled my eyes."You didn't helped me, you just stood there and threatened that fat lady""Pfft, fat lady? Agree, she's really fat
"Hey, what about we add a number on our back so it won't get too obvious and no one will know about our true number?"Micah suddenly suggested while slowly walking around the building we're in.This maze is just like a huge city, there are also building covering us around."Are you stupid? If we add another number on the number on our back it'll be so messy"She looks at me as if she don't get what I mean..Is this woman really that simple minded?"For example, your number is 54, if you add another number, like 1, making it 154, whoever the killer of 154 will be your new killer if ever your destiny will meet, anyhow, we don't have any pen in us that we can use to write another number"Her face brightened as if she finally got what I mean."Oh, right, you have a point" she then smile widely "You really are a smart woman""I'm not smart, I just pointed out the wrong on your idea, simpleton""Eh? You're so harsh""Nah, just honest""Come on, at least show me your soft side!"She said as
~"Open it already so we can find out if there's really someone behind that cabinet"Micah close her eyes as she held Vanillope's shirt tightly."Oh my god, this is the end of my life, oh gosh, we will die"That's what on her mind while waiting until the men outside open the cabinet where they're hiding.Right now she's seriously scared, not because she's afraid of losing her life but because she's afraid on the pain they might give her, she saw and heard how they tortured the guy and to mention that she's also one of their target.She slightly open her eyes when someone held her hands.It's Vanillope, she's holding her on her left hand while tightly gripping a butterfly knife on her right hand.Suddenly, the fear on her heart slightly faded as she remember that there's someone on the room that she can rely.Vanillope might seems like a cold person but deep inside she's actually kind.Vanillope was about to slam the cabinet door open in order to shock those men outside when suddenly,
~ "D-Did they already left?" "I think so"I slowly opened the cabinet door and roam my gaze around.I look at Micah who's still shivering up until now."You okay?"She slowly nodded."Yeah, just a little shock"Why so shocked? Hasn't she already killed someone before?I held her hands and led her to sat down on the bed, she's still shaking."T-thank god they finally left…I was so scared""Hmm, yeah? Anyways, let's keep going, we're almost consuming the day yet we still didn't gained anything"I said and prepared myself."Wait up, let's wait a little bit, Le me take a short while to breath"I sigh.''Fine""Anyways, it's a good thing that 'that long haired man appeared, but dang it, he's more scary, it's a good thing he didn't notice our presence"She said before drinking the water from her bottle."He knew we are inside the cabinet"I said, making her pause and look at me."Pardon?""Our eyes met, yet he chose to ignore, maybe he's just really finding his target"Micah nodded."Now
I opened my flashlight and look at my surroundings where I saw that little girl earlier but I see no sight of her. I continue to look around until I heard a familiar little voice . "H-help …" I hurriedly look where that voice was coming from and to my shock I saw a trail of blood, I followed it only to find a little girl lying on a bath of blood on the cold road with a lot of stab in her abdomen. "H-help…" She slowly tilted her head when she felt my presence and the small smile she gave me makes my whole body shiver. "B-big sis…I knew you'd come" I slowly kneeled down and elevate her head so she can make my lap her pillow. "C-can..you help me out? I-It hurts a lot" I wiped the blood on her face and use my shoulder so the rain won't drop on her face. "I-I'm so sorry that I ran away…" She slowly raise her bloody hand and gently caressed my face. "B-But you came back therefore it's already okay…I knew you are kind" I couldn't bare seeing her in pain. She reminds me of my lit
I woke up from a roar of thunder.I look around me only to see Micah sleeping while leaning on the wall near the bonfire.I can't help but to sigh, this girl.I reach my shirt near the bonfire.We are issued two pairs of shirt and pants with numbers but all of our two pairs were wet. That's why we are forced to cover ourselves with malongs, while waiting for our shirts to dry.they aren't that heartless, they still gave us something we can cover ourselves with.It's a good thing it's already dry, I wore my shirt and used my malong to cover myself.The sun hasn't risen yet but it'll be better to start moving while it's still dark."Micah, wake up already, we need to get moving""Hmmm"She humm but just shrugged and continued to sleep."Tsk, wake-up or I will leave you"In just an instant she opened her eyes."Oh, Vannilope, you're already awake? Have you had a good sleep? I made sure to guard our surroundings"I stared at her."Yeah? Tsk, dress up, it's still raining needles but we alre
I look around and look for any weird marks that might be Micah's signs.I look at each tree, stone and even soil but I can't see anything.I look up, the sun already rose and the rain has already stopped falling but it's still cold and slippery.I saw some weird marks on a huge tree nearby.I look at it closely and find out that it's a carved arrow pointing north, there's a carved letter 'M' on the top of it.Seems like this is already the sign I'm looking for.I wasted no time and followed the trail to the north where I find more carved arrows until I reached a little stream, on the other side, there's a big nara tree and there's a carved arrow on it, I guess she draw it bigger on purpose so I can notice it.I jump thru each rock and managed to reach the other side withoug getting wet though my shirt is already wet with the rain earlier.I'm about to celebrate because I managed not to get wet and then I take glimpse on my muddy feet, guess washing it won't hurt.After washing my face
