"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
"Woah, as expected from you, even with just a knife you still managed to win"Micah said while packing the resources we found, there are nine can goods, three bottle of water, pack of sweets and biscuits then four Tupperware full of foods.Good thing they packed delicious foods, hopefully it doesn't contain any poison."By the way, thank you so much earlier! Without you I'm sure I'm already dead!""You already thanked me five times so stop it, let's go, we only have two days left and we haven't found our target or the door yet""You're right, we should get going"She wore her pack bag and slowly stood up, it's so obvious that she's having a hard time walking because of her leg injury.~"Finally, we're already out of that dark forest, let's rest a little please, my injury hurts a lot"Micah said before sitting directly on the road.I look around me but there are nothing but huge walls dividing the whole area so it'll look like a maze but there's still a building on each block."Wait"
