"No, no, I'm not even trying to scare anyone I'm just saying what I heard, I heard something moving in the water," Mark said. "Didn't you hear it?"
"No I didn't hear anything," Mandy answered, she was the one walking closest to him.
"Well I heard something."
"Don't worry man I heard it too, saw something in there too. There is definitely something in there," a boy watching on his laptop said.
"O.k. well I'm sure it was nothing, let's keep moving," Den said and they moved on.
"Nothing? Are you high? You are in a game where there's stuff on each level that has literally been programmed to kill you and you're going to say it was nothing. No, it was not nothing, it was most definitely something and whatever it is is seconds away from jumping out of that water and eating you alive," a girl watchi

"Oh my gosh he's dead. Mark's dead," Hannah said with tears in her eyes. He was there and alive less than a minute ago and now he was gone. And not just, he just had his head completely eaten up by some freakish fish creature."Ah!" Emily screamed pointing forward and when they all looked to where she was pointing ice cold shivers ran down their spines."Oh my gosh," Den said; with eyes all the way widened like he had seen a ghost; the others too as they looked on at the sight before them, a sight that had them instantly fearing for their lives."What? What is it? What's there?" a girl watching on her tablet asked; eager to see what it was that had scared the living daylights out of them.It was more of the creature that had just killed Mark; a large group of them swimming towards the players leaping in and out of the water like dolphins and shrieking like wolverines."Quick, everyone through that door move, move, move!" Den shouted and the players began to run and swim towards the do

The players reached the elevator and Den pressed the button and unlike the other one this one actually worked. The elevator was on deck 5 and began to come down; with each one looking at the display giving out quiet sighs of relief. Finally something was going their way.The elevator reached deck 3 and dinged open."Alright let's go," Den said."Hold up," Bella said."Oh my gosh what now?""Look at the capacity, it says 5 people only, which means only 5 of us can ride it at a time.""5? That'll leave one of us to ride it alone," Mandy said."Yeah.""Not it.""So not it," Reggie said."Who's riding first?" Sue asked."The women will go up first," Den answered."But there's 6 of us," Hannah said."You guys go. I'll take the next one," Bella said."Are you sure?" Sue asked."Yeah.""And then who's going to ride alone?" Grayson asked."It's not a problem, I'll ride alone," Den said. "Come on inside go," he then said and all the women except Bella went in. The elevator doors closed and ins

More water poured in with more creatures in it. They leaped out at them but the players held their on; except Reggie who was still down and went on hiding. "The room is filling up, what's the plan?" Emily asked."Up," Den answered and they all looked up. "The lights, everyone get up onto the lights, quickly!"There were hanging lights made of a thick wooden frame right above them that was about a meter long and they all began to climd up onto them; all except Reggie who was still cowered by the table, shaking even like he was out in the cold."Bro what the heck? Get up," a boy watching on his laptop said."Reggie! Get up," Bella shouted."No," Reggie responded."Reggie!""Reggie get your ass up onto the light now!" Den shouted as the creatures tried to leap out of the water at them but couldn't get them."No!" Reggie shouted and started crying."Oh my gosh crying, is he crying?" a girl watching on her laptop with her friend asked."He's crying," her friend answered."Oh man dead, Reg

***Bella was swimming in an Olympic sized pool from one end to the other with Mr. Henderson waiting for her to reach him with his stopwatch in his hand timing her swim from point A to point B and back to point A. BOOF! She reached and popped her head out of the water."How did I do?" Bella put her goggles over her swimming cap and asked; breathing in and out heavily."Good but not good enough," he responded."What was my time?""1:10. I need you to get it down to fifty seconds.""That's twenty whole seconds," she said."Yes it is.""You want me to get from here to there and back here in fifty seconds?""Yes," Mr. Henderson answered; like there was nothing at all extreme to what he said."Goodness what does swimming even have to do with being an assassin?""Sometimes things go wrong and you need to get away and what if the only means for you to do so is through the water, you will need to know how to swim. And not just but fast, because how fast you get away could be the difference be
WELCOME TO OUTLIVE You have to tell them
Bella hit the shower and as she walked out, freshened up and dressed in a bath robe, suddenly her TV went on, and looking at it she was immediately shaken by what she saw. It was a live feed coming in from the morgue with Mark's and Grayson's lifeless bodies on steel beds. Their bodies were in tact and they were still in their suits but their skins were as pale as clouds."Oh my gosh," Bella said, throwing her hands over her mouth as tears immediately came to her eyes like she had a tears switch and it had just been turned on."Sad to see your friends dead isn't it?" a voice came in through the speakers. Mr. Kingman's voice. "Especially Grayson, you really did try to save him but your efforts were just not good enough, shame.""Oh my gosh." Her heart sunk. "They really are dead.""Yes they are.""I thought . . .""What? You thought I was bluffing," his voice said and laughed. "Oh no Ms. Knight, I may do a lot of things but the one thing I do not do is bluff.""They're dead.""Yes. Lik

"Well we're all here so whoever this Bobby friend is he's probably an NPC," Bella said. "And those can be a whole lot of work when they want to be," Sue said. "Yes they can." "Well let's hope he's not one of the dumb ones or else we're in for one heck of a brawl," Den said. "O.k. so how are we doing this?" Brian asked. "We find our buddy and we rescue him." "How do we find him?" Hannah asked and Den looked around. The forest was dark with a few rays of the full moon's light shining here and there, through the spaces in the tall trees. And it was quiet; nothing but the sound of a gentle breeze blowing through the leaves, crickets screeching in the grass and an owl hooting about in the distance. "I don't know, it's so dark out here we can barely see a thing." "We have light," Mandy said. "Yeah but it would help if we knew where we were going; he could literally be anywhere." "True," Roy agreed and Bella looked up. "A tree," she said. "Climbing one will give us a good scope of
WELCOME TO OUTLIVE There's too many of them
Den and the rest moved back and took their position as Bella, Sue, Mandy and Emily crept around the settlement, using the trees and the bushes as their cover, and stopped right opposite where Bobby was tied up; hiding behind the large bush that was there. "Girl squad let's go," a girl watching on her phone said. "There he is," Bella said. "You got your knife ready?" she then asked Emily. "Got it," she responded; holding the very knife strong in her hand, ready to use it to cut Bobby loose. "O.k. Sue you're going to take out these two, Mandy the two to the left and I'll take the ones to the right." They nodded their heads. "Alright, let's move." The women took their positions and after signalling at each other, BANG! BANG! BANG! The three opened fire at the six guarding creatures as Emily ran up to Bobby to free him. He was sitting on the ground with his hands tied behind his back and her knife sliced through the rope like a sword fish through the water. "Oh my gosh you found me,"

The creatures kept on moving in but the players stood their ground; firing shot after shot and reducing them to lifeless corpses falling off the top of the mountain and landing all the way down on the ground. "They're not stopping, more just keep showing up," Sue said. "Did we do something wrong?" "The mission was to keep him safe and he's safe so I don't know," Bella responded. "Just keep shooting, this is the mission," Den said and they carried on. Thank goodness they had an unlimited supply of ammunition otherwise it would have finished on this level because they didn't just kill the creatures, they killed a whole lot of them and when they killed their last one; they looked around and were just about to give huge sighs of relief that it was over when just then, GROWL! The leader leaped off a tree branch towards them; knocking Wendy off the mountain and landing right in the middle where Bobby was. The players saw it and as Bobby screamed for his life, they pointed their guns at i

It's just business
Bella’s body was taken down to the morgue and was laid on one of the very steel beds she had seen all of her fellow players lying on after they had been eliminated from the game and were dead. Her skin still had some life in it but in her head was a bullet hole with the bullet still lodged in her brain. Lying there cold and motionless like she wasn’t so full of life just a moment ago. She was absolutely shattered by the deaths of her fellow players; deaths she was made to believe were real, but in the end she found out that none of them were really dead. They had died in the game and that was it. They were all still very much alive and had even been taken home but there she lay dead. She had survived all sorts of monsters in the game only to succumb to a bullet to the head and it was a sight that Sue and Den were never going to forget for as long as they lived. Upstairs Mr. Kingman was in his office seated at his table with Shane standing in front of it with his eyes red and his heart

Oh my gosh
Bella made it all the way to the top and opened the door that led out onto the rooftop. It was storming outside and so there was lightning flashing and thunder roaring in the darkened clouds above, and making it out of the door she started crawling herself to the middle of the helipad; literally using the last little bit of strength she had left. “Come on girl, come on!” a group of boys watching on a laptop urged her on as they jumped up and down like popcorn popping in a hot pan. Bella crawled on. Suddenly SPLAT! She fell to her stomach and didn’t just cough out black blood she vomited it, as some of the viewers threw their hands to their heads and the others threw them over their mouths. They all stopped jumping up and down and went so quiet you could hear a pin drop as they just stood there with their hearts in their mouths, pounding like speakers at a night club. Bella had just dropped to the floor of the rooftop and wasn’t moving. She was looking like she wasn’t even breathing.

Let's finish this thing
Bella stood as slight defeat came over her face. The other floors were bad but this one was really bad. She miraculously made it through the other floors but she didn’t think she was going to make it through this one. Not only did it have the most creatures on it but she only had her knives to go up against them, there was no way she was going to survive. Also her body went on deteriorating as the virus multiplied inside her even more and so she wasn’t at her best, she had fought a good fight but it was very much beginning to look like that was where her good fight was going to meet its end. Bella was tough, there was no doubt about that but even she wasn’t that tough.“Oh no, oh my gosh,” a girl watching on a laptop with her brother said with her hands over her mouth and with tears beginning to build in her eyes. She was so close she had to make it. She just had to.Her body was on the verge of shutting down but still she kept going. She had tapped into her reserves and those reserve

That's cheating
The super soldiers came at her with everything they had. They not only swung their huge fists at her with impressive speed but they grabbed tables and threw them at her and CRASH! They shattered against the walls. Fists and boots came at her but swiftly she dodged them. She knew that the way they took the general down in level 7 was the way she was going to have to take the super soldiers down, by smashing their heads and so that was what she did. She managed to land one of her MMA moves on one of the super soldiers and CRASH! Its head smashed on the floor. Bella then ran towards the other one and stepping on the edge of one of the tables, she gave it a flying kick to its neck. The soldier staggered back and tripping over a chair, CRASH! Its head smashed into the wall and the viewers cheered. With how aggressive they were throwing their punches and the tables at her, it wasn’t certain that she was going to make it but she did, and it made Mr. Kingman want to pull his hair out. He was

Ugh for crying out loud
Bella made it into Rex Building, sliding across the shiny marble white floor of the foyer, and turned back to the army of zombies that was behind her. She had her guns up ready to shoot them if they broke through the glass and continued coming at her but they didn’t; all they did was scratch and bang at the glass as they hissed, moaned and snarled on.“Oh my gosh, they’re going to break in and tear her apart,” a boy watching on his phone said.“Move girl, them things is going to break in and feast on your hot self,” a man watching on his TV said. “Move it.”The building foyer was completely empty. There was nothing in it but a front desk and an elevator, and seeing that the zombies could not get into the building Bella then got back up onto her feet and began walking backwards towards the elevator: it was the only place she could go.Bella reached the elevator and pressed the button, and the moment she did, she took a few steps away from it and stood with her arms spread out; pointing

Game over
“Players of OutLive, congratulations for making it to the final level, welcome to level 12,” Lora’s voice said and the viewers had butterflies the size of bats flying around in their tummies; with what a roller coaster of emotions the game had had them on they couldn’t wait for it to be over. “The final stretch, oh my gosh I am so freaking nervous,” a man watching on a TV with his brother said. “Bella’s winning this right?” “Oh absolutely,” his brother answered. “If she doesn’t win we’re going to boycott the game.” “Damn right.” They gave each other a high five and listened on. “Oh my gosh the grand finale, so nerve wrecking,” a girl watching on her phone said. “I just know one of them is not going to make it, I just know it.” “In this level you are a two soldiers of an elite tactical unit and your mission is to reach the helipad of the Rex building where you will be extracted from via helicopter by the rest of your unit. If any of you die along the way then you will be eliminated

“Oh gosh she’s not there, not good,” a girl watching on her laptop with her twin sister said. “You think she’d dead?” her twin sister asked. “She better not be. I’m not even playing, she better not be.” Den looked around the neighbouring booths for her but she wasn’t there. He called out to her too and there was no response. Where was she? Meanwhile with Bella, she continued to tussle with the jester. It knocked the wind out of her a few more times but still she kept getting back up and pressing on; heading towards the Ferris wheel so that they could retrieve the balloon and finish the level. Den looked on for Sue but she was nowhere to be found; it was only when he ran back to the Ferris wheel that he found her being attacked by two clowns. “Sue!” he shouted and he ran to save her; hitting the clowns in their heads with his pole and reducing them to black smoke. “Oh my gosh Sue.” He moved in and hugged her and she hugged him back. “I thought those things had you.” “Almost.

“Oh my gosh Bella!” Den made it down the tree and called out to her. He then grabbed his pole and started running to her.“No not me her, go help Sue,” she said.“Bella.”“Go help Sue!!”He didn’t want to but he did it anyway. He changed direction and went to help Sue and rescued her from the primate creature with a high strike to the top of its head.Sue groaned. On top of the huge injury she had, she had succumbed to some more.“Ow,” she said.“Are you o.k.?” Den asked.“No, I think I broke a few ribs.”“Crap, come on.”He lifted her off the ground and carried her to the train as Bella, with the help of her bat, managed to pry herself free from the bear trap.“Oh wow she actually freed herself,” a boy watching on a laptop with his girlfriend said. “Aren’t bear traps like super hard to get out of?”“Yes they are,” his girlfriend answered.“Damn.”Bella groaned as she looked down at the mess that was her leg; the teeth of the bear trap pierced all the way into her flesh and she was bl

The train reached the curtain and began to go through it and because the bouquet of flowers was the right item to be collected from the graveyard section, they were allowed entry into the next one; a shabby deserted desert, still with the full moon shining bright. “From a graveyard to the wild west, man, this game just keeps on giving,” a man watching on his tablet said; eager to see just what the next section had install for the them and the players. He was one of the few viewers who was still experiencing excitement, everyone else had cashed in their excitement for fear. The mailbox was in front of one of the house and they quickly dropped off the train and ran to it. This time it was Sue’s turn. She pulled out the envelope and opened it. “Golden plate,” she read. “Spread out, go,” Den said and they ran off. The town was just made of the one street; five houses on the left and five on the right, and they had to search each one of them. Thank goodness the houses were the size of
