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

    "Players of OutLive welcome to level 4," Lora's voice said. "In this level you are explorers and your mission is to follow the map and find a priceless artifact hidden within one of the rooms of the ancient buried tomb in which you stand. And only when the artifact is safely in one of your hands will one of you light your flare and signal the end of the level. Any players that die along the way will be eliminated and the players that survive will move on to the next level with the hope of you winning the grand prize of $10 million still alive. Should the artifact break then the mission would have been failed and none of you will make it to the next level and your game will be over. Players as always the stakes are high so you must make sure to work as a team or else you will not make it. Your mission starts now.""Oh man ancient tomb things, I am here for it, let's go," a girl watching on her phone said."Ugh this is giving me serious mummy vibes and I am loving it, let's do this," a

    Just then, SWISH! Something moved in the sand again, this time next to Emily. She screamed and they all turned to her. "What?" Brian asked. “I saw it too," she said. "I just saw something moving in the sand, right there." She pointed. "O.k. two people see something moving in the sand, there is definitely something moving in the sand," Sue said. "Great, just great," Reggie said and his body immediately broke out into shivers; the grand prize of $10 million was a really sweet one but he was seriously beginning to wonder why he had signed up to play. He was scared of everything and had literally only made it as far as he did because of Bella; if it wasn't for her he would have been long dead. "Should we keep moving?" Hannah asked. "Hold on," Den said and they just stood there quiet for a moment, looking around; hoping to see the something move again so that they could try and make out what it was but it didn't happen again. The sand remained calm. "O.k. I think we're good." Sudden

    The players looked on at the task before them and Bella came up with the idea of someone hanging onto one of the ropes to see how much time they had before the block completely fell out; whilst holding onto the next rope so that when that one fell out completely they would have something to hold onto."But then that rope will begin to slide out too," Mandy said."Thank you for taking that question right out of my head," Reggie said."It's going to begin to slide out too yes but then the person will quickly jump off, be safe back on solid ground and Bob's your uncle," Bella said; so casual like she wasn't talking about something that if went wrong could easily lead to their elimination."O.k. and who is the person that's going to do that?" Mandy asked."Don't look at me." Reggie threw his hands into the air. "I'm afraid of heights remember.""Reggie please no one was even looking at you," Bella said and they chuckled. "I'll do it.""You sure, because we can let the fireman do it," Den

    The players swung from one rope to another, counting out loud and making sure not to look down lest fear come over them and they freeze; an action that would without a doubt lead to their death."Come on guys, you're doing great, let's go," a man watching on his laptop said.They were doing well; moving at the same pace so as to stay together and encourage each other to keep moving forward. Even Reggie was doing a good job; Bella's pep talk really sunk in. He really didn't want to die and it showed in the way he moved; gripping onto the rope for dear life and getting it swinging as quickly as he could.The players were half way across when just then something happened. BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! Giant black as night mosquito-like creatures with elongated proboscises and leaf-like wings flew out of the darkness below them and started flying around them."Oh for crying out loud," a girl watching on her tablet said."Aaah!" Reggie screamed; immediately freezing on the rope he was on. The others t

    Den walked forward and slowly made his way down the three stairs and onto the floor and the second he did, they all looked up at the gong contraption waiting to see it start ticking but it didn't. It remained perfectly still. "What happened? I don't see anything," Mandy said; did something happen and she just didn't see it or what. "Me neither," Hannah said. "Does anyone see any change?" Bella asked. "No," Emily answered. "That's a negative," Den said. "It's not moving." "It didn't work," Reggie said; holding his breath. Nothing happened but he just knew that something was bound to. "Maybe there's something missing," Brian said. "There is definitely something missing," Sue said with a certain look coming over her face; she just figured something out. "What?" "Us. I think we all have to be on the floor for it to work." "Ugh of course," Hannah said; nothing had been straight forward since the level started, why would this be anything different? "Alright guys come on down, let

    Reggie fell on and Bella caught him mid-air with her left hand as she held her right hand out to grab onto the walkway, and she grabbed it. But her grip wasn't good and so her hand slipped. Bella and Reggie were heading straight for the darkness below and everyone witnessing it had their hearts in their mouths; the players and the viewers that were so jawdropped by the sight of it that the majority of them sat up to see if what they were seeing was really what was happening; Bella and Reggie on their way to exiting the game."Ah! Bella! No!" a girl watching on her laptop shouted."Oh my gosh! What! Nooooo!" a boy watching on his phone shouted; with a hand over his head. She knew she could save Reggie's life but after she lost her grip and started to fall she was certain that that was the end. Seeing the darkness below her and drawing near to it immediately broke her mind up into a million thoughts. Not only thinking of the unfortunate fate that was soon to be hers and Reggie's but th

    The players stood on; looking at each other and wondering to themselves who among them was going to be brave enough to swing across first. It was the last obstacle. After they overcame it the artifact would be theirs but overcoming what was before them wasn't as easy as that. It seemed way too easy and that was the problem. There had to be something to it and whatever it was they just knew that it wasn't good. Still afraid or not they had to get across."I'll go," Den said and the others just stood quiet; someone had to do it and they were all glad that he had stepped up, of course not showing it too much because obviously something was going to happen out there and they didn't want to see him get hurt or worse off lose his life."Gosh Den please don't die," a girl watching on her tablet said. "I love you."The players gave him room as he held the rope firm in his hand, ready to swing himself out and then back and forth so as to gain enough momentum to get to the other side where they

    Bella quietly cried on. She wiped more at her tears and all Mr. Kingman did was just sit there looking at her; with not even the slighest bit of sympathy in his eyes. Seeing her go through the clear heart ache she was going through was one of the most rewarding moments of his life. It made everything that he had put in place to avenge Gloria's death worth it. He had put in so much work and seeing it all unfold exactly the way he planned it would made him feel like he had already won. Her suffering, both emotional and physical, and her eventual death was his goal but seeing this woman who was by far the best in her field exhibit the demeanor of a lost little child was just as sweet."I bet now you're thinking you should have taken option A. What was option A? This was obviously option B because I don't think anyone ever wants to become an assassin, it's one of those professions that you just find yourself in. Like me and what I do.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    “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.

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
