The train moved on, as the players just stood there and watched the car that Brian was in fall even further back; he was gone and just like that they were down to nine.

"Oh my gosh," Emily said as she wiped away at the tears that streamed down her face. It wasn't just him being killed but the timing. They were in a game were people were obviously going to lose their lives but them losing someone so soon didn't even cross their minds and so it happening really gutted them; it had them worried even more for what was yet to come. Only Bella knew that them dying in the game meant them dying in the real world as well but it was still just as emotional. To them they were just exiting the game but they were people that they had began to bond with and so no longer having them around left them feeling some type of way. And it wasn't so much them exiting the game, because that was something that was just bound to happen but it was how; the gruesome ways in which the players that had left had di

    The players were now down to eight and safely in the third car they stood waiting to see what was going to come at them next; looking at each other with their hearts continuing to sink at the thought of the ones that they had just lost. They had just gotten into the level and they had already lost two people; how many more were they going to lose?"Everyone alright?" Den asked and they responded with slight head nods; obviously still shaken from what they just went through with the bat creatures that really handed it to them. But though battered and bruised they collected themselves with deep breaths ready to go again; they just had to be ready to go again, it was why they were there."Oh gosh what's next?" a girl watching on her laptop asked.The train carried on as the players then spread out to look out the windows to see what was coming at them next; still moving through the dilapidated city with the setting sun in the exact same position it was in when the level began."Do you gu

    "Of course it's not safe to swim through, look how black it is," a girl watching on her laptop with her best friend said."That is the blackest water I have ever seen," her best friend said."It looks like what water would look like if it were alive and died," she said and they laughed. "So black."Just then two of the creature's tentacles caught Sue by both her legs and because she wasn't holding on tight enough she got pulled back and PWAF! She fell into the water."Sue!" Emily shouted and wasting not even a second to think about what she was about to do Bella sliced through the tentacle around her left hand and the other around her waist and PWAF! She dived into the water after her; with all the players giving out the heaviest of gasps, the viewers too. Did what just happen really just happen? One of the players just got dragged into the darkest of dark water and another dove in right after; the darkest of dark water they still didn't know was safe or not."Ha!" a man watching on h

    Waiting on suddenly something happened. The sea urchins began to pull back and POOSH! POOSH! POOSH! Water started to squirt in through the holes made by their spines. The holes were small but they were numerous and each one had water squirting in from it. Water that squirted on them and began to wash off the dark water from the previous car that had stained their clothes, their skin and their hair; with each one of the players with hands over their faces to shield them from the water that was squirting in from everywhere. It was then that they got up onto the seats."Oh no the car is going to flood," a boy watching on his laptop said."Oh my gosh the thing is going to flood," a girl watching on her phone said. "Drowning is my worst fear.""Ha! We're going to die. We're going to drown and we're going to die," Reggie said; already freaking out."No one's going to drown," Den said."We are so going to drown," Mandy said; as the car began to fill. The water had just started coming in and

  • WELCOME TO OUTLIVE   Oh my gosh they're all going to die

    The car was completely flooded and the players just floated there holding their breaths; looking to the clock which read 2:10 and then at each other wondering who was going to run out of air first and drown. A sight that was going to be one of the hardest things either of them ever saw. Who would want to see people drown? And worse off when those people were people you had come to care for. It was such a terrible thing and to think that seeing each other drown was going to be the last thing they saw before they themselves drowned and exited the game was something that brought an actual pain to their chests. They all hoped that they were going to win and so not only exiting the game but doing so in such a cruel way had them quite shaken. The majority of them had tears coming out of their eyes but because they were completely submerged in water they couldn't be seen.They were hoping that once the clock hit two minutes flat that the door would open just like it had been before but it di

    "How did she do that?" one of the software engineers in the control room asked and turned to Mr. Kingman who was standing on his platform watching the outro on the main screen. "How is she able to hold her breath for that long?""She's an assassin remember, they train their bodies to do the most ridiculous things so that they can be able to work themselves through any scenario to take out their targets. And she's the best of them so that's probably nothing compared to what she can actually do," Mr. Kingman said and faintly smirked to himself. "And how's her following going?"Another engineer typed something on his keyboard and the bets popped up on one of the screens. It was a bar chart of the all the players that were still in the game and the number of bets that had come in and were continuing to do so."Bella's up to two million bets whilst the others are still stuck in the bottom half of the one point hundreds," the engineer answered."Good." Mr. Kingman looked on at the chart wit

    “Oh man what did you do Den?” a boy watching on his tablet asked. “It was a stealth mission. We were sent to infiltrate an enemy camp out in the jungle, a rebel group that had been terrorizing the villages in the area; hunting down the young men and killing them and assaulting the women and children . . . I thought I had cleared my section but I hadn't," Den said; going back to the day when the mission happened, seeing it so clearly in his mind it was like it happened just the day before. "Uh oh," a woman watching on her tablet said; by the way he started the story she, as well as all the other viewers watching world wide, could tell that what was about to follow was something heavy. And with the look he had on his face even, whatever it was looked like it had been eating at him for a very long time. "This enemy came out of nowhere and saw me and he blew everything. He opened fire at me and I took cover. I managed to put him down quick but it was too late. The gun fire had already a

    The players stood with their eyes on Bella; waiting to hear what it was she wanted to say. She had a certain look on her face and with the way she threw her head a little down as she gave out a soft sigh, they could tell that what she was about to say wasn't a walk in the park."If I die in here I want to die knowing you knew the real me, knowing that you knew me for who I really was," she said; looking to the floor but really looking into herself."O.k.," Den said; wondering if what she was about to say was something about him and the kiss he gave her not too long ago or something else."Back there you asked me what I did and I said I was in accounting.""Yeah," a few of them agreed as the rest just nodded their heads; remembering it very well because the job she said was quite contrary to the way she had been carrying herself and so though none of them brought it up again, they hadn't really stopped thinking about it. It was what she said and they had no right to argue but the two j

    "Oh my gosh of course that's the general," a girl watching on her laptop said. "Whoa!" a group of boys watching on a laptop shouted. They were obviously expecting him to be bigger than the soldiers, hence the main mission being to take him down, but what they laid their eyes upon was beyond what either of them imagined. They were completely shook.The players stayed hidden and quiet as the general walked up to his table and sat down on the chair; the action of him doing so shaking the room like a tremor. He grabbed a file to his left and began going through it as the players passed more looks at each other; how on earth were they going to take out a target that size? He was their combined strength times fifty. What chance did they honestly stand going up against a thing like that and actually winning? It wasn't looking good."Oh man this is not good," a man watching on his laptop said. "I know I say this a lot but this is really, really not good.""I guess it's game over," Reggie sai

    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

    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. 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
