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
"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
