“Move Bella! Go!” a boy watching on his laptop shouted, wiping away the little tears that had fallen from his eyes. “Girl go!” a woman watching on her laptop shouted with rivers of tears running down her face; absolutely heartbroken over Mandy’s elimination. She was the one she had bet on to win but unlike the others she didn’t turn her device off, she kept on watching because though she had bet on Mandy to win, there were still three players left in the game and she had grown to care so much for them she didn’t want any of them to succumb to the same fate that Mandy did, and so she kept on watching, hoping so bad that they were going to make it. Bella moved on and safely reached the other end, with the swampy water quiet and with no other spikes having shot out at her, it seemed they only shot out when the players were in one place for a while as was Mandy and later Bella, and so the trick was to keep moving, which was what Den and Sue did. They got up onto the stems and began makin
Bella was right behind Den and so quickly she swung herself forward and caught him with her legs, almost losing grip but holding on, as the viewers all cheered; jumping to their feet and even dropping to their knees in huge relief, they were so sure he was done for but thanks to Bella not just yet; he was still in it. “I got you Den, hang on,” she said. “Let’s go Sue, let's keep moving,” she then said and they continued making their way across the tar pool, in-between the poisonous spikes, with Bella holding onto Den with her legs, not only burdened to carry her own weight but his as well. “Oh my gosh look at that, just look at that,” a man watching on his TV with his best friend said. “Dude this chick has to be bionic, she just has to be. Who carries a fully grown men with their legs like that?” “Bionic woman,” his best friend answered. “Exactemundo my friend, exactemundo,” he said and they watched on. “Is she carrying him with her legs?” a girl watching on a laptop with her boyf
Bella freshened up and when she was done she went and sat down on the bed to cry for Mandy some more, with the TV on and tuned into the channel it was always tuned into after each level, the morgue, this time bringing in live feed of Mandy’s corpse, adding fresh salt to the open wound that was her bleeding heart. It hurt to see blatantly how she had failed at keeping her alive but it didn’t hurt as it would have had Den been lying down on the steel bed next to her. That would have absolutely crushed her soul especially after how she and Sue both risked their lives and losing the game as a whole to keep him alive. Losing Den would have destroyed her and so she literally did everything in her power to keep him alive and with Sue’s help she succeeded. Den was still alive, her friends were both still alive but it wasn’t going to be for long because Mr. Kingman had made it more than clear that he wanted her to suffer for what she did by making her watch all her friends die and there were o
On the other side of the curtain was the first section and it was of a farm located in the middle of nowhere. There was a two story farm house on their left with bare ground all around, as far as the eye could see, except where the tracks where leading which was to the curtain that led to the next section. And it was about a thousand meters from the one they just went through which was just about the time the players had to find each section’s item.“And there ladies and gentlemen is the creepiest farm house you will ever see in your entire life,” a girl watching on her tablet said.There was a blue mailbox in the front yard and Bella, Den and Sue got off the train and ran to it. Den got it open and removed the yellow envelope that was inside, as behind them the train kept on moving, at the same slow pace but moving. He opened the envelope and inside it was a piece of paper with something written on it.“Mother’s portrait,” he read.“Is that what we’re supposed to find?” Sue asked.“Y
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
“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
“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. They
“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
