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

    A red Ferrari pulled up in front of the gate of a metal barred fenced mansion located in the middle of nowhere. The gate opened at the push of a button and the car drove in; all the way down the long driveway to the house where the car parked and out of it walked a woman thirty-five years old. Her name was Bella Knight and she had her thick dark hair braided into a pony tail that went down to her round bum and a body that turned heads; plump breasts and skin like butter milk.Wearing a black loose cat suit Bella made her way to the door where the one of the two guards standing there opened it for her and she walked in.Inside she walked through the fancy house to the glass door at the far end that led out onto the back patio. She walked out and sitting by the table having a cup of tea poured for him by one of the maids was a man named Mr. Henderson. He was about sixty years old and was large bodied like a wrestler.“Uh if it isn’t my beautiful darlin

    Hours later, light started to come to Bella’s eyes and when she opened them fully and looked around she was in an office; an office that was well put together and the size of a decently sized apartment, with a large window overlooking the view of a vast rain shadow desert and a chubby suited man sitting behind the desk with four goons standing behind him, suited and armed.Bella rolled onto her stomach and then got up onto all fours; breathing heavily and with her chest moist from sweating. She tried to get up and even stood for about two seconds but then fell back down to her fours, still woozy from the shot.“You just got sedated with a dose that could knock out a baby elephant, you should take it easy,” the man seated comfortably back in the chair said. He was about sixty years old and had a Van Dyke beard. “Hello Ms. Knight, lovely of you to join us.”“Who are you?” Bella asked.“You don't know me but I

    "Ladies and gentleman my name is Lora and I will be your guide throughout your OutLive experience. Please allow me to introduce to you your players," Lora's voice said to the viewers and everyone worldwide couldn't contain themselves; they had been waiting for the game to drop for three months and finally it was here."Oh snap let's go," a girl watching on her laptop said."Player 1; name Reggie Bellman, occupation, Electrician," Lora's voice said and the cube in which Reggie was standing in lit up. He was wearing a silver and black skin hugging rubber high-tech body suit that covered him from the tip of his toes to the top of his neck; standing to himself and hearing nothing but the quiet as the small empty room lit up with a white light. “Player 2; name Emily Justice, occupation, Personal Trainer.” The room she was in lit up too and there she was standing in the same body suit as player 1. “Player 3; name Roy Sanders, occupation, Security Guard.

    Inside they walked across the empty foyer to the door at the far end and when it was opened for them by the two bouncers who were standing beside it, the players were hit with music that was so loud the floor was thumping. The large speakers were blasting dance music and the dance floor was flooded with a young people that were dancing and having themselves a good time."Goodness we have to go through that?" Reggie asked."No we don't, check it, there's a place to walk on the side of the dance floor," Sue said."Oh thank goodness.""What's the matter Reggie?" Roy asked. "Scared of teenager girls?""Yeah I'm not going to answer that," he said and the two of them chuckled as a few of the others just smiled."Alright let's move. Our client is in the main back room, let's go and get her," Den said and they moved out."Ooh look at Den taking charge, mama like that," a woman watching on her laptop said.The players walked do

    The players walked down the hallway to the door with Ms. Peach Larson in the middle busy texting on her phone. They reached the door and as Den grabbed the handles to get it open it didn't open. He tried it again and still it wasn't opening."Hello, do you not know how doors work? Let's go," Ms. Peach Larson said."I know how doors work," Den responded."Well you could have fooled me.""O.k. calm down," Bella said."Excuse me, what did I say about telling me to calm down," she said turning to Bella."Oh no I got it, no one tells you to calm down.""That's right," Ms. Peach Larson said. "I will not tell you again.""Goodness you are lovely.""I know," she said and turned back to the front."Yo Den what's going on up there?" Roy asked from the back."The door won't open," Den responded."Is it busted?" Emily asked."No it's locked.""The heck?" Brian went. "Why would they lock it when the

    "Shoot 'em!" Den shouted and BANG! BANG! BANG! The players took the creatures out. The ones mid-air too splashing more blood and fleshy bits everywhere and on Ms. Peach Larson again who screamed her head off."Are you kidding me? Are you effing kidding me!" she shouted. If her head didn't explode in the next minute it would be a miracle because she was fuming. "What part of this outfit is custom made do you not understand! What, are you retarded?""Seriously, we just saved your life . . . Again," Roy said."You ruined my outfit.""Saved your life.""Ugh! Idiots! All of you are just idiots," Ms. Peach Larson said and the deep clicking sound they heard before went again and when they looked up there were more creatures. This time ten."Oh come the eff on," Brian said. Just then the sound went again but this time it came from another direction and when Bella looked there she froze."Uh guys we have a problem," Bella said."Wow slo

    Each hive needed twenty-five shots and when those shots had been fired, most of them coming from Bella's gun, the hives began to blow up. And when they were all taken out, the four then re-joined the others in shooting the last of the creatures and in no time they had managed to kill all of them.Just then the door they used on their way in unlocked and swung open."Ay how about that? We did it," Roy said."Alright guys, awesome, team work makes the dream work," a boy watching on his laptop said."O.k. let's get the heck out of here before something else happens," Den said."Right behind you," Mandy said.The players walked to the door, still in formation with Ms. Peach Larson in the middle, and then made their way through the foyer to the main door where they walked out and found her limo parked out front waiting for her, with her driver standing by the open door."And there's your ride," Sue said."So that I can get

    "How much did you get paid to take her out?" Mr. Kingman asked; seeing how tortured she already was and wanting to torture her some more."I'm not doing this," Bella said standing up and wiped her tears away as she headed for the door."Where are you going Ms. Knight?" All the henchmen standing in the corners pulled their guns out and pointed them at her and she stopped. "I don't believe we were done talking."She turned to him. "I'm not going to have this conversation with you.""Yes you are.""No I'm not.""Ay! Sit your ass back down on that chair or I am going to have my boys bring in your lover and shoot him in the head. Right in front of you!" Mr. Kingman said with his voiced raised. "Is that what you want? Because I will do it. There is nothing I would enjoy more than putting a bullet through his head, go on Ms. Knight, make my day. Make my day."More tears ran down Bella's face and she just wiped them away as she walked to the

    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. They

    “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
