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
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
"Players of OutLive congratulations, you have completed level 6," Lora's voice said to everyone and the viewers cheered on as the players gave out huge sighs of relief. The level that was almost the death of them, and was unfortunately the actual death of Emily, was over. Bella got off the general's back and the other players struggled a little but got themselves up onto their feet and for a moment they just stood there looking at Emily; out of the game and with her head lying in a small pool of blood. "You may exit the game," she then said and the door to the general's office opened and over it was the Nano wall. The players were reduced to tears and didn't want to just leave her there, especially Bella who knew that she was gone for good, but they had no other choice. She was out of the game and there was nothing else for them to do but to move on so that was what they did. With their heads low and their hearts broken the players then walked to the door and exited the game as the ou
"How about that kiss huh?" Mr. Kingman interrupted and both Bella and Shane looked at him; he was not at all moved by the touching moment and wanted to bring an end to it immediately. "Talk about some serious chemistry between her and that Den guy.""There's nothing going on between us," Bella said; giving him a look like he had just said the most ridiculous thing ever. She loved Shane with everything she was and she was literally giving it her all in the game because of him, there was no way she was going to jeopardize what they had. It was too important to her."I beg to differ," he said. "That kiss looked like you two might have something going on.""Well we don't.""Did you see the kiss Shane?""Yeah I saw it," Shane answered; it was more than obvious that he didn't like the sight of it."And what did you think of it?""Nothing because that's what it was, it was nothing.""He clearly has feelings for her," Mr. Kingman said; shamelessly trying to start a fire where there was no caus
