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
*** "If you're in a dark foreign place and you don't have your night vision goggles to help you see in the dark, you will need to rely on what you have with you which are your senses and most importantly your instincts. You will have no idea where you are and there could be people around you with guns so what you need to do is heighten your senses and use them to sharpen your instincts so that you don't just make calls but you make the right ones because making a wrong call when there's not much time for you to work with could 100% be the difference between whether you live or die," Mr. Henderson said to Bella. They were in the gym; she was standing blindfolded on the fighting mat and he was standing on the side. Also on the mat with her were eight people standing in a large circle around her; each one with a toy gun in their hands that shot rubber bullets the size of champagne corks. "You won't have much use of your eyes so what I want you to do is use everything else; your nose, wh
Bella walked all the way down to the end of the tunnel and there it split into a Y. She stopped to breathe and listen and when she did she opened her eyes and went down the tunnel to her left. "Oh man this is freaking me so out, I just know that whatever is down there is going to scare the living balls off of me," a man watching on his laptop said; tightly holding onto one of the couch pillows even. It was a scene just like all the others that looked like things were going to go south real fast. The players went on moving; slow and steady, but not too slow because there was a time limit on the mission and they needed to beat it if they wanted to move on to the next level. Bella reached the end of the tunnel and it branched out into two; a T, a way to the left and a way to the right. She stopped, breathed and listened and when she did; she didn't hear anything out of the ordinary but she did catch a whiff of something in the air. "Oh my gosh," she said and popped her eyes open. "Sue
"Sue?" a sweet voice came from the end of the tunnel and Sue's eyes popped open with a brightness in them as inside an instant calmness came to her pounding heart. "Bella?" Sue said. "Yes it's me." "Oh my gosh," she said getting up and they both ran to each other; reaching in a hug that was exactly what the both of them needed at that moment. A hug that lasted quite a while as they both just stood there breathing out huge sighs of relief, more than could be put into words glad that they had found each other and were not alone anymore. "Uh thank you this is better, this makes me feel a whole lot better, thank you," a woman watching on her TV said. "Because being down there in that super darkness by each one's self is not at all bueno." "Oh thank goodness," a girl watching on her laptop with her best friend said and gave out a massive sigh. "Feel my heart," she then said and grabbed her best friend's hand and placed it over her heart."Dude!" her best friend said; she could feel her
"Oh man you do not want her to tell you what is down there with you, it is going to freak you the eff out and give your nightmares nightmares," a man watching on his laptop said. "Sorry guys but what is down there with you is bad news. It is very, very bad news," a girl watching on her tablet said. "You've seen it as in actually seen it?" Mandy asked. They all had the same look on their faces, they wanted to know what it was but at the same time they weren't so sure they wanted to because again the look that came over Bella's face was one that immediately defeated them. She was the brave and tough one and so for them to see her in the state of fear that she was clearly in was not at all a good sign. "Yes," Bella answered. "How bad is it?" "It's very bad." "What is it?" Den asked. "It's a worm-like thing with teeth and claws." "Can we fight it?" "Negative. Without guns fighting it is not at all going to be wise," Bella answered; still keeping her voice low as did the others. "
