Team A’s room was so gloo my. Everyone eyes were dark and their mouths were numb.
Some had their bútts on the floor while some on the bed.
Rowen was thinking while sitting on his bed. Leah looked at him with such spite, and finally stood up.
She walked slowly to him and Rowen looked up.
“I won’t forgive you if anything happens to me. Especially, Gerald” She said, strongly with tears in her eyes.
Rowen scoffed, softly. He faced her again.
“If it were you,, wouldn’t you have signed the f* cking contract?. Didn’t you also desire a collab with Mrs Harrisburg at Mizxa?? Tell me!”
He looked down, and rubbed his hair.
“If I knew the game would be like this…would I have made a mistake of signing it?”
Leah swallowed and a tear ran down her eyes.
“If I were you,,, I would struggle to live. Just stay strong and you’ll be safe. There are only games” He muttered.
“Only games? You make it look like games are easy and people don’t lose it. You think…people don’t lose games or what? Even,,, we do!! We gamers lose!”
“That’s online. This is offline. Its better, don’t you think?. You can do this. We can”
“Don’t tell me sh!t. During our childhood days, we all lost to a game or so! What of him? What are we gonna do about him? You know how…feeble he is” Leah muttered, pointing at Gerald who was laying down on his bed.
“He’ll be fine” Rowen said.
“Freddy is the most feeble. Can’t you see how old and weak he is”
“Listen here, Rowen. I don’t care what you say but what I know is… if anything…anything at all happens to me,,, or to…my brother. I’ll ki ll you”
“Does it matter? We were all gonna díe anyways”
“Huh?”
“If they didn’t rescue us. We would have díed by drowning or some…sea mônstér would have eaten us for dinner or something. Wh@tëver you are saying now,,, It’s useless. Go rest We’ve a long day tomorrow”
Leah inhaled deeply and walked back to her bed.
Her bed number was 4. That was the same number written on her jersey’s chest.
Someone’s stomach growled and everyone looked around.
“Sorry,,, That was me” Fat Joe muttered.
Rowen sighed.
“Don’t they feed here? We are hungry…What if we all díe of hunger” Fat Joe sighed, and laid on the bed.
“Anyone here with phones? Seems they ripped mine off” Kelly said.
“Mine too. Its not with me” Simpson said.
“What were you expecting? Would they leave you with your phones when they know you’re gonna díe? They even changed our clothes” Phoebe yawned.
“I’m tired. I’ll sleep first” Phoebe Mõ@ned and laid on the bed.
Marshall slowly walked to the huge metal door and tried to push and open it but it wouldn’t bulge.
Even the door collided well with the wall that it made it look more like a wall.
“Where are we right now?” He muttered, biting his lip. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
SOME HOURS LATER**
MIDNIGHT**
Team A door opened slowly and Eunice looked around. She smiled and walked out.
Everyone were on their bed.
Probably, sleeping.
She had just finished checking the other rooms.
Ava followed her as she walked. Ava was the only one without scars and burns. She was the one who hacked into Rowen’s company bus.
“What of player 112 cor pse? Have you disposed it yet?” Eunice asked as they walked away.
“Not yet. We were waiting for your command” Ava replied and opened the door, which was now before them.
Eunice entered and saw the cof fin which had a red ribbon.
Ava opened it slightly.
“Its him. Player 112” She muttered.
“Yeah. He got eliminated today. Take his body out before it stinks the whole place”
Ava nodded and called 2 other game conductors who came forward.
They had their g uns in their gún’s pocket.
“You’re to lead them” Eunice said.
“I know. Let’s go” Ava said and led the 2 girls who obediently followed her.
***
They were at the deck of the ship now.
“Throw it” Ava muttered.
They had just brought out the body from the cof fin.
The girls swinged it over and let it slip off their hands. It fell into the water and the heavy body sinked below the waters.
Ava grinned and told the girls to leave. She watched the huge waters which was now covering up the body.
The whole view showed from above. The SHIP which they were in, was a very gigantic one.
It was so big and mighty. Very huge. In fact, the way it occupied the sea mass was ins@ne and terrifying.
But still, it couldn’t beat the huge vast of water that flowed calmly.
The waters made it look like the earth was covered with water alone cause it was just too…much.

“What are you doing?” Helen eyes opened.
“I’m…scared..Please,,, Lemme stay like this. Please” Gavin was shivering.
Helen swallowed hard. She knew Gavin always got scared at every slightest thing.
One thing he cherished was his dear life.
Gavin was laying on Helen’s bed instead of his. He was behind her.
He had his arms around her waist and his face against her back.
Helen’s heart raced, surprisingly. She tried to control it but it disobeyed her.
She sighed deeply and got a small flashback to when they were still really in love.
☆ FLASHBACK ☆
Helen laid on the bed facing her laptop. She was editing a game application they were producing.
On the other hand, Gavin was dressing up. He had finished showering. written by sommy pearl f.
He laid on the bed later on and looked at Helen who was busy.
He smiled at her and tried touching her but-
“Wait…I’m almost done. Please,,, just wait” She smiled.
“Ugh! That was what you said yesterday. I even almost got lured in by some slú t. You work is depriving you from me” He frowned.
“No. Don’t say that. I’m trying to make money for us. You said the company you work for is getting bankrupt. You know my company is an average one. I need to be very hardworking. I get just few pennies after working for an hour. I gotta move my hours up, you know. I’m almost done..Give me…20…No,,, 40 minutes”
Gavin sighed.
“I’m feeling sleepy and hó rny too”
“I’m sorry but I can’t leave this. I’m almost done and I got to submit it as early as 7am tomorrow”
Gavin took his face away.
Helen sighed and looked at the laptop.
Just then, thunder rumbled and lighting striked.
“Oh my!” Gavin shrieked and held Helen close.
“What’s..What’s it?” She asked.
“I’m….scared”
“Oh. Its fine. I think its gonna rain heav- She was interrupted by another lightening and thunder storm.
“Please,,,” Gavin murmured, placing his face against her chest. His arms were around her waist.
“Let’s…just stay like this for only 20 minutes…Please” He muttered.
Helen swallowed nothing down her throat.
She faced him with a smile and began to stroke his hair. His face was stuck on her chest.
She could also feel his heart beating fast.
“I’m…so scared” He whispered.
