The last person standing

Little meeting...

Bella's P.O.V.

We've shown the room to everyone. Some decided to take a shower immediately, I didn't I went to the library once again. I need to think about everything that happened. It hasn't been a day yet and Alex is injured, Jennifer looks so vulnerable right now that I don't even know how to feel. We still have two doors left! This is insane! What if behind the next door there's something worse? What if someone gets badly injured or worse?

Thomas – Hey. *he greeted distracting me from my thoughts*

Bella – Did you take a shower yet?

Thomas – No, not yet. I was looking over Alex. You okay?

Bella – Yeah, I was just thinking of everything that has happened inside this house so far.

Thomas - Crazy isn't it?

Bella – Yeah.

Thomas – Well, let me take your mind from all this for a while.

Bella – I don't know if you can do it.

Thomas – Well, I could try. I could also teach you some phrases in Latin so we can talk while the others don't understand.

Bella – If they're useful phrases then yes, you can teach me.

Thomas – Great! Um, try "Suus 'iens ut benne sit".

Bella – What does that mean?

Thomas – 'It's going to be okay.'

Bella – So, "Suus 'iens ut benne sit"?

Thomas – Good! Now "Auxilium".

Bella – What does "Auxilium" mean?

Thomas – It means 'Help'. There's another thing that might come in handy for now. Well, I hope t does if you ever need help. "Te requiro" means 'I need you'.

Bella – "Te requiro"?

Thomas – Yeah, exactly.

Nick – Hey guys, Vic is already out of the shower. Do you think you can come here real quick?

Bella – Sure.

Nick led us to the bathroom where everyone but James and Alex was.

Thomas – Ayo this a party?

Jennifer – We were thinking. The host has cameras everywhere but here. I checked so let's mess with him a bit.

Aria – We were thinking of destroying all the cameras. We should have done it earlier but it's better late than sorry.

Thomas – Let's do it!

Bella – Wait! Do James and Alex know about this?

Nick – Yes. He whispered it into my ear before I called Thomas to watch him.

Bella – Okay. Let's do it then.

Victoria – How are we going to take them down?

Jennifer – Well, however you can.

And just like that, we got out of the bathroom and started to tear the cameras apart. About ten to fifteen minutes later, all the cameras were wither on the floor or hanging by a thread. That was pretty fun if you ask me. The not so fun part was having to clean up the floor because of the broken glass. We don't want anybody else to be injured whether it's badly or not. Inside this house, you never know what might happen. This probably won't help us much but it certainly helps us feel better and a lot more confident. To our surprise, The Host didn't say anything about us taking down the cameras. When we had finished, The Host hadn't said anything or told us what to do. So, with that, we decided to chill for a while. For the first time after Alex's surgery, I was going to see how he was doing.

Before I knocked on the door Alex and James were talking about God knows what but once I Knocked the room became silent.

Bella – It's me guys. Can I come in?

Alex – Sure Bella, come on in.

I come into the room only to find Alex and James taking pictures on James' phone! I have no idea what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't it. But it's cute that they're taking pictures.

Bella – How are you doing Alex? How do you feel?

Alex – I feel a bit weird but Aria told me that it could be due to the blood loss. They also told me that they couldn't eat for at least a few hours now so I guess I won't.

Bella – I'm glad you're okay.

Alex – Thank you, Bella.

Bella – You don't need to thank me, Alex.

Alex – Okay, but I have something I want to talk to you about though.

Bella – What is it?

Alex – Can you give us a moment James?

James – Sure man, I'll go grab myself a glass of water.

*James leaves the room and closes the door gently behind him*

Alex – How is Thomas?

Bella – I don't know. He isn't the easiest person to read and I haven't asked yet.

Alex – Make sure he's okay, please. He hasn't had it easy.

Bella – I will Alex, don't worry.

Alex – Keep an eye on him.

Bella – I will.

Alex – I'm sorry if I'm sounding lame or whatever but he is my best friend and I don't want him to be anything but happy. Make sure he's okay, please.

Bella – I don't want to see him hurting either. I will look out for him.

Alex – Thank you so much, Bella.

Bella – It's okay. It's my pleasure.

*Someone knocks on the door*

Thomas – Can I come in? *Thomas asks from the other side of the door*

Bella – Yeah, come in. *I respond*

Thomas comes in with a cup of water.

Thomas – I just wanted to bring Alex a cup of water in case he's thirsty.

Alex – Thank you!

Thomas – So how are you feeling?

Alex – A bit weird but that's all.

Thomas – That's not bad. But the best part is that you'll get better. I'm sorry, I know I'm interrupting but I'll leave now.

Bella – No, it's okay. Me and Alex were just chatting.

Thomas – It's good to see you too getting along. Not that you ever had beef with one another but you're chatting now.

Alex – Jealous are we?

Thomas – No *he scoffs* Just saying that it's funny how things change.

Bella – Yeah, things have changed a lot.

Alex – That's the only good thing that happened inside this house.

Thomas – True. 

*someone knocked on the door and opened it slightly*

 Jennifer – Hey, just came in to say that all of us already took a shower so if any of you guys want to go take a shower. 

Bella – Yeah, I'll go. Thank you for warning us.

Jennifer – No problem. 

*I smile at Alex saying goodbye, got up and walked towards the door as Jennifer walked into the room*

I go upstairs, get myproducts and a change of clothes from the closet and into the bathroom I go. At first, I hesitate to get it because the shower thought I might have scare me but I gave in quickly enough.
