Zombie Apocalypse Metranome Virus

Chapter 12

Recap:

"It is a very advanced building. We have running water, electricity, anything you need. We try to keep the gamers at their best." Aaron said as the elevator stopped and we stepped outside. We walked towards the end of the large hallway until we came to a single door.

'30' Was the number.

Aaron knocked on the door.

"Come in." Came a voice from the other side of the door.

********************************************************

Tj's POV

The door opened and the room in front of me was magnificent. Dark red, plush carpet, black, leather furniture. And in the middle of the room was a large oak wood desk, and sat behind it was a large chair.

"James." Aaron said.

The chair slowly spun around and a large man was sitting in it. And by large, I mean large. He looked about 6'5 at least and he was ripped, you could see his arms bulging against the fabric of the suit he was wearing. He had short black hair, slicked back. He was like Aaron, someone you obviously didn't want to mess with.

"I have brought them." Aaron said bowing slightly. I looked puzzled.

"Good, thank you, Aaron."

Aaron nodded his head and stood behind us. James connected his eyes with Daniel and I. "So you must be our new competitors." James said to us.

"Competitors?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"Ahh, so you didn't tell him?" James asked, looking at Daniel.

"I was wanting to make it a surprise." Daniel said smirking.

"Right. Well then, I'm James, you will be staying here for a while."

"Tj, may I ask why?"

"For the games of course!" James said smiling.

"The games?" I asked stupidly.

"You really didn't tell him anything, did you?" He looked towards Daniel.

Daniel shrugged his shoulders.

"The games, where do I start? Since the beginning of this whole little 'outbreak', I realized people would do anything to survive. So why not fight to survive? I found this hotel, inside were few men, women, and children. It was easy to become their leader. They were hopeless, lost, and scared. I had everyone working, working to make this hotel the place it is today. Slowly, more people found it and I took them in, under one condition, pay your way through life, or fight. Many were wealthy before the outbreak and cold hearted. They wouldn't dare leave their money behind. So they easily payed their way through here, but some were unfortunate enough not to be as wealthy as others. So they fought. They fought for their lives."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

James smiled. "In the arena, they fought. They fought the undead. They win, they life another day. They lose, we'll I'm sure you know what would happen." He said smirking.

"Wait, that's why we're here?" I could feel my anger rising.

"Precisely." He said smiling.

"Wait, we? That wasn't part if the deal." Daniel said stepping towards James. Aaron grabbed his arm, Daniel looked back at him and yanked his arm free.

"I said I would give you a fighter and you would let me stay here." He said.

"My dear boy, you think one man is worth two lives?" James laughed. "You're going to fight just as he is."

"You son of a bitch!" Daniel screamed, lunging towards James. Aaron swiftly grabbed him and spun him away from James. He pounded against his chest until Aaron brought his elbow down on Daniel's head. I watched as Daniel fell to the floor.

"He's not dead." Aaron said, wiping away any suspicion I had.

"Now, do you want to walk to your room, or go the same way as your friend?" James asked, looking at Daniel's motionless body lying on the ground.

"I think I'll walk." I said.

"Good. Now, Aaron will be your and Daniel's mentor. Listen to him, and you shouldn't die. Any questions?"

"No." I said simply.

"Good, Aaron, escort them to their rooms?"

Aaron nodded and threw Daniel over his shoulder. He walked towards the door and I followed.

"One last thing," I heard James say as we were leaving. "Enjoy your stay." He said with a wicked smile on his face as I shut the door behind me.

Sorry it's short guys! But I had to upload something! Tell me what you thought.
