The Reaping: A Judgment Day Fanfic

In too deep

All of them were walking down the dimly lit hallway and contemplating on how they were going to get out of the building alive.

Man #3 (referring to Michelle): Hey, what's your name?

Michelle: I don't have one. What's yours?

Man #3: Nicholas Machiavelli, I was born in Venice, Italy, but I decided to move here.

Nicholas had an Italian accent, 6'2", hazel eyes, dark brown wavy hair, and an athletic build. Man #1 had an Irish accent, 6'0", green eyes, long red hair, and somewhat of a muscular build. Woman #1 had a Hispanic accent, 5'6", light brown long hair, and an average build.

Michelle: It's nice to meet you.

Man #1: Angus Barry from Ireland.

Woman #1: Adriana Maria from the Dominican Republic.

Michelle: It's nice to meet you all.

She stopped walking and saw a dark, shadowy figure standing ten feet away from them. She backed against a wall and it placed her into another room. She let out a scream and the others turned around. 

Adriana: No name, where are you?

Michelle grunted and looked around her. She started banging on the walls and screaming. They ran to the wall that she fell through.

Nicholas: No name!

Michelle: Look for a door that leads to where I am. Follow my voice and see if you'll fall through.

They searched for a revolving door and didn't find one.

Angus: We couldn't find one. Wait a minute, there's a door.

He opened it and they went inside the room. 

Nicholas: No name, we're here.

The lights turned on in the room and the walls slid up showing Michelle in an aquarium halfway filled with water. Adriana covered up her mouth in shock.

Adriana: No name.

Michelle put her hands on the glass and saw the cameras. Angus grabbed a crowbar, and started beating on the glass, but it didn't break.

Rhea: Adriana, you were a star soccer player once. You played for the big leagues, until, you got injured to the point where you would never be able to play soccer again. You turned into a drug dealer and started gettin' high off of your own supply. Not only that, when you ran out of supply, you would make false duplicates of your own supply made out of poison that took the lives of many people. You also took sick pleasure in drownin' your own son after he told you he couldn't give you the money to get your own fix. You lied, you stole, and you abused your life and the lives of many people. Let's put your brain to the test. To save no name's life, put the right move set/hometown/nickname underneath the photos of these Superstars. You have 3 minutes, and if you don't succeed, no name will drown. Her blood will be on your hands. Time starts, now.

The aquarium started filling up with water and the digital clock on the right side of the aquarium started counting down. There was a picture of each member of the Judgment Day Faction and duct tape with each of their move sets, hometowns, and nicknames on them.

Adriana: I don't know! I don't fuckin' know!

All three of them looked at Michelle and she started gasping as the water began to fill up the aquarium making it to her chest.

Michelle: Frog Splash for Dominik, Riptide for Rhea, Coup De Grace for Finn Balor, and Reckoning for Damian.

Adriana put the rightful move set underneath the right pictures and Michelle was submerged in the water. The aquarium was full of water, and Michelle swam to the top, but there was no air holes. She swam to the bottom and tried to open a grate. It was no use and she swam back up to the top. She held onto the bars, until, she couldn't breathe anymore. Adriana figured out the rest of it by herself and the clock stopped at 10 seconds.

Adriana: Open the door! Let her out!

An unseen door opened and the water came rushing out of the aquarium along with Michelle's motionless body. Her eyes were open and they crowded around her.

Nicholas: We've gotta look for a pulse.

They searched for a pulse and there was none.

Angus: We can't find any. We're gonna have to do CPR. 

He put air into her after positioning her straight and Nicholas put his jacket underneath her head. Angus started doing chest compressions and Michelle did nothing.

Adriana: Come on, no name, you've gotta wake up.

Angus repeated the process for the fourth time and still nothing. Rhea started biting her fingernails nervously.

Rhea: Come on, Michelle, wake up, wake up. We need you.

Dominik: What's goin' on over there, mami?

Rhea: They're headed to the next part of the game.

Angus: It's not workin'. She's gone.

Adriana: No, she is not gone. I passed--.

Nicholas: Well, you didn't do it fast enough, all right?! Not everybody can hold their breath underwater for three minutes. You put up a struggle tryna look for air, you end up drownin'. Her name's Michelle Lilakoi, the retired resident nurse, the Jane Doe, the amnesiac who got into a car crash with a drunk driver. I recognized her face. She saved my nephew from being paralyzed for the rest of his life. The Judgment Day faction is pullin' the strings around here and they know who she is.

Angus: The Judgment Day faction is just some stupid wrestlin' faction who makes money beatin' people up not playin' sick games with criminals!

Adriana: That's what they want you to think. I thought it was a myth myself, until, I woke up here not rememberin' what happened the night before, I mean, besides gettin' high.

Nicholas did chest compressions and put air into Michelle. Michelle coughed up a lot of water and her flashbacks came back to her. She put her hands on both sides of her head and panted heavily. Nicholas picked her up and they walked out of the room.

Angus: I wonder what's next. We're gonna get engulfed in flames?

Nicholas: I hope not. We need to focus on tryin' to survive. They're watchin' our every move. Let's go in here.

They went into another room and the door slammed shut behind them.
