FLOWER'S POV

Oh.. fuck- what happened..?..
I thought to myself. My entire body hurt, and I couldn't get up. I opened my eyes, to be in a random room of the hotel.

My skirt was dirty, and ripped.

"What the fuck?.... Lolli?..."
Nobody was there. I noticed I was on the floor. I noticed a pair of goggles, a watch, boots, and more in a pile on the ground.

I got up, even though it was hard to keep myself up, I grabbed the goggles and put them in, and rested them on my head.
I put on the watch and boots, and there was some bandages and a bag.

The goggles were dirty and had some dried blood on them, which scared me a little bit.
I put the bandages in the bag, and walked to the bathroom to get a first aid kit.

"Is there a phone somewhere?.."

I froze.

I heard a noise coming from behind me.
I noticed a dirty, blood stained knife in the bag, and grabbed it immediately.

"WHO'S THERE?!- I HAVE A KNIFE, AND I.. KIND OF KNOW HOW TO USE IT!"

I fell backwards, I saw.. a green number, I think X called them.. algebraliens. But.. it wasn't two. They had sharp teeth, and blood on their hands.

"SOMEONE! ANYONE!-"

It stopped coming towards me, and I noticed there was another one stopping them.

"FOURTEEN! LET HER STAY FOR A LITTLE BIT."

"But I'm hungry.."

I was shaking in fear, and I realized my sweater was dirty. I felt my petals, and.. one was ripped.

The one stopping 'Fourteen' came up to me.

"Sorry about them. They're a.. well, cannibal. Don't be scared."

"Are you.. one of Four's contestants?"

I nodded yes.
I really wanted to run away, but I knew that wasn't an option.

"The winner, right? Flower?"

I nodded yes again.

"Who are you?.." I said. I looked down for a minute, noticing something.

"Fifteen. Fourteen brought me here, I didn't want to come. Where are the other contestants so I can get this over with?.."

I was afraid that sometimes was going to happen if I said the truth, but I had no lies.

"I don't know. I blacked out and woke up here."

I looked around the room. It seemed like.. Book's room?.. It had images of all the members of Just Not, especially Price Tag, Goiky's Dragons dice, and a Yoyle Chess board. The room had blood on the floor though, probably from Fourteen.

Book might have died, but that wasn't really my problem right now.

"This is Book's room though."

Fifteen rolled their eyes.
"That's very helpful." She said sarcastically.
She helped me up.

"Stay with us. We can find them, you can have your friends back, and Fourteen will get a feast."

I was taken aback. "Wait, what? Who are you gonna eat?-"

"Anyone that you don't like."

I took a step back. "No.. no thanks-"

Everyone would blame it on me, and my 'friends' wouldn't even like me anymore. Tree would hate me, Lollipop would leave me-

"I wasn't asking you a question, Flower. Stay with us."

I put down the knife.

"Is there more of you?.." I asked. I honestly didn't want to know, but-

"Yep. It's me, Fourteen, Pi, Six, Nine, Seven and Eight."

I fixed my skirt I was wearing.

"Fine. I'll join you."

"Good." Fifteen grabbed my arm and I put the knife away with my other hand.

She led me outside of Book's room, where everyone else was.

"We have a new addition to the team."

BOOK'S POV

I was trying to calm down, but- I couldn't.

My arm was bleeding, my legs hurt, and Price Tag was the only thing keeping me from running out of the van while it was still driving. We were in the back seat, And Gary was there trying to make me explain what happened, even though I didn't remember a thing.

"I- I SWEAR I DON'T R- R- REMEMBER!-" I said, trying to tell her I really didn't know.

"You sure? You don't remember anything after going upstairs?-"

"NO!-"

I was getting looks from everyone in the van, which made me even more uncomfortable than I was before.

"Well, it looks like someone bit your arm, you have bruises everywhere."

Gaty said.

"NO SHIT!-" I replied.

Price Tag chimed in.

"Hey, hey, calm down.. You don't need to yell." They said.

They wiped away one of my tears.

"BUT SHE JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND!- ALL I KNOW, IS THAT I WENT UP THE STAIRS TO MY ROOM, AND I BLACKED OUT. THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER. THEN I WOKE UP LIKE 10 MINUTES AGO!"

I took a few deep breaths, but it wasn't calming me down.

"AND THEN WE WERE EVACUATING? YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW SCARY THAT IS FOR ME!-"

I took a few breaths again, just because I was out of breath. Gaty tried to talk, but I cut her off.

"You're fi-"

"I AM NOT FINE!"

I yelled pretty loudly, which even made Pencil turn to look at me.

I suddenly regretted replying, and grabbed the blanket from my room that Price Tag brought in the car for me and hid in it.

"Book-"

Price Tag said quietly to me.

"You're okay.."
