"Wattpad Featured Author presents: 'One of Us Will Die (Who's Next?)'
In this gripping mystery/thriller novel, Damien and Bethy's love story transcends time, fueled by faith and bound together by fate. But their destiny is entwined in a sinister gam...
It's been two weeks since Milo's death incident and the conversation between me and Austin.
The school hosted a funeral for milo while investigations have been made on the incident but no one knows what happened, well that was except the Eleven of us yet we also could'nt fully comprehend the twits events.
Healing has been hard for everyone and it was no doubt that milo has been a great part of their lives, Mandy has been finding it hard to digest the fact that her brother was gone but with her parents and Max being there for her, she's been coping well.
The Ten of us were once again gathered together at the boys' dormitory but in a secluded area as usual, We were all quiet, and no one dared to make a sound, that was until Greg deided to end the silence by saying.
"Who's next?"
"Not that fucking game again" Max said in anger while hugging Mandy close to his chest.
"Who's next?" Elijah repeated, seeming to be in some sort of trance,
"He who starts it must end it, for there is no way to suffice the deep hunger within me, friend or foe shall not survive, the prophecy shall be proven wrong by me. I rule, dominate, and control." Elijah said, and my forehead ceased in Confussion at the things he just worded.
Once he said all that, he seemed to snap out of the trance he was sucked into. The confused face of the others confirmed that i was not running mad, and Elijah indeed said all that
"What the hell was that?" Lily questioned, but before anyone was able to reply, Elijah interrupted by pointing towards me while saying.
"Number four," the player identified as Veronica must break her arms, and at least five fingers must be broken. She has fifteen minutes to do so, or death knocks on her door. "
"Fucking bullshit!" Austin exclaimed
what the fuck!
"You have to do it," Greg said.
"No fucking way, she is absouletly NOT doing that" Austin said as he stood up to walk over towards me, he stood protectively in front of me and the little action warmed my heart.
I thought about this whole thing, everything that has happened is definately not a coincidence and the only logical explanation is the game, If we were really stuck in a dangerous game then i'll have to do this and as much as i wanted to panic, I did'nt have time for that.
"i have to do this", i said while shoving Austin away, i looked around for something that was hard enough to break my arm, oh god i'm planning on breaking my ar but i have no other choice than to do that, i sure as hell did'nt want to die right now.
fifteen minutes,
the clock was ticking.
"Vee, stop it." Austin said while dragging me by my arm, I tried pushing him away, but he was like a damn rock.
"Let me go!" i said as i hit his chest, i did'nt realise i was in tears till he pulled me towards his chest while hugging me tigthly, and it was just then that i realised he was shaking.
"Please don't do this, i can't bear to see you hurt again" he whispered sounding so vulnerble and i felt a tug at my chest, it felt like a spark that burned through my skin, The feeling went away as quickly as it came, and i wondered if i imagined it all.
"Austin, i have to do this. If i want to live, we'll figure the rest out later, okay?"
I somehow managed to pull away from him while Greg handed me a heavy stone. Closing my eyes, i gathered my courage as i used all my strength to hit my left arm.
The pain shot through my bones, and i saw my blood dripping all over the floor, leaving my torn skin exposed.
Once the pain of what i did fully registered past the shock, a pained scream escaped my lips, my hands hurt so badly that i could'nt even move my it.
Austin was beside me in a second, and he cupped my cheeks while saying.
"shhh, baby, it's okay, you'll be fine, breath for me, prescelto."
I felt myself being lifted off the ground as Austin carried me towards the school clinic, my injury wastended to, but i passed out as soon as they started working on my arm due to the severe pain i felt.
The last thing i saw was austin's face before losing consciousness. Well, at least he was here, and with that, i fell into a deep slumber
