Continue His Game (HFJONE Host Liam AU, Updated when motivated lmao)

Chapter 6: Detached | Amelia

The sky of the plane seemed grey

I get up from my bed, anxious at something here that feels different than on earth. You have things to distract you from whatever can hurt you back home. Here, you don't get that luxury. Charlotte was sleeping peacefully across the room, since she didn't have a hut before she... yeah. So I offered to allow to sleep in mine. I head to the door, taking one last glance at Charlotte before heading out.

Most of the contestants haven't gotten up yet, except for one. Bryce gives a short hand gesture to say hello. I come closer looking anxious, reasonably, because of our new host.

"Backpack is about to start a new challenge soon."

I give him a side glance, assuming we both have an understanding that Backpack is taking after Airy's job. I try to bring up a question to have at least something to think about.

"Bryce, what should we do once the competition starts."

"I don't know."

I look at Bryce with some worry. He readjusts and tries to explain.

"The less we do the better I suppose."

Bryce's eyes look back repulsively.

"If Backpack were to eliminate us like the previous host did, we would be sent back to our lives, back to earth..."

The rest of the contestants are showing up around us.

"What's even going to remain after that, Bryce! Almost 8,000 shifts had passed since we arrived here. What makes us think we even have any remnant of us existing back home."

Some fear creeps up my back again. I try to push it down and speak my mind,

"I feel like we've become so detached from the world that we wouldn't know how to live anymore."

Byrce just looks over the Plane again.

"Bryce, I think we just need to carry on... as far as we can."

We both try to think about another topic while we wait in silence.

I look over my shoulder, I see Charlotte waking up so I head over to her.

"Hey.. Amelia, thanks for.. letting me.. uh stay over."

"Yeah! No problem Charlotte, I hope you slept well!"

"Oh uh.. yeah I did, thank you.. again."

She awkwardly smiles for a bit, then shifts to look away.

The Plane felt uneasy, we were distracted. We know what's about to happen. Yet we can do nothing to stop it. But, we've done this before, with Airy, we can do it again. Can't be much worse right?

...

Time passes, the clock ticks count down until,

The same voice comes from the sky.

"It's time for the next challenge."

All of this didn't make sense, why did Liam want this. Why does he want to make us suffer again? I look up towards the sky and call out his name..

"Liam!"

The microphone is heard again.

"Hm, What is it Scenty?"

My voice falters.

"Wha- MY NAME IS NOT SCENTY, Liam! IT'S AMELIA!.. you know that.."

..

"Right, Liam?"

..

"Look, I know you're still hurt from Airy but you don't have to do this!"

I hold myself back.

"Please don't let us continue to.. ..suffer.. like how we did before. If you're going through something.. Please, tell us.. won't you..?"

.....

Bryce and Charlotte stood behind me. Bryce heads forward where he confronts the host in the sky.

"Backpack, if you won't let us help you.. then what's the next challenge."

Bryce had given up on Liam.

"Bryce what do yo-"

Then, Backpack voice returns..
