THE PRINCESS RACE | ZB1 RICKY FF

8.

Matthew snunk into the control room as quietly as possible, once the staff members went on break. He looked around seeing the main producer's table unattended. Walking quickly over it, Matthew rummaged through the table. Seeing the script, car keys and other useless documentation. Matthew sighed in frustration. He digged through the pockets of his staff assigned tracksuit revealing a small technical bug, placing it under the table of the producer. Matthew walked out of the room as fast as possible.

Elise felt time stop as her wristwatch brought light to the room the contestants were in, many stopped in confusion while others in plain bewilderment.

"Elizabeth is the first one through to the next round, after cracking the code to this complex elimination." Hanbin stated as Sang Zhi nodded looking at the camera "Elizabeth is proving to truly be a strong game player, looks like we should be on the watchout for her now."

Quànrui sat up straight as Zhanghao looked at the monitor shocked, jaw dropped in pure confusion "That was the plot twist?" Zhanghao said as Quànrui shrugged "That's why the stairs were a advantage."

Elise smiled as she saw on the clock there was 10 seconds left, Rahne pushed an unsuspecting contestant out of the way as she ran to the stairs, connecting her wristwatch to it.

"Contestant Rahne is through to the next round." The intercom ringed out as Elise sighed, looking over at a relieved Rahne right across from her. Jeongeui sat down quietly connecting her wristwatch to the stairway.

"Contestant Jeongeui is through to the next round." The intercom ringed out as Quànrui looked at the monitor uninterested, Zhanghao gulping down nervously.

After a while 10 contestants were eliminated leaving 15 contestants left.

Quànrui appeared on the monitor as the contestants bowed in respect. "Well done contestants you've survived your first elimination , keep going as the race gets more intense from here." Quànrui said, his usual smirk planted on his face as Elise scoffed softly.

Later that night, Elise couldn't sleep. Her dreams consisted of her father marrying her off to farmer John in their home, another dream in farmer John's home and another one in a remote farm with the pigs being her bridesmaids.

Elise sat up straight slightly shivering from such terrible dreams. Looking at her dark room in boredom, Elise eyes drifted to her balcony and the bright moon shining, standing up Elise shuffled to the balcony her polyester slippers making the most noise in the room. Elise looked at the moon which seemed bigger than usual, smiling faintly her eyes drifted down to the large backyard which made her grin.

Hugging her tracksuit jacket to her body, Elise walked through the large backyard. It was as big as a golf course even bigger if Elise had to wrap her head around it. Sighing loudly, Elise started to hum her favourite song.

Someone seemed to be walking steadily behind Elise and she only seemed to notice when she heard someone shuffle behind her. Elise's heart dropped and her hands unconsciously formed into fists. Feeling someone's demeanour move closer, Elise was ready for anything.

Turning around unexpectedly, Elise's fist connected to someone's eye. He fell to the ground and Elise jumped on top of him, sitting securely on his stomach, she was about to punch him again until she recognised that blinding white hair.

It was Prince Quànrui
This wasn't good.
