One in the Chamber

DAY 4: HEART

NOV 5, 20XX

The death of Riley shook everyone to the very core, but especially Jessica, who was right across from her when it happened. 3 People were dead already. Even worse, Finn seemed satisfied by the death of Riley, a wide smile on her face as she sat against the wall in the same spot as yesterday.

"Ah~! So much more quiet and spacious with Riley not in my face 24/7~!" Finn tauntingly and happily remarked, getting an angry reaction from Jessica, who suddenly stormed over to Finn, blinded by rage, and kicked her in the face. Everyone yelped, and Darren ran up to hold her back.

Darren was panicking as he tried to calm Jessica down. "Woah woah, Jessica!" He yelled, hoping to get through to his little sister. "Calm down! I know you're angry and shaken, but getting violent won't solve this!". Jessica didn't seem to care as she yelled at Finn, her voice cracking as tears flooded her eyes.

"You unfeeling, sociopathic BITCH! Riley DIED and you don't CARE!? You haven't given a single care for ANYONE EXCEPT YOURSELF! You're a narcissistic, self-centered ASSHOLE, and you deserve EVERYTHING YOU HAVE COMING FOR YOU!" Jessica screamed as Finn rubbed her jaw, her mouth bleeding as she stood up. Jessica eventually stopped struggling, and Darren let her go, only for Finn to suddenly grab Jessica by the collar and pull her closer, an evil and angry look on her face.

"You... little... SHIT..." Finn muttered through gritted teeth. Everyone went pale, their blood running cold as Finn showed anger for the first time in the last 3 days. "You should learn to hold your damn tongue, Jessica... I'm not above taking a life to whittle down the competition, y'know... now FUCK OFF..."

Finn threw Jessica to the ground, wiping blood off her chin and brushing off her jumpsuit, before sitting back down and growling. Everyone was in stunned silence at Finn's sudden aggression. Darren wanted to cave her skull in right now, but Charles grabbed his shoulder and shook his head, a worried yet angry look on his face as he stared at Finn. Emma helped Jessica get up, giving Finn a nasty look, before bringing Jessica, who was sniffling and crying, to the other side of the room, whilst Finn did not give a damn. 

Damian walked up from the crowd and kneeled next to Jessica tilting his head as he patted hers. "Yo... you good? That was a pretty rough fall... and... I'm sorry about Riley. Finn deserves everything she has coming for her..." he said, his eyes narrowed as he bit his lip. Jessica sniffled and glanced at him. 

"Why are you helping me...? You've never once shown your face to us until now..." Jessica spoke up, confused. Damian simply chuckled, before placing an arm around her.

"Well, I couldn't just watch as a lovely lady such as yourself got thrown around like that~" he said in a sickeningly sweet voice. Darren gave him a stink eye for that, and Emma's eye twitched at the obvious attempt to take advantage of Jessica. Charles was too focused on Finn to really care at the moment, and Finn was just chuckling at the situation. The next round was announced, being Damian vs Darren. The two looked at each other, and Darren was visibly eager to get rid of this manipulator.

The round began, and immediately, as Damian pulled the first trigger, he got a live round, causing everyone to flinch at the record breaking death of Damian. Though the sound spooked them, nobody except Jessica really cared, as he was a creep anyways. Darren got up and simply walked past the body of Damian, whose head was in messy, bloody pieces, skull shards all over the room from him and the other victims. 

The voice over the speaker began, being cutesy, feminine and childlike, speaking up in a giddy tone. "Oh, well done, my little toys~! The first four contestants are out~! 16 remain, and the games can REALLY begin now~! It'll only get worse from here~!" the voice called, before turning off the speaker. Nobody seemed to know who it was, though they were all familiar with it. Finn even stopped acting smug when she heard it. Nobody knew who or what that voice belonged to, but it was something they all loosely recall hearing, though they can't tell exactly where.

Jessica simply sat down, with Emma by her side, patting her on the back as the clock struck 7 PM, meaning it was time to go to bed.
