Chapter 3: What Happened

Chapter 3: What Happened 

Lamya

"This has gotten out of control Izaiah, you almost killed our king and our queen is still in a coma!" I hear Isabella say as she yells at her bother. I press my ear harder on the door just to hear them better. "Oh give it up Bella, you are a traitor!" I hear Izaiah yell. "Oh I'm a traitor? How the hell am I a traitor? I didn't almost kill our king and put our queen in a coma! The Neverworlds is slowly falling apart because the two people who keep it steady are dying! And you did that!"

"I didn't do shit! I had my player trick Rama's player and this is what happened. Who's the bitch who put that, "Kill Jack" shit in Rama's player head? Huh? Because it wasn't me Isabella." Izaiah yell. "I... I didn't think he would do it... I... I never have seen Andrew so anger..." I hear Isabella say. "See, you even know their names! They are noting to us Bella, they are players! Their job is to get to us, or get killed trying. And worse, you fell in love with him! And that is why you are the traitor."

I cover my mouth; Isabella broke the second rule of the Neverworlds, never fall in love with a human. But yet again, we all broke the first rule, to never play this game. There was a reason no one played this game, because it's almost suicided, if one of the players get killed, then the Givers die too. I wondered why the king and queen decide to break their own rule and play this game, it almost killed them, and it could still kill them. I couldn't even image losing Rama... I could already feel my heart break just thinking about it.

"Look, Izaiah, Andrew will wake up soon, right now, I'm the only one with him. Everyone else is gone. He did this for me. I have to go." Isabella says which is my queue to leave. I push my body off the door and start to walk back to the board to see Rama.

He was just looking at the board his hand in a fist. "Rama?" I ask which makes his head swing up and look at me. He gives me a weak smile, "Hey mama." I feel my legs shake once I hear him say my nick name to me. "What's going on?" I ask trying to keep my heart from racing. "I... I was just looking at the board." He says and looks at the board again. I walk over to him and look down with him. "Everyone... Is separated... How did this game go to shit?" Rama asks and looks at me. "How did this happen Lamya?" He asks.

I place my hand on his shoulder. "Rama, we knew what we gotten into once we started to play this game. It's dangerous, we knew that." I say and turn Rama around so he would be facing me. But he just put his head down so he couldn't make eye contact with me. "But... Our queen is in a coma... And our king was almost killed. I feel like this is my fault." I sigh and make Rama look at me, "Now now Rama, this is no one's fault, we all choose to play this game. All we can do now is wait and watch our players and hope their Summits will protect them." I say.

"But what if the queen doesn't wake up?" I hear him say which just makes me sigh, "Come Rama, I think you need to relax." I start to pull Rama away. "Beside Isabella is with one of the players, she'll tell us what happens." I say which makes Rama stop. "Why is Isabella with one of the players?" He asks and I close my eyes, I shouldn't have told him that. "I mean, she's watching a player, you know in her room, away from everyone."

I start to walk again and pull Rama but his to strong and pull me back, spin me till I'm looking at him. "Mama, what are you not telling me?" He says. I look deep in his eyes, they were hurting and I know he was scared. Finally I sigh, knowing I'm going to tell him what happened. "Fine Rama, you know that Izaiah's player used your player and... controlled him." I see Rama nod, "Yeah, I didn't watch after that, I was too pissed. What happened?" I move my fingers through my hair, "He... Had your player... *sigh* god this is so hard to tell you." I say feeling tears go into my eyes. "Lamya, tell me what happened, please." He says, his eyes screaming.
