Chapter 16

***Third Person's POV***

All five of the remaining guys were sleeping on chairs, they had their arms and legs strapped to the seats making sure they weren't able to escape. Aaron was the first one to fidget around getting ready to wake up. Aaron awoke from his slumber afraid looking at his new surroundings that he did not recognize at all. "Where am I? What am I doing in here?" He said out loud trying to wake the others from their deep slumber. Aaron notices that two out of the seven went missing Dillon and Johnson, and he started to ponder as to what had happened to them. Then out of nowhere, a masked persona walks to where they are and Aaron becomes scared. They all awaken from their slumber and they are afraid with the exception of Gilinsky. "I guess you guys are wondering what happened to the other three that are missing, Dillon and Johnson are dead, while Beth is in a different room, and she will be going through the same things you guys will be doing." Said the masked persona. "Where are we?" Asked Sammy. "Well since you guys are the top five, I decided to test you on your skills, so you will be answering questions, and the first person to answer to get three questions wrong will be the one to seal their fate with death." Said by the masked one. "What will the questions be based on?" Asked Shawn. "They well be academic questions each round will be a different topic, each round will be held in a different room, and each round someone will die. This round will be math." The masked person pressed a button which freed the arms on the boys, allowing them to use them to do the problem on paper; but made a collar appear and wrap around their necks, meaning that choking would be the cause of death this round."The first one up is Sammy, your question is, twenty multiplied by fifty, divided by five, add two, subtract six, multiply by three, add eight, and finally divided by two." Said the masked person."The answer is is one hundred and eighty-two." He responded with. "I'm sorry, but that is incorrect, that means you have one strike." Responded the masked person with. Sammy collar around his neck got tighter. "Jack your question is, twenty-six multiplied by three, subtract six, add two, and finally divided by six." Said the masked person. He replied with," Is it eighty." "Sorry but that is incorrect, that gives you one strike." With that Gilinsky's collar got tighter as well. "Aaron your question is , eighty-nine multiplied by six, divided by five, subtract three, and finally add six." "I think that it is one hundred." He said without confidence. "I'm sorry but that is incorrect." Aaron's collar also got tighter. " Okay Shawn it is your turn, your question eighty-nine divided by five, add two, multiplied by six, and finally subtract three." "The answer is twenty-six point eight." He said without hesitation. "Shawn that is correct." He was relieved that his didn't get any tighter. "Jacob your question is ninety-six multiplied by three, divided by nine, subtract five, and finally add two." "I'm going to take a wild guess and say twenty- seven." He said. "That was close, but sorry that is incorrect, one strike for you." And Jacob's collar got tighter as well as most of them. "Okay Sammy now it's your turn your question is seventy-eight divided by six, multiplied by five, subtract nine, and finally add three." "The answer is fifty-nine." He said. "That is correct." "Jack your question is, sixty-nine minus nine, divided by five, add nine, and finally multiply by five." It takes him a bit when he finally answers with,"The answer is one hundred and twelve point two." He says without confidence. "Jack that is correct." "Aaron your question is, ninety-eight divided by five, multiplied by six, minus nine, and finally add two." " I don't know, I'm not good at math so I am going to guess one hundred." He said. "Aaron that is incorrect, you have one more strike." Warned the masked person, and Aaron's collar got a little bit tighter. "Shawn your question is, eighty-eight plus nine, divided by five, subtract three, and finally multiply by four." He quickly responds with,"Seventy-seven points eight." He says with all the confidence. "Shawn that is correct." "Jacob your question is, eighty- nine divided by seven, multiplied by eight, subtract nine, and finally add three." He takes him time this time then he says, "I know the answer, it is ninety-five point seventy-one." "Jacob, that is correct." "Now that we are in the third round, the questions will be harder. Now Sammy your question is, one hundred and eighty-nine divided by thirty-six, multiplied by ninety-six, subtract thirty-six, and finally add two." Warned the masked one. He hesitates to answer but he says, "Is the answer four hundred and ninety. "I'm sorry Sammy that is incorrect, which leaves you with one strike left." What was the masked one had informed him. "Jack your question is, one hundred and twenty-three divided by ninety-eight, add sixty-nine, subtract twenty-five, and finally multiply by sixty-five." "I'm going to take a wild guess and say two hundred." He says with hesitation. "I'm sorry Jack, but that is incorrect, you only have one more strike left as well." Was informed just like Sammy, by the masked one. "Aaron it is your turn, if you get this wrong, it will be the end of the road for you. Your question is eighty-nine add thirty-six, divided by sixty-five, multiplied by ninety-eight, and finally subtract fifty-five." He looks scared for him life, but then he says,"Is the answer eighty." "Aaron I am sorry but that is incorrect, this is the end of the road for you." What was what the masked person informed Aaron about. "Please say your final goodbye to the remaining four." "I love you all, and I wish the best as to who ever makes it out of here, you deserve it. Again I love you guys, and don't let my death set you guys back, try your hardest with all of these challenges. One final request, I want you to take off your mask, I want to know who is going to be the person to end my life." With that the masked person took of the masked and it turned out to be Beth. All they guys were in shock to know that this girl who they thought was innocent and sweet, was behind all of this. Beth pushed a button which let Aaron's legs free, and they pulled him up into the air, which then tighten the collar to max potential. The guys couldn't do anything about it, but just watch as their friend was struggling to breath, soon after his body went limp, and the rest of the guys were knocked out ready to be moved into the next room, of this awful game.
