Devils Game

Chapter Seventeen | Deciding Death

(Before the chapter starts I want to say that this chapter has explicit description on violence, and explicit language so please dont complain you have been warned!)

"Well... thanks." I say to my brother, Connor.

"Of course. Anytime." he says awkwardly.

"Dont let that full you. Next game you have to choose between who dies; its me. You got that?" I say, my finger in his face.

He nods painfully, and I know that he means it. The next game I get to die. Leave this place, wherever this place is. I shake the thought off and walk forward through the door and into a hallway.

"Great." I say, thinking back to wear I found the head the last time I had to go through a hallway.

"This way," Connor says, taking my arm and slowly leading me toward the door on the far side of the hall. He stops me right outside the door and looks painfully into my eyes, "I'm sorry. I did it for you."

"I know you are. Id like to think I would do the same thing for you, but that doesnt meant that I would. Or if its the right thing to do." The look on his face changed from sorrow to shock, and I knew that I had hurt him. Might make it easier for him to kill me, I think to myself.

"Lets go." I say, and press onto to the door. Immediately a gust of wind springs onto my face and Connor and I separate and get pulled into the room of darkness.

"Abby! Abby?! Where are you?!" I hear Connor yell to me.

"Connor?! Connor Im over here!" I yell back at the top of my lungs.

"Abby is that you?!" I hear a different voice yell out. Ashton?

"Ashton?! Ashton! Is that you?!" I scream back.

"Hey over here! Someone he-help me!" I hear Justin's voice.

"Justin?!" I scream.

Ashton, Justin, Connor, and me all in the same room? Are these the only people left? Is it getting towards the end? Am I going to make it out alive? Wait. Who's gonna die next. No. No, no, no, no, no.

"Guys!" I yell out into the darkness while my body is being flung left and right. No response.

After a few more minutes of screaming into the darkness and being flung around seemingly at the speed of light, I get thrown on the ground and my back hits against cement.

"Ugh!" I yell out, my back screaming in pain because of the cement. I stand up and its still pitch black, "Hello?!" I yell out.

"Abby!" I hear Ashton's voice, a lot closer than I expected it to be.

"Oh my God, Ashton! Is that you?!"

"Yes, yes! Abby its me! Im over here!"

"Oh my God, are you okay? Whats happening?"

"I have no idea, are you okay?!"

"Hey what are you two doing here?" I think I hear Justin's voice yell.

"Beats me." Connor's voice booms.

"What's happening? Why are you all here?" I say, not really towards anyone. There has never been a game involving four people.

"U-uh... Abby? Ashton? Justin? Is that you?!" Oh my God. Thats Daren.

"Daren? Holy shit is that you?! What are you doing here I thought that you left when you dropped us off at the club?!"

"I did. But Ashton took some money out of my wallet so I came back and asked around for you guys! I went upstairs into a room and saw everyone passed out and next thing I know I wake up in a room, and went through all these crazy trials!"

"Godamn it can someone please just turn on the lights!" I hear Ashton yell in frustrations.

Bad choice. The lights suddenly flick on and the only thing that I see is all of my friends. All of my dead friends. On the floor in front of me. Val's head, perfectly placed in front of me.

"Oh my God!" I scream out, crying. I clench my eyes and begin to hyperventilate, looking at the bloody  or burnt bodies in front of me. I begin to shake and drop down to my knees, my body tied by ropes to the cement podium I crashed into.

"Abby, Abby dont look!" Ashton yells to me, I can hear him struggling in his ropes trying to break free, probably trying to get closer to me, "Abby! Listen to me and just listen to my voice, okay? Just dont look, everythings gonna be okay, youre gonna be okay!"

I listen to him and keep my eyes shut, and just cry. Theres nothing else I really can do.

"Welcome to the next game! Its been a while since I've talked to all of you. This game is gonna be fun, I promise. Im done coming up with crazy contraptions to kill you all, so Ive decided to just let you do the killing! Justin, Connor, you'll be good at this."
   "Anyways, heres how the game works. Everyone take a look at the cement podium you are tied to. Each has four buttons, each a different color; red, blue, green, and yellow. Now, take a look at the dead person in front of you. The color of their shirt is your button's color."

I cant look. Not at Val, not at any of them. "You will be given five minutes for every one of you to press a button. Lights off after five minutes, and the person with the most buttons pushed dies! Have a fun game! Hopefully see you in the next round."

Shit.
