Roomscapes I - survive

Chapter 10 ~ Light

  ** ANGEL'S POV **

Wait, what!? I thought as a painful sting was felt through my body and a bright light that seconds ago filled the room turned into the darkest shade of black--if that's even a thing. Did she kill me? I wasn't really going to kill her, I was just playing around... or was I? Am I in heaven? It doesn't look like it here, it's kind of like a dark room with no light, and all my weapons are gone and I can feel that my suit was changed, replaced by a cleaner, much more comfortable one. What in the world just happened? I don't know, I have no idea--in fact-- what's waiting for me next, and I hope it's not a mad, annoyed girl who wants revenge... I'll take a dinosaur, just not a pissed girl... I've learned...

  ** VALENTINA'S POV **

   (several seconds ago)I was eating an apple waiting to see where to go next to find Angel when I felt the forest get a little bit lighter, like... bright-wise. I guess I might've ignored it, because seconds later I barely noticed it getting brighter and brighter and brighter until it was so white I was practically forced to make out the change. Followed by that, my stomach started hurting. Oh no, the first thing that occured to me was terrifying, shit, I think the apples were poisonous. Ugh damn it. But then, as I felt the feeling get stronger and the room start to get darker and darker and my heartbeat start to slow down and found myself thinking I was going to die I was going to die I was going to die, It all stopped, and I was in a tube similar to the one before the games, in a dark room, all around me survivors from the games, their faces some more confused than others. I was surprised and somewhat happy when I spotted Nicole, and I could tell, so was Adriana. Oh my god. My spirits began to light up. Maybe I did have a chance, maybe I did...

  ** NICOLE'S POV**

Damn, I died. Great. Now I can't save Valentina or save myself. I wanted to bang my dead head against a wall. Just before I could make up something else about my dead head, a voice interrupted me--oh no, please don't tell me it's that ugly ass lady from before the games, damn was she annoying! Did she die too? Is that why she was here? Or maybe I just didn't die, and I felt that cold sting for no apparent reason. All I knew is that I was walking, looking for Valentina, and all of a sudden a sting made its way through my body and the room went white, then black. If this was death, it wasn't so bad... so far... "Young children, you are the twelve survivors of the Roomscapes I" What!? There were twelve survivors!? Did that mean this was over? So only fourteen people died! Well... not like only but oh my god! Yes! "The first part is over, but now it's getting harder, and you will have only one ally. Your mission?: Get through every room, it's a maze with puzzles and arenas. Last thing, Your ally will be listed on your tube, good luck fellow players, and remember: Survive" and the voice left along with any hopes of this being over. I rolled my eyes and carelessly looked at my screen. Who the hell is that?  I asked myself as I read the name on the screen, it read: Caitlynn.

 ** VALENTINA'S POV **

I looked at my ally and was totally relieved yet annoyed as I read "Adriana." Ugh. Whatever, at least I know her, right?   I looked at the list of survivors to my right, and it read: Salma, Valentina, Nicole, Parker, Angel, Adriana, Caitlynn, Austin, Carlos, Kristen, Kevin, and Maria. This was going to be fun,  I thought, clearly exhausted. I waited for the tube to move and something to happen, but...it didn't. So minutes went by, and I decided to just lean against the glass and rest for a little while. While I waited, I decided to sit down, my knees bent, now with my head and back against the thick glass. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed, trying to think of all the ways I could possibly die. After a while of doing this, I looked to my right, and saw the killer guy, sitting too, his thick blonde hair pressed against the glass pane. He looked my way, as if to ask why I was looking at him, and I realized I might've been looking at him for too long. I turned quickly and felt my face heat up. What the heck!?  I asked myself, What is wrong with you, I thought about looking his way and giving him a quick apologetic look, but immediately decided against it. I didn't have time to do anything else before the tube started moving down, and I stood up and so did the killer guy--whatever his name was. Why am I even paying attention to him? Geez... When the tubes stopped moving and the door opened, I only saw what I needed to see to start panicking. A room, weapons, players, and a scream that came from the most unexpected person...
