Immortality (Sequel to Apprentice)

Chapter 26: The Survival Games: Survival of the fittest

Note: Finally uploading again! This book is definitely getting some action going! Again, the death count is at the end, as well as who died, who killed them and how many are alive.

Mexxy's POV

So this was why Ridge enjoyed the survival games...it had no dull points-there was always something going on. The entertainment never stopped...watching loved ones plot to kill each other, urging people to fall into traps, laughing as someone was caught unexpectedly by an arrow or a sword in the throat...I needed to hold these more often. 

"Exciting, isn't it?" a voice murmurs behind me. "Indeed" I reply. The sun was beginning to come up, casting a warm glow across the world. I smiled-I owned the sun. I owned the moon. And I owned all these pathetic little lives below me. Of course, they never worshipped me like the God I was. 

"Enjoying it?" the voice says again, the figure joining me. "So far. But I think...I think a little entertainment is in order..." I smirk, glancing at him.

Deamon grins back, nodding. "I can sort that out for you" he chuckles.

I turn back to the balcony, sighing as I lean over. "The sun is beginning to rise-I should get back before they realize I am missing" Deamon sighs, before taking off into the air and turning invisible. Soon he would be back with his pathetic little "friends and family". 

Soon they would discover the truth...

Laughter bursts out my mouth, before I can stop it, and it turns into a full fledged cackling. Oh, I loved the survival games. 

Robin's POV

I felt something shift beside me and I stirred groaning. I opened my eyes against the sun's dim glow, and smiled when I saw Deamon next to me. He opened his eyes slowly, turning to smile at me. "Morning, beautiful" he purrs, kissing me on the forehead. I flush, leaning onto his arm. "Morning" Ridge says, and I burst into giggles. Deamon scowls at Ridge who winks back. "You're in high spirits this morning" Tia notes sleepily from Ridge's lap. "My family is here, darling, what's not to be happy about?" Dad murmurs, taking his arm off my shoulder to stroke Tia's hair. "Your family is here in a giant globe where we all need to fight to the death till one remains. I think there is a lot to not be happy about" Mum says bitterly.

"We can worry about that later. We are a team, nothing can get past us" Dad says confidently. "Only one can remain" Mum mumbles. "Not in front of the kids, hm?" Ridge whispers, though we can all hear him. Mum lapses into silence, still curled up on Ridge's lap.

"Well, we should get moving. I bet Mexxy will show who died" Deamon says, pulling away from me. I lurch after him, smiling as he picks me up effortlessly and helps me walk. We all climb outside the tree, clinging onto the branches, and sure enough, Mexxy's voice crackles on the speaker. 

"Good morning everyone! Here are the fallen of yesterday..."

The first picture to appear is Kim, killed by Mitch. We were all pretty tense wondering if our friends had been killed-I hadn't gotten along well with Kim, so I was fine. Next on show was Turpz killed by Teep, and Parv killed by Lewis. It wasn't a shock that Teep had murdered someone-he usually did. But Lewis was usually so kind and wise...why did he kill someone?

The next pictures were Ryan from Team Crafted killed by Sky, which was no surprise. Sky was incredibly blood thirsty sometimes, and I hoped I wouldn't have to cross him in the dome, and then Tato killed by Panda. Panda was never usually so blood thirsty...I mean...he was a panda!

Panda killed by Ashley, Ashley killed by Nilesy, Nilesy killed by Liam-talk about revenge! Liam wasn't the type to kill people...then again he was the partner of the pvp legend, Mitch-I guess it had to be expected.
