Now here's the SECOND sneak peek to my newest story, 'Death to Escape'! I'm very proud of this one and I hope you guys like it!



I watched slowly as Vince hesitantly pulls the trigger. The cock of the gun pointed straight at his head beneath his dark purple hair.

Click!

That was the sound of complete failure. The sound of miss. The sound of defeat. The sound that tells me that I'm next. His whole body shudders in relief before placing the pellet revolver on the table. The neck was facing me and, as I leaned in to pick it up, I noticed something. The bullet was missing. That means it's next to be fired or it's halfway there. As I slowly pick it up, I turned it to exactly where I caught a small glimpse of where the bullet is. It's cheating, but, I did it so quickly that I don't think I was noticed. But the thing is, the smirk that grew from ear to ear on my face gave it away. Vince stared at me, confusion hidden in his bright red eyes, "Sherry..? What's so funny?" I shove the point of the gun deeper into my head as to leave a dent.

"I find it funny that everyone believed all my lies," My smile deepens at the memory and I can't help but release a small chuckle.

"W-What do you mean? Sherry, are you alright?" Vince stuttered, still trying to comfort me.

"You know how I was being all sweet and nice? Keeping everyone sane? Those were all lies, my dear Vince," Vince's eyes go wide. I rendered him speechless, "I only wanted to make friends with everyone just so I don't get voted off to kill myself. I mean, I knew how this game had to work. I would know because I'm the one who kept her memory. You guessed it, I'm the spy!" I broke out laughing.

"S-Sherry? You're the one who-" I cute Vince off,

"If you want to know a secret, I didn't like that blonde stealing my leadership, so I had to vote her to die. She can't be running around abusing my power when we all know she was the worst out of all of us. She was the bottom of the food chain!" I laughed, "And remember that 'know it all' Wisp? Too bad she had to die. I mean, we were great friends but she knew too much. She was on to me, and I swear, you guys denied her facts! You should've listened and maybe we wouldn't be here now, would we?" I cupped my chin with my free hand as I remembered Wisp's pleads, "Her cries were pitiful once I killed her. Such a shame.."

"Y-You monster!" Vince shouted at me. I cocked the gun and stood up. The chair making a squeaky sound as it slid back. My insane smile turned into a frown.

"No, my dear Vincey," I slowly took the gun pointed directly to my head through my red hair and turned towards Vince, my lime green eyes gleaming in victory. Vince's eyes widened in terror as I limply placed my index finger on the trigger, "I'm insane," I slammed my finger down, pulling the trigger. The night echoed at the sound of death as the bullet went through Vincent's hair, through his head, and it the other side. His head went limp and tumbled down onto the table. I cocked my head a bit and saw tears welled in his deathly, opened eyes, still showing signs of terror. What's done is done and I didn't want to die. I turned to look around the darkened forest, "WHERE ARE YOU!" I screamed out, "I survived, didn't I? So get me off this god-forsaken island!" My gaze landed on a sign of movement as the man in a white tuxedo with white hair and red eyes came out, clapping.

"Quite the show, Ms. Sherry, but sadly, you can't slip by me. I knew you cheated, so, as punishment, seeing that all the other contestants are dead," his gaze landed on Vince's dead corpse, "You'll be placed in another round." My eyes went wide. He noticed my anger and smirked, licking his lips. "Let's place a game, shall we?"
