Survival of the Fittest: Save Yourself {Completed}

"Get up!" A voice yelled loudly into the room. "Time to go upstairs!" I sat up, waking Ash, and we walked up to the door, along with the rest of the group.

"What's going on?" She whispered.

"Just stay with me, and don't do anything stupid." Everyone was taken upstairs. The walk looked as if it's never been touched. The big doors open for everyone to enter, and almost the exact same thing. Nothing looked to be moved, but it seemed some of the bales of hay were replaced with big boxes. Once the doors slammed I grabbed Ashley's arm and ran over to a corner in the arena and sat us behind a high bale of hay. "Alright, just stay put." A pile of blades showed up next to me and I grabbed them, talking them in my left hand. I looked up to see if anyone was out. I could breafly see two heads peeking out, but hide back again. I saw what seemed to be one of the new comers. I threw a knife near them, hitting the wooden wall next to them instead. They screamed out of shock, and at that moment, three or four knives were thrown, hitting and killing one of them.

"What was---" I covered her mouth quickly.

"Shh, if anyone hears you you're dead." I removed my hand and looked out. I could hear the quietest of sobs, coming from around the previous area. I chucked a knife that way, and heard more screams, then silence. Two different screams could be heard. For some odd reason, Trent stuck his head out and I took the advantage. I handed everyone else their kills, and now it's my turn. I threw the weapon at him and hit him square in the forehead. There were almost inaudible gasps, followed by a loud thud.

"Final throws!" Someone had said throw a speaker. I looked down to see the only knife I had was in my right hand. I stood up, but made sure Ash stayed, and walked out. The rest did the same. We all stood in a wide circle, all but the two new ones, and Ashley. It was almost like an unspoken rule, at this point. Emma threw one at Fanta who ducked and it missed. Fanta threw one at Emma that got close enough to her face it cut across even though she moved. Then Hunter and Justin through theirs at me and mine at Hunter. Hunter's missed completely, and mine cut deep across his arm as he went to dodge it. Justin's hit me, however. As I threw mine at Hunter, Justin threw his and hit me in my left shoulder. I looked down at it, then back at Justin. I grabbed the blade and pulled it out with little to no pain, then threw it at his head. Though, it disappeared as it was about to make impact.

"You're next my friend," I pointed. The big doors opened, letting blinding light fill the darkened room.

"Let's go! Back downstairs!" They yelled. I called for Ashley to come with, and the other 6 followed. We got back to the barn-like area and were locked in, again. Dean jumped up and down, happy to see me. I knelt down and gave him the love he needed. I could hear and breafly see Alex and Emma doing the same. The 2 new ones were in a corner upstairs talking, as Justin and Hunter were talking at the bottom of the stairs. I walked over next to Ashley, who was sitting on the floor, with Dean and sat next to her.

"You good Ash?" I asked. Her face was paled, eyes blown wide from shock.

"Yeah," she said, and I could swear I saw the smallest, and devilish, grin. Just the corner of her lips though. Dean must have seen it too, because he gave a low but quick growl.

"Okay," I told her like nothing was wrong, though I knew something was up. "And just so you know, and are ready, but we go again tomorrow then have a break."

"How do you know that?" She asked, looking up at me.

"Cause I've done this before?" I ask more that told. She should've known this. I told her all this the day she showed up. I thought to myself. I look at Dean, and we both give a look of confusion.

"Oh," she paused, "right. Sorry I, forgot."
