The Killing Games

EP9: Hangmen

Jenna's POV

I was surprised hearing Wade was finally awake. The red team rushed into his room to check how he was doing.

When he arrived, he was unconscious and carried in by a group of soilders. His battle with Paris must had been been a real challenge.

London however was not taking this well. I didn't blame her. She was already depressed with her sister being forced to face Wade, now forced to deal with the death of her own sister. Must be traumatic.

London stormed out upon Wades entry, her sobs were often heard throughout the walls.And now two hours of slumber and finally Wade wakes to tell his tale..

...

How are you doing Wade? " I asked him. "What happened, why were you knocked-out? " Cody asked. Wade was lying in bed, rubbing sluggishly at his eyes. "Paris had drugged me with needles.."

I had many questions to ask.. I wanted to know how he.. How he killed her.. But it was to early to ask. I know Wade was still settling in... And he wasn't to fond of speaking on the murders that are taking place.

" I just want to rest now.." Wade said, turning on his side. "We understand... " Claire chimed in, patting Wades arm. "Let's give him space y'all.. " "Yeah.. " Cody. We exited the room.

Nikki's POV

I was guessing Claire wanted to speak to me in private. She was giving me looks and finally came up to me.

I've been having suspicious feelings towards Claire, ever since the day the teams were randomly changed. She still hasn't explained why, which makes her look even worse.

"I don't trust her as far as I can throw her" I thought in my head, as she lead me into a room to speak more in discreet.. I wonder what she wanted.

"Sorry, I just feel I need to talk to you.. " Claire began. "About what?"

"Well.. Look around, it should be obvious. Blue team took a hit and has sunken like the titanic.." Claire admitted crossing her arms.

"Adam is dead, Paris, dead... It's only three of us.. And Justine.." Claire paused. "do you see how he looks now? "I slowly nodded.. "Yeah, he looks stressed. "

"F*ck stressed, he is paranoid! " Claire exclaimed. "His head is out the game, and now he will do anything in his power to save his own skin.. Did you see what he did to Paris?! " She continued ranting.

"Yeah.. He basically got her killed. " I voiced out, making Claire shake her head in disbelief."He isn't going to play fair.. And I know I'm not looking as innocent in your eyes.." Claire said, making me shrug with agreement.

"But.." Claire paused. "We need to work together to keep Justine from sabotaging us in challenges.. There is no more Blue team.. It's 'Save your own ass day' , to him that is.. before we go crazy on each other..lets at least take the threat out OK? "

Claire had a way with her words.. But she was also correct. Justine would definitely sabotage one of us, to stay alive. We witnessed him do it the last challenge with Paris.
