The Killing Games

EP8: The Hospital

                   Justine's POV

The other day was a total joke. We lost another team challenge to the Red team. Paris has to face Wade at Judgement. She didn't stand a chance. We all knew she would be killed. However I didn't care for Paris.
Now that my team is sinking to shit, I have to look out for myself.

I heard a conversation between Claire and Jenna that London had a "strategy " to get by. She was pressuring her sister Paris to also flirt with me to string me along into helping her at challenges.I would never fall for such a thing... But here I was the bad guy..

I was surprised when Wade, Nikki, and also Cody asked me about what I had said about Claire were even true..In the living room we began debating...

"Claire did disappear for awhile.." Nikki said looking over at Wade.
"Exactly, we never had a switch in teams or anything odd, but the minute she steps out and returns, team members are being changed?.. " I paused, thinking .. "It doesn't make sense."

I needed these people to understand, I wasn't going insane... Claire did something in order for those switches..

Wade was scratching at his head, I can tell he didn't want to believe that Claire would do such a thing, but the odds are pointing directly at Claire.. She had nothing to prove.

"She did look guilty that day... And she looked kind of suspicious.." Cody finally admitted, looking over to Wade who was still processing.

Nikki nodded slowly."Jenna was with her too... Maybe Jenna knows something.. " Nikki blurted out, crossing her arms..Hmmm..
"Well I'm going to try to figure this out.. " I said, leaving them to think on this.

                       Cody's POV

I was laying in my bed with London at my side, our heads resting on the pillows as we look into each others eyes."I can't believe Claire would say such a lie.. " London said to me, holding my hand.I wrapped our hands together and nodded sadly

"Yeah me to.. " I admitted. "I thought me and her were getting along well.."."Yeah but I wouldnt be so sure.." London told me, looking deep in my eyes.

"I like you.. And I want us both to make it out of here alive... It would be a love story if we can survive this... " London cooed, making my heart blossom.

"Yeah we'd be a power couple.. " I added making her smile."When we get out of this.. Promise me you and I will move together?... " London told me, looking deep at me.

I gripped her hands, feeling warm."I promise you... " I replied in a serious tone..London shook her head in disappointment.." Claire is desperate now.. She even did something for the Game to get you switched.."

I nodded finally accepting reality.. "Yeah.. Your right she did.. She isn't looking so good right now.. Nobody is trusting her.. " I said.

"How are you and your sister coping with her versing Wade..? " I asked. I know I must have struck a nerve, her eyebrows winced, and she sat up from the bed, I sat up as well, wrapping my arms around her shoulder.

"I'm sorry for asking.. " I blurted out.
She began wiping under her eyes. " I can't see my sister dieing.. I can't live without her.. " London sniffed shaking her head in denial.

"It's always us.. I won't be use to it.. " London added astounded."You sound like you think she will die.. " I told her..She sighed in tears.. "Babe.. Wade is a beefy guy.. And he's strong and fast.. " London went on..

" It would take a miracle for Paris to beat Wade... " She said."You never know what could happen.. " I tried to assure her."Don't count her out just yet.. And don't dwell on it too much.." I said, giving her a firm hug.."I need to go talk to her now.. Thanks for the advice baby boy. " Said London.I smiled, and she gave my lips a peck before exiting my bedroom..
