I felt the cold metal bars radiate against my skin and I blew out a shaky breath.

I was done for.

My heart sank spasming in my core and sweat drenched my body.

All of a sudden I felt somebody yank my arm up and before I could even look my head slammed hard on the dusty ground.

"Wow, she actually made it through?" Foxx's voice puzzled into my ears.

"You're welcome" Rhapsody pulled me up by one arm.

I rubbed my eyes fluttering away the blurs making my sore head spin. Unveiling my lids I saw Rhapsody, Victoria, Ronnie and Elix surrounding me. But they were all holding hands.

"H-How-"

"We used your G.P.S idea" Victoria smiled.

I titled my head quickly regretting my decision once splinters of pain pierced into it.

"We all held hands knowing that once we teleported to you we would be scattered somewhere around you in the air, so once we were we dragged you up over the gate just in time" Rhapsody sighed deeply in irritation resting her head on her fingers.

"Oh" was all I managed to get out.

"Ok, I guess that's just about every contestant" Foxx clapped his hands and dust wafted out of the tall gates as they toppled onto the hundreds of people standing on the other side, withering their screams into an eerie silence.

"Foxx we needed at least another 20 more contestants we only have 50"King Cornelius exhaled deeply shooting Foxx a deadpan expression.

"Oh well, it's not like they can all win the vampire tournaments" his shoulders bobbed as he let out a boisterous chuckle, wiping away invisible tears from the corners of his eyes. "Only one of them can actually rule the throne of Eryx"

"What's Eryx?" I whispered.

"It's the rich side of the vampire realm its home to the royal family while Oryx is where the majority of the ordinary people live" Victoria explained.

"Finally now we can actually start, it's your time to shine Queenie" Foxx tossed his elongated microphone over to the Queen Kamaria and she rolled her eyes with a smile shaking her head at his nonchalant behaviour.

This guy was crazy.

"I bet you all think that I should be congratulating you all right now" she fluttered her feathery lashes letting her sultry voice trickle out of her plump scarlet lips. "But really this was just child's play and by no means tested any worthy qualities that we look for in the new King or Queen of Eryx, the only reason we did it was to cut numbers down, and for the sake of Foxx's entertainment" she flipped back some of her silky black hair, un-ravelling her shiny ebony complexion as she handed Foxx back the microphone.
