5 Taken... 1 Escapes

Chapter 31: All Votes Are In!!

MatPat (Game Theory):

"James," I wrote and folded the piece of paper. Yes, I can't judge a book by its cover, but everyone else did a decent amount of work. Jaiden and Will were tied up, so they couldn't do anything, and Nate and I were trying to find those two. James said he was looking for them too, but things are too weird to think about small help. That wasn't "small help," but someone has to die, so I vote in James.

Nate (NateWantsToBottle):

          "Jaiden," I think as I pass her to put in my vote. After WIll's survival against Dawko, it would make sense for WIll to get captured, but why Jaiden? I don't mean to be sexist, but while I was unconscious, I think James did the most amount of work. It wouldn't be right to put Matt in, because he was passed out with me, and Will was just sad about his best friend's death, which I wouldn't object because that's exactly what I did a few weeks ago. If it would be Jaiden or James, I would choose Jaiden.

Jaiden (Jaiden Animations):

I stand and mix all the votes in my long dress train, and pick two. "James..." I pull out the next one and sigh. "And Jaiden." I sigh again as I meet James' gaze. He looked twice as worried.

We both sat across from each other, with a person behind us just in case one of us fall off the bed. I stare at James, hoping to get the point across that I was truly sorry for whoever is gonna die. He gave back the stare, and we both held hands. This is probably the last time we made contact with each other, so I made it count. I pulled him by the hand and gave him the biggest hug I could possibly give. One of us is gonna die today, and there is nothing that's gonna change it. He returned the hug, and I felt his tears combine with mine. I stare into his teary eyes, and he stares into mine. We just stared in silence until I felt Matt tap me on the shoulder. "You lovebirds stopping, anytime soon?" I turned, and he moved back. He knew I was harsh on that topic. There were many fanfictions about us being together, and I truly stand back from all those knick-knacks. I growl at him but laugh when I turned back to face James. I really don't know if he has a taste for me, but I kinda do. If one of us is gonna die, I should probably tell him now. (I'm so sorry... I just thought this would bring some jump to this episode. YouTuber ships are not my thing, and this one is the first one I've ever done, so I'm sorry. Now, back to the regularly scheduled program!)

"James," I say, getting some confidence in my words. His eyes meet mine once more, and I sigh. "You are an amazing friend. You've been there through tough times, and I appreciate you for that. Whoever dies, well, I wish them a great afterlife, either you or me." Even though I looked calm on the outside, aww man, my mind was freaking out on the inside. "The heck? Jaiden, you were supposed to spill your true feelings to James, not ramble of how great friends you were!!" Either way, James was touched. "I feel the same Jaiden. Let's just get this over with." I nod, and we both cheers for our last drink together.

James (TheOddOnesOut):

I drink a sip, and immediately I can recognize it's taste. "Medicine!" I say, and Matt stands, ready to have Jaiden's back. I turn to Nate, who's smiling, but then his expression changes. "Jaiden..." I say, turning back to my animation friend. She had her eyes closed and was still drinking. Or at least, it looks like she was drinking.
