The Wheel

35. Veronica

"Oh God! Kate!" I was running toward my friend. "No! No!"

There is so much blood! Mike might have broken her skull. God! We need to do something! I start screaming.

"You damn psycho!" Chris shouted.

"I did what she deserved," replied mad Mike.

Chris punched Mike and the boxer fought back. The fight started.

"No, not that!" Emma yelled.

"We need help! Kate needs help, she's bleeding!" I screamed at the screens. "Do something! Miguel! David! Sam, damn it, why are you standing there?!"

"You know, Mike is right," David said.

"Screw you!" I scolded. "You don't know anything!"

"So tell us, Veronica," Miguel asked me, "why is Kate so evil?"

"She's just a bitch!" David declared. "End of story!"

"What? Does she have a lame brother that is abusing her or her parents were murdered by lowlifes and she had to survive in the streets in her childhood?" Miguel insinuated.

"I don't know! Honestly, I have no idea, but it doesn't matter now! Kate needs help!" I was yelling. "Emma! Sam?"

Emma glowered at Kate and slapped herself in the face again.

"Again? What's wrong with you?" I was beyond surprised by what was happening.

My boyfriend was in shock and had no clue what to do.

I looked back and saw Mike and Chris fighting; I wanted to scream something to them, but I didn't know what to say at all.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I put my palms on my face. Why is this happening? Why?! Why?!

"Ms. Spears, Ayama said to me, "get away from Ms. Lims."

"What?" I looked up at the ceiling.

"Ms. Spears, get away from Ms. Lims," she repeated word for word.

I walked up to Sam and was looking at Kate. Suddenly the screens she was lying on started to go down.

"Where are you taking her?!" I asked. "Will you help her?"

Sometime later the screens Kate was lying on got back up. There was no blood on them, and they were perfectly clean!

"We will all die!" I screamed thinking for a second that I've heard this cliché phrase a million times in movies and TV series. "She wants us to kill each other off! Ayama is going to get rid of us one by one!"
The guys who were standing next to me started to look at each other fearfully.

"What, you became even more scared?!" I asked and continued crying.

Sam hugged me and was trying to stroke me down. For a second I thought that one of us would have to kill the other and I began panicking and screaming!
