Amarie looks from face to face. She remembers the list of the dead, and she chokes back tears.

"We're not done yet..." Bethany sighs.

Bethany
I'm just so tired already, at this point I kinda wish I was dead...

"Since Alec got touched by Octavia, that explains why his cards aren't out." Devon crosses his arms, tapping his foot on the ground.

"But what happened to Thomas? Was he killed by the Demon Dog?" Alexis asks, looking around for their guide, but he is nowhere to be seen.

"We can't worry about that now, what we gotta focus on is who's going up against Alec." Shangag cuts off Alexis's worries to get back to business.

Shangag
We don't have the time to be debating anymore, the hours are being finished quick. We need to finish!

"Who's gonna shuffle though?" Trey asks, since their guide isn't here.

"I can. Since I'm already in the challenge. Just put your cards in a pile face down and I'll shuffle and only pick one." Alec informs the group, they all done in agreement. They know Alec can shuffle cards without any trouble.

"Just go and vote. No discussion. Just do it." Amarie says as she's the first to vote. Selects a Daredevil card and places it face down.

"This sucks." sighs Devon as he waits for his turn to vote. Bethany selects a Gambler card while Alexis chooses a Daredevil card.

Everyone votes and Alec walks up to the cards and picks them up in his hand. He gives them a good shuffle before looking at the group.

"Ready?"

They all nod, Alec takes a deep breath and picks a card.

"The person going against me in the challenge is..."

Alexis crosses her fingers. Please let it be him.

"The Daredevil."

Devon clenches his first, then sighs.

"Of course." He shakes his head. He wants to be angry, but he can't. They voted him for a reason and that's probably to die against Alec. But he won't give anyone the satisfaction of killing him. He's going to win, one way or another.

"Alright man, it's you against me" Alec nods at Devon who nods back with a straight face.

"Let's get this over with then." Shangag stuffs his hands into his pockets, the others agree and they all head out of the church into the death challenge.
