"Felix!" The British woman known as Minx shouted once again.

"Oh my God! I can't believe it! You two are here! You're- You're alive!" Felix exclaimed.

The three all ran together, embracing in each other's arms.

"Yeah! You didn't think we'd die so easily, did you?" The other woman, known best as Krism, asked with a small laugh.

Felix pulled away from the other two, and noticed the held tears in their eyes, and wide smiles on their faces.

"I-I thought we were all alone now, but, but, then you all showed up and-" Krism explained, unable to continue what she was saying because the tears were flowing so steadily.

"Wow, you guys must have been through a lot. You'll have to tell me later." Felix confirmed with a nod of his head.

For a moment, Felix could have sworn he saw a guilty, stiff expression go across the girls' faces. He wasn't sure exactly why, or even if what he saw wasn't just a trick of the eyes.

"Hey Felix!" The blonde heard a voice shout from down the hall.

Felix turned his head around to catch sight of the body belonging to the voice, which happened to be Shane whom was peeking his head around the hallway's corner. "You and your friends might wanna see this." The American encouraged.

"Yeah, alright." Felix agreed, before recalling he had left Anthony alone in the room his best friend had left his last words in. "Can you just wait here a minute so I can go get Anthony? I kind of left him back there..." He asked, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. The action sounded a bit more selfish in his head than it had been when he'd done it.

"Yeah, go ahead." Shane replied.

Felix walked down the hallway and towards the room Anthony currently resided in. It was during this journey that a dark, sickening thought entered his mind.

If there were people inside the conference building that were still alive
...
That meant
...

They had to of killed someone in order to have won and survived.

The moment the idea processed in Felix's mind he felt sick to his stomach. He felt a weakening in the knees so badly he had no choice but to slide down the wall and take a seat on the floor.

He was in a building with known murderers.

Two of his friends had...killed someone.

"Felix! Is that you?" Anthony shouted, having heard Felix collapse from inside the dressing room.

"U-Uh...yeah." Felix forced himself to speak.

"Are you okay?" Anthony asked.

"I'm fine!" Felix insisted.

He pushed himself up against the wall and into a standing position. He stumbled into the dressing room where he came face-to-face with a very concerned Anthony Padilla.

"Are you sure? You look pale." The brunette pointed out, sitting up as straight as he could in the chair he was sitting in.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go, Shane said there's something he wants to show us." Felix said in a hurried tone.

He leaned over and wrapped his arm around Anthony's body, assisting him to stand and then to walk. The two slowly made their way down the hall and back to the area where Shane, Minx, and Krism awaited them.

"Follow me." Shane demanded almost instantly.

The remaining four glanced at each other, silently asking what to expect though no one knew the answer. Eventually the ran to catch up with the brunette up ahead. He lead them down a few hallways that were unfamiliar, at least to Felix. Soon enough Shane came to a halt outside of an opened door. Inside the door stood every other YouTuber, seemingly awaiting for the group to arrive. The tardy five joined the others, taking in the new surroundings. The room was fairly small, just barely able to contain the full group comfortably. There were three doors, all seeming to twist off into different buildings. What made this room different from any other in the building was the abundance of technology. There were about three regular computers, along with two laptops, and a few cameras scattered around.

"Woah..." Anthony whispered out, his eyes darting around.

"This must have been where they planned on having us edit videos and stuff." Joey pointed out.

"Was it open before?" Phil asked, looking towards Jon, Minx, and Krism.

"This door was in my groups' section of the building, but it was never opened to us, even after people started killing each other." Jon explained with a small shrug of his shoulders.

"Hey, guys...I think this camera has something from the convention on it." Minx interrupted the explanation.

The others turned their attention to the woman, whom was holding one of the stray cameras that did indeed have a video saved onto it.

"That's impossible! Supposedly no one's been in here for a long time, so..." Felix trailed off, thoroughly shocked by the new information.

The entire group was silent, stunned by what could possibly solve the question of who had trapped them inside in the first place, thereby earning their utter freedom.

"What are we waiting for? Load it on the computer!" Shane exclaimed, worry and excitement obvious in his voice.

Minx shuffled over to a computer and grabbed a connection wire, attaching it to a computer that apparently had been switched on this whole time. A message popped up onto the computer, asking the user whether she wanted to play the camera's contents. Minx pressed the small button that read "Yes" and everyone waited in anticipation.

The video began with a picture of Joey's face.

"Hello everyone! I am here in the coolest YouTube convention ever!" The blonde exclaimed, spinning around to reveal the convention building's main hall, which held many other YouTubers. "A bunch of you were here earlier, which was awesome, but for the people who weren't I'll explain a little bit. So, YouTube decided to hold a convention here a long time ago, but then a bunch of people tried to shut it down because of that big danger warning, I bet you all have heard that. So one of the YouTubers that were supposed to attend it actually designed this place to be safer so everyone could come here!"

Joey moved over to one of the windows, and ran his hand over the edges of steel that would most likely later turn into the steel plating over the windows now.

"It's kind of creepy, but at least it's safe. Even though I'm pretty sure nothing bad is going to happen."

A noise that sounded like a microphone getting too close to a speaker screeched, and Joey's head turned to face it.

"The big guy's gonna speak!" Someone shouted from off camera.

Just then the camera got shaky, and it wasn't just Joey's grip. It seemed the entire building was shaking around him. People around him were panicking. Eventually the violent rumbling became too much, and Joey collapsed on the ground. A maniacal laugh randomly rang out.

Then the video went black.
