Time flies fast, whether you like it or not, it does. As for Eleonna, she isn't that glad of how fast the days passed.
For the past few days, the girl didn't have anything in mind but the game. Mace told her that it will happen the day after tomorrow, which is Saturday.
Her routine had been the same, school, hideout, home. To say that she's nervous is an understatement. I mean, who wouldn't get scared for themselves if they knew they'll be doing some dangerous shits for the next day?
Not to mention, Illegal too.
Everytime she goes to that place, she couldn't help but to rethink about her decisions. It felt like what she's doing is not right, but at the same time if it weren't for this then she wouldn't know the things that she discovered now. She couldn't quit now that she's closer to the truth she wants to find out. And maybe, she'll finally find her too.
She alr
"Hey," Eleonna greeted as soon as the both of them got inside.Albeit weirded out by the stares they're giving to them, to her specifically. She walked towards the couch where everyone was situated.Mace stood up and went in front of them."So, since everyone is here. We'll be discussing about our new tactics in the game," he glanced at Eleonna, "And as for you since this is your first time, buckle up 'cause I'm gonna tell you things that you need to know."Audella sat beside her. Mace carried the table to the font as he scanned each paper above it."Hotel de Devio is a famous five star hotel in the Philippines, we all know that underneath their luxury profile, there's hell," he showed them a paper, "This is the official list of the members of the group we'll be facing this year."He gave them the paper and let them read it individually. There wer
Eleonna drank her nth cup of water for the evening as she stared at the wall clock in her room. It's already 11 in the evening, and you know what that means. The girl has been walking back and forth in the room while silently saying her prayers. She turned to look around the room, if she dies, who's gonna take care of her toy collection?The girl shook her head as she tried to get her mind off of negative things. She's already nervous as it is and thinking about death wouldn't do her any better.Eleonna went out of her room to go downstairs, to her surprise her uncle was still awake and is currently watching a TV. She walked towards him and sat across the single couch."It's late, why are you still awake?" he asked, eyes still on the television."I can't sleep. So I decided to walk around the house. How about you, uncle? Don't you have a work tomorrow?"The girl couldn't help but
Eleonna always hated the violence. She could never understand why people often choose to create chaos when they can just talk it out. Well, easy said than done, because let's admit it, we can't use peace talks in every situation and there are things that are better done than said. The girl has been staring outside the window of their room. Her eyes watched every single person who comes inside. All of them looked very professional and wealthy, if it weren't for this game then she would look up to them and view them as her inspiration to keep studying and graduate so that someday she could find a decent job and earn money then she could enjoy the rest her life. But to her, they're just a well dressed evils, a wealthy one it is. Shaun was sitting beside Celeste who's talking to him about something. This is the first time that the guy actually didn't understand what the girl is saying. He couldn't keep his eyes off of Eleonna, don't ge
With fear and uncertainty in her heart, Eleonna walked towards the door. As soon as she stepped in, the loud bang of the steel door echoed around the place. It was gloomy, and the lights were dim. The girl looked around hoping to see the others, but they already left and went on their way. She didn't have a choice but to continue walking on the path Audella told her to. Her breathing became shaky as she scanned the place. It looked like an abandoned building. There were spider webs and vandalism on the wall. Did the people who got in this place did this? She couldn't help but to compare the state inside this place and the outside. This was complete opposite of the luxury looking place outside. Her brows furrowed when she saw a nail scratch on the wall, it had a trace of dried blood. She could tell that it was here for a long time now. Someone must have died here. The thought of dead people almost made her throw up.
The man known as Mr. Vierro walked past the people watching the big screen. He shook his head in disappointment by their actions. For him, they all looked dumb for being entertained by all this sick way of making money. If only he didn't needed to be associated with this what they call business, he would've taken this place down.He entered an elevator along with his secretary to get to the office."Sir, aren't you worried about your son being here?" his secretary suddenly asked, worry evident on her face.He glanced at her reflection on the glass."His safety is guaranteed. He may not know it, but no one can touch him in that game." he said nonchalantly."But why won't you just ban your son from joining here, sir?"The man sighed. The elevator opened and they immediately walked towards the lone office. "I already did that, but he won't listen to his own fath
Eleonna was escorted to go outside. After she opened the box, the men in grey uniforms just appeared out of nowhere. She was bought to another room separated from where the stage where. She looked around the place and saw a big screen attached on the wall, it had a different footage in every corner of the place inside the game.The girl walked towards it and stared at the highlighted footage. There she saw Audella, Shaun, Celeste, and Fumiya fighting alongside. From the looks of it, her team mates were winning.Her eyes grew wider when Fumiya grabbed the swiss knife and burried it on player 5's chest. She watched as the blood came out from his body. She couldn't believe how easy it seemed for them to stab someone. She covered her mouth when Shaun broke player 6's neck.She felt... sick. She knows what her team mates were capable of, but she couldn't believe that she actually witnessed it herself. She couldn't watch it an
Two days had passed since the game happened. Eleonna had numerous of nightmares for the past two days. Whatever distractions she does, the ghosts of the dead still bothers her. She doesn't even sleep sometimes so that she can prevent herself from dying in her sleep.Eleonna covered her face with her hands as she leaned on her chair. She didn't get enough sleep last night as usual. She wanted to skip class today but her uncle might suspect her for doing something. It's not like she didn't just put her life on the line last Saturday though. Not to mention the failed plan Audella and she made.But come to think of it. Even if she didn't saw that Sy, she met Suzy. Yes, that brutal player who suspiciously protected her and spared her life. That same day when Suzy confessed to her that she had a connection with Eleanor, a phone call interrupted them. Just as she was about to spill some beans, the fate decided to interfere, and now she
Eleonna had her eyes fixated on the dark red haired girl in front of her. It may not seem like it, but Eleonna is the type of student who struggles to stay focused on a person talking on the front. You may be wondering how she managed to get high grades, well the answer is simple. She prefers self study, but this exact moment is an exception."Executive of what?" she asked when the girl didn't add anything.Suzy looked at her with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Does she really have no idea or she just wanted to confirm what she heard? Nevertheless, the girl answered."The Black Shadow...?" she repeated but the girl remained nonchalant. Obviously not getting what she's saying. A scoff left past her lips. "Do you not know anything about Black Shadow? Not ringing any bell or something?"Eleonna shook her head innocently, she looked like a kid who denied to her parents about eat
