I didn't have a room. "Skylar!" Hearing his voice had my heart racing with fear, I walked down the stairs to meet him in the hallway. There was a door under the stairs, probably to the basement which is where they made me sleep last time. My step-father stood there with the door open. Suddenly he shoved me and I slipped, falling down each step. Rolo barked and growled at him, earning a kick for himself before he too got locked in the basement with me. I swear I heard him lock it with a key. There were three lights down here, they were fairly dim, the floor had been carpeted thankfully, a single mattress lay in one corner of the room no bedframe, a dog bed next to it with the dogs food and wa

Autumn felt her world collapse in slow motion as Iris pushed her. The last thing she saw was the shock etched on Iris’s face before Ivan suddenly appeared beside her, standing frozen in disbelief. The moment stretched endlessly, but then gravity took over, and Autumn’s head plummeted towards the unforgiving concrete floor below.

Falling was not an action. It was a surrender. The white corridor shattered into fragments of light and glass, breaking away beneath Ronan’s feet as if reality itself had decided they were no longer worth supporting. Kiera screamed his name inside the mindscape—raw, panicked, endless—and the sound ripped through him harder than any physical blow. Ronan tightened his grip around her without thinking. The world tilted. Then dropped. They fell through layers. Not downward in a straight line, but through—past rooms that peeled away like half‑remembered dreams. He saw flashes as they plunged:

she said defeatedly while Jules quited down. "Falling game is a couple game. You need to actt like a real couple. Where a man chooses his partner among the participants, only days are given in the game. There are activities and attendance. There is a punishment for those who are not active or caynt follow the rules. The price is high but that game is very dangerous. They give letters to the people they choose to participate in ", she explains almost whispering to me. "I think they started giving the letters yesterday in the lockers", Jules inserts.

Jeremy needs to lay down as soon as possible. Turning, Roy fished the pockets of his slacks to find his iPhone but a tug to his sleeve diverted his attention. Roy turned back to freeze―as something soft petal like texture brushed against his lips. Roy's throat parched and his eyes rounded to see Jeremy's lips lose contact with his. Jeremy also lost his consciousness, falling against Roy's chest―the very next second.

"You're here, aren't you? What's going to happen to me?" Leo stepped closer to him, cornering Archer against the table. As he lowered his eyes, meeting Archer's gentle, smiling gaze, Leo felt the burning feeling in his chest intensify. However, he refused to lose to Archer. So, he took the wine glass and finished everything, spiked wine and all, with Archer's eyes on him. "Something terrible's about to happen," Leo said. "Aren't you going to run, Archie?" Archer shoved Leo aside. Leo immediately froze in place, not daring to turn around and watch Archer leave. The drug was starting to take effect on his body, but Leo's blood had already run cold.

Aaron being utterly tired from looking at the books for straight fifteen minutes, poked Nathan, gesturing to say something. Nathan took Aaron on his lap and nodding, he spoke up, "Love, what happened? Champ is scared." Amelia turned to them, "Ask your Champ." as she glared at Aaron. Aaron spoke up rising on his feet immediately, "I didn't do anything. Teacher was lying." Amelia put the brush away, and walked to them, "What did you say?" Aaron got near his beloved Daddy, "I didn't push the girl. She fell by herself."

She dropped down beside him, gently turning him to his side. “Call an ambulance—now!” I yelled. “I’m on it,” she said, grabbing her phone with shaking hands. I just knelt there, watching him shake and spasm on the pavement, blood dripping from his lips. I couldn’t move. I’d never seen anything like it. Never seen a person just… shut down like that. Everything else faded—the crowd, the noise, even Dave. All I could see was Nicholas, helpless and shaking, and it messed me up more than I wanted to admit.

THE LAST PIECE SOFIA POV We’re falling. Alessio crushes me against his chest. Gianna screams. Nikolai fires his gun upward at the cables. Sparks. Metal shrieking. Floor numbers flying past. Ten. Nine. Eight. “BRACE YOURSELF!” Alessio roars. Seven. Six. Five. The emergency brake catches. We slam to a stop. The impact throws us to the floor. My head cracks against metal. Everything stops. For three seconds, silence.
