5 Chapter 5

Everyone was in tears when the pool came to a stand still - ripples vanished as they reached their limit. None of us new why or how it happened, I don't think any of us payed full attention from the get go, but what we do know is that we're in for more then sharks and drunken staircases with a huge spider lying in wait for us.

"What now?" Ryan choked on his words a little. "We keep moving and find a way out of here, I suppose." Everyone looked at me in agreement but I knew they didn't want to leave, but what's the point in looking for something you know you won't find? Trailing behind like snails, we slowly made our way to the staircase again and went up 6 different floors till we got to floor 998. 'Surely it has no more then 999, right?'

"I want everyone to find a way to get to the next floor up from here without going up or down the stairs! We don't need anyone else becoming some sort of midnight snack..." Everyone nodded while Georgia scoffed, checking the tips of her hair and nail polish to make sure it wasn't scuffed, before letting out a displeased moan. "Since when did you become the boss?"

"I'm not, I'm just making sure we survive this shit! I don't see you doing much so why shouldn't I try?" She got right up in my face and huffed; her height made her attitude almost child-like. "Because whatever you're doing is ripping my boyfriend away from me and he's now going after some girl he's met less then a few hours ago!" What? Does she mean- oh my god! "I'm not trying to steal Ryan from you, I don't want too either, but if he likes me more than you after only a short while then maybe you should step up your game~"

Before I knew what was happening, my collar was pulled down and my back hunched forward surprisingly harshly with the odd satisfying crack of my bones. "Listen to me you whore," Georgia whispered through gritted teeth, "if you try to get all close and cuddly with my man then I'll throw you into the jaws of death when we next find something dangerous enough! Maybe you could meet that emo junkie in hell and let her know that I'm glad you're both gone!" Without thinking for any other second, I pushed the bitch to the ground and kept her down with my foot planted on her flat-as-a-plank chest. "That's cute~" I cooed before putting more weight onto her - a small hiss came from her over-done lips as my heel dug between two of her ribs. "But I think you forgot one key detail about me and Scarlet that you somehow failed to miss."

"And that would be?" Georgia snarled while attempting to push my foot off her or hit my leg enough times to make me flinch and back off. "We know what's going to happen in this place, we've seen it when we arrived here, she just couldn't handle the idea of knowing how her knew-found friends would die without being able to protect the right person since that's decided when the event occurs." Lily and Harvey cowered against one another so Ryan held them close to him without keeping his eyes off of us; he didn't seem to want to get involved. "Then what's gonna happen next, huh?" I thought for a moment before leaning down to Georgias' face and smiling. "Someone's going to meet an unexpected fate which will then turn out to have amazing results with one less brat in the party to slow us down!"

Georgia, pissed at my words, swung her hand towards my face (her nails caught my cheek and cut quite deeply) before pulling a face of pride. I chuckled to myself while wiping away the blood that quickly began to escape my fresh wound. "That all you got?" With a feeling within me saying to reach for my back pocket, I pulled out something I didn't have on me till what I'm going to assume was this very moment; a hand pistol. "Open wide~e~e" Like magic, she opened her mouth as far as it could go and tears gushing down her face while staining the streams black from poorly applied mascara; it was like watching the bitch inside of her leak out in hopes of a second chance. "Good girl~ Now keep quiet for mo-"

"MIA THAT'S ENOUGH! LEAVE MY GIRLFRIEND ALONE!" Ryan screamed which made the world come to a halt.

'His' girlfriend? "W-what?" I looked to him as my limbs loosened- Georgia took this as her chance to escape and she shuffled out from under my boot. "You heard me: leave my girlfriend alone!" This moron actually likes her?! "You call her your girlfriend after all the shit she's probably put you through? And with an attitude like that?! All you are to her is a meat shield and a sex toy; it's not that fucking hard to tell!" I stepped towards him as Ryan began to stand up straight. "We still love one another either way. Why is that so hard to compreh- oh my god…" He smiled in realisation of something. "Oh my fucking god, you like me! That's what this is all about?! Getting rid of a 'threat' so you can have your way with me instead?"

"What?! No, it's not like that!"

"But you still like me, right?" In shame, I nodded. "And you really thought I'd like someone as nuts as you?! Fuck, you realise you're just as stupid as my current partner right?" My soul sank and heart ached at the comparison of me and… that 'thing'! "God you're dumb, I'll spell it out for you." He got up close and decided to make this more personal than it was already.

"I'm."

I didn't know I liked him till that bitch said something. No, it's his bitch and I accept that… right?

"Not."

My grip on the firearm grew tighter.

"Attracted."

Do I really want to do this?!

"To."

Abso-fucking-lutely!

"YO-"

…Where am I?
