Chapter 34: Frustration

APE

"WHY, is it SO easy for them to die?"

4 was fuming. They were seeing how Bracelety died, just from being pulled apart! If infected objects died that easily, this whole obstacle was pointless. They checked the list of diseased contestants. 10 out of 38, that's about 26%. Wasn't the number higher?! They ripped the paper apart out of anger, but a machine just printed it out again. Biting their thumb, they tried to think of a solution. How were they going to make the viewers entertained if the main problem wasn't even the main problem? They needed to find a way to make the contestants die, but also from the virus. Taking a deep breath, they pulled up on the screen the condition of infected characters. Of course, it showed Bracelety deceased, and they recovered her quickly. She looked around confused at first, and then asked 4,

"Why am I here? Where are the others?"

"They're down there, still competing."

"No, no, the ones that were with me in the strange building!"

"What on Earth are you talking about?"

"When Woody bit me, I got teleported to a large building, and other people were with me! Leafy said it was because I was bit."

4 froze. They turned around to look at Bracelety, who just sat there confused. They needed to know more about this place and struck up a seemingly casual conversation with her.

"Oh, so everyone that got bit was sent there?"

"Uh, yeah? That's what Leafy said. And everyone said that they got bit."

"Hmm, and you said EVERYONE that got bit was there?"

"Yes, how many times are you going to ask me?"

"Ok, and you've noticed that you're back here, with the other dead contestants, right?"

"Yes?"

"Notice anybody missing?"

"Oh, the people that were bit?"

"Exactly, and do you know why?"

"No."

"It would be fun to let you guess, but I'm getting impatient."

"Well, you sure are taking up a lot of time now."

"...SCREECH!"

Bracelety fell backwards, but soon recovered and faced 4 again.

"Ahem, anyways. The reason is because their bodies, are still moving."

"What are you talking about?"

"Leafy didn't tell you everything huh?"

"No, in fact, after that, she didn't talk to me anymore."

"Oh? Well, continuing what we were talking about, their bodies are still moving, just not the same."

"What do you mean?"

"Take a look for yourself."

4 sneered at her. Giving them a disrespectful look, she looked at the screen. She saw Gelatin, her teammate! Except, he wasn't the same. He was moving at a fast pace, and didn't look like he was with anyone anymore... She looked at his arm, it was also bitten, and his body was red. This was too familiar, and she stepped back in realization. He became exactly like Woody! No wonder he was there at the mansion too, it's because the same thing that happened to Woody happened to him. Wait, but I saw them too. She put her hands up to her face, and realized that she too, was like them. But then, why was she gone? Why was she here? She looked at 4 with a shocked look, and he smiled saying,
