Chapter 3

"I don't understand, how are you both here?"Ruby said.

"He sacrificed himself for me, and I killed the robot he helped me fix."Harry said. Teddy did not pay any attention to the conversation, he just ran and grabbed the dagger, cutting Harry's hand. Harry held his own hand and Jace wiped of some of the blood with his jacket. Everyone was asking him why he did that or helping Harry like Jace, but he ignored them, for he was holding the next clue. He showed it to them and Harry smiled, glad he took it out of the room.

It had a symbol on it he had seen before. He looked around and couldn't find it. He gave the dagger to Landon and Ash cried that he had been standing on it. There it was, the symbol. It had words underneath it.

This is were you might need goggles

"I use goggles to swim in-"Camri started.

"The pool!" Said Ruby.

They ran to the pool, but after looking saw that nothing was there.

They continued looking when Harry shouted, rinsing off his hand;

"The lab!" They ran again, starting to get tired. But it was all worth it when they saw a beaker with a clue in it. Or so they thought. They also spotted it's twin. Not only that but a note.

"Ah no, not another one!" Veronica said.

Two must drink. One is poison, one is antidote. Once 2 people drink both, there is your next clue.

The group went to find the box when Veronica wouldn't let Harry go.

"Harry, I know who voted Jace in. It's Ruby. I saw over her shoulder. You don't have to take my word for it, I am only telling you the truth."She walked away. But Harry was furious. Ruby his friend, wants his allie, best friend, now only friend, gone. He better tell Jace.

And he did.

Then they voted, now it still felt wrong, but they were more used to it by now.

Before Harry put Ruby in he remembered when he was alone, nobody understood. Except Ruby. He then put in Landon.

It was drawing time. 

"Landon" He tried to get away but realized, where would he go?

"Ruby" She was shocked someone put her name in, Harry looked at Jace and he was just as shocked.

Only one came back this time.

***

They entered the room unaccompanied by anyone other than each other.

You will need to do many tasks to drink the antidote instead of the poison. Please put up the privacy booths laying on either side of this note. Once you have done that, let the game begin. You each will receive your first clue. At the gunshot start.

Landon looked at Ruby and smiled. He wasn't gonna lose to anyone. Not today at least. He would never except a fate he was responsible for. Not now not ever. He wouldn't go down without a fight.

And that he wouldn't. Ruby, was focused on who voted her in. Naturally, she understood Landon, for she voted him in. He had not done a thing. She was so focused however, she nearly missed the bullet that's firing rang through the room.

Landon ran to the table, and started right away. He unrivaled the riddles, it seemed as if he unsolved the unsolvable. Ruby however, wasn't doing as well. She tried her best, but only managed to get a few things done, and she didn't know, but Landon was on his last riddle. He worked like spreading flame. He grabbed the vile he thought was right and drank it. Victory tasted sweet.

He walked back alone.

. . .

Harry's expression darkened. Jace hated to attmit it, but he was slightly happy. He was less likely to be voted in. Irene and Veronica weren't that disappointed. Ashley was crying. Camri was just plain out sad and scared. They searched rapidly for another clue it was not until Ash checked the bottle Ruby drank that they found it.

Go to Carson Green's grave, you will know what to.

Sorry it was so short...
