A moment to breathe. Isabel's attack had caused Asha to disengage, she had a chance to think for a moment, even through the searing pain present in most of her body. Another crossbow bolt embedded in her flesh would almost certainly let Asha kill her. She needed to make sure she didn't get hit again...

Before Isabel had even realized what had happened, she had been shoved back and a knife had once again sliced into her face. Hissing and screaming as she stumbled backwards, away from Asha, Isabel clutched her face with her free hand. The pain was even more intense than when Kimiko had cut into her....

A moment of clarity. The searing pain stopped after what felt like an eternity, only to be replaced by aching muscles and a weight on Isabel's back. It was almost certainly Asha, trying to... wrestle her? Get the final blow? She didn't know, all she did know is that she had an annoyance to eliminate...

Isabel stood, awkwardly, almost in complete disbelief. "You..." Isabel began. "...Alright." Isabel signaled to Lily to come out from behind the door. "We're going, Lily." She started moving back down the hallway, Lily keeping near the wall a few feet behind. She was gla...

Figures. Asha always did cut right to the chase. "I thought you would ask that," Isabel began, choosing her words as carefully as she could manage. "Believe it or not, it was self defense. Maybe you won't believe me when I say that, but it's true." Isabel looked at the faintly li...

"No it's just... a friend that I'm not happy to see-" Isabel jarred away from the door as the sound of knocking echoed through the halls. She sighed, and realized that there was not going to be any easy way out of all this. She turned to Lily, motioning for her to get closer, before whispe...

Back in the asylum once again. ((Isabel Ramirez continued from Megalomania)) The intensive care wards were gloomy, and dim. Only some of the pale moonlight making its way through the thick windows dotted around the hallways. The day had been uneventful travel between areas, not a single soul encount...

Maddie ran straight into the treeline and ducked behind one of the front-most trees. She breathed hard and quickly, both due to panic and exhaustion, and her legs felt like gelatin after all that running. Was the boy following her? She peered gingerly around the tree and saw him as a dot nearby the ...

Maddie heard the sound of a gun going off. She shrieked. He was shooting at her. The crazy bastard was shooting at her. She heard him shout something that she couldn't quite make out due to her hearing being dulled by the recent firing of a gun and over the air rushing by her ears, but it didn't mat...

((Madeline Wilcox continued from The Game Begins )) Maddie had walked quite a distance. She had no idea where she was really going, she seemed to be aimlessly wandering without thinking too much about it. She was just going somewhere . She began considering looking at the map and trying to find some...

Maddie's eyes continuously grew heavy as she sat there. She wanted to stay awake a bit longer, to make sure that RJ was going to be okay, but her eyes shut from the exhaustion and she fell asleep shortly. [hr] Maddie awoke with a start. Another nightmare. She sighed. Her sleep was getting less and l...

Maddie looked over at RJ to see that he seemed to be having some sort of panic attack. She reached over, her hand close to his shoulder. "RJ? Are you alright?" She placed her hand on his shoulder. He didn't seem to notice. "RJ? What's wrong?" She didn't know what to do, he obviou...

Maddie sat there silently. She didn't know what to say to that. Even if RJ just said what they were both thinking, she didn't know how to respond. She had grown to like RJ as they'd been together. He was nice and was good company. His presence had kept her from going too crazy. If she had to continu...

"Would it really be okay for any of us to go home?" Maddie said that statement quietly, pausing for a brief moment after. "In order to leave this place in the first place... you have to kill at least one other person." She put her feet down and leaned over to grab a bit of bread ...

((Madeline Wilcox continued from Affluenza )) It had been a long day. After she and RJ had fled from the gated community they stopped and went to sleep in one of the various abandoned houses. Then they woke up and the announcements played. Alex was dead. Maddie didn't know how to react to it, just l...
