Chapter 3 - Chapter three: Burning village of silence

Nathaniel kept quiet, without saying a word,both of them walked quietly so they would not be noticed.

But who would it be,was he taking him to Kill him or what,was there someone betraying the system,or what is just another game.

All the questions piled up on Nathaniel's mind as he followed him gently.

There was a CCTV camera on the other side, the masked man looked at my face using his hands telling me I should wait.

He walked through the CCTV camera as he broke it.

The bell rang an alarm, as he told me to follow him.

Nathaniel obeyed immediately without any questions,as he followed him,there was an underground there as both of them jumped inside the pit.

The masked men chased them shooting guns,they opened the tunnel that led to the underground and entered inside.

The underground was smelling with dead bodies.

This is the place they kept any victims that died from the game.

But why?

Nathaniel has a lot of questions to ask but can't ask because he is not in the right position to ask.

Lie with the dead bodies, use their blood to rub yourself.

Nathaniel immediately obeyed as he lay with a dead person using their blood to rub his body and using them to rest on top of his body.

The masked man pulled off his mask and threw it far away to attract attention.

The other masked men came down as they were on a system which was flashing red light, they wanted to use it to detect where they were.

Don't move no matter what happens, if not you are as good as dead.

Nathaniel nodded his head as he started to breath heavily, the fear can be read in his eyes.

One of the masked men pulled up his gun trigger and shot himself.

We must find him,time is going.

If we don't find them we are going to kill ourselves.

They looked at the time as it started counting.

5 minutes remaining.

Find them, one of the masked men shouted.

The searching was massive as they were shifting the dead bodies one after the other.

Nathaniel's heart started beating heavily,he knew the outcome whenever they found him.

We need to find him or we die,another masked man said.

The search was heavy as they were searching everywhere, looking everything they can find.

They looked all the holes and hiding place yet they saw no one.

Nathaniel looked at the masked man,what will happen.

If they find us we are going to die.

I know that what about you.

I am also going to die.

If they don't find us within 5mins what is going to happen to them.

They will be killed.

By who.

By the system.

If they know they will be killed why would they joined them.

We were picked from a village,you have no choice to say no, if you say no they will kill you without looking back.

What about you.

The man smiled and say.

Helping you already I have already signed my death.

Why did you helped me.

Because I don't want them to complete the 1000 killing.

What do you mean.

Keep quiet someone is coming.

One of the masked man stand beside Nathaniel as he used his leg to kick his head with force.

Nathaniel beared the pain,as he refused to scream or make any sound.

No am not going to die, I will not die,the man begin to match the dead bodies.

Matching the bodies will not solve anything.

I know but at least it will take away my pains.

What pain.

Pain of dying.

The alarm ringed again 4 minutes remaining.

The tension became stronger,the room became more heavy than before.

4 minutes remaining,the alarm sounded again.

I don't wish to die this kind of death one of the men said.

I know you are in this pit but I bet you, everyone will die because this pit will be blow up.

Especially you that betrayed us and helping him,you are also going to die you know that.

There were chains in their hands, chains that they can't take off and each of the masked men have their own group where they belong.

It 4 minutes remaining, and we all are doomed.

Nathaniel looked at the man lying down,as he feels his pains.

Why did you do it for me.

Don't worry, tonight am going to die.

Why are you sacrificing yourself.

Don't worry about me,worry about yourself.

3 minutes remaining,the alarm ringed again.

Should we burn them.

We can't burn them,you know that.

How are we going to tell them that we did not see them.

One of the masked man climbed up as he opened the tower.

Have you seen it,the voice said on top of the ground.

No we are still looking for him.

Then there was a gunshot, another mask man shot him dead.

He fell down on the ground.

The rest of the masked men knew their outcome.

2 minutes remain, the alarm ringed again.

Nathaniel looked at the clock as it ticking seconds by seconds.

The search continued,as they were rechecking all the place they had checked before.

1 minutes remaining,the alarm ringed again.

Let burn the body.

No, we are not allowed.

We are going to die anyway, so it's better we burned the body and die here than we exploding.

30 seconds remaining, the alarm ringed again.

As the clock tick 29,28,27,26,25,24,23,22,21.

The masked men knew the outcome,as one of the men saw Nathaniel face.

I think I saw him he shouted.
