"A what now?" Lei asked.

Tiara spun her head to Lei.
"A Willproph." Tiara smiled cutely.

Lei raised one of her brows.

"A Willproph came from outside your universe. We were created to protect and take care of the universes."

We all stood there with a blank expression.

Tiara giggled.
"Look at your innocent faces. Go ahead." She widened her arms.

"Ask questions." she added.

"Can you pinch me Charlotte? I think I'm still dreaming." Lei joked.

Charlotte didn't hesitate and pinched her shoulder.

"oww." she moved Charlotte's hand away from her shoulder."

"What happened to the city?"
Crystal questioned.
"Why does the city looks like there was a Zombie Apocalypse for years? And where's the other people? Don't tell me the-"

"Zombies aren't real honey." Tiara teased.

"And you're not in your earth right now." She added.

"wait... What?!" Zhara exclaimed.
"Then where are we?" Zhara asked.

"You're in earth 305 arena right now."

"earth 305?" I murmured.

Lei scoffed and started to laugh hysterically.

Tiara looked annoyed with Lei's attitude. I mean so do I.

"So you expect us to believe you?"
Lei commented.

"Not really. I did expect this kind of attitude coming from you Leila Hart."
Tiara said confidently.

Lei tightened her jaw.

"What do you mean earth 906? Is there more earths?" I asked.

"Ahh..." Tiara tilts her head.
"You catch up fast huh? Yes there are more earths."
She gave an astonished look.

"How did we even leave earth in the first place? I didn't even feel a thing." Crystal asked.

"Well... It's hard to explain. You'll know soon if you survive." Tiara announced.

Crystal looked disappointed.

We all stood there thinking what to ask.

"The people!" Zhara exclaimed.
"What happened to the other people and the dead students in the school?"
She added.

"oh they're all fine in earth 305. And those aren't students or staffs hun. Those were just some fake human sized dolly."
Tiara explained.

"why us? Why are we the only ones here in this game?"
Charlotte said.

"well the higher ups choose you. Because they think you all could make a good show."
Tiara answered.

"A good show?! What are we? In hunger games?" Lei shouted.

Tiara pressed her lips together and burst into laughter.

"But this game has a purpose. To change humanity's doing."
Tiara cleared her throat.

"a lot of universes has been reported inactive because their earth has been destroyed. And it's humanity's fault."

"So you think killing innocent teenagers would change them? Or by watching us die? Do you think they would change!" Lei stated.

"l-" Tiara stammered.

She wasn't wrong. It was really unfair. We were just some teenagers.

But I did do some bad things in the world. Nobody is perfect. She was right. There are more worse sinful people in the world than us.

"Die? You won't get killed if you're worthy enough to survive." Tiara said and ignored what Lei just stated.

"This is really unfair! Me and my friends don't deserve this!" Lei exclaimed.

Tiara gave us a wide smile.
"Do you think you didn't do anything bad in your past?" she scoffed.
"Try thinking of it Lei. What do you think you did 5 years ago. Huh?"
Tiara walked towards her confidently.

Lei eyes widened. She started to tremble unintentionally. She opened her mouth wanting to defend herself but she didn't and closed It anyways. She clenched both of her fists.
Her emotions was anger mixed with fear and guilt.
What did you do Lei?

What did you do?

"Enough!" Lei pushed Tiara back.
"I'm tired. I want to rest" Lei stammered.

Crystal held my hand and whispered.
"Harlyn. Looks like someone did a Bad thing. She chuckled softly.

I glared at Crystal. It wasn't funny. Lei looked threatened by Tiara's words.
We didn't understand what they were arguing about.

"Alright... I expected you all to be tired. I'll take you to your resting place."
Tiara took a little step back.

"and also. Just call me Tia because Tiara sounds so long doesn't it?"
Tia insisted.

We all nodded.

I wanted to ask her more. I am still curious about the multiverse stuffs.

She lifts her hand and a shiny pink orb starts to build onto her palm.

As she clenched her hand some of its particles escaped her grasp.

My vision began to blur completely.
My eyes closed itself and as I opens
The place changed from the city to a long bright room.

It had no windows nor doors. The wall had a black colored landscape (Horizontal) strips.

I saw Charlotte, Lei and Zhara talking together in a corner of the room.

I looked around trying to find Crystal.

"She went to the restroom."
Zhara said.

I looked at her as a part of the wall beside them opened.

"Just say restroom, bathroom or something and that would automatically open." She added.

I ignored her and went in the restroom.

I felt Lei's glare right at the corner of my eye as I walked inside the restroom.

There was Crystal washing her face with the running water on the faucet.
She looked at me and smiled.

"Hey." She greeted.

"Hi. You okay?" I asked.

"mhm."
"It just feel so unreal. All of this. It feels like we're in a futuristic dimension or something."
She added.

"hey did you remember what Tia said about being the protector of our universe?" I asked.

"yeah why?"

"What if they used to take the games seriously for humanity. But as the years passed by their higher ups or whatever she calls it became corrupted and bad and used the games as an entertainment of their own." I explained.

She looked at me with an amazed expression.

"oh my gosh! Did you just fantasize that now? Wow..." She squealed.

"I'm really lucky for having a best friend who has a really wide imagination."
"You're going to tell me more if you think of another theory okay?" she added.

"Of course! But what i was talking about was serious." I said with a straight face.

"Oh." She froze there not knowing what to say.

"Well... I-" her words broke as she started coughing.

I went to her and comforted her at the back as she covers her mouth from coughing.

"Hey... What's wrong?" I asked.

As she takes off her palm there wer-

Blood.

My eyes widened.
"wha- why is there blood?" I stuttered.

"oh. Uhm. I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you." She said in a soft tone.

"I was about to tell mom about this after school but this happened."
She explained.

"When did it start?" I asked with worry.

"Just last night. It's not a big deal says the internet."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah... No need to make a fuss about." she said while washing her hands.

"If you say so." I said.

After talking we went outside and picked our beds.
The three moved their beds further from us and we joined our beds together to make it more bigger.
The three would always watch what we did the whole hour.
Which made me uncomfortable and made Crystal irritated.

Minutes later a small part of the wall beside our beds opened and gave a food tray with Chicken, Rice, soup and a bottled water on it.

After we ate our dinners quietly we waited for a signal to sleep or something unexpected.

We didn't even know if it was night or not.

But as the time goes by the lights on the ceiling automatically turned of and the lamps switched on.

"I guess it's sleeping time." Charlotte murmured.

Me and Crystal laid in bed with our eyes open. So did the three.
We heared the three chuckle for no reason.

When I was about to fall asleep a voice ringed in my head.
"7 hours left before the commence of the second game."
I was startled by the robotic voice.

"What the fu-" Crystal said quietly.
"you heard that too right?" she whispered.

I laugh softly. "Yeah."
And we both laughed together as quiet as we can.
