Chapter 8 - Tragedy Beyond The Waters

"This simulation, isn't safe! And you've been doing this for years?" Logan said.

Max leaves the soulless body of David as Logan looks at it, with him lifting the body up.

"This is a dead body, in the water..." Logan said afterwards sighing.

Arnold looks at the screen, which shows, what looks like, David's "dead" body.

"Well, Didn't even know one of the bodies was David."

Logan, surprised, looks around saying, "Wait, you're telling me there's MORE dead bodies here."

Logan looks around, and sees a bunch of bodies, rising up into the sky.

"What the fuck is this place?" Logan whispered.

As Logan began to walk around, he found himself grabbed by one of the dead bodies, and quickly pulled down into the water, where the bodies are nowhere to be seen. Logan also can't hit surface, as, Everytime he does, he's always pulled deeper by a hand that's grabbing him.

As Logan slowly decends, Logan notices someone coming closer, being prepared, he took out his switchblade, and swam towards it, but just before he can, he is grabbed by the legs, which, everytime he tries to shake off, always grab back, but pull even harder, constantly hurting to the extent where he literally couldn't shake off the grabbing, which climbed Logan, and slashes his back. Eventually, the person chasing after Logan heard him, went towards him, as it turned out, though, Logan saw David's body slowly sink into he water, and tried to break free, but, someone already had a gun up to his head, and one was already on his back.

"Well, look what we have here. A fallen Soldier." The person said underwater, turns out that person was David, Who returned to his body.

Logan had no way of communication, so Logan eventually accepted if he had to get injured, but just wanted a way out.

Eventually, with a gun towards his head, Logan was released to the skies and lifted up 150 ft above the water

"What the FUCK IS GOING ON?" Logan was able to finish his sentance before being dropped, landing into he water, and was immediately knocked unconscious. With his body immovable, he fell to the bottom of the ocean.

"Shitty landing, didn't work." David said.

"Get me out of here." David said.

"I'm not letting you in if its the last thing I do, you're the biggest betrayer I've ever met, and, if YOU ARE MAX, I RATHER DIE THEN LET YOU OUT." Arnold said.

Arnold notices the knife near his neck.

"Well, if you're willing to die then let him out, why not die right now?" Max said.

Max tries to slice Arnold, but doesn't make a deep or large enough cut, but, to avoid death, Arnold plays it out as if he's dead by falling to the floor.

Max steps over him, not before a second stab at his right leg,

"Hey, how do you open this thing?"

David shrugs, "I don't know."

When Arnold heard David say, "I don't know" it was an almost immediate sign it wasn't David.

"So, Max can possess others, but also can act normal? Why didn't she do that shit to begin with?" Arnold thought.

Whatever the case may be, Logan wasn't dead yet, after getting back up to surface, swimming around, he notices David. Logan swam to David. He reached David, and grabbed him by the neck, very hard.

"You're the bitch who put me underwater, right?" Logan said as he choked him out.

Max got a plan though, he grabbed Max by the legs, opened the simulation, there her in, and Logan hopped out, along with David. Closing it, immediately.

"You're coming with me, NOW." Arnold said as he grabbed David by the arm.

"Bye..." Logan said after which, he walked away.
