When I woke up in the morning I saw a box. There is a letter on it.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Heleana Sanchez,
Today is the first training in the game. This is the combat you will wear in the battleground.
Sincerely,
Miranda Dampios
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now that the game is near to start, we need to trained ourselves of the possible outcome that will come during the game and also to defense ourselves from the creatures strolling around. I took a shower and fixed myself. I already wore the combat clothes that Madam Miranda gave me. When I looked at myself in the mirror I wanted to break it. I shouldn't send in my emotion next time unlike the past. I'll promise to myself that I'll be strong, I must live again.
I left my room and went outside. It was eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining. We started rehearsing. We saw some men walking around to our battlefields, I saw the man who brought me into to Hell again. I felt irritation when our eyes met. It was obvious in his eyes that he was laughing even though his face was covered.
"Heleana, focus!" I felt Yurika touched my shoulder.
"Sorry." I said and we rehearsed again.
I saw Madam Miranda above the balcony. She was carrying a microphone.
"Good morning to all the women ... and men." She said. Her expression and tone also changed when she saw the male guards.
"At six o'clock tonight, the first game will begin." Madam Miranda told us. "There are fifty candidates here but only thirty will pass this game." The candidates' faces are full of nervousness and fear. We can't do nothing, if we can't be brave, we will not be given the hope of living again.
"Start rehearsing again." She said and sat on the balcony.
We fought with the sword. We were group into partners. The winner is the rehearsal will be exempted from the first game. Only ten candidates will not be able to participate in the game so there are still forty left.
Yurika and I were among the ten candidates but we still had to fight each other. Yurika immediately gave up fighting me, as I quickly dodged her swords.
In the end, I fought with the last woman who always won.
"Hi! I'm Janine, I hope you're the one who will lose the fight." She said and smiled.
"Heleana, good luck." I introduced myself and wishing her a good luck.
We started fighting with each other, her force was strong as she pushed me on my shoulder. I could not escape to her swords but I kicked her, causing her to fall and then I put the sword around her neck. I was about to continue killing her but something stopped me. I suddenly came back to my senses when my opponent answered.
"You're great! I hope we can be friends." Janine said as she held out her hand. "I look forward to the next rehearsal with you."
I shook also her hand. "You're better than me, I'm sorry because I almost killed you." I apologized myself to her.
"I understand, we all want to live again." She said while smiling.
Back then, I really wanted to die but now my mind has changed. I want the Lord to give me another chance to live or even Hudas to grant my request.
We were the only ten eating at the table. We were just quiet, Madam Miranda was gone. The women were talking, I just kept my mouth shut.
"Honestly we are not really fifty anymore." The woman said that caused us all to looked at her. "We are at least forty-six now."
"How-" Janine didn't finish her question.
"My four acquaintances came out last night, I went with them but we heard a loud footstep in the other room. The truth is that, we planned to run away from this place but I did not continue on going with them, I went back with Kiana." She looked at the woman on the other side of the table, if I am not mistaken her room was the number fourteen.
"We did not sleep all night because of conscience, because we left our companions." She regretfully said and began to cry over her story. "We saw blood in the hallway while our housemates and maids were cleaning in the area. It was full of blood in the ground floor last morning. If I'm not mistaken, it was Jennie and her companions." She said causing us to feel scared.
"I'm scared." She said.
Suddenly the lights went off causing my heart to beat faster due to my nervousness. The light returned immediately but its color changed, turning into red instead of white.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Around six-thirty I guess." Yurika replied.
"Lock the doors and windows in this room. We can only get out at seven o'clock in the evening." I told them, they did what I ordered to them. It's good that I'm still carrying my sword from the fight earlier.
They immediately returned to the table, carrying candles, oil and salt.
"They have oil and salt in the kitchen? Wouldn't that burn them?" A woman asked.
"We're in hell girl, do you think they'll still burn?" Janine sighed.
"How is there a salt and oil in this kind of place?" Yurika asked.
"There are maids from above who also serves in this kind of palace in disguise. "Said the woman who told the story earlier." But I do not know where she is. She may have been killed too. "
"So you mean there is an angel in disguise here? To save us?" Another woman asked.
"Yes." The woman answered woman.
"He also said something about bri-" She could not speak anymore because her whole body immediately exploded causing the blood to spread on the floor. All of us shouted in fear.
Some cried, some were nervous, some were scared and I was lying on my back and staring.
"What a HELL!" Janine shouted.
"What are we going to do?" A woman asked.
Yurika looked at me. Our eyes are full of fear and trepidation. A woman named Kiana stood up. She fell down again but she suddenly laughed that caused me to creep out on what she is doing. We were alone in the corner of the women, only Kiana was on a different corner.
"Omnes Ave satanas." She said it several times.
"That's enough!" The woman shouted and headed towards her. "That's enough!" The woman said and slapped the plate on her face that caused her to fell in the ground. Everything is already quite.
Everyone fell silent, the woman returned but it was too late when the clock fell on her head.
Kiana stood up again but her face was different, as if a spirit had entered her body.
Omnes Ave satanas!
She said that again but the sixth time and looked at me. She walked towards us but I did not realize that I was the only one who did not move in our area.
"How nice of you Heleana." She said and carried a knife. "What if I get your face dirty a little?" She smiled and brought the knife to my face causing me to close my eyes.
"I don't want to see your beautiful face, instead I want you dead." She said with a smile and laughed like a mad man.
I could feel the knife approaching my face, I just closed my eyes. I felt something explode in front of me. I opened my eyes and saw that I was full of blood, Kiana's blood. The colors of the lights have turned white.
I fainted because my whole body fell to the floor, the last thing I saw was Yurika coming towards me.
