Rowen looked at Lucy, then at Tasha.
“Ow” Tasha suddenly whimpered, lowly, holding onto her stomach.
Rowen eyes blinked, in fright and took his hand off Lucy, unknowingly.
“You alright?” He asked.
Tasha shook her head, while her head was down. Her eyes were tightly closed.
Lucy was just watching behind. She looked at her hand which Rowen left, suddenly and sighed.
Without them knowing, She left their side.
“What’s really happening?” He asked, worriedly.
“My stomach. Its hurts like hell” She Mõ@ɲed.
“Oh no. Since when?” He rubbed his head.
“Yesterday” She answered, already sobbing.
“Wait,,, Lemme go call the game conductors. They had better pause this f_cking game for now” He said.
He turned but didn’t see Lucy anymore.
“Huh? Lucy? Lucy?” He called.
“Lucy!” He screamed.
*You’ve 60 seconds to bring your partner forward* The voice from the speaker said.
“I’m here. Can you stop screaming?” Lucy frowned, walking forward.
“Lucy…I-
“Save it. You don’t have to worry. I’ve a partner now” She pointed at Marshall.
“Oh…I guess she’s your partner?” Marshall asked looking at a sweaty Tasha.
Rowen looked at Tasha and nodded, slowly. Lucy only scoffed.
“Let’s hurry to the front. We’ve just 10 seconds more” Lucy said and started walking.
“Lucy?” Rowen ran to her.
“What’s it?” She asked, not sparing him a glance.
“I think something is wrong with Tasha. Her baby-
“Your baby?” Lucy corrected, sarcastically.
Rowen inhaled.
“What do you think is wrong?”
“I don’t care”
“Lucy. You’re a doctor…please, save the baby”
“I’m not talking as a doctor right now but as your wife. I don’t care. I never realized you were this stupidly bolf to even ask me this question” She snarled and walked faster, away from him.
Rowen went to the closer game conductor.
“Please,,, Help…My…my…girlfriend is sick” He told to her.
“We’ve no business with that” The game conductor replied coldly.
Rowen gulped and went to Tasha who was walking slowly.
“Tasha?” He whispered.
“Its fine. I’m getting better” She forced a smile, despite her pale face.
“Just…just try..for your…I mean our baby,,, okay?”
She smiled and nodded.
They all finally stopped in front of the game conductors/supervisors.
Tasha looked around. She saw the people with their partners and they stood close to each other.
Marshall and Lucy.
Gerald and Leah.
Gavin and Helen.
Simpson and Karen.
Kelly and Fat Joe.
Freddy and Phoebe.
“Wait,,, All of Team A must know Lucy to be Rowen’s wife, right? But why are they all pretending with Rowen? Pretending like he wasn’t married and I was the only one for him? What’s going on? Why were they all grooving with Rowen?” She thought, looking still around, holding her tears in.
“Now. Listen to this particular game rule. Note that I’ll only explain this once* The voice said from the speakers and everyone looked up.
*In front of you, where the demarcation line starts are secured but transparent sacks bags and heavy ropes*
*All you have to do a partner to take a single rope first.. *
Everyone did as they were told.
*Tie your legs with your partner with the rope, and oh, a spoiler, it should be very tight to avoid problems which would later lead to elimination*
They all bent down and tied their legs together.
*Next, grab the sack bags and enter it*
Everyone started murmuring loudly.
The game conductors made their guns give a clicking sound and they all kept quiet.
*Yes. Most of you might be thinking and saying right*
*This is a two-legged race in a sack bag*
*If you fall, you and your partner will be eliminated*
*If we notice your ropes losing, you’ll be eliminated*
*Simple and sweet, huh?*
*Please, stand in a straight line. Once, you receive the signal, you start racing to the finish line*
They all stood in a straight line. They heard a gun shot which scared them. It was however the signal.
*You have only 15 minutes*
They started moving.
“Hey…Guys!” Kelly called.
Team A faced them.
“You might think this game isn’t hard but it quite scary. Listen. Don’t worry, I’ll be brief” He said.
*Poww!* The guns got to action, immediately.
“You don’t really nees to run during this race. If you do, you might affect the speed of your partner and thus, due to the connected ropes, falling is prone to happen and you know falling down, could end you two lives” He started.
“So, what you need to do is to concentrate with your partner. Don’t run. Just…jump. You signal to your partner, I…2…jump and at the same time, you both will jump in sync”
“Remember, at the same time! If you stagger, you must fall cause there’s nothing supporting you. Your legs have been tied up too, remember? It might even lead to your partner’s fall”
“By the way, One of the rule states if a partner fall, its the termination of the two. Just stay safe”
“Anyways, That’s all. Who wanna add anything?” Kelly asked.
There was silence.
“Let’s go then. Joseph?” Kelly called.
Fat Joe faced him.
Kelly sighed.
“Let’s do well”
“Right” He nodded.

“Okay…1,2…jump!” Phoebe said to Freddy and they did.
“Phoebe?” He called.
“What? 1,2…Jump”
They jumped once more.
“I wanted to ask you yesterday but couldn’t muster up myself to ask you”
“1,2…Jump!”
“Gosh. This is so scary” She shook her head.
“So,,, Phoebe. What did you dream about yesterday?”
“1,2…Ju- Phoebe paused and looked at him.
“Why? What’s it?” She asked, coldly.
“I wanna know” He answered.
“I don’t wanna remember it!”
“Answer me, Phoebe! I know you do. It could help the confession I have for you get easier”
“You are asking me this now out of all times? Don’t be crazy, old man. I don’t even wanna talk about it and you cant force me” She hissed.
Freddy slapped her hard on her cheek, out of anger.
Her face shifted to the other side and her full long hair stayed all over her face.
“You…foolish girl!” He spat.
“Darn it” She cussed under her breath.
“I don’t even have your time. I’m beginning to h@ťě you!” Phoebe shouted.
“Gosh! What are those two doing? There’s no time” Simpson looked back and shook his head. written by sommy pearl f.
“I’m actually regretting why I accepted partnering up with you!” She screamed.
“Wh@ťěver. Let’s end this race and when we do, Don’t talk to me. Don’t look at me. When I leave here, Disown me, please!” She added.
“Now,,, Jump!” She said, and suddenly raised her legs up but Freddy didn’t move.
“No!Grandpa!!!” She screamed, falling to the ground.
A game conductor sensed this movement and raised her gun up.

So, who else thinks Phoebe deserves what’s coming her way? Or should I say their (she and freddy’s) way??
