The Famous Games
Chapter 5
Was Harry going too far? Well knowing me... I don’t know.
Dalloway opened the door followed by about a dozen of security guards dressed in green suits. One by one they took the poorly dressed celebrities into the room. Each one as they entered the room let out a blood-curdling scream. People would fight the guards not to pick them up, but as each one struggled a hard slap across the face was delivered.
I looked down the aisle to see Alexia with a huge band aid across her shoulder covering her arm. Wait a second. She had no arm! The poorly wrapped band aid was covering up a bloody stump. As soon as I was about to say something to her, a big hand grabbed my mouth and dragged me across the floor to the petite door way.
As soon as the guard dropped me inside the room I let out a loud scream.
Dalloway laughed.
“Everyone does that!” he laughed pointing a hand gun at my forehead, “We will make this quick huh? I have about 20,000 more 'pop' stars to deal with after you.”
“Why do you have me here?” I bellowed, clearly confused.
“Valentine, Valentine, Valentine. My poor little dear,” he lowered the gun while putting me in a little red chair in the middle of the huge room with big screens covering the walls, “Baby darling, would you mind to take a quick look at this video?”
“I have no choice,” I said a bit snippy.
Dalloway pressed a big red button on the wall, which caused the big screens to light up with a gruesome picture of a little boys bloody face.
“Oops. Sorry I have to rewind the video,” he whirled the tape backwards, showing glimpse of bloody faces, dead men and woman , and food and hunting, “there we go! Sit tight! This video is 20 minutes long!”
I grumbled.
“Hello, my name is Karman Lover,” a pretty middle aged woman announced on the screen in a deep British accent, “We all know you are a celebrity. You are a famous good for nothing teenager, that messes with normal citizens brains. This video will explain a little bit moooore about what will be happening to you for the next half month. Let’s start with the basics, you will be allowed a weapon, a partner, and a jacket that will keep you warm. Each will be given to you at the start of the games, which will be in seven days.” She switched her glance to the screen behind her,” this screen will show the arena you will be entering in seven days time. All celebrities will compete for life, and will be set out to murder the other 9 teams you will be against.” She smiled at this, somehow pleased, “This is what you will have to get used to,” the background image switched to the slide with the bloody boy, “I hope you don’t get to see yourself when you look like this, in seven days.” She kept repeating. The slides switched from gruesome little kids with scars and blood on their bodies. “Bye for now and if you get the chance to win, well I hope you get to visit me! Hopefully this video didn’t scare you much!”
The TV turned off. I was terrified. Will me and other celebrities go against each other? How could I ever kill another person?
“Baby, hopefully this video didn’t scare you much!” he mocked the beautiful blonde, “Don’t you worry your pretty little mind,” he sang, “people throw rocks at things that shine,” he sang slowly, emphasizing the rocks, “Oh, baby, your only a 1 in 20,000 chance.” He laughed, “Good thing is that you’ll be with your little Harry Styles, “ he mocked with a British accent, “ you will have 3 days to do whatever you want, but before that happens you will be dropped off into a salon with my high end professionals.” He smiled with his teeth clenched.
Dalloway hit another button on the wall. This time my big red comfy chair slipped from under me, leaving me no chance but to fall again into a deep pool of a red liquid.
“Hopefully I will get a chance to talk to you before you die,” Dalloway muttered as I sunk into the cool red acid.
