As I tossed and turned on the cold hard floor alongside 40 other girls, I tried countlessly to empty my mind of all thoughts such that I could drift off into unconsciousness in order to get some rest since I am participating in the next game.

  But how could I? In this weird fucked up pce being forced to py an equally messed up “game” by unknown people with unknown intentions. I tried to think about things that made me feel comfortable and at ease as that was what I normally did when I had difficulty sleeping.

  The first thing that came to my mind was my family. How I wished to be able to see them again. The warmth of my loving parents and older brother that somehow always managed to help me be at ease.

  Before I knew it, I had finally managed to drift off into sleep.

  The next thing I knew however was the sound of an arm bell ringing. I had zero idea on how long I managed to sleep or even rest my body but that did not matter now. I knew what was coming and started to mentally prepare myself.

  I looked around and the other girls in the room started to wake up one after another as a result of the bring arm. While it was not stated what that arm was for, it was safe to say that every girl in this room knew what it meant.

  It was time for the next game to begin. A game where myself and 5 other girls were about to be part of.

  I wanted to finalize our pn for the game which I had made with Aya, Ichigo and Yuka before it began but luck was not on my side as the room was flooded with the same guards that appeared before the previous game began.

  They were armed with rifles as per usual and had a sick perverted look on their faces which gave me the creeps. The leader of the guards then called out the names of the participants and I stood up reluctantly alongside Aya, Ichigo, Yuka, Kanade and the weird blue haired girl named Natsume.

  I took a quick look at the faces of the other girls in the room whose names were not called and even though they appeared to have calmed down, I could sense that they were still uneasy due to the ck of knowledge of what’s to come.

  When all 6 of us gathered in front of the guards, the metal gate opened once again to allow us passage into the dreaded game arena with those imprisoned creeps.

  As we were walking through the dimly lit passage, I was overcome with a strong feeling of trepidation as it was a completely different feeling watching from the screen and soon to be the ones being watched from the screen.

  I went over to Aya, Yuka and Ichigo who had worried looks on their faces and started a conversation with them.

  “Girls, I know all of you must be feeling scared and worried but remember that we are a team and we will somehow get through this ordeal together.”

  Aya unsurprisingly was the first one to reply to me.

  “Yeah, Yuzu’s absolutely right. There is no point worrying at this juncture. Our best course of action now is to get into the mindset that we can survive and escape from those perverted bastards.”

  “Yup, not to mention the weapons we made to protect ourselves.” Ichigo joined the conversation with her upbeat attitude.

  “I’m still afraid... but I’m sure that if we stick together everything will work out somehow.” Yuka chipped in softly.

  After reassuring that our pact to stick together for the game is still in effect, I gnced over to the 2 other girls. Kanade just walked with confidence and a dead serious look on her face through the corridor.

  I wanted to make use of the opportunity to talk to her one st time before the game started but I decided against it as I did not want to disrupt her razor sharp focus.

  Meanwhile the other light blue haired girl with us was quite literally grinning to herself. Her smile was nothing I have ever seen before. It would be safe to say that if I saw her on the streets I would think that she was a serial killer. Since she did not appeared to be worried whatsoever about our impending fate, I chose not to interact with her as well and readied my resolve as we were reaching the end of the tunnel.

  Soon, the dark tunnel was illuminated with a bright light that signaled its end. While I had already seen the “game arena” from the previous game, it was a completely different feeling to actually be standing inside it.

  “LETS FUCKING GOO!!, NEW GIRLS TO PLAY WITH!!”

  “THAT BLACK HAIRED CHICK LOOKS CUTE!!”

  “YOO PINK HAIRED LITTLE GIRL!! WANT TO PLAY WITH ME?!!!

  The men held within the prison spared no time in cheering out with excitement once they knew of our presence in the arena.

  I felt like some sort of offering to the perverted beasts that were imprisoned here and I felt like throwing up. However, I quickly regained my composure and focus before huddling up with Ichigo, Aya and Yuka to reaffirm our pn.

  “All right girls, remember our pn. We stick together and try to outrun whoever is after us as a group and if push comes to shove, we make use of the weapons we made to stall them. The idea is to expend all the time and just survive.”

  The 3 other girls looked at me with determination in their eyes and I steadied my posture as I awaited the timer that appeared for the previous game to come down to signal the start of the game.

  As expected, the announcer’s usual energetic voice called out through the speaker system.

  “Good Morning dies, I hope all of you had a good rest as today will be a fun day for y’all! I’m sure all of you saw the fun game of tag we had yesterday with those 5 other girls who unfortunately failed to clear it. However, do not worry if the game is too predictable as today we will be making some tweaks to the rules. Today we will be pying a game called capture the fg! How exciting is this!!”

  “We’re fucked..”

  That was the first thought that came to my mind as I completely forgot about the possibility that the game we would be pying would be different. We had not pnned for this and to make it worse, we don’t even know the rules of the game which meant that we were also unable to make use of the current limited time before the game started to formute a strategy.

  “What should we do Yuzu??” Ichigo looked towards me desperately.

  “Will we become the py toys of those bad people??” Yuka followed up while hiding behind Aya.

  “This is unexpected but we do not have much of a choice. My master used to tell me to never show weakness even when faced with unknown adversities. We just have to trust our instincts and win whatever messed up game they have in store for us. Don’t worry you two, Yuzu and I will protect you.” Aya commented.

  Sensing Aya’s resolve, I nodded and reciprocated her determination to survive and escape this pce.

  “Yes of course. For now we should just remain calm and listen to the rules and we can think of a pn on the go.” I tried to reassure Ichigo and Yuka who were trembling in fear.

  Looking towards Kanade and Natsume, both of them seemed to not be fazed even with the sudden change in game which makes me question on who they actually are.

  The guards that brought us into the arena then took out several heart shaped stickers that were about the size of my palm and passed one to each of the 6 of us girls without expining their use. On cue, the announcer’s voice called out once again as he started to expin the rules.

  “Hey Girls, my dear colleagues have handed out a sticker to each of you. Do keep them close to you as they are extremely important in this next game. Those will be your fgs that you will have to protect from the prisoners. You are free to stick them on any part of your body or your clothing but take note that once your sticker is off your body or clothes, you will be disqualified and subsequently eliminated from the game. Today’s game will end when all the girls’ stickers have been lost, or when half of the prisoners have been eliminated. That is all. A pretty simple game isn’t it?”

  Listening to the rules, it seemed to be in our favor since we had the freedom to pce the sticker anywhere we want on our body but in actuality it was going to be a war of attrition since there was no fixed time limit which meant that we could not just hide and expend the time.

  But what worried me the most was the word “Eliminated” which hints that they expect us to combat the prisoners and defeat them which was not going to be a walk in the park since we had no idea what we were dealing with. Not to mention that we were going to be against people from all shapes and sizes like in the game of tag we witnessed.

  As I was thinking of a pn and where to pce my sticker, the room suddenly turned pitch bck. It was so dark that I could not even see my own fingers. In the looming darkness, the announcer’s voice called out once again.

  “All right girls, I am an advocate for fairness so I will be giving all of you a minute to quickly stick your sticker in your desired spot such that the prisoners won’t get an advantage in locating them. Or rather, some of them may consider it a greater thrill to slowly search your bodies for their prize.”

  “HELL YEAH!!”

  “THIS IS MAKING ME EXCITED!!”

  “I’M ABOUT TO BURST FROM THOSE GIRLS!!”

  “I HOPE I WIN THE LOTTERY TODAY!!”

  The perverts started calling out from their cells praying that they would be the lucky ones chosen to participate in the game. Trying to zone them out of my mind, I quickly started thinking of where to hide my sticker.

  It was quite rge and I was wearing a sundress which meant that pcing the sticker on my arms would basically be giving them a free sonar. The dress ended at my kneecaps so I thought about sticking it on my inner thigh but I decided against it as well since I was afraid that it would accidentally drop off as I was running.

  Counting down in my head mentally, I had about 20 seconds left to decide and I quickly reached underneath the hem of my white sundress. I reached inside my panties and quickly pasted the sticker on my left butt cheek. It was definitely going to be uncomfortable but it was the safest pce I could think of.

  Just as my hands returned from underneath my dress, the lights turned back on which temporarily blinded me from the sudden shift in brightness. The announcer then started calling out the perverts that would be participating in the game with us today.

  “Congratutions to our lucky lottery winners for today. Numbers 023, 045, 100, 199, 256 and oh this is a surprise. We have a VIP participating today as number 008 was chosen as well. I like to express my heartfelt congratutions to the lucky 6 winners for today once again. Now without any further dey, let the games begin.”

  As the announcer’s dreaded voice cut off, the sound of doors unlocking hollered through the whole arena as 5 unlocked doors could be heard.

  “Wait, weren’t there 6 people he mentioned? Why did only 5 doors open?” I questioned out loud.

  “Maybe its something to do with the VIP he was talking about. In any case, our original pn to just run and expend time is no longer possible so for now lets just stick together and avoid being caught by those creeps before anything else. We can make a pn ter.” Aya suggested to which Ichigo, Yuka and I nodded in agreement with her idea.

  The 4 of us then started running as we spotted 2 unlocked doors on the ground floor which was where we were on which meant that 2 prisoners were about to start coming after us.

  “Lets go up to the higher floors first and we can think from there. We are going to get surrounded if we just stay on this floor.” Ichigo suggested as we all followed her lead to the staircase that led upwards.

  As we were running, I took a quick gnce to search for Natsume and Kanade’s whereabouts. Somehow, both of them had already disappeared from our starting point and they were nowhere to be seen. While I was worried for their safety as well since they both operated alone, I shrugged it off and reassured myself that both of them will be fine and that I had to worry about myself and the 3 others in my group first.

  As we bolted up the staircase, Aya and Ichigo took the lead since they were more athletic while I was third in line. I turned around and saw that Yuka was already panting and struggling to keep up hence I took her hand in order to pull her to run.

  From my peripheral vision, while I could not see the appearance of the 2 prisoners that were on the ground, I could see that they were sprinting at top speed towards the staircase we were on which was not a good sign.

  “HELPPP!!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!”

  I heard Yuka shout for the first time and in the split second I turned my head to look at Yuka, a figure leapt off the ledge on the third floor and jumped on top of the both of us and pinned us to the cold hard ground. Before anything, I shouted at the top of my lungs towards Aya and Ichigo.

  “RUN!!”

  I attempted to ensure at least the 2 of them escaped such that they would not become colteral as I quickly tried to get a grasp on the situation in front of me.

  I saw a creepy man who looked to be in his forties grinning from ear to ear as he used his rge body to pin me down on the ground. I looked over to Yuka and I saw another man who appeared to be in his thirties who was grabbing onto her leg tightly which caused her to lose her bance as well. Her body fell to the ground with a loud thud and she was barely moving from what I could see from the side of my eyes.

  I wanted to help her but I was unable to move my legs due to the sheer body weight of the man that was pinning me down. Yuka screamed out but I was powerless and to make matters worse, there was a prisoner on top of me as well.

  He used both one hand to pin down both my legs and the other to hold my chest to ensure I was unable to struggle. The feeling was horrible to say the least. No man had ever gotten this near to my body before and I was quite literally about to piss myself from the fear of what is about to happen to me.

  His hand that was on my legs shifted to the hem of my white sundress and he slowly started to lift it up. Bit by bit I could feel the cool air making contact with my knees and then my thighs.

  I was about to be sexually assaulted.

  “Now little girl, you're a real cutie. I'll make sure to have lots of fun with you. Now, lets see where that dear fg of yours is..”
