Chapter Eight: Run For Your LIVES!

"Where are we going?" Juliet asked holding onto Todd's forearm. She had tied her bubblegum pink hair up.

"I don't know." whispered Todd, shaking his head. "I just don't know."

"I can't believe what happened at the bridge."

Everyone became quite. Just minutes ago, they saw their fellow cast mates and sometimes friend Kurt get crushed by a giant grey tail. It brought down the entire bridge with it, leaving the people in the film lot to find a new way out of it.

"Are you okay to walk?" Liam asked Blair. He used a really soft tone, that took the others by surprise. "If you're not, you can still stay on my shoulder."

"Liam, I think I'm fine." Blair ran a hand through her dark brown locks. She was covered in dust and her knees were bloody. "Do guys know where we're going?"

The camera turned to the others, most of them looking down and out. Helicopters flying loudly above them. That didn't stop people from sneaking into trailers and running out with a bunch of stolen stuff.

"Maybe we should see what's going on in there." Chetan eyebrow raised. The other cast mates turned their heads to a certain someone's trailer.

That certain someone being Chris McLean.

"No, guys we can't do that." Juliet called out after the other teens. Jason pushed out the door and they spilled inside. The trailer was huge and covered in photos of the raven-haired host. Some of him smiling, and others showing Chris trying his best at serious.

"I think he left his bathtub on." Annaleigh said as water leaked from under the door. The blonde opened it and it showed a running bath complete with bubbles.

She turned her head to the camera, confused.

"I'm guessing he left in a hurry?"

"What a waste of bubbles." Annaleigh shook his head, before staring at herself in the mirror. "Oh my god! He has my perfect shade of masacara. Cobalt Black."

"Guys, I think you might want to see this." Jason's voice called out from the living room. The camera followed Annaleigh as they walked back to the living room. Everyone was surrounding the television. On the TV was a live broadcast of whatever was going on. It showed Military personnel shooting at some crab-like thing that was falling off of the grey monster.

"From what we can see Bob, Miltary personnel is trying to create a blockade and is persuading everyone to evacuate the premises."

It switched to an aerial view of the monster. It seemed to walk like a gorilla and it was screaming out to the sky.

"Mary it appears that things are falling off of the creature."

"Yes! It does." screamed the on field reporter. "They are pieces of it falling down on the street. Whatever they are, they are moving." It showed one of the crab-like things jumping on a civilian. "Oh my god!"

Todd walked over to the television and shut it off. He stared down at his friends.

"I don't know what is going on but I know that we have to get find an evacuation site."

Blair shook her head. "But where's the closest one? What if we can't find one?"

The camera zoomed in on her crying on Annaleigh's shoulder. The two ex-friends actually embracing each other. Everyone just looked at each other.

"We'll find one. I promise you guys that we'll find one." Todd said seriously as he squeezed Blair's shoulder. The queen bee placed her hand on his.


"Did you see those things?"

Chetan cracked her knuckles. "What could those things have been anyways?"

"Maybe they're it's babies?" said Annaleigh. She poured water from her water bottle into her hand and rubbed it through her hair.

"I don't think they were it's offspring." Kyle's voice said. "I think that they were more like parasites."

"Whatever they are." Jason grinned. "I'm ready to kill it's ugly ass."

The group was walking through the empty city streets. Other than a lone person running in an opposite direction, they hadn't really seen that many people lately.

"I really hope our other friends are okay." Juliet quipped, looking back at the camera. Even though Juliet had barely gotten to know the cast, she was extremely worried for everyone's well being as it could be seen on her worried face.

"I'd die to know how Chanel was doing right now." Annaleigh sighed as they hear a loud screech. They knew that it was coming from the creature, but they didn't want to say it out aloud.

Blair's eye were watering. "I really hope that Riley's okay. One minute he was right next to me. We were both running away from the hotel and then in the dust, I couldn't find him. I could hear his voice but I don't find him. That when I felt it coming and hide under a car." Tears started streaming down her face. "He was right next to me."

Liam rubbed her back as they walked. "Now I beat I'm the last people you want to hear from right now but I bet you that Riley's alright. He's a pretty tough son of a bitch."

Blair unexpectedly hugged Liam. He was taken a bit back by it but he still hugged her back. He ran his fingers through her hair as they took a break.

A several blocks away, fiery plumes filled the sky.

"But where do you think Chris went?"

"Dude, I bet you that douche knew about this and is already out of here." Jason said as they continued to walk through the city streets.

"It wouldn't shock me." Blair grumbled as she stumbled on her heels. Liam always a few steps behind ready to catch her.

"If I remember correctly this should be where the diner is." Jason said, as he turned into a alleyway. Some of the teens were resistant to walk into it.

"Okay, I'm not walking through some dingy nasty alley." Blair complained. Her hands were on her hips and a disgusted expression was on her face.

"Well princess, you can always just walk around and run into that thing."

Blair stomped her foot like a child and stormed into the alleyway. The whole place was dripping with water and smelled like rotten eggs and spoiled milk.

"Jason, this place reeks." Liam said as they walked down the dimly lit alleyway.

Water beads dropped on the camera lens. A red fabric pulled up on the screen and cleaned it. It was pulled up and showed Kyle smiling at it. His hair covered in dust and a small gash on his cheek.

"What were you even doing back here?" Chetan asked as she raised her leg over a pile of garbage. All Jason did was raise his eyebrow and no one asked anything after.

"Help!" yelled two voice from behind them. Everyone stared at each other in confused.

"Who the hell could that be?" Todd asked as he tired to see through the darkness. The dim light shining above them flickering wildly. Annaleigh let out a gasp as a loud thump came from the darkness. Behind them Blair had gripped onto Liam's forearm tightly. Chetan gripped an iron pipe, shaking in her hands.

"Woo!" screamed Mark as he held his hands up. "I hope that pipe isn't up for me."

"Maybe it was." Chetan mumbled as she threw the pipe into the trash. "Where the hell did you come from?"

"He was with me." A familiar voice said as she walked out of the darkness. It was Kimberly. Her red hair was matted to her face and she had several gashes.

"Did you see what happened back there?" Mark asked as Annaleigh hugged him. "What was that thing? Have you guys even seen anyone else?"

Everyone remained quite. They wished they could give him an answer.

"The last thing I remembered was the argument in the courtyard and then rumble and fire." Mark said as they stood around in a circle.

"There has to be a logical reason why this is all happening." Kimberly said as she flipped her red hair.

"So is your logical reason, Kimberly?" Blair snapped. Liam stood behind Blair defensively. "Because I would love to know why some god damn monster appeared out of no where."

A smirk on Liam's face cause Kimberly to glare at him. The camera spun between Blair and Kimberly.

"Look being angry at each other isn't going to get us anywhere." Juliet held her hands up. Everyone looked shocked as the usually polite teenager raised her voice." We need to stick together right now."

"Well the alleyway goes just for a little bit more and I remember that the diner was near a terminal."

"You better be right about this." Chetan said as she bumped into Jason.

The group continued walking through the dimly lit passageway. Annaleigh's hand was clamped down on Mark forearm. Kimberly was grimacing at the conversation between Jason and Chetan.

"Hey guys, wouldn't it be shocking if we see a bum on fire?"

"Why would we want to see that?" Kimberly asked, looking at the camera annoyed.

"Oh my god!" cried Annaleigh. Her blue eyes looking around scared. "How would light a poor bum on fire!"

"Well they use to do it New York City and since this a NYC set, wouldn't that be authentic."

"Well lets just hope that Chris didn't go all out with these sets." Todd said, shaking his head.

"I still think it'd be pretty cool." muttered Kyle as he zoomed in onto Todd and Juliet holding hands. A sly smile on Juliet's bow-shaped lips.

"Hey, I see the street!" Jason cried out from in front of the group. Smiles and sighs of relief coming from everyone.

As they were walking out of the alleyway, a group of people ran over towards them. They ran as if something was coming towards them.

"Run!" yelled a intern that would always be smoking out near the hotel. He stood in front of the camera, a frantic look on his face. "Dude, save yourself."

"Man, are you high?"

"No I'm not high!" screamed the intern before running off down the alleyway.

"Tengo una familia." A gorgeous Hispanic man begged to Kimberly. "Me necesitan."

¡Ayúdeme! ¡Ayúdeme!" (1)

Kimberly pushed his hands off of her shirt. "First of all, I don't know Spanish amigo, and second. This is Vera Wang!"

The Hispanic man stared at her confused as Kimberly ran off.

Jason and Liam looked down the alleyway. They were both staring at a blonde head running down the alleyway, her hands waving above her head frantically.

"Dude, was that Paris Hilton?" (2) asked Jason, as he tiled his head. His eyes focus on her butt.

"I think that was her."

Blair cleared her throat behind the two guys. A stern look on her hand and her arms crossed over her chest. "Now if you guys are done staring, we have a terminal to get too."

Kyle followed behind them to the street. It was covered with people trying to get to the planes in front of them. Bright lights shined in the teens faces.

"Guys stick together!" yelled Todd as the crowed started to push them apart. The camera could see Blair and Liam holding onto Annaleigh's hand. The crowd trying to push Annaleigh away.

"Mark, where are you going?" yelled Jason as they stared at the party animal rush through the crowds. The military was pushing everyone back as they tried to get onto a helicopter.

"Civilians please calm down." yelled one from a mega-phone. "You will all be taken away from this film lot."

"Please don't tell me." Blair started as she glared at a raven-haired man climbing into a helicopter. "That that's Chris Mclean!"

The man turned around to show that familiar cocky grin, those cobalt black eyes, and smug attitude. Of course it was Chris Mclean.

"Why does he get to go first!"

"Because I'm Chris Mclean!" Chris said through the megaphone. "Duh!"

Everyone started pushing again towards the helicopter pad. Chris wave everyone a wave before boarding his helicopter. The crowd yelling loud and furiously.

"Mark! Get back over here!" yelled Annaleigh as Blair and Liam held her back.

Mark looked back angrily at them. "If that douche Chris Mclean and get a ride, why not us!"

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH!

The grey creature sent Chris's helicopter flying into a building, it exploded into a fiery ball. It fell a couple of feet from where Chetan and Jason were standing.

Everyone ran from the screaming creature. It's jagged mouth screaming into the night sky.

"Run!" screamed Liam as he grabbed Annaleigh and Blair's hands. The camera shaked as it followed behind them, Annaleigh turning around every so often.

"Oh my god! Mark!" Annaleigh gasped, turning around. Everyone turned around to see Mark and a group of others get crushed under the monsters foot.

"Duck!" The camera ducked behind a car as a tank rolled down the street, shooting at the creature. Blair and Annaleigh were holding each other and Liam was yelling at Todd from across the street.

"What are we going to do? What are we going to do?"

The loud sounds of the rockets and bullets filled the street. Dust covered the creature, so it was barely seeable. Blair held Annaleigh closely as the blonde cried.

Liam pointed out towards the trees at the end of the streets. It was clearly a jungle set. "Go to the jungle!" Liam tired to yell over the loud booms.

Jason shrugged, not understanding what he was saying.

"Look, we're going to run towards the trees."

"Liam, I don't know." screamed Blair. "I think we've seen enough trees."

"Would you rather get shot or squashed by that thing!"

Blair shook her head, as the brunette squeezed her Annaleigh's hand. Liam grabbed Blair's hand and started running off towards the jungle.

"Oh my god!" yelled Kyle. The camera turned around to see the monster stomp down just a couple of yards from them.

A burning fireball was coming towards the camera until it was knocked down into the grass.

"Kyle, man are you okay?" Todd's voice asked as coughing and sobbing could be heard. Bullets and screeching sounded off to the distance.

"Yeah. I'm fine" Kyle coughed. "What the hell was that thing?"

The camera was picked up and showed a dark jungle. Creepy vines falling over the trees and a feeling that something was staring at you.

"Did you see where Chetan and Jason went?" Blair asked as she had her arms wrapped around Annaleigh. The blonde was sobbing dramatically.

"Did Mark really get crushed by that thing?"

"Annaleigh, listen to me." Blair held her friend in her arms. "We need to survive this. You have a family that is counting on you to survive so please calm down."

"Man, that thing really crushed Mark."

Blair and Liam looked back at the camera sternly. "Sorry."

"Jason!" cried out Liam as he looked around. "Chetan!"

"Can you believe that I made out with Mark." Annaleigh muttered to Blair. A smile on her lips. "And he wasn't that bad. Poor Mark."

Blair giggled, her head shaking. "Annaleigh, why did I ever stop talking to you."

"I don't know but I miss you." Annaleigh hugged Blair unexpectedly. The queen bee hugged her tightly. The camera turned to the shaking leaves in front of them.

"Hey! What did I miss?" asked Jason as Chetan helped him up. The rebel was bleeding from his lip. He looked pretty banged up.

"What happened?"

"I got thrown into a tree." Jason rubbed his neck. "And it was big tree okay."

Chetan shook her head behind him, with a coy smile.

"So where is Juliet and Todd?" Chetan asked as she sat down Indian-style. "Oh and the annoying red head."

"That annoying red head is right here." Kimberly said as she made her way through leaves. Her red hair was filled with leaves and her knees were scrapped and bloodied.

"Shit" muttered Chetan as she sat next to Annaleigh and Blair.

"Did you see Todd and Juliet?" asked Jason as Kimberly pulled out a vine from her puffy red head.

"They were right behind me." Kimberly shrugged. "I guess they went off alone."

The camera zoomed out to show everyone's annoyed, pissed off, or confused glares.

A loud cough came from behind the leaves that Kimberly had just come from.

Todd and Juliet were completely covered in leaves and they were both glaring at Kimberly.

"Thanks for running off." Juliet said as she plopped down tired. Todd leaned against a tree.

"You're welcome."

"Guys if you haven't noticed, we're in the middle of the jungle." Chetan interrupted everyone as she pointed around her.

"Actually a jungle set."

Chetan glared at the camera. "So how the hell are we going to get out of here and find an evacuation center?"

"I say we keep moving north." Todd said as he pointed forward. "If any we'll find an exit somewhere from this set."

"I don't think it'd be smart of us to walk through this jungle." Kimberly said as she looked around.

"Set." Kyle's voice said off screen.

"Whatever."

"Well I'm going where ever Todd is going." Chetan said as she walked over to the messy haired brunette. A smirk on his lips.

One by one everyone walked over to where Todd was standing, even Blair walked over without a complaint. Kimberly just looked at everyone as if she'd been smacked in the face.

"So are you coming?" Todd asked the drama queen as he started walking forward.

Kimberly dropped her crossed arms and huffed by the camera angrily. "I have no choice."


"Man, I can't see a thing!" cried out Todd's voice in the darkness.

"Who's touching me!"

"Um…I think that was me."

"Kyle, doesn't the camera have a light or something?" Blair's voice asked in the darkness.

"I don't know. It should."

A moment later, a blinding white light filled the area in front of it. All of the other teenagers covered their eyes and faces from the light. "Found it."

"I think we noticed genius." Kimberly muttered as she patted at her arm.

"Man, these guys really make these sets as authentic as possible." Juliet said as water was dripping down from the trees. The whole jungle was filled with monkey cries, growls and rustling trees.

"I guess I'll stay in the back." Kyle said as she move the camera over to where Liam was checking out on Blair's leg.

"Are you okay?" he asked in a tone that was completely uncharacteristic for the bad boy. His green eyes looked up at hers with a look of care.

Blair nodded, as she looked away from him. "I'm fine Liam, you don't have to worry about me."

Liam stood up straight and cheered out his hand. "Of course I have to care Blair."

Blair pursed her lips as she took his hand. He wrapped her arm over his shoulder.

"I hope you don't think I forgive you."

"I didn't expect it." said Liam as he looked down at Blair's brown eyes and started walking again.

"So what do you think it is?"

The camera turned to the right where Annaleigh held her hand to her face.

"Sorry about that Annaleigh."

"It's fine." She giggled as she walked beside Kyle. "I thought that you should have someone to talk to since you were back here alone."

"Well thank you."

"So what do you think that thing is?" Annaleigh asked, her blue eyes looking at the camera nervously.

"I don't know. It could have came from the sea or something?"

"You think so?" Annaleigh tilted her head. Her blonde waves falling gracefully. "But how could something that big be down there and no one had ever seen it?"

"Well I heard they found this fish that everyone was extinct but they found it."

"What's extinct?" Annaleigh asked confused.

Jason patted Annaleigh's shoulder. "It's when something is here anymore."

"Oooh! Oh my god!" Annaleigh cried sadly. "Maybe that's why that thing is angry. Because it's extinct."

"Does she notice the things that come out of her mouth?" whispered Chetan as she walked by Jason.

"You'll get used to it" He said as Chetan accidentally bumped her shoulder into his. He ran a finger through his black hair.

"If I didn't know better, I would think you did that on purpose."

"Oh you freaking wish." Chetan laughed as they walked ahead of the camera.

"You know I do wish." Jason said as Chetan smirked. The two friends looking at each other.

"Well keep dreaming."

"Don't worry I will." He said as he watched Chetan walk over to Todd and Juliet.

"Man, do those lines ever work?"

Jason turned around and winked. "What do you think made me Seventeen's hottest rebel?"

"I don't know. Stupid girls." Kyle said as Jason glared back at the camera. Annaleigh giggled next to Jason. "That was a good one."

"Oh screw you two." Jason sneered as he pushed his hands into his pockets and kept walking.

"He doesn't mean that." Annaleigh smiled back at the camera. "I learned that from last season, he's really a sweetheart."

"Am not!" yelled Jason from over near the front.

A loud crack boomed through the jungle. The camera pointed up to show a crack of lightening light up the sky.

"Oh just our luck." Kimberly scoffed as she looked up at the sky. "What else can possibly happen?"

"You don't possibly want to know."

Everyone looked back at the camera. "What it's true. It could always ra-"

"Don't you dare say it!" Blair glared back at the camera. "We're still on this set and if I know something about Chris Mclean, he probably rigged this place to start pouring if we say that word."

Everyone stayed quiet, agreeing with the queen bee. Even if Chris had just been monster chow, doesn't mean he would still mess with them.

"Wait." Annaleigh eyes lit up. "Is the word rai-"

Chetan put her hand over the blonde's mouth. A surprise squeak coming from her mouth.

"I say we get out of here pretty quick." Todd said looking around. "Because I don't know about you guys but this place is creeping me out."

As if on cue, a loud screech rang out through the jungle. The camera spun and showed Blair clutching on tightly to Liam. He looked down at her with his boyish grin and she quickly let go.

"Why could we have had Willow here?" Annaleigh pouted. "She's like awesome with jungles and woods. She the one that got us out last time."

"I'm pretty sure her name is Willie." Juliet quipped as she played with her bubblegum pink ends. "And I do agree, we would have probably gotten out by now."

"Dude, do you really think that everyone's dead?" Chetan asked as she kicked a rock with her combat boots. "Like that'd be pretty fucked up if we survived and everyone else is dead."

Everyone stood quickly. A another crack of thunder rang above them.

"Look I don't mean to be the bitch here." Kimberly said as a couple of the teens scoffed. "But I mean c'mon, we need to get the hell out this jungle and survive."

Everyone began to trudge again as lighting filled the jungle.

"Dude isn't it like dangerous to use electronics during lighting storms?" Todd said as he looked in front of him. Juliet was close by his side.

"I don't care." Kyle could be heard saying. "I need to keep filming, people would want to see this."

"So I guess it's pretty awesome that you're doing this." Juliet smiled at him.

"I guess so. Hopefully people will see this and know what the hell that thing is."

"Oh shit, look!" Liam said as he pointed ahead of them. In front of them as a tree blazing, probably a strike of lighting hit it. "Can we grab some branch for fire?"

"That's pretty smart idea Liam." Todd said as he walked with Liam over to the burning tree.

"Finally some freaking light." Chetan said as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "No offence but that camera light was getting pretty annoying."

"Oh thanks for reminding me." Kyle hand came in front of the camera. The light quickly shut off. The fire casting an orange hue against the teens faces.

"Oh my god!" That's freaking nasty!" Blair screamed as she looked down at her feet. The camera pointed to the ground to show rats running all in the same direction.

"They're all running the same direction." Jason noticed as the rodents ran around the tree and into the darkness again.

"Why would they be doing that?" Annaleigh asked as she raised her knee-high boot clad foot. A rodent running from under her leg and it seemed to give her a thumbs up.

"Maybe their running away from something…" Kimberly muttered, just as a loud screech rang out from behind them.

"Kyle, does that camera that in the dark mood?" Jason asked quietly. His face sternly as he stared at the trees in front of him.

"Yeah, I'm sure it does." The camera shook as Kyle fumbled with it. "There I've got it."

Lightening cracked above them and the rain started to pour down on them.

The camera raised again to show three of those crab monster things that were falling off of the monster. One of the creatures was swinging on a tree branch and flew off it.

"Run! Run! Just run!" yelled Kyle as the camera started shaking and screaming could be heard. "Oh my god! Oh my god!"

One of the crab monster flew on top of Juliet, knocking her down. It's jaw snapping at her. It's legs running all over the romantics back.

Jason tried to get it away but it just screeched at it and snapped at his hand.

"Juliet! Oh my god!" screamed Blair as she turned around.

Liam and Todd came back with branches on fire. Todd swung his branch at the creature as he kicked it away. "Get away from her motherfucker!"

Just as the camera turned around, one of the creatures flew straight at the lens. It's jaws snapping at the lens. The camera laid on the ground showing Jason kicking at one of them.

Chetan tired kicking at the creature but another one flew on top of her, tumbling her to the ground. She was kicking and punching the creatures snapping jaw.

The camera shook again. showing one of the creature still biting at Kyle. He tried kicking at the furious creature. Its jaw biting near his junk.

"Ahh! It's trying to eat my dick!"

"Get off of him! Get off of him!" Annaleigh yelled as she swung at the creature on top of Kyle, with a large branch. "Leave him al-AHHHH!"

Blood splattered on the camera lens as another crab like monster flung on top of Annaleigh and begun dragging her off into the jungle. Her hands sinking into the dirt as Annaleigh kicked at the creatures jaw with her heel.

"NOOOOO!" yelled Kyle as he stood up. He tried to go after her but another creature snapped at his hand. The camera flew down as a yellow substance covered bits of the screen.

It showed Annaleigh scared hand and a hand reaching out towards her before the creature dragged her deeper into the jungle.

"ANNALEIGH!"

A shot rang out from behind Kyle, flinging one off the creatures away from Blair.

Liam was holding out one of the familiar paintball guns (it was covered in guitar and had a huge L on it) from the last challenge. (3)

"Screw this!" yelled Kimberly as the camera turned to her.

"I'M NOT GOING TO DIE AROUND LOSERS LIKE YOU GUYS!" She ran off towards the right. A few seconds later, a bloodcurdling scream rang out from where Kimberly ran off towards.

"We need to go! Run! Run!" yelled Liam as he carried Blair in his arms. The camera shook as it followed the remain teens. The creatures screeching directly behind them. Mud flying everywhere as they crawled their way.

"In there!" yelled Chetan as she pointed up at a door ahead of them. Todd jumped and pushed the door open. He pulled up Blair and Juliet into the room.

"Go, go!" screamed Liam as he shot another one of the creatures in the head. Jason helped up an injured Chetan into the room.

Liam quickly dove up into the room and the camera looked back one more time as a pair of jaw snapped as it blocked the door from closing.

Juliet, Jason and Todd pushed the door shut as the creature pulled it's jaw out of the doorway. Juliet quickly hatched the door shut.


"Oh my god!" cried Blair. Her sobbing filling up the room.

The camera showed Kyle, a gash on his forehead. He wiped the blood and the weird yellow substance off the camera. He looked stunned and out of breath.

They were sitting in what seemed like a office. They were all soaked in water, mud and blood. The room had two vending machines and had a large sofa where Blair was sitting.

Jason, Juliet and Todd had slid down and were sitting against the door. Chetan had taken a seat next to the plastic white table in the center of the dim lit room.

"What about Annaleigh!" Blair screamed as everyone remained quiet. "She's still out there!"

Kyle turned the camera towards the queen bee. Her head was hung but the tears dripping onto the floor, told that she was crying.

Juliet walked away from the door and sat down next to Blair. She wrapped her arms around her and Blair quickly cried into her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" The camera turned to show Chetan holding her shoulder. A look of pain across her face.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" She grinned as she breathed deeply. "Check how bad it is."

The camera raised and zoomed on Chetan's injury. It was a large bite mark. It was pretty deep and blood was pouring out of it. "How bad is it?"

"It looks like it hurts…"

"So you're telling me that it doesn't look attractive." The rebellious girl smirked as she breathed in deeply. Blood spilling down her shoulder.

Behind her, Liam was prying the vending machine open with a crowbar. It gave a final pry and it few open, several bottles falling onto the ground.

"Here, you think you can wash it off?" Liam asked as he put a bottle next to Chetan. His face worried as he looked at her back.

"Sure, it's worth a shot." Chetan said as Liam and Kyle wet a couple of paper towels for her. Chetan grabbed them and pressed it against the wound, the look on her face said it all.

"Those things came out of nowhere."

"What the fuck were those things?" Jason asked from his spot at the door. He seemed to be out of breath.

"They took Annaleigh…" Blair could be heard sobbing. "They took one of my best friends."

"One of them tried to drag me away." Jason smirked as he rested his head back.

Chetan turned around with a grin. "Maybe he was trying to make you his queen."

"Thanks for saving me."

"No problem." Chetan grimaced as she squeezed the paper down on her bleed.

Todd stood up from his spot on the door and walked away from the rest of the teens. His face was confused and he had gashes all over his hands.

"Man, Chetan's hurt pretty bad." Kyle's voice said.

"I don't know what to do?" Todd let out, running a hand through his hair. "Maybe I can go out and look for help or something."

"You can't do that alone." Liam said squeezing Todd's shoulder. "You've got us and we'll go with you."

Juliet squeezed Chetan's shoulder as the raven-haired girl let out a gasp.

"I'm not staying in here." Chetan quipped. "I rather face whatever is out there than die in a dirty room."

"Are you okay to walk?" asked Todd as Chetan nodded.

"So let me get this straight. We can either die in here or outside?"

"We don't even know where we're going." Juliet said with a shrug. "Let's just go up there, look around and hopefully get some help."

Todd walked over to the door and opened it just a creak. After a second of watching, he opened the door and they walked out. Blair was still shaking but Liam was holding onto her tightly.

They walked out onto a New York City subway station. The tellers booth was empty and the fluorescent lights above flickered wildly.

"Fifty-Ninth street?" Blair looked confused. "We're on the East Side."

"Do you know where you are?" Todd asked Blair as she looked at the sign happily.

"Of course I know where I am."

A bright light shined from two doors in front of them. Todd walked towards it.

"That's weird."

He pulled the glass doors open into what seemed to be a department store. Around them was racks and racks of clothing. Blair looking at everything disgusted.

"What's wrong?" Juliet asked her as they followed Todd into the white light.

"Ugh! I think we just walked into Bloomingdales." The queen bee said pointing at the signature sign.

"What's wrong with Bloomingdales?"

"It's a department store." Blair cringed. "I would never be caught dead in one of these places."

"Hello?"

"Is anybody there?"

The camera turned around to Chetan. The wild child looked pale as if all the blood was sucked out of her. She was clutching her stomach and her eyes seemed to be closing on her.

"Are you okay?" Kyle's voice said from behind the camera.

"I'm a little dizzy." Chetan's eyes closing and she swayed.

"You want to sit down for a second?"

"Nah, I'll be fine." She shook her head. "Don't worry about me."

"She needs a doctor." Juliet's voice was heard off screen.

Chetan took a deep breath and stared at the white light ahead of them. "I'm fine."

"Ah!"

The camera turned around to show all the teens holding their hands up in the air. In front of them stood a couple of uniformed soldiers, all holding up their guns.

"Nobody move."

"It's just us." Juliet said to the solider, who remained aiming at them. "They're only seven of us."

"We've got seven civilians." A solider who was aiming at Liam, said into his walkie. "Roger."

"Come on move." said one of the soldiers as they grabbed onto their arms and pulled them into a tent.

"Excuse sir, do you know what it is." Juliet asked the lead solider. "The things out there."

"Nobody is telling me what it is." The solider turned around. "But whatever it is, it's winning."

The solider pushed the curtain aside to show that the Bloomingdales had been transformed into a makeshift hospital. All over the place were cots with wounded soldiers on them. Screams and yells filled the place as the teens continued to follow the man. The whole place just remind them of their countless friends that were missing and could possibly be dead.

A couple of men in hazard suits walked by the camera. A body laid on the gurney as they wheeled in passed them.

"What happened?" The solider asked as the man in the suit shook his head.

"We had another bite."

"Those fuckers just don't quit."

The body on the gurney had familiar blood red hair and it had beautiful blue-green eyes. Everyone gasped when they noticed who it was.

It was Bambi.

"Oh my god!" Juliet gasped as she gagged.

Bambi's body looked like if someone had ripped out her center. There were trails of blood coming from her eyes and her mouth.

"Do you guys know her?" the solider asked as he saw the teens reactions.

"Yeah, she was a close friend of ours." Todd explained as the solider took of his hat. Everyone just stared as they wheeled the body away. Bambi's hand hanging from the side.

"I'm sorry for your lost" The officer who's name plate said Morgan said.

"Where did you find her?"

"I have no clue." Morgan shook his head. "I'll take you to the other bodies to see if you can see any familiar faces."

"AHHHH!"

The camera turned around to see Blair crying hysterically. She was gripping onto the next gurney that the suit men were wheeling.

"Miss, we need to take this body to quarantine"

"That my boyfriend." Blair cried as the masked man moved away from the camera's view. "It's Riley!"

Laying on gurney was Riley. His stomach erupted just as Bambi's hand been. His face was calmly peaceful, his mouth and eyes with the same trails of blood.

"No, no, no." cried Blair as she gripped to the gurney. "He's my boyfriend!"

The whole center had an eerie quiet to it as they saw the queen bee crying. The camera spun to show Juliet sobbing into Todd's shoulder. Liam was standing behind Blair, his eyes sad. Jason and Chetan stood in quiet, not believing what had just happened.

"Miss, we need to take him away." The suit man said.

The gurney started moving again and Blair just stood sobbing. She turned around and hugged Liam unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry." he whispered to her as she cried. "I really am."

"Why did it have to be him."

"Look, I'm going to defend you even if it means me dying." Liam held her chin up. "Blair Waldorf, I promise you that. Riley would have wanted that."

Blair's brown eyes were covered in tears. She nodded and threw herself back into Liam's arms. He held her tightly.

"You guys are going to have to stay here." Morgan said as he walked over to the other soldiers.

"Mister, we can't stay here." Todd argued back. "Is there a helicopter we can get on or something?"

"Sir, we have two FA teams and four more thirty minutes out." A scrawny officer told Morgan.

"Listen up people." Everyone became quiet as the officer spoke. "Rack'em and pack'em."

All the soldiers started moving quickly, throwing on guns and vest. The camera shook as people bumped into it.

Todd walked up to Morgan. "Look our friend is seriously hurt. We need to get her to a doctor."

Two officers held onto Todd's arms. They were dragging him away from Morgan.

"Dude!" Jason said pushing one of the officers. "There's no need for that."

The camera spun over to Morgan, where he put his hand in front of the lens. "Put away that god damn camera."

The camera was pointed at Blair's shoes as talking and beeping could be heard.

"Look, I'm not putting my operation in jeopardy for you little kids"

The view lifted a bit to show a cage with one of the crab things that attacked them. It appeared to be dead and it was oozing the yellow substance that got onto the camera.

"You have no idea what's out there!" Morgan said. "You guys are going to stay here and wait it out."

"I don't give a shit what's out there." Todd raised his voice. "We just want to get out of this fucking film lot."

"Kyle…" The camera turned around to Chetan. Her eyes were letting out trails of blood and her blood was falling from her mouth. "I don't feel so good, man."

"Shit." Kyle's voice whispered.

"BITE!" screamed a doctor as she grabbed onto Chetan. "We've got a bite!"

"Chetan, are you okay!" screamed Juliet as the camera began to follow Chetan.

Two hazard suit guys grabbed Chetan by either arm and started dragging her away.

"Where are you taking her!" yelled Jason as he tried pushing one of the officers away. Chetan threw up a puddle of blood on the floor.

"Hold on a second." Kyle's voice yelled. "Let her go!"

"Jason, Kyle!" screamed Chetan as they continued to drag her. "HELP!"

"Chetan, oh my god!" screamed Juliet as they dragged the party animal into a separate tent. Her silhouette coming out from behind it.

The camera continued to shake as officer pulled the teens away from the tent. Chetan's silhouette continued to be dragged by the two men as her body began to contour. It began to swell up as huge as a balloon until it popped, blood splattered as over to tent's wall.

"Oh my god!" Kyle yelled as he was dragged into another room.


"Did I just die?"

Chetan opened her eyes slowly. All she saw was darkness. "Where the hell am I?"

A loud knock came from above and slowly light started seeping in. The pod she was laying in a had opened wide and in front of her was Chef's gritted teeth.

"C'mon Ms. Rebel, go join the other losers."

Chetan stood up out of the pod and looked over crowd in front of her. Annaleigh was crying, saying something about Kyle as Chanel hugged her. Charlotte was complaining about Kurt touching her hair. Bronze was holding bets to who would survive.

"What the hell is going on?" Chetan asked confused as she looked back. Five pods were still shut closed.

"You owe me ten bucks." Austie said as he handed ten dollars to Bronze. "Blimey, I thought you were going to survive."

"Nice doing business with you bloke." Bronze said in a bad Australian accent. He counted the number of bills in his hand. "Bets! Bets! Make your bets!"

Chris Mclean walked passed her as Kimberly was chasing after him.

"I was eliminated unfairly." Kimberly complained to the host. "Let me back in. It wasn't fair."

"Kimberly, from what we saw it was pretty fair bra." Chris Mclean said with a grin. "Way to use bad judgment dude."

"Ugh! Screw you!" Kimberly sneered as she began to walk away. "Just another thing to add to my list of 'Why Chris Mclean should be fired'"

"Mclean? What the hell is going on?" Chetan asked. "One second I exploded and the next, I'm back here."

Chris Mclean smirked. "It's called Virtual Reality and it was all a part of this challenge."

"This was a challenge?"

Chris shot her a "no duh" face and turned back to the camera. "And we'll come back to the conclusion of this epic challenge after a message from our sponsors bra."


1. "I have a family."

"They need me."

"Help Me! Help Me!"

2. Was that Paris Hilton? You better believe it was. You know if you're in a Hollywood setting and in a film lot, you've got to include Ms. Hilton.

3. Yes, the paintball gun Liam was using was Laila's. So what if he was using a glitter covered gun, he still kicked major crab monster butt.

I hope you guys don't hate me for killing off a couple of people in this chapter. It wasn't my fault… it was my inner Chris's fault. He/She is EVIL!
