The day came and when like it was nothing as players were woken up by the sound of a soft bugle horn as Samantha woke up beside Isabella in another bed. Guards soon came out with a cart with a bunch of tiny boxes

"For your breakfast, our cooks have cooked you all a simple burrito with beans, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. Enjoy" the main square guard says as two circle guards began handing out food for the players. Both Sam and Isa got in line getting their food and sitting beside some stairs

"At least they can make some decent burritos. Nothing beats mom's cooking though" Isabella said with a little giggle opening up her burrito and taking a bite. Samantha soon replied "yeah.. remember that time when Mom ran out of beans and had to use the crappy refried beans from the store. She wouldn't stop swearing under her breath the whole time" as the two sisters shared a laugh as Isabella remembered what happened yesterday at voting as she softly spoke "hey...why did you vote O? I thought we were gonna leave?" To which Samantha froze up a little bit sighed putting her burrito in her lap explaining "look...if we leave, we end up getting none of that money. If we keep going and we both survive. We could be set for life...think about it" and right before Samantha could continue with her reasoning, both Micheal and Emilio walked up to them as Micheal asked "excuse me ladies, may we sit with you?" As Isabella gave the two men a little look of suspicion but that went away when Samantha nodded as all 4 of them sat together 

"You know, this beats hospital food by a long mile. I got so tired of eating jello anyways" Micheal spoke as he chuckled before coughing

"Beats MRE's too.." Emilio replied with a little chuckle. Micheal almost looked surprised that Emilio actually talked for once as he chuckled looking over to the sisters asking "so, what are you two doing here?"

"Oh well...we had debt. Nothing more, nothing less" Samantha explained as she took another bite of her burrito not bothering to tell Micheal anything more about her or her sister. Micheal chuckled saying "that so.. I'm just here because I need the money for myself in a way" looking over to Emilio gently nudging his shoulder as Emilio replied "I'm trying the money for my family. I was thinking about some kind of inheritance for my kids when they grow up"

"Aww you have kids? That is so sweet" Isabella said with a little smile as Emilio just chuckled saying to her "after everything I did for this country. It's the least I can do"

As the 4 ate their meal, the speakers soon came out with a more childlike voice as it spoke "the next game will commence in a few minutes, please finish your food and follow the guards"

"So what do you think the next game is?" Samantha asked her little group. Isabella simply shrugged but Micheal replied "my guess is that it's gonna be something we all know right? The last game was red light green light so...maybe it's based on childhood games?"

"That is a good theory, but me and my sis grew up in Guadalajara. We both had a different childhood compared to both you and Emilio" Samantha said back as Micheal put up his hands and replied back to her "either way, it's gotta be something we know. So I guess...super Mario Bros?"

Isabella softly laughed at Michael's suggestion but immediately shut up when Sam gently bumped her shoulder as players began to make their way towards the game and the group did the very same. The halls were just as confusing as the first time. Bright neon lights, colorful walls, no clocks to tell time. It was almost like a casino floor but with no slot machines

The players were led into an all white waiting room of some sort waiting room with benches and chairs all around as the voice came on the speakers and explained "players must be gathered into groups of 4 for the next game. There are 212 players which means there will be 53 equal groups"

Samantha looked around seeing Isabella, Micheal, and Emilio already all together as she spoke "alright...we have our group then. So if it's in teams...it could be something more physical" as she looked around seeing players team up based on physical strength 

Isabella looked over seeing Amado teaming up with a few other players as she smiled gently waving to the man as he waved back to her

Once all the players were put into groups, Samantha's group and another were led into a different room much bigger than the one they were in before

The room has 2 pedestals one either side over a large hole, the walls were dressed to look like a school classroom and in the front was a chalkboard with a stick figure being hanged 

"The game you will be playing today is.. hangman. You must correctly guess the word chosen by the guards in 10 tries or you will be eliminated. You have 20 mins" 

Samantha knew this wasn't a game about physical strength anymore...but mental strength and she and the rest of her team were led onto one of the platforms as the guard overlooking them wrote down a few letters on the main chalkboard 

S__A_E

Isabella gently said "it's wheel of fortune.." getting the attention of Samantha who immediately asked "what are you talking about sis?"

"It's just like wheel of fortune! You guess the word based on the letters given to you. Abeula used to watch it all the time" but before she could say anything else Micheal yelled out "space! As the guard nodded 'no' and crossed out an X under the word

"Micheal what the hell! We need these tries. We can't rush through them or we die" Samantha said almost a little angry that one of their tries were wasted. Looking over to the other team, they were already guessing any word that came up wasting any chance they had to win. Soon enough the other group was swiftly dropped, faint screams soon turned to shattering bones as the announcer came back on

"Players 074, 208, 455, 322. Eliminated"

"Ok ok...we need to think this through. So it starts with S and ends with E maybe it's skate? Isa try that" Samantha said trying to stay calm as Isabella asked for skate but all that got was an X from the guards also. Isabella thought for a second as she then said "what about square...?" Samantha looked over to Micheal and Emilio who went along with it. Samantha nodded taking her sister's hand as they all yelled in Union

"SQUARE!" To which the guard overlooking them put the last few words and it was square and they passed! The 4 left the room successful as the next 2 groups went in to take their place 

Isabella looked back at her sister as she wandered off with her group to go see how Amado was doing with his group as she softly spoke "301?" Just to get his attention as she continued "Es el ahorcado, el siguiente juego" as Amado sighed finally facing her as he spoke back to her "gracias por la advertencia" 

Isabella softly giggled talking with Amado as she looked over to her sister with their group before turning back to him and asking "¿Te gustaría unirte a mi equipo?" As Amado just shrugged as the announcer came on once again

"Players 218, 377, 080, 236, 009, 289, 300, 217. Eliminated" as Amado's group went into the room as the two exchanged a wave goodbye before Isabella went back to Samantha, Michael, and Emilio

"Sorry I was gone, I was talking with 301. I even asked him to join us" Isabella said with a little smile hopeful they would let Amado join them but Samantha immediately spoke "played 301? I don't know about him..how come?" As she was immediately skeptical of her sister inviting in a stranger to their group

"I mean..he did save my life and he is kinda sweet. I just figured he would make a nice addition. Sure, he can't speak English but you and I know Spanish just fine so we can translate" Isabella spoke trying to explain her reasoning with a gentle smile just to convince her sister who spoke back "a player with a language barrier...I don't know Isa. It might be hard to communicate even if we both speak Spanish"

"C'mon sis...please he's really nice. And we can use some extra muscle anyways. I don't think either one of us or that 112 guy can be any help if the next one is physical" Isabella continued trying her best to convince Samantha to let Amado come into the group as Sam replied "I'm sorry Isa but we can't risk it. We need people we can trust if we wanna make it far together" which finally got Isabella to stop trying to convince her as she sat down on one of the benches in the waiting room with Samantha soon joining her

A few hours passed just to get through all the teams for the game as Samantha and her group were led back to the main room as she looked up to the board. 64 players ended up being eliminated which brought up the money to 27.6 million dollars

"Hm...the more people who die, the more money is added.." Samantha said to herself as some cogs in her brain already began turning
