Life Is Just A Game
"Yawwwn!" The small girl said. "Courtney!" Her father yelled. "Whattttttt?" She groaned. "Get down here and help me with your damn sister!" "What's she doing...?" Courtney asked, sounding tired. "She won't go to bed!" "Im not sleepy!" She heard her little sister, Julie, yell. "Oi! Don't yell in my face!" Their father said angrily. "Then don't make m-" Her sister got cut of by their father grabbing her hand and pulling her to her sisters bedroom. "Lemme go!" She screamed. "Courntney, she's your problem now!" Ugh, she's your daughter, why can't you see that..."I don't wanna go to bed!" Her sister started to whine. "Hey, hey...it's ok...daddy's had a bad day and he's just mad...ok...?" Her big sister reassured her. "O-ok..." She said as her sister wiped the small tears from her little face. "Here, wanna lay with me...?" Not the best thing she could do, but whatever. "O-ok..." She said quietly as she climbed in the soft bed with her big sister. "Sweet dreams sis'..." Courtney said. "Nighty-night..." Julie said back.
"GAH!" Courtney woke up and yelled. "Oh..." She said as she realized it was just a dream. She lifted up her head, as it was the only part of her she could lift up, besides her legs. But that requiers a lot of effort considering your in a straight-jacket. "Eh..." One of the men that held her captive said. "Whasss..." He was drunk. "Uh excuse me, could I use th-" The drunken man, known as Markus, put a finger to her mouth and shushed her. "Shhhhh...there...zoombiess...train..." He said before he fell asleep. Courtney rolled her eyes. Markus had always been into zombies and vampires and other things like that...he was such a dork. "Well I'll just go back, I guess..." Courtney said quietly, to no one in particular.
"Hey kid, wakey wakey...!" The "leader" of the people who captured her said. "I'm eleven, im not a kid anymore." Courtney said as she woke up. They had had her for about four years now, and they still don't trust her, considering the many times she has tried to run away, even though she grew close to the men. You'd think one of them would hurt her but never did they touch her, unless they were drunk, but not in any perverted ways, just by falling on her or stepping on her feet. Besides grabbing her hand or sholders tightly. "Heyyyyy...good mornin' sunshine..." The leader, Justin, said. She liked when he called her sunshine, it made her feel special. "Guess who's birthday it is...?" He said. "Is it Tom's?" She asked. Tom was one of the men she was held captive by, he was her best friend. "Nope, it's yours!" He said, then smiled and handed her a small box. "I can't open it though...I'm in the jacket..." Courtney said sadly. "Here lemme help ya', just don't tell Katy." He said then laughed. Katy was such a bitch!Always bossing Courtney around, laughing at her when she fell and broke her nose because she was in the jacket and couldn't put her arms out. She could still picture Katy's face when she fell, all red and tears streaming down her face from laughing. And when she fell down and hit her head on one of the boxes, Courtney laughed and Katy went to slap her, but Tom saved her. Thank god for him. Justin unlocked the jacket and let Courtney stretch for a minute. Then he handed the small box to her. "To: Sunshine; From: Justin, she read out loud, then tore open the gift. She gasped. It was a small tablet! She hadn't held any electronics ever since she was taken away from the asylum! "No waaaaaay!" She yelled. "Hey shut up kid!" Katy yelled from across the room. See? Such a bitch..."Wait a second!" Katy said as she went over and grabbed the tablet from Courtney's hands. "Give it back!" Courtney yelled. "No way kid, it's mine now!" Katy teased. "Stuid brat, sho-" She stopped mid-sentence as the tablet was grabbed from her greedy hands and put back in Courtney's small hands. "What the fu-" Katy started then stopped. She saw her boss. "Oh hey b-boss I was just...uh...p-playing..." Katy said nervously, but Justin wasn't buying it. "Scram!" He yelled in her face and watched her run away. "Thanks, Justin." He was like a father to her. "No problem!" He said happily before walking away to go talk to Katy.
Two years later...
Click. Click. Click the sound the small tablet said as Courtney's fingers made contact with the fragile screen. She had become obsessed with the device. She played it as she charged it, for it was only at 12%. Once it got down to 20%, she plugged it in. She had grow away from the guys and closer to the tablet, which she nicknamed "her soul", because it was all she did all day and night. She was skinny because she barely ate or drank anything, and she was pale, because she barely went outside. She was a fragile thirteen year old, but when she had "her soul" she seemed powerful.
One year later...
"Give me my damn tablet back, Tom!" The now fourteen year old, screamed. "Not unless you hug me~." Tom said, rather playfully. "No! Give me my fucking soul back!" She screamed. Tom got his feeling hurt a bit, they used to be best friends but after she got that tablet, she's been isolated from him. "Here, sorry..." He said and handed the tablet back to her. "You better be!" She screamed. "Oh soul...are you okay~?" She asked her tablet. No one knew, but she was slowly growing insane. "Good..." She said back to her tablet as if the tablet responded by saying 'Yeah.'.
"Ugh, you little brat, I should take that tablet away from you..." Katy said as she shoved Courtney. "Try me..." Courtney growled. "Oh you wanna go, brat?" Katy teased. "Call me that again and see what happensm bitch?" Courtney said. "Ooh you sound pissed, little br-" Katy got shoved into the wall as Courtney started choking her. But the teen was no match compared to the 35 year old woman. Katy grabbed Courtneys hands with one of her hands and with the other, she pulled out the pocket knife in from her back pocket. She opened up the knife and held it to Courtney's neck. "Say you take it back, brat!" Katy yelled in her face. "You wanna know what I say?" Courtney asked. She was fully insane now. "I say; Life Is A Game, And You Lost!" She screamed In Katy's face. "Katy stumbled and accidentally stabbed the pocket knife in the blondes temple, killing her instantly. "Oh my god..." Tom said from behind as he had watched the whole thing, unable to say anything. "I...I d-didnt mean to!" Katy yelled as she stepped back from Courtney's lifeless corpse.
"She's right, boss, she didn't mean to..." Tom said as he defended Katy. Justin sighed as a tear fell down his face. "Get out of my room, leave me to think..." Justin said quietly. The two walked out of Justin's room. "T-thanks Tom..." Katy said as she walked up to Courtney's body. She grabbed the small tablet that belonged to Courtney, Tom had set on the table. She clicked the power button on the tablet. "Pfft, stupid Tom, I meant to kill that bitch, she was ruining my damn life..." Katy muttered to herself as she started to delete all of Courtney's games. She had deleteted every one of them except a game titled MY SOUL". "What the fuck kind of name of a game is that?" She questioned to no one. She tried deleting it, but I wouldn't go away. Probably just somethin' put permentally in the tablet. All of a sudden the backround of the tablet changed from a picture of Courtney and Tom to a face from hell, it was Courtney's face, but different. She had her eyes changed from blue to fully black with a very small blue pupil. She also had her blue beanie on, but it was covered in blood, along with her black T-shirt and light blue jeans. "What the actual shit...?" Katy said. She turned off the tablet only to be drawn back to it, like she was in a transe, or hipnotized, she turned it back on and she saw that the password background was different too, it was Katy's face, covered in her own blood, screaming. She was drawn back to the game called "MY SOUL". She clicked on it and saw Courtney the same as the home screen backround but she was repeating over and over and over, "Kill Yourself." Katy screamed. She couldn't get away from the tablet and her mind kept repeating 'Kill Yourself.' She was going to commit suicide to get away from it. "AHHHHHHHH!" A piecing scream was heard before silence. Tom ran in the room only to find the dead body of Katy with a screw driver in her temple.
One week later...
Tom sighed. His best friend and Katy were dead. The twenty-two year old went over to the tablet Courtney used to own. He picked it up and turned it on...
'LIFE IS JUST A GAME' was the last thing he heard before jumping off the five story building...
Six months later...
"Mommy! Look at tablet! The small girl said and squealed with delight. "Fine, I'll go it it honey..." Her mother said as she went in the road and picked up the tablet. "Wow it's not even cracked!" She said, surprised. She brushed off the dust and turned it on...
