Derek Wants To Win

When the people at the table registered what Angela said they all stood up quickly trying to run toward the force field. Even though their bodies had been dying previously and they hadn't been able to move their legs for a while they still forced themselves to run for this opportunity.

Access to the cabin was a hot commodity and many were willing to do anything for it so of course a little soreness wouldn't bother anyone. In addition to this, they all had been eating replenishing their strength and energy so they had a little in the tank.

Most of the people that stood up to run toward the force field had tripped after trying to get up too fast and pushing over their chairs. As for the rest, they were running as hard as their bodies would let them but there were two people in the front that had quite the lead due to them already knowing about the plan of course.

Kylie and Derek were in the front, leading the pack, but Derek was quickly falling behind. It was obvious that Kylie was going to get first but from Jonathan's point of view Derek looked like he might get caught by the other people that were quite fast when they heard the announcement.

When Jonathan saw who was chasing after Derek and Kylie he grinned slightly, 'Tom and Sam.' Jonathan thought as he looked at the two leading the pack of the group that started later. However, one thing that Jonathan noticed was that the person Sam pissed off the day before suddenly got ahead of Sam raising his lead quickly.

The man who Jonathan forgot the name of and didn't even remember if he heard it in the first place was now side by side with Tom but when Tom looked over at the guy suddenly he was tripped! The guy had stuck out his foot in front of Tom and tripped him making him fall to the ground.

Sam had been right behind Tom the entire time so when Tom fell he fell straight onto Sam who also fell. It was like a domino effect as people began falling to the side after being crashed into by the person in front of them. Jonathan was about to rush in there and reprimand what was happening but he stopped himself as he continued to watch.

Something Jonathan realized as the people began falling was that there were 4 others besides the guy who tripped Tom who all formed a straight line one behind another. It was like they had planned the entire thing which made Jonathan look closer at them. When he did look at each of them he caught the smiles of them all while the one in the back even laughed at the sudden crash.

'They had planned for something like this!' Jonathan shouted in his mind as he watched the group run. The group was running so fast that they even began catching up with Derek! Kylie had already reached the force field but Derek was struggling after running so hard earlier. It was clear he was not in his best shape or in his top condition.

Jonathan hadn't run at all and stayed at the table with Angela since he knew he didn't want to have access to the cabin this time but if he knew something like this was going to happen then he would have participated to fill up the spots.

Since Jonathan couldn't reverse his decision he had to watch in horror as the group of 5 passed Derek with ease leaving him in the dust or at least they would have if Derek didn't decide to push himself harder. Derek had seen them pushing people and decided he would give them a taste of their own medicine.

The front three people had already passed Derek which meant the last 2 were all up to him and he most definitely delivered. Derek looked up at the 4th person in line while cocking back his fist. The 4th didn't even have time to register or understand what happened before Derek delivered his fist to their face, punching them straight in the jaw.

Similar to earlier the sound that the punch made was a loud crack but it sounded even more vicious than before. Jonathan knew that at the very least the person would be knocked out for a while. When the 5th person saw this they immediately stopped and got ready to fight Derek but Derek was already throwing a punch by that point.

The 5th person ended up having enough time to block the front of their face but that wasn't Derek's aim. Derek threw an uppercut from below punching them straight in the jaw with another loud crack throwing them onto the ground with slight blood coming out of their mouth.

Once both of the guys were down Derek turned to keep running but when he turned forward he immediately had an enraged face since Tom had passed him! Tom had gotten up and while Derek was distracted by the group Tom had took that opportunity to pass Derek which made him irritated, "NOT SO FAST!" Derek shouted in a rage.

"I've never heard him so angry before." Jonathan said out loud with surprise as he and Angela watched the situation unfold.

When Angela heard this she just turned her head slightly looking like she wasn't surprised in the slightest by what was happening, "Well he had no reason to get angry until this point. You said at the beginning of the game he even yelled at The Watcher when he was angry before getting electrocuted. It seems his anger strengthens him for some reason or just makes him dumber." Angela said before turning back and watching as Derek began chasing after Tom surprisingly catching up to him with each passing second.

Jonathan had his jaw slightly dropped since he thought their plan had been completely messed up when Tom passed Derek but now Derek was catching up with Tom at a fast rate. There even looked to be enough time for him to catch up if he kept his momentum.
