She woke up with a lighter head, and a bit more energy, and was quite surprised that the concussion seemed to have faded away. Maria knew that a concussion didn't heal that quickly, but maybe she had miss-diagnosed herself. Maybe it really wasn't that bad?
As she began to think it over, a sudden explosion seemed to sound in the distance. Turning her head, she was all but horrified to see the night sky lit up by fireworks. Looking around, her and others stilled in fear of undying appearing and being drawn to the noise. The five minutes seemed to go on forever, and everyone let out a breath when the fireworks stopped and silence filled the air.
Curiosity seemed to quickly cover the fear as everyone began to head toward the fireworks, and no undying really around. As they neared the location of the noise, they were shocked again to see a casino. As she moved into the light, the doors began to open, and Maria finally took the time to step fully inside.

Maria was overwhelmed by the lights, the smells and the atmosphere of the casino. As soon as she entered, she moved with the crowd and became excited at the sights. Her fingers itched to pull the slot machine and see if she'd hit a jackpot, even if it was near impossible odds.
As she drew closer to a machine, the attendant came by and handed her a drink, which she promptly took a sip of with a bright grin.
"Welcome to Delta Casinos! To begin, we will play with a currency called Casino coins. You can use them later for fantastic prizes!"
Maria picked up the coins and nodded each time someone directed her around, and she continued to eye the slots. With a determined grin, she headed over to see where her odds would take her.

Her first roll spun with bright colors and sounds, and Maria let out a bit of a laugh when the machine spit out two coins after she got a pair. This wasn't too bad, in fact it seemed quite simple. So she might as well keep rolling with her luck!

A second pull, a second spin, and a second set of coins spit out from the machine. Maria began to bounce with excitement, feeling her luck rise as she decided to try on more time.

Laughing as the third spin resulted in more coins, Maria decided she had enough and began to stand. All at once, the atmosphere hit her again, and she felt her palms grow damp. What was happening? She looked around and felt herself grow fuzzy, and her vision began to blur a bit. After a long moment, she stumbled away from the machines and fell into darkness.

Maria woke up to find her body stiffly tied to a chair, and she glanced wildly around to see where she was. Everything was sore, but she didn't feel anything too concerning in terms of damage. Finally done with her self examination, she looked around and tried to peer through the darkness. Other people were around, but she couldn't tell if they were in the same situation as her, or worse.
Just as she began to adjust to the darkness, a blinding light lit the room and she snapped her eyes shut in pain. A voice broke through the silence, and it took a long moment for Maria to realize what was going on. Her eyes adjusted, and she realized she as in a classroom of sorts.
She couldn't understand, so she simply refused to, and focused on the speakers.
"Attention all Casino players! Welcome to our tenth annual casino games! A big round of applause to our new players!"
Applause began to play, and Maria tried to move to get out of her bindings. It didn't happen, and her shoulders slumped as she listened to the words being said, but couldn't understand what they really meant. Lucky number? Drawing? Life? Freedom? What was going on?
As soon as they spoke of auctioning and dinner, she felt herself still completely. When he asked for questions, she all but scrambled to ask one and get some answers, foolishly not thinking before she opened her mouth.
Yet, before she could even say something, the announcer interrupted and talked about another price. Falling back with a dejected look on her face, Maria didn't see the attendant until the last second and let out a scream as she was dragged away, chair and all, into another room. She could only stare at the two other people tied to a chair, and her face grew white as the man told her to choose.
She closed her eyes as tears came to her eye. How could she just choose? Her body began to shake and she didn't want to make this choice, she couldn't make this choice. Opening her eyes and they land on the man.
"Him." She said simply, refusing to look at the woman as she was dragged out screaming. She tried to not focus on the room, and it was easy when the man began to run, "No!"
She yelled out just as guns went off, her ears ringing in the small room as the teen falls to the ground and dies. Maria was stunned, and had no words as the announcer simply let her know it was time to continue.
Maria just sat, stunned.

As Maria was led back out into the open, she realized with a dropping stomach that everyone here were part of the game. With the guards at the doors, they were all trapped in a sick twisting test to see who would survive and who would perish. Chills ran down her spine and she felt like she was going to be sick. There were allies here, people who she fought side by side who now were part of a death trap.
The sight of the boy getting shot, the girl screaming as she was pulled away, haunted her each time her eyes closed.
It was another day, and another fight for her life.
