So the whole "This story will be finished by January" thing obviously isn't going to happen. I'll still up date as soon as I can. I have about 3-ish chapter left and an epilog. This and the next chapter is mainly just filler nothing to important happens. After the next chapter is the climax chapter (some one goes over a cliff O.O), then the closing chapter and finally the epilog. So now you have a slight idea about what left so I hope you enjoy.

They were given an hour head start when the game began. They had not seen Zaroff at all that morning which struck them as odd. After all this was his game, his sick, twisted game. Seto had his useal game face on, showing no emotion what so ever. Mokuba, however, was shaking like a leaf on a tree on the inside but only showed it a little on the outside. After hearing a freighting conversation the privies night he could barely get up this morning.

They trudged on word threw the thick forest that covered more than half the island. Mokuba was having more trouble than Seto maneuvering threw the tall plants that covered the ground like carpet. He had been tripping and getting caught on varius plants since they started. But Seto was always there to help him up and brush him off.

They soon approached the far west side of the island, which was a large swamp. According to the map, the swamp had a name; The Death Swamp. It was death both in name and history, remains of the fallen hunted could be seen in the murky waters.

Mokuba was looking around the whole time which might have been why he didn't see the raised tree root that was right in fount of him; it caught his foot and made him fall in to the filthy waters of the swamp.

Seto turned around and walked back to help his fallen brother for the thirtieth time so far .He grabbed Mokuba's arms and pulled him up to his feet, but as soon as he let go Mokuba fell back on the ground.

"Are you ok?" asked Seto as he once again helps his brother up.

"No…my ankle hurts really bad." Said Mokuba, grimacing as he was placed on his ankle again. Seto Noticed and then sat his brother down on a low tree branch to examine his ankle. It was undoubtedly twisted, because of how swollen it was and how Mokuba yelp in pain when ever Seto touched it.

So, Knowing Mokuba wouldn't be able to walk, Seto hoisted his little brother onto his back and proceeded walking. According to the watch it was around one in the afternoon, which meant they only had to last about eleven more hours. They were beginning to think that they wouldn't see Zaroff there hunter. And, they didn't see him but that doesn't mean Zaroff wasn't close by.

Seto, with Mokuba still latched to his back, walked for about forty-five more minutes before stopping to rest on some rocks. Mokuba got off his brother's back and sat down next to Seto. Mokuba looked around at his sourindings and realized that this place wasn't so bad. Tall green trees stretched miles over head , the sun was shining brightly agents a soft blue back droop and tropical birds and plants could be seen everywhere.

"If there wasn't a deranged loon after us this place would be pretty nice." Said Mokuba to his brother, as a response Seto just nodded. He was too busy thinking to properly response. He was think about how he was going to protect his brother, if one of them got shot, and what if Zaroff went back on his word and decided to shoot Mokuba? He tried to keep that thought out of head, for one he need to stay focused and two he couldn't even. Bear to think about losing his little brother.

Suddenly, Seto heard something moving in the brush in fount of where he and Mokuba were then got a look of fear on his face. Mokuba noticed this but didn't understand why. Before he could ask his was pulled to the ground as a loud 'boom' noise echoed through the island. When he looked up he saw his brother also lying on the ground. For a split second he thought he had been shot, but, thankfully, he was wrong.

Next thing he knew he was jerked up in to his big brother's arms, and once agene heard a loud 'boom' noise. Seto held his brother as tight as possible as he ran through the forest. He knew Zaroff had spotted them and was now chasseing them. He was trying to think of a way to lose him but it was kind of hard to think with Mokuba choking him, from holding on to tight to his neck, while running.

Seto soon spotted a narrow cave that went into the ground that would be deep enough to hide him and his brother. He quickly jumped in and slide all the way to the bottom, only then did he realize they might not be able to get out. Mokuba was taken completely off guard by his brother's actions, but he didn't question them. Seto leaned agents the wall of the cave pulling Mokuba into his chest to prevent the light shining in from touching Mokuba. The darkness of the cave would be there shield from the scope of Zaroff's gun.

Seto and Mokuba sat there motionless for what seemed like hours but really only minutes. The soon heard the sound of heavy hunting boots at the threshold of their hiding spot. Seto griped Mokuba tighter into his chest. Threw the open entrance of the cave they could see their hunter was right outside.

"Very clever you have eluded my scope in that cave of yours," said Zaroff," But rest assured I'll be back, after all staying in that cave is more dangerous than you think." Zaroff then fired a shot Ito the darkness of the cave. It missed the Kiba brothers, but just barely.
