Sweat slowly begins to fall from Liam's head whilst his fingers type away. He's nearly got it. He's hacked into the American government files and now all he needs to do is enter the password for the BR act control system and he can disable the collars.

This is it. Just one code. Just type in 2DELT4AOM68 and he can get out of here. That's all he needs to do.

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

Liam looks around confused. What is that beeping noise.

BEEP

BEEP

He looks down and sees his collar flashing red. Crap.

"You really think you can defeat us" Mr Jackson laughs "We knew all along what you were planning. Kind of ironic that in your attempt to disable your collar it end up exbloding

BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP

The beeping begins to get quicker and quicker. Liam attempts to take the collar off but he knows it's useless. Nothing works.

"We told you what would happen if you even tried to defy us, maybe this will be an example to your friends on what happens when you don't obey the rules. That's what got you here isn't it? Not obeying the rules, the youth of America, burning down the country. Stealing, murdering, prostitution at the age of 14. All of these and more is what caused you to be here. Breaking the rules"

BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"And yet you still don't obey the rules do you, all you do is break them and break them and break them until adults head blow off" Mr Jackson hisses filled with fury "Well, since you love making adults heads blow off I think it's time we make something blow instead"

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

Liam runs out of the room clutching his collar.

"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME" Liam screams his voice filled with desperation "FOR FUCK SAKE HELP ME"

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

BOOM

Large sparks from the collar flies off Liam's neck and blood bursts out. His head is flung backwards as the blood shoots out of his throat. His body drops to the floor and still blood smoothly flows from his neck.

And then the music begins to play

"A bit late to say good morning isn't it. I would announce Liam's death but unfortunately I can only announce deaths from the previous day but spoiler alert: Liam doesn't do to well" Mr Jackson replies back to his usual cheerful voice "Anyway, the deaths from yesterday are, student number 25: Zack, student number 41: Mike, student number 15: Ted. The body count not as high as the day before but I admit it's not too bad. Maybe today will be better, just remember that if no one dies….well you know what happened to Liam. Happy killing!"


The entire Island has woken up. Some people like Taylor are washing their hair in the shower of a mansion they found. Some people like Kirsty are doing their makeup. Some people like a now insane Grace are hugging there to kill a mockingbird book. Some people are like Katie and are taking after their best friend.

"It's ok Ella" Katie assures her "I know that everyone won't be playing the game"

Ella smiles slightly "But some people are. Three people died yesterday, 7 the day before. What if we can't convince those people, maybe they're beyond convincing"

Katie smiles back "If we can't convince them not to kill, then they're not worth convincing"

Ella laughs and looks at the gun she stole from Kieran in hate, she feels slightly better knowing that Katie killed someone as well.


Night slowly begins to fall on the island. A quiet day, Liam had died of collar detonation so most people hadn't bothered to even consider killing today. Except one girl, one girl decided to play the game ages ago but she hadn't gotten round to it.

The girl who was stalking Natasha, Jessica, enters a large warehouse. The warehouse is homely however, including a small bed and couch. The bottom floor has the couch, bed and a large working desk. The top floor is filled with large sacks of grain and outside the warehouse is a well. Jessica holds her weapon, a buck 120 hunting knife, in her hand twisted the handle around like a drumstick. Jessica moves a long strand of black hair out of her eyes. The door handle to the warehouse slowly begins turning and Jessica hides in the dark shadows. Two girls, Jenna and Eve, enter the warehouse sighing. Jenna and Eve are best friends, they're pretty popular but not whores. Jenna got a paper fan as a weapon and Eve a pointy stick.

"I can't believe they actually detonated Liam's collar" Eve sighs

"I wonder what he was doing" Jenna thinks "It must have been pretty bad if they had to kill him for it"

"Rule breaking, I guess" Eve suggests "I can vaguely remember any of the rules though"

Jenna nods her head and takes her and Eve's bag "I'm just going to check if the food or water has a eat/drink before date"

"Can water even have a drink before date" Eve asks

Jenna turns her back to Eve and puts both hers and Eve's bag on the working desk with her back to Eve. Jenna then begins to sort out through the bags. Jessica takes her chance; she covers Eve's mouth and stabs her in the back. Eve's eyes bulge and she tries to scream but due to practically all of Jessica's arm covering her mouth it's impossible for her to be heard. Jessica stabs her again and again. Three times in her lower abdomen, four times in her upper stomach and once in her heart.

"And what was all that Mr Jackson was saying about America's youth. We never learnt anything about youth riots in history" Jenna says whilst her friend is murdered behind her

Another stab in her lower abdomen, another in her upper stomach and another in her heart.

"And all that stealing, murdering and prostitution business he was talking about" Jenna continues to speak "No one in our grade is a prostitute but I do know some 11th grade girls and I think two 8th grade girls who apparently were prostitutes"

Another two in her lower abdomen, another in her stomach and another in her heart. Jessica gently puts the body of Eve on the floor, she's still alive but can barely move and the only noise she can make is a small moan that's barely audible.

"Doesn't make sense to me" Jenna sighs "What do you think"

"Couldn't agree more" Jessica says in her emotionless voice, Jenna turns around confused and Jessica stabs her in the stomach. Jenna gasps loudly as Jessica rips out the knife and stabs her again, and again, and again.

She then grabs Jenna's hair and pulls Eve's body outside the warehouse and too the well. She puts the lower halves of both of their bodies into the water but keeps hold of the upper part. She gives an emotionless stare at them both before dropping them both into the water.

She puts her knife into her bag and turns around. She can see someone else, someone with her back to her. She smiles slightly before walking towards the silhouette of the person. Then the silhouette turns around and sees her.

"Jessica" Natasha asks and Jessica stops in her tracks

"Natasha" Jessica fake smiles "Thank god it's you. Have you seen Kelly or Becky?"

"No" Natasha says almost cautiously "I thought they were with you"

"Oh" Jessica gulps slightly and looks at Natasha's survival kit "What weapon did you get"

Natasha is about to say a gun but stops herself remembering how much she trusts Jessica and how much she believed Jessica would play the game "I did get a small pitchfork but erm….Gabriella stole it before she died"

"Oh, that's unfortunate. I had a small knife but I, I seem to have lost it somehow, my own fault really" Jessica lies "I found an empty warehouse, you want to stay with me"

"Sure" Natasha nods her head not so eagerly

Jessica smiles and Natasha and her both walk to the warehouse and as they walk Natasha gently taps the gun in her pocket. Bubbles rise from the water in the well and it catches Natasha's attention.

"What was that?" she asks to which Jessica replies

"I have no idea"
