Jade had started to run at Andy and Scarlett, tears where running down her eyes.
"Jade no! We aren't playing!" shouted Andy desperately. His weapon was a meat cleaver which would have been useless next to Jade's Kinta blade.
Jade raised the blade and continued to run at them.
"Oh shit!" gasped Andy.
"Stop it now!" shouted a voice from close by.
Scarlett looked around and saw the transfer student Dave Jordan standing close by holding a pistol (Annika's weapon) "That's far enough no killing!" he shouted. Jade turned around at him.
"No way I'm getting out of this game alive!" shouted Jade as she diverted her attention towards Dave.
"Last chance!" shouted Dave as she charged towards him. Dave fired three shots at Jade who was blown back buy the blasts she dell into the undergrowth dead.
Andy and Scarlett looked at Dave he turned his attention towards them.
"That's close enough you two!" warned Dave as he held the pistol at them.
"Please don't we're not playing!" cried Scarlett.
"Honestly we're not playing!" agreed Andy. "You're Dave Jordan aren't you? You joined our school in September right?" Andy stammered.
Dave nodded. "Yeah that's me"
"Is she dead?" asked Scarlett hardly daring to hope that Jade wasn't.
"Yeah she is but she was going to kill you. You do realise that don't you? She had lost it big time I did save you"
"I know but Jade was such a quiet girl at school. She wouldn't hurt a fly!" Andy argued.
"She had lost it she would of killed you both and it wouldn't of mattered to here got it? Come on we better get under some cover before we get discovered!"
Scarlett nodded. "Thank you Dave for helping us!"
"It's no problem sorry I don't know your names kind of quiet in school I don't associate with anyone."
"I'm Andy Wainnwright and this is Scarlett Wildman pleased to meet you, have you ever killed anyone before?" asked Andy "Sorry I didn't mean it like that"
"No offence taken" growled Dave as he headed into a row of trees. "It's the first one this time"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Andy.
"Nothing don't worry about it!" smiled Dave.
"Where are we heading?" asked Scarlett.
"Somewhere hopefully safe" SAID Dave quietly as he took out the tracer (Tim's weapon)
"Where did you get that?" asked Andy sounding a little worried.
Dave
sat down on the grass.
"Ok well I found it I know at least
four others are dead already they where all dead when I got there
they must of taken each other out"
"Who where?" asked Andy.
"I sit next to the girl in science glasses really clever."
"Eda? She's dead! No way!" sobbed Scarlett.
"Who else?" asked Andy. It was morbid but he needed to know. "I am the new kid here remember I think he surfs and the other two are in Set BI sat next to the girl in the exam before they took us."
"That would be Tim" said Andy sadly he liked Tim and he was trying to remember who was sitting where in the exam.
"Listen you may not like this but we'll hear their names on the announcement" Dave said strangely quietly.
"I never watch the fucking show my sister died in the first ever game." Andy said bitterly.
"I can understand your pain Andy believe me" replied Dave.
"You can't!" said Andy raising his voice. Dave motioned Andy to shut up.
"Quiet ok now listen I know what your sister went through and what you are going through Ok? Listen I just know ok I played the game last season end of season four. I played the game and won I killed my friends to win. Got it I know what you are thinking!"
"You played" gasped Scarlett.
"Yes but I will tell you later how and why but believe me I had no choice just let it rest and no I won't kill you two have heart and I like that and we will find a way out of this game ok?" Dave said forcefully.
"Can I ask you something?" asked Scarlett. Dave nodded "What is the deal with you and Miss Hall I saw you talk to her a lot."
Dave smiled and nodded. He took out his medallion and looked at it. "Survival is our bond."
In the control room Miss Hall had walked in she placed her headset on and looked down at her medallion.
"Survival is our bond indeed Mr Jordan she looked at the clock in the wall 05.59.46. "Start the music" she said softly Beethoven Symphony Number 3 in E flat began to play all over the island it was time for the first announcement.
