Um yah I said I would update faster with the more reviews I got, but I got sick, and I've been pretty busy with school, not to mention the first round of grades came out so it was pretty hectic. I actually don't want to update right now, but I've been on the schedule of about every two weeks so it's about time I updated.

My grades if you're interested:

Algebra 2- Honors: A

P.E.: A

French 2: B

English 2- Honors: A-

Integrated Science 2- Honors: B

World History and Culture – Honors: A-

I can't believe it, but I'm so happy Jordan won Big Brother, and Survivor Samoa has started and I say go Galu! (Purple Tribe)

With that said I'd like to dedicate this chapter to SlasherFanatic26, Slasher has been a loyal reader, and I thought they deserved a dedication. Plus maybe they'll start reviewing again, lol.

Oh and one more thing, I'd like to talk about that show Glee. Personally I like it, it's a nice break to the usual programs, but one thing I can't get over is how stereotypical the characters are. I mean not all if any high schools are like that, at least not mine, I fucking love my high school its great, and it's only my Sophomore year.

A certain someone and a certain person were running towards a shed that would help them complete their current objective, exterminate all persons on Harper's Island, all except one that is.

"Do you remember what to do?" asked the someone as they opened the shed door.

"Yah, head to the inn, take down whoever is there, and then do some cleanup in the forest," said the person.

"And what do you mean by cleanup?" asked the someone.

"Kill or dispose, whichever seems to be more pressing," said the person.

"Good," said the someone while smiling, "In the mean time I'm going to head for two major targets. They seem to be off in their own little world, but if they discovered what was going on they would be threats to our cause, as well as our own health."

"Understood, but if I may ask, would you like to take them down personally, or if I see them should I get them?" asked the person.

"I might find some detours on the way, so if you see them still alive, I would very much like you to change that," said the someone, "The sooner we finish and collect our prize the more time we have to cover our tracks and plant a seed that will throw anyone off our trail."

"Well sounds like a good plan," said the person pocketing a glock, "I'll see you soon."

"Yes….see you soon," said the someone as they watched the person run off while putting a knife into their back pocket. "Now, time to have some fun," they said picking up a new bow with fresh arrows, as well as some rope that was tied to a cinderblock. "Christ this is heavy….but necessary I guess. It will give them a poetic ending."

With that the someone trudged off with their supplies.

Madison panted and began to feel a little light headed as she ran behind Josh. It was taking all of her will power just to keep her two feet moving, that and the fact that she needed to warn everyone as quickly as possible.

Madison continued to trudge along but her pace continued to diminish with every step she took. "Babe…babe…I need to stop," Madison said stopping.

Josh stopped and whirled around to look at his fiancé, "We can't stop now, we have to warn whoever is alive, their lives could depend on it."

"I know that," Madison said panting between words, "But what if we were attacked, we would have no energy to defend ourselves. We have to think of the best way to keep everyone else safe as well as ourselves."

"Well shit……" Josh began, starting to think things over in his head, "Do you want me to carry you?"

Madison let out a sigh, "Did you not hear what I said? We both have to conserve our energy. Let me rest for five minutes and then we'll keep going."

"Madison…someone could be dead in the next five minutes," Josh said.

"Then if at the very least lets make sure it's not one of us," said Madison.

Josh looked at Madison in the eyes and knew she was right, he knew if he had to protect only one person here on the island, it would be his love. Absolutely no one would take her from him.

Back at the inn, the person had arrived and was now creeping their way through the deserted halls, keening their ears to pick up the slightest sound.

After detecting no human activity on the first floor, the person quietly crept up a staircase to the second floor. The person would find what they were looking for here. Two doors away from the stairs, the person heard something, they just now had to decipher what.

They crept closer and closer to the door, until they were pressing their ear towards the door. At that moment they pulled the glock from their pocket readying for the attack. Deciding to lure someone towards the door, the person gave a knock and stepped away from the peephole to wait for their victim.

A few minutes earlier inside the room, Jack and Tyler were lying on Jack's bed. Words had been seldom used for a while now, as Richie and now Neil were asleep.

"Tyler?" Jack began, "Will you go to Heather's funeral?"

Tyler lifted his head from his pillow and squinted his eyes not only because he was tired, but in disappointment, "Jack, you still have to hope that she's alive!"

"I could...and I should….but that wouldn't change anything. Most of the time hope is just something to blind someone into prolonging accepting what's really going to…or has happened."

Tyler look down at Jack and pulled him closer, "Well if Heather is...gone, and I'm not saying she is!" Tyler stated, "I will help you put your sister to rest."

"Thank you." Jack said.

Jack was about to say something else when a knock at the door cut him off. The knock also proceeded to wake Richie and Neil from their slumbers. "What's happenin'?" asked Richie rubbing his eyes.

"Someone is at the door," Tyler said rising concerned.

"Maybe it's one of my parents," said Neil excitedly, as he began to slowly walk towards the door as another knock sounded.

Jack rose from the bed as well to inspect who was at the door, and soon Richie and Tyler were also standing back to see who had found them.

Neil slowly walked towards the door and noticed that the door was unlocked. He stopped right in front and put his hand on the knob, "Strange, I thought we locked it," said Neil turning around.

Just then the door flew open and a gun shot was heard. Neil was gone in a split second as the bullet pierced his skull and embedded itself. Richie began to scream and shock and horror was etched onto Jack and Tyler's faces.

Jack soon reacted on pure instinct, Neil was dead, Neil was dead and his killer was about to step into the room. Jack rushed forward and shoved Neil's body back, after it began to fall forward with the momentum it was given from the bullet. Jack saw his body fall upon the person and send him toppling backward from the added weight.

Jack quickly slammed the door and locked it, however missing a look at the shooters face. "WINDOW!" Jack shouted over Richie's screaming which was quickly turning into crying. Several more bullets were fired, putting several holes through the door. Jack cried out and covered his head.

Regaining his composure, Jack ran for the now open window where Tyler looked panicked as he held Richie. "You first, then I'll drop Richie down to you." Tyler screamed.

Jack nodded his head as he climbed out his window and started climbing down the vine covered wall of the Candlewick. Jack quickly reached the bottom and looked up towards the other two, "NOW!"

Richie screamed as he was dropped from the second floor, and he didn't let up even once Jack caught him. "HURRY TYLER!" Jack screamed.

Tyler had his first leg out the window when he heard the door swing open and smack into the wall. Tyler didn't look back as he started to climb down the wall. He was almost halfway there when a sharp ended metal spear like object started to be jabbed at him. Tyler recognized it as one of the curtain holders from Jack's room.

Upon realizing this though, Tyler was nicked on his left hand, drawing blood. Tyler drew his hand back in pain , and with a now weak, one handed grip, he fell the rest of the way down.

Hitting the ground with a thud, Tyler lost his breath. He heard the faint sound of someone calling his name, and shook himself out of his daze when Jack's face appeared above him. "TYLER! TYLER! COME ON WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Jack screamed.

Tyler soon was on his feet and plucked the still crying Richie from the ground. He was about to run, but offered a glance at where the killer had been just a minute ago. However the window was no longer occupied by any visible figure.

"RICHIE!!!" someone screamed as they appeared in the distance.

"Shea!" Jack said whirling around.

"MOMMY!" Richie cried breaking down into sobs.

"Oh sweetie I'm here!" Shea cried taking Richie from Tyler, "What's going on? I heard some gun shots and I came running."

"It's…happening again," said Tyler.

"No….." Shea said, eyes widening and lips trembling, "Not again…"

"Come on we can't stay here," said Jack tugging on Tyler's arm.

"He's right, let's go Shea," Tyler said.

"What about Madison?" Shea asked rubbing the back of Richie's head, "Where is she?"

"Somewhere safe for all we know," said Tyler, "But come on! We don't have time for this! At least not here!" cried Tyler grabbing Shea's arm and leading the others into the forest away from the inn, however if they had waited a minute longer they would have had the chance to possibly save two lives.

Julie let out a cry of relief as the Candlewick came into view. She had been on her own for a while now, ever since she was shot at, but hopefully now that she was back at the Candlewick she would find salvation of some kind.

Ashlyn had the same thoughts as she stumbled out of the forest, nearly tripping over her own feet in her hurry. "HELLO!!" she cried out.

Julie stopped dead in her tracks at the noise, "HELLO?" she called back.

"Julie is that you?" Ashlyn asked?

"Ashlyn?" Julie asked as well.

Ashlyn relieved in hearing a familiar voice ran from her spot around the corner to see Julie standing at the entrance of the inn. "Thank god!" she said as she stumbled forward.

"Ashlyn are you ok?" Julie asked.

"No! No, not at all! Julie we have to get out of here!"

"Why, what's happened?"

"Lucas……he's dead," Ashlyn said grimly.

Julie's eyes widened and she stepped back, "Ashlyn I'm sorry.....but then that means I could have been another one," she said, remembering her time in the forest when arrows were shot at her.

"Another what?" Ashlyn asked wiping away the first tears.

"Someone….in the forest, they were shooting at Erin, Chris, and myself." Julie said.

"AND?" Ashlyn asked growing worried.

"I don't know, we split up."

"Well come on we have to find them!" Ashlyn said, turning her back to the entrance of the inn.

"But what about Lucas?" Julie asked looking up at Ashlyn.

Ashlyn let her arms go limp at her sides, "There's nothing I can do for him now but stay alive."

"Ashlyn.." Julie began before stopping at the sound of feet hitting the wooden surface of the inn floor.

Ashlyn looked to Julie with confused eyes before she was suddenly impaled from behind by the curtain holder from Jack's room. Julie screamed as Ashlyn coughed up blood, practically vomiting it.

Julie reached out a trembling hand to Ashlyn, but another blood filled cough caused her to draw her hand back. Another cough sent some of her blood flying onto Julie's face, near her eyes temporarily blinding Julie.

Julie let out a cry as she fumbled backward, not watching her step, Julie tripped over some rocks and tumbled down a hill.

As she watched Julie disappear from her sight the rest of Ashlyn's hope vanished. Her vision began to grow blurry and images started to smear together. "Not fair…" Ashlyn weakly thought, "I was supposed to change….make friends…..find someone to love…..it's not fair."

And it was taken from her when the person sharply removed the curtain holder from her being. The person watched on as her body fell to the ground carelessly, further damaging it. The person let out a low whistle while they picked up the body and tossed it over the hill.

The shrill scream at the bottom told him it was time for another victim.

After settling at the bottom of the hill, Julie quickly wiped her eyes to rid them of Ashlyn's blood. Julie covered her mouth as sobs and cries threatened to escape her mouth. Julie knew she had to move, and she had to move fast.

She began to, silently as possible, crawl away deeper into the forest, but when a whooshing sound came from behind her she made the mistake of looking behind her. She turned in time to see Ashlyn's corpse come flying at her, and smack into the ground next to her.

Julie's eyes widened and she let out a shrill scream. Unable to break her gaze with Ashlyn's eyes Julie wasted valuable seconds. She knelt frozen, that was until the sound of someone running towards her reached her ears. Needing no more motivation Julie stood and began to run. Not daring whatsoever to look behind her.

Madison was starting to feel light headed again as she tried even harder to stay behind Josh. She could feel the sweat trickle down her face as she jumped over a rock. "Can we stop?" she asked.

Josh screeched to a halt, "Again!?" he asked bewildered.

"Yes again, I'm getting tired. What use will we be if we can barley stand up straight?"

"Madison, babe, I know you're tired but people's lives are at stake. Whose life will be truly important for you to keep moving at all costs? Kayla? Shea? Richie?"

Madison squirmed under Josh's gaze, "And what about my friends? Chris? Ringo? Jack? We have to keep moving for them."

"Okay then," Madison said convinced, "What's a little sweat and blood if it can prevent the shed of much more."

"That a girl," Josh said pecking her on the lips before pulling her next to him.

Madison was soon running again in hopes to save her family and friends.

Mak was trudging along through the forest truly alone. He was beginning to grow concerned as he continued to find nobody. "Oh god," he thought, "I'm so alone, so, so alone."

Mak searched left and right, looking for any sign of human activity in the area.

"Why can't I find anyone?" he asked as he began to cry.

Mak soon began to worry when he started to feel like someone was watching him, "Is anyone there?" he called.

With no response he continued to trudge forward through the forest.

As Abby and Jimmy continued to stare out to the ocean Abby grew more and more secure with their surrounding. "You know Jimmy, I think this is the calmest I've been on the island since my mother's death."

Jimmy nuzzled his nose into Abby's hair, "Well I'm glad, I'm glad that you can say that, and that you said it when you were with me."

Abby looked up at Jimmy smiling, before placing a soft kiss on his lips. "This is perfect," Abby said.

"You're perfect," Jimmy said.

Abby scoffed playfully at his choice of words, "Thanks Romeo," Abby said smiling.

Jimmy laughed before drawing Abby closer once more, "It's nice, just being on the sidelines for once…you know? We don't have to worry about anyone but ourselves."

"Yah" Abby said resting her head on Jimmy's chest.

"Everything is perfect, perfect setting, and the perfect person." Abby thought, "But then why do I have this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach."

Someone was searching the forest looking for their two main targets. "Where did I leave them?" someone asked themselves.

Someone looked left and right trying to remember which way it was when a rustling of bushes caught their ear, "Bingo!" someone thought as they saw two other people step out from behind a bush not to far off.

The someone quietly set down the cinderblock with rope, and pulled the bow off of their shoulder. "Just have to wait for one of them to be stupid enough," they said pulling an arrow back tightly.

When one of the figures stuck their head out from behind a tree to survey the area, the someone let the arrow go.

Ringo and Sara continued to walk through the forest looking for any other sign of human life. "Why can't we find anyone Ringo?" Sara asked with watery eyes.

"I don't know, but we'll find someone soon, I promise."

"Or someone will find us." Sara said grimly.

Ringo was about to say something but when a faint sound caused him to stop, "Did you hear that?" he whispered.

Sara grew tense and she walked closer towards Ringo.

"What is-"

"Shhhhh" Ringo said, cutting Sara off, "I don't know, but I get the feeling that someone is watching us."

Sara began to sink to the ground in utter hopelessness. "I'm going to check if anyone's there," he said.

"No please don't," Sara whisper cried.

"I have to, it may mean the difference between life and death." Ringo said.

Sara looked away as Ringo stuck his head out from behind the tree. Ringo quickly looked left, but never right as he was impaled through the head with an arrow.

Sara looked up in horror when she heard a crunching thwack sound and screamed as she saw Ringo's now dead body twirl around slightly before falling to the ground.

Sara started backing up on her hands when a rustling in the distance caught her ear. "SHIT!" she cried out as she someone start running towards her.

Sara quickly picked herself up off the ground and started to sprint through the forest. Sara let her tears blur her vision as she ran from her pursuer. "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!!!!" she cried, "ANYONE PLEASE!" she cried as ran.

Doing a side plant off a rock she was able to quickly jump over a fallen log, however even with her gain of pace and will to live, Sara could feel the someone starting to gain on her. Sara decided to look behind her and the site shocked her beyond all belief. "You?!?!" she gasped.

Sara was then tackled to the ground and the pair rolled into the floral meadow. Sara managed to kick the someone in their stomach and continued to roll away from them. Sara then quickly stood and was about to run, when she saw the corpse of her friend Gwen. "Oh fuck," she said.

In her momentary and fatal lapse of concentration it gave enough time for the someone to run up behind her and grab her.

"NO FUCKER LET ME GO!" she screamed.

Having none of it, the someone grabbed Sara by the neck and snapped it like a twig. The someone then proceeded to throw her body down face first into the ground, now next to Gwen's headless body.

"Bitch," the someone said spitting. The someone quickly turned on their heel and quickly fled the area.

Quite a ways away in another part of the forest Jack sat against Tyler's chest, while Richie was asleep in Shea's arms after crying himself out. The group was hiding in a group of bushes that obscured them from view from any passerby

"We have to go out there," Shea said.

Tyler looked at the woman to his left, the tear tracks staining her face. "We can't, it's too dangerous."

"But Madison and Josh, and everyone else is still out there!" said Shea.

"Would you be willing to put Richie in danger?" asked Tyler, turning towards her.

Tyler noticed the hitch in Shea's breath, "No….but they need us," Shea said.

"They can take care of themselves." Tyler said.

"You're just saying that because no one close to you is out there in danger!" Shea seethed.

"That's where you're wrong Shea," Tyler said.

This caused to Shea to look towards him, "Who do you have?"

"Him," said Tyler motioning to the bundle in his arms.

Shea looked away and focused on keeping Richie comfortable as she looked out to see if anyone was going to pass by.

Speaking of Jack he was deep in thought, missing the entire conversation between Tyler and Shea.

"He was just there, walking to the door, and then….with a single pull….gone….he didn't even know it, and he was done, just like that."

Jack looked down in what could be interpreted as confusion, shock, sorrow, or a mix of all three.

"Didn't even have a chance to defend himself, or possibly say goodbye to his family, never had a chance at true happiness. He never even got a chance to leave the island. He was just cut short, Neil was cut short."

It was at this moment that Jack was letting the full weight of this situation press down on him, and it was overwhelming. "I feel like I could be crushed," he thought, "No one ever really got to know him except for a few people, totally unknown to the world, and when this is all over, just another name on the victim's list…..shit…."

Jack felt a splash of moisture on his hand and looked down to see a single splashed tear drop.

His hand was soon covered by Tyler's who gripped it. "You okay?" he asked.

"I should ask you," Jack said, "How's your hand?"

"Just a scratch really, I'll be fine." Tyler said.

"You sure?" Jack asked.

"Positive, now how about you rest," Tyler said.

"Yah ok," Jack said feeling his eyes droop, overwhelmed with emotion.

After about five minutes he heard Tyler whisper "I love you," but Jack didn't return in, he pretended to be asleep, and in reality he really wished he had been.

"I can't love someone after a few days…..especially with the possibility they may not be here twenty-four hours from now. Have to be realistic…fact is…..going against someone with a gun on a huge island, when everyone is split up…….anyone including myself….will be lucky enough to survive until dawn."

Kayla felt like she had been running in circles forever. "Come on…where is everybody?" she asked herself.

Kayla looked around, her hair plastered to the back of her neck with sweat, "Left or right? Forward or backward? Run or hide?" Kayla decided to go to the right and backwards actually, hoping that she may have missed someone her first time round.

Erin cried out as she fell to the ground, "Fuck you tree," she cursed picking herself off the ground. "Whatever I do I can't let that person find me, can't let them find me," she said breaking off into a run again.

Chris coughed as he continued to run, "Shit… can't stop….could be done at any moment…can't stop," he panted as he ran.

Chris stopped for one second putting his hand on a tree to rest for a second. However as quickly as he stopped, he quickly started up again. Hoping to end his run soon and be safe.

Madison stumbled over a rock as she ran behind Josh. As she fell she flailed her arms and managed to grab onto Josh, only to bring him down with her.

"Ah fuck," Josh grumbled.

"Sorry," said Madison standing up on wobbling legs. Looking around her she noticed that they were back in the meadow. "Well we can't be to far now."

"You're right……but…what's that?" he asked.

"What's what?" Madison asked looking to where Josh had been, and upon seeing it see knew it was another body.

Madison ran forward to the corpse and fell beside it. Turning it over she whimpered when she saw Sara's face looking up with no emotion behind her eyes. "No, no, no, no, no, no." Madison cried.

Josh ran up next to her and pulled her away from her friends body. "NOOOOO!" Madison cried.

"Baby, baby please look at me," Josh said, his eyes beginning to water, "We have to go, it's not safe here, and we HAVE to make sure no one else ends up like them."

Josh pulled Madison to her feet and they continued they started to run again, "Oh god…Sara," Madison said looking at her late friend one last time before departing with Josh.

Julie cried as she continued to run for her life. She could hear the pounding of her pursuers feet, but she could hear the pounding of their feet starting to grow fainter.

Julie picked up her pace and looked behind her. She was stunned to say the least when she saw no one behind her, it was also unfortunate that by looking behind her caused her to break her concentration on what was in front of her, and she ran smack into a tree.

Falling to the ground, her breath was gone, and the entire front portion of her body ached. Julie cursed and tried to stand, but a piercing pain in her ankle made her think she had tweaked it pretty bad when she had fallen.

Not able to get away on foot Julie started to crawl away into hiding, knowing that whoever was chasing her couldn't be too far behind. She had reached some tall grass when she heard the pounding of feet again.

Making sure she was entirely covered, Julie covered her mouth to muffle her heavy breathing. The pounding grew closer and closer until the source shocked Julie. The person didn't come from behind her, but in front of her.

"Oh god it's-" Julie began but stopped when a twig snapped behind her.

There, behind her, was the person chasing her. "You!" she said stunned, she quickly started to crawl away, but the person grabbed her leg and swiftly pulled her back.

"NOOOOOO," she screamed as she saw the person still had the curtain holder and was now aiming at her.

The person jabbed the holder down, impaling Julie in the head, shutting the book on yet another person's life.

The figure ahead of Julie heard her cry out and was now on alert, "Shit," they said and they quickly darted off.

"Well, I guess there's time for more," the person said, taking chase after the figure.

End of Heads Up

Deaths:

Neil

Ashlyn

Ringo

Sara

Julie

Remaining Killers:

?

And

?

Meaning for chapter title: Well pretty much all the deaths this chapter had to do with the head, except Ashlyn. Sara's wasn't the head, it was the neck…but that's close enough

After the next chapter there will be a poll on my profile entitled "Which character do you want to survive Harper's Island 2?" And then the choices will be there. The choices will obviously be anyone who survives the next chapter, so stay tuned for that.

Wow I just realized that I had one of the killers say "Bingo" when they killed Ringo. WOW Anyway, sorry if the chapter seemed hectic, I could imagine if it seemed like that when you're killing five people in one chapter.

Surprisingly I want to update and finish soon because I have 3, what I think are great, ideas for stories and I really want to do them, but I want to finish this first. So you guys will probably luck out and get updates quicker then two weeks.

Probably I don't want to lie.

Preview of a death for next chapter: They'll always be together…no matter what.

Please, Please, Please, review. I'll admit it, I'm a review whore. I LIVE for your reviews because they mean so much to me. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed last chapter and hopefully I'll get some reviews from people I haven't heard from in a while.

Thanks for reading! See you next time. Meow, yes I just meowed I'm trying to fix it so I end with a nice number of words for the chapter.
