…7:30
A huge circle of dust stood in the middle of a wooded area, the circle looking like it was manmade, not looking like it was there in the first place. In the circle stood about two groups of kids. They all had completely lost their sanity, as they both were on their knees and knuckles, acting like a bunch of gorillas. They stood on each side of the circle, grunting and snarling.
Speaking in tongue, the leader of the other group said, "It seems you same to actually fight."
The other leader said, "I always honor my challenges. I never thought you'd come."
"I always come when someone calls me." The leader said.
"Whatever. What do you say we get this over with?" The opponent said.
The others began jumping and shouting war cries, and they charged at each other with all their strength. On the left side of the circle, the others readied themselves for the onslaught. The leaders went toward each other, and the grunts began attacking anyone in sight. The boys lunged at each other, biting and kicking as hard as he could. One of the boys' ears was bitten off and he in turn scratched his eye.
Within the hour, the two groups of five were laying together, their death struggle all in vain. And after all that, neither group knew that the relationship between them had snapped and never fastened.
…8:00
The group had gone to sleep, except Johnny and Eddy. The whole position had finally taken the toll on the boys, and they began to doubt that could actually survive. As they sat on the window sill watching the early morning sun go up high, Johnny took his cigarette pack and handed to Eddy. Eddy shook his head, and Johnny took a cigarette and a match. His fifth cigarette in the whole entire game, he took note in it and gave himself a small round of applause. When he was down to half the cigarette, Eddy spoke up.
"You know, we'll probably not survive the day." He said.
"What says we won't?" Johnny asked.
"I mean, we'll end up killing each other in the night."
This piqued Johnny's curiosity, and he got a sickening feeling inside his stomach. After about what seemed like a minute, he looked towards Eddy and said,
"You're not planning anything, are you?"
"No. I'm saying that if we're the last left, we'll have to kill each other. We won't have any choice. There's only one coming out."
"You're scaring me." Johnny said out loud.
"I don't mean to scare you. But, I'm just saying."
Johnny began to feel weird. Before he could say anything, Eddy grabbed his pocket knife and sliced his hand. He sliced Johnny's hand, but Johnny snatched his hand away, looking at him in disgust and horror. Before he could say anything, grabbed him and said,
"Trust me…"
Johnny let up and Eddy put his hand on his. Johnny looked up to see Eddy actually having tears coming down his face. But, he wasn't crying like he was scared or sad, but it was a determined face that meant he didn't think he'd survive the day.
"If I die, please…protect the group, especially Nazz. They're going to need you now, since you're good at this stuff."
Johnny was trying to understand the situation, and when he did, he nodded his head. Eddy then began to say,
"Me and the others did this when we realized that we were best friends. We promised that we'd never leave each other's side. Since you've done so much for us, I think you're an honorable Ed now."
Johnny finally felt accepted as Eddy's friend. He knew he was his friend, he just didn't feel like it. He finally felt like they were finally friends again. Johnny began to feel tears brimming in his eyes, and he brotherly embraced Eddy. Eddy returned it, but then pulled him away and said,
"Uh…what happens here stays back here, ok?"
Johnny felt a little weird about leaving it when they left, but nodded his head in agreement.
"To think, a Loner merges with an Ed today." Johnny says.
"Like I said, drop it." He said.
Johnny quickly shut his mouth, and wrapped his hand in a bandage and put his glove on it. Eddy did the same and they quickly woke the others up. It took Ed a while to wake him, because he was sound asleep. When they all woke up, they all sat at the table in the middle of the room. Eddy tapped Double D on the shoulder and asked,
"So, we've been here long enough. Where're we going?"
Double D pointed to the map and said,
"We're going back to the civilized area…and we're getting these things off…"
…
The girl who had poisoned her group had been running for two hours. The insane smile on her face didn't wither one bit, and she had been giggling all the time she was running. She seemed to be having fun thinking about the death inside that house on the beach. She began to think of who she was going to kill next. This blood hungry bitch, as she called herself, had been playing this game ever since it started, she just didn't kill anyone yet.
She finally stopped to take a rest. She began crossing off names by random, deciding to look for them later in the day. While she was crossing off names, she heard the cock of a gun behind her head.
"Well, well well…if it isn't the bitch who made my sister into one of your dolls." Said the girl.
The other girl looked around, seeing one of her classmates and three others behind her. She had bullied all three of them, and made one of their sisters her personal slave. When she saw she couldn't take them head on, she pretended to go weak in the knees.
"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to do all of that." She said, pretending to be scared.
"Don't bullshit me. You've been on our asses ever since we came to Peach Creek in fifth grade. You didn't let up one bit."
"I swear, I didn't mean it." She began to say, pretending to cry.
"Oh, boo-hoo…I know people like you. How you pretend you're so sorry…ha! It's not getting to me."
"What should I do to get you to forgive me? Beg? Crawl on my knees!"
The girls looked at each other and then the leader said,
"We'd like to see that…but it won't be the only thing."
With that, she got on her knees and pretended to beg. She pretended as best as she could, feeling glad that she took those acting classes, and kept on begging until she felt like she really was. She felt them let up their grip on their weapons, and she saw the chance to strike. She then began to grab the leader's arms and struggled with her for her weapon. She kneed her in the stomach, and flipped over her back and stole her weapon. She fired on the other girls, each bullet hitting their mark and then finally went towards the leader. She began to kick her, her insane smile on her face growing wider and wider, and she finally stomped on her neck, like she did at the house, killing her instantly.
"Doesn't feel good to be kicked by this blood hungry bitch, isn't it?" she said, and she casually walked away, feeling an adrenaline rush go through her body.
