Hello again my lovely audience. So sorry for the late update again. As I promised this story will be completed one day. I wont give up.
Please enjoy! Next update will be so good.
Back at the cabin with girls Amber Cook (# 15) and Lisa Walsh (# 20) they are freaking out over the intercom announcement. Amber didn't move a muscle as she was laying down in cold sweats, her arm feeling much worse and bruised black. A lot of fluid built up in her hand and wrist from the clot in her artery.
Lisa looks out a window in Amber's room crying with clenched fists. Amber tilts her head weakly at her. "Lisa I'm already dead, you need to get out of here. Find Javier and you two need to get out of here." She repeated. Amber grew delirious slipping in and out of conciseness.
"It doesn't matter if I get off this island with Javier." Lisa spoke harshly. "He loves you. Not me. Even if I were to end up with him, he would never love me the same than with you."
"What are you talking about Lisa?" Amber moaned shaking her head weakly. "He likes you a lot."
"But he loves you!" Lisa knocks a dusty lamp off the table next to her. The table eventually knocked over as Lisa kicked one of the stools that broke holding it up.
"Lisa please don't do this." Amber spoke calmly and began to tear up again. "I always took your liking him into consideration, we are friends and I always knew about it."
"How are you taking it into consideration when you're dating him and you knew I loved him first?!" Lisa screams.
Amber cries louder. "I'm really sorry Lisa, things changed the moment we spent time on that project we did for Mr. Ross' class two years ago. I wanted to talk to him about you since you were really interested in him. I didn't plan that and it just happened that he liked me more. I'm so sorry Lisa. I'm sorry I abandoned you for Nikki too. I don't know what happened."
Lisa collapses on her knees next to Amber's bed taking her hand and cries with her.
"Can you do me a favor before you go Lisa?" Amber said.
"What?" Lisa has her face buried on the beds side. She lifts her head and see's Amber's face full with horror. "What?" Lisa asks again scared.
"I can feel the bullet working its' way back out." Amber said moaning. "I'm in incredible pain and I'm already dying-."
Lisa could see where this conversation was heading. "No Amber, I'm not going to kill you!"
"Lisa please." Amber looks at Lisa with pleading eyes. "You have no idea how much this hurts. I need you to help me here."
Lisa cries hysterically and faces away from the bed. "Lisa when it comes out I will be bleeding everywhere for hours and I will feel it and slowly die painfully. Please I need you to quickly smother me before this happens."
Lisa knew Amber's parents are EMS doctors so Amber must have been talking through their experiences. "Is there something else I can do A-Amber?"
"No I'm afraid not," Amber cried. "I'm scared too Lisa but I'm asking you as a friend, please."
Lisa didn't move for a while, tears streamed down her face, she felt sick and started to swallow the bile and breathed. She gets up looks at the extra pillow on the bed and takes her friends hand again in hers. "I love you Amber."
Amber smiles back at her.
Everything was a complete blur and a black out sequence to Lisa, she remembered taking the pillow, Amber's smile and her dead pale sleeping face after removing the pillow. Now Lisa was outside staring at her own puke on the ground. She is shaking in sweats afraid to go back inside. What was she going to tell Javier? That she had to do what she was told by Amber? Or lie and say that Amber just suddenly died from the clot in her artery.
Lisa covers her tearing face with her hands, she felt like being dead now after what she had done. She became self-aware that all was silent around her after a bird flew away from a branch above her.
All around it was too quiet, Lisa missed the company and now want the boys to return. Still afraid to go back into the cabin she sits on the porch to wait even though Amber had told her to go she felt it wasn't right to leave her body in that room.
An hour later Lisa heard some shuffling in the brush and voices calling for help as they came her way. She made out that it was a group of three people. Two girls in front and a boy behind them. It was Talia Collins (# 7), Emma Gibson (#4) and Michael Jax (# 22).
Lisa ran as fast as she could back into the cabin and locked the door. "Lisa let us in!" Talia screamed knocking on the door. Emma join Talia pleading to let them in.
Lisa screamed as Michael broke the window in the kitchen. It is too small for him to crawl through. "Open the damn door Lisa!"
"For God's sake Lisa that crazy Japanese girl is coming let us in!" Emma screamed.
Lisa bit her lip unlocking the door and lets them in, she backs up as all three of them come in like cattle and started to shut all the shutters in all rooms and Michael locks the door behind him. "Jesus Lisa, you couldn't be in the right place at the wrong time ever."
"Story of my life." Lisa whispered, her heart pounding.
"What happened to Amber?" Talia asked coming back into the room.
"She had a gunshot to her artery. I couldn't save her." Lisa swallows without looking at her. That was enough questions. "Turn off the lights and take cover everyone." Michael said.
Lisa turns off the main lights and hovers next to Michael near a kitchen cabinet. "Where are your weapons?"
"Yasu took them all at our campsite." He said. "Get in the cupboard, I'll take guard."
"With what exactly?" Lisa argues in a whisper.
Michael shakes a box in front of Lisa's face. "Found a box full of matches near the window I smashed." Footsteps are heard outside. "Get in." He whispers nudging Lisa.
Lisa crawls in under the cabinet without making a sound. Emma gets inside a wardrobe, Lisa had no idea just where Talia went. Maybe she hid somewhere in the back of the cabin.
The footsteps came closer and appeared on the porch. Yasu said something slowly in Japanese and she walked to the side of the house without trying to open the door first. Lisa knew what Yasu was doing. She was studying everything about the cabin in case they all had an idea for escape Yasu would know every entrance, she even tested every sound her foot would make to know where they would be at each side of the house.
Lisa stuck her head out of the cabinet to make sure Michael knew what she was doing too. Michael nods his head at her in the dark. He knew as well.
Yasu made it back to the front side of the porch. Then the door knob tilts but couldn't be opened. Michael took the box of matches carefully opens it up and gets one out. The knob keeps twitching and a booming sound against it, then another one.
Emma can be heard squealing inside of the wardrobe. During the next boom Michael told Emma to shush.
Then something was thrown outside of the cabin from one of the back rooms, Lisa thought it was Talia trying to divert Yasu's attention. It worked. Yasu ran towards the side of the cabin where the noise came. Another noise is made in the back room where the window slammed shut. Michael gets up and runs toward the room with Talia in it.
Emma starts to cry. "This is it."
"Emma please be quiet." Lisa whispers crawling back out of the cabinet. Emma whimpers but at least it was mono toned. Everything is quiet. Not a sound is heard in the back except the look of a shadow. Lisa gets close to the cupboard again ready to hide.
Michael runs back into the room and the shadow is gone. "Talia's gone. I can't find her anywhere but I did find blood on the window seal. Emma get out of there."
Emma gets out of the wardrobe. "What are you doing? She'll know we're here." Emma whined.
Michael tied his brown hair back into a ponytail and began pushing it to the door. "It doesn't matter Emma. She knows we're here already."
"What does putting the wardrobe in front of door solve?" Emma looks clueless.
The door knocks again and Emma screams.
"Before she opens that door I will set the wardrobe on fire and that bitch will burn with it." Michael said lighting the match on fire and threw it on the inside of the wardrobe.
"Go Emma, Lisa come on lets go." Just after he turns around his throat is slashed with an axe. He sees Yasu smirking into his face before he falls to the ground. Emma screams back and forth as loud as she could. During this Lisa made her way to the burning pieces of wood.
Yasu smiles at Emma as she backs her into a corner in the cabin. Emma gave out another scream and Yasu lashed her axe into the top of Emma's head.
Lisa threw a sharp piece of wood on fire at Yasu and it shot through her shoulder. Yasu screams and Lisa took Michael's matches in her hand getting up and ran to the back where Amber laid dead. She saw an open window and was about to dart for it until Yasu screamed at her and yanked Lisa's hair turning her over on the bed Yasu plunges her axe into Lisa's stomach.
Lisa looks stunned into Yasu's eyes. Yasu laughs taking the axe out of Lisa. She starts to walk away but before leaving Lisa whispers her name. Yasu looks back and Lisa swipes a match and throws it on Yasu's face.
Yasu's face catches on fire and she screams climbing out the window and runs away with her hands patting her face.
Lisa makes her way up on the bed and takes Amber's hand into hers until she dies.
Elizabeth stares coldly at Claire after the story she gave.
"Are you okay Elizabeth?" Robbie asks and waves his hand over her eyes to distract her gaze.
"I don't blame her for being mad at me." Claire fidgets. "But Lizzy I'm so sorry."
"Both of you just don't talk to me right now." Elizabeth walks pass them, both didn't say a word as she grabs her back pack and walks toward Kiriyama.
Elizabeth opens up a new bottle. "I assume you're thirsty."
"I'm actually no-"
"That wasn't a question." Elizabeth looks at him sternly.
"Of course," Kiriyama smirks and Elizabeth sits next to him to help him drink the water. "I know you only came over here to get away from them." Elizabeth glances at him again. "I have ears and I understand what you're all saying. It's always drama with you American's."
"You're not doing your nationality any justice either." Elizabeth said taking a sip of the water too and they look at each other at the same time and laugh together quietly.
"Ah, you beat me yet again fair and square." Kazuo smiles.
"You don't smile like this much and it actually suits you to be honest." Elizabeth said gazing at it, she found it more attractive rather than just his physical looks alone.
"It doesn't suit how I feel on the inside." He said apathetically.
Elizabeth looked at him feeling sorry again. "Perhaps the reason why you're so emotionless and angry is because you're keeping the past bottled up in you and you're not letting it go." Kiriyama didn't say a word he just looked at the earth beneath him. "I could relate once. If you ever choose to talk about it, I'll understand."
Elizabeth gets up and lays her hand on his shoulder. He didn't inch away from her touch which was new to Elizabeth.
Just as Elizabeth started to walk away the intercom came back on with the music playing first and Ms. Ti came with the new announcement.
"I make the new rule change and suddenly the death rates go up. You go guys. I won't say who died. You'll have to figure all of that on your own." Ms. Ti lets out a giggle. "For now there are only twelve of you standing, so that's eleven more to go. Who knows perhaps this battle will be over by tonight instead of tomorrow. New danger zones are A-23, A-25, B-24, C-13, F-14, G-5 and J-30. That is all. Good luck."
Elizabeth looks at her map. "Guys we are in a danger zone!"
Robbie comes marching over. "Let me see." He snatches it from Elizabeth. "Where do you see that?"
"In this area with the barn she said B-24 and that is in this area." Elizabeth pointed. "We've got to get out of here."
"I'll go pack the traps then." Robbie gives her back the map and walks outside.
"Hurry up we got an hour!" Elizabeth shouts to Robbie.
Elizabeth goes inside the supply room, she finds some rope and matches. She takes some without taking the full box. Claire joins her.
"Elizabeth can we talk please?" Claire stood back, wary of Elizabeth when she reacts.
"I don't want to, either you come with us or you don't. I don't care because after all of this I never want to speak to you again."
"Liz I'm sorry I lied to you." Claire begins to cry grabbing the door by its hinge.
"It's something bigger than a lie Claire," Elizabeth barred her teeth. "You told me things that you and Trey did but never really did just so you can talk me into doing it with Robbie. Just what were you trying to do? Make me do it first before you would do it with Trey?"
"No, I don't know." Claire shrieks. "Maybe at the time but Liz." She tries to touch Elizabeth's arm and Elizabeth pulls back.
"Don't touch me." Elizabeth exclaims. "You're nothing but a manipulator, get out of my way."
Elizabeth walks out and waits for Robbie for twenty minutes. Claire sat close behind from Elizabeth and both did not exchange any words, both grew very impatient. Elizabeth gave up and walks up to Kiriyama taking her sword out from its sheath.
"What are you doing?" Claire jolts up.
"I'm not waiting for Robbie to come back. If you want to come with us I don't care either way if you do or don't but I'm leaving without him." Elizabeth paces her samurai sword under Kiriyama's ropes and sets him free.
"How do you feel? You think you can stand up?" Elizabeth asks him.
"I feel a bit lucid but I can manage." Kiriyama said standing up and dusting the rope off of him.
"Fine then Elizabeth, you're insane anyways." Claire said limping out of the barn.
"Alright I'm going to take that as a no." Elizabeth said slipping on her back pack and Kiriyama gets a hold of his."
"Come on we're going south of here." Kiriyama said. He too limped but not as bad as Claire's injury. Elizabeth hoped deep down that Claire would be okay.
Elizabeth walked alongside Kiriyama without both saying a word to each other. Elizabeth would look back every now and then to see if Claire or Robbie were following. They waked as far away from it as possible that Elizabeth could no longer see the barn in sight.
Kiriyama finally spoke. "Once it reaches night it would be better to sleep in a wooded area instead of in one of the houses. Everyone will be flooding toward them."
"Are you sure?" Elizabeth looks up at him pushing her bangs aside from the wind.
"Yes, trust me alright." Kiriyama picks up his pace and so does Elizabeth.
Back at the barn Claire went back inside after Kiriyama and Elizabeth had left. Claire had her knees up to her face and began to cry very subtle. She didn't mean to call her friend insane nor did she mean deep down lying to her.
Robbie returns from gathering his set of traps and they flop to the ground as he saw Kiriyama was no longer tied to his post. "Claire what happen and where is Elizabeth?"
Claire looks up at Robbie and dries up her face and eyes with her arm. "She cut him loose and they took off. I don't know where they went so don't ask me." Claire holds her head as if she was having an ache there but it was really fatigue from guilt and crying a lot.
"Can I see your map?" Robbie said kneeling by her.
Claire groaned in annoyance. "You have a map, why don't you look at your own?" She reached over and gave him her map anyways.
Robbie looks over it. "Did you even mark your map during the announcement?"
"Did you?!" Claire shot back and Robbie tosses it back to her. "That's right give me back my damn map. Damn map hoarder."
Robbie takes out his and looks at the areas he just marked and the ones that were marked before. "So this area south should be safe you think?"
"Yeah I guess." Claire said more calmly. "It's my fault. I destroyed my friendship with Lizzy for good this time. And it sucks because now we're all going to die."
"So south it is." Robbie folded his map back up and picks up his crossbow.
"Yeah we should probably head over there now if we want to make it out of this danger zone first." Claire said with a tiny snort as she stopped crying.
"Woah now, wait a minute." Robbie smirked. "Who said we?"
Claire winces confused and looks up at Robbie. He has his crossbow aimed at her and he releases an arrow. It ends up in Claire's neck on each side. She gasps looking at it and up at him. "I can't breathe," she said over and over again hoarsely.
"Oh I'm sorry," Robbie face palms himself smiling. "Let me fix that for you."
Robbie shoots another arrow into Claire and all goes blank.
