Island.
Chapter Three.
The remaining four members of the group sat on the beach, Edge and Kurt had told them of Rocky's death a while ago, none of them had been very close to him, but they began to wonder who had killed him.
"So who do you think will be next?" asked Kurt eagerly.
"Shut up Kurt, no-one is going to be next." Said Edge.
"Well, come on, it's pretty easy to figure out, there's a wild killer on the loose and he's killing us all one by one."
Stephanie burst into tears and ran into the tent.
"You know what Kurt, I hope it's you." Said Edge as he watched Stephanie run in.
" I don't think we should stay here anymore." Said Rob, Edge and Kurt looked at him in surprise.
"Where else do you think we are going to go? This is the clearest place we know, if a plane flies by, it is sure to spot us."
"Yeah and the killer will spot us too, he obviously knows we are here, he could come at any time, we need to before he hatches his next plan."
Edge shuffled the sand in his feet. He knew Rob was right, though he didn't like to admit it.
"Where should we go?"
"I'd say keep to the shoreline and work our way around the Island, if we go into the jungle, the killer will find it easier to get us."
"One things for sure, we are going to do everything we can to make sure none of us get killed, we're a team, TEAM?"
"TEAM!" shouted Edge, Kurt and Rob.
"That means, no having a go at me, you should respect a Olympic Gold Medallist like me if anyone knows how to survive on a desert Island with a maniac killer…"
"Kurt, shut up!" said Edge interrupting him before walking to the tents with Rob.
"See this is exactly what I mean, your be sorry Edge when the killer is after you and you haven't got Kurt to support you, your be sorry." Kurt said to an empty beach.
Hours later, Kurt, Edge, Rob and Stephanie were equipped to start their journey, the guys were just wearing shorts and a full layer of mosquito spray, Stephanie wore a pair of black shorts and a bikini top, she hadn't wanted too at first with all the guys gagging for her but it was hot and she didn't want to die of dehydration.
"Rob, I hope you know what you are going?"
"Well, if we end up back at the tents, we know we are just down a full circle." Rob laughed.
"Very funny, I can't believe I'm doing this." Said Kurt sarcastically.
"Come on Kurt, your usually such a lively guy, lighten up, it's quite exciting, don't you think?" said Stephanie smiling at him.
" Well if I look at it like that, maybe things aren't so bad."
"Anyway, I know you won't die, your so much more brainy than those guys." Stephanie whispered to Kurt.
"Yeah well, I don't have much competition in the brains department." Kurt said in a cocky tone.
"What, excuse me, I didn't get to be the Billion Dollar Princess for nothing."
"I was talking about the guys, Steph you're the craftiest, sly person I know and I love you for it."
"Kurt, I think the mosquito spray just have gotten into your brain." Stephanie smiled.
"Oh no, my head's clear." Chuckled Kurt stroking Stephanie's hair.
Stephanie stared into Kurt's eyes and they looked as if they were about to kiss but a mosquito landed right on Kurt's shoulder.
"OWW, GET OFF, YOU FUCKING FLY!"
As Kurt desperately tried to wave away the buzzing mosquitoes, Stephanie looked towards Edge and Rob ahead of them.
"Hey Steph, Kurt, we found something!" Rob called.
"Come on Kurt!" Stephanie called.
"Damn Mosquitoes!" Kurt said as he chased towards the others.
Edge and Rob stood around a collection of small caves, Edge was peering into one looking intrigued.
"I think there's something in there."
"What? An animal or something?" asked Stephanie.
"No, like a blanket or sleeping bag or something."
"Maybe it's the killer's camp!" exclaimed Kurt.
"There's only one way to find out!" said Edge lowering himself into the cave.
"Your not deadly serious, he might in there, I mean I hate you, but if you go in there, you're just going to get slaughtered!"
"Come on then Kurt, you're the survival expert, you're the Olympic Gold Medallist, why don't you come too?"
"No way, you're not getting me in that cave."
"Go on Kurt, you can do it, Edge only wants you to come cause he's scared." Said Stephanie.
"Yeah Kurt, come on, I'm scared, I need you by my side to hold my hand." Edge joked.
"I don't know way I'm doing this, but I am, come on lets see what the killer has in store for us today, Bye Rob, Bye Stephanie, this maybe the last you see of me."
"Hey, don't jinx it!" shouted Stephanie.
Edge and Kurt slid down into the black cave until they were invisible to Stephanie and Rob.
"Edge, can you see anything?" asked Kurt.
"Yeah, come down here, you may be right, it could be the killer's camp."
Kurt walked down ducking his head as he reached Edge, he looked to see a sleeping bag and cans of food strewn across the floor.
"Has it been slept in recently?"
"It's hard to tell, it could have been here for months."
"That doesn't help us, it's stupid being in here, and it won't help us escape the killer whether we know he lives here or not."
"He may come back though, there's still some uneaten food." Suggested Edge.
"Are you suggesting that we just sit here and wait for the killer to come back?"
"We'll find out who it is."
" Yeah, right before he shoves an axe in our head."
Stephanie and Rob sat on the rocks drinking their small supplies of water.
"They've been in there a long time, do you think anything has happened?"
"Nah, there cool, they know what there doing." Answered Rob.
"It's pretty freaky though, I mean I was walking forward to a romantic weekend with Hunter and now he's dead and he are being stalked by an Island psycho, he could be watching us right this second, I wish Hunter was here, he would know what to do."
"Yeah whatever Steph." Rob said walking into the bushes.
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing." Rob said annoyed.
"Why did you say that when I talked about Hunter?" Stephanie said running to catch up with him.
"Its just that you don't seem that upset about his death, your more interested with Kurt."
Stephanie looked at him angrily.
"Excuse Me, but I loved my husband…"
"Steph, can a guy please go to the bog in peace."
"Not till you tell me what you're going on about." Stephanie said put her arms on her hips.
SLAM.
Birds flew up in the way as a loud slamming noise came from the distance of the caves.
"What the hell was that?" asked Rob.
"I don't know, it came from the caves."
Rob and Stephanie ran towards the caves but stopped when they saw the sight, a huge pile of boulders and rocks had been placed into the entrance of the cave, the one Kurt and Edge had gone into.
Edge fell to the floor as the ground shook and rocks fell into the cave.
"What is going on? We aren't suppose to have earthquakes here!" cried Kurt.
A few seconds later the rumbling stopped, Edge and Kurt looked towards the entrance which now blocked in.
"I don't believe this, we'll trapped in!"
They ran to the rocks and tried to push through with no luck.
"Stephanie!" Rob! Help us!" called Kurt panicking.
"Rob!"
"Stephanie!"
"Kurt?"
"Edge?"
Rob and Stephanie called back.
"Were trapped in here, can you get us out?" called Kurt.
"We'll trying, but your blocked in, not only have you got lots of small rocks but your got one big boulder at the front, there's no way we can push it with our bare hands, we need like a forklift or something."
"A forklift!, we are on a deserted island, where do you think the forklift is coming from?"
"Ok, don't panic, where get you out, we just need to go back to camp and get some tools." Shouted Rob.
"Well Hurry Up!"
Edge and Kurt sat back down in the cave, at least they had the comfy sleeping bag to sit on.
"This is just typical! We are sitting here in complete darkness, trapped in a cave, thank you for dragging me into this." Said Kurt angrily.
"I didn't drag you in, you came in, just so you could impress Stephanie."
"Oh Shut up Edge, I don't need you having a go at me, gods knows how long we are going to be here for!"
Kurt looked over to see Edge laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing at? This isn't funny!"
"Yes it is, throughout this trip we've arguing and now were trapped in a cave together."
"Don't you dare start getting any ideas!" said Kurt.
"I wasn't thinking that, well maybe I was a little."
"Shut up, Shut up, I'm not listening to you."
"I'm only joking, don't panic."
Silence filled the cave.
"But aren't you a little bit interested? It might be fun you know, people say I'm very…"
"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, KILLER IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, KILL EDGE NOW PLEASE BEFORE I DO!"
Rob and Stephanie made there way back to the camp, it wasn't a happy visit, both were worried about Kurt and Edge but Stephanie also had something else on her mind.
"There is nothing going on between Kurt and I Ok Rob."
"I didn't say there was."
"But you implied it, look I know Kurt is besotted with me and I think if I wanted to be with him, I would be by now."
"Now's your chance, now that your husband died, leaving you alone on an island Kurt, that was a rather nice coincidence."
"I don't like the way you are going Rob, the last thing I wanted was my husband to die and as for being upset, it will do me know good especially as I'm fighting for my own life, to be honest, it hasn't really sunk in yet." Stephanie said tears forming in her eyes.
Rob noticed this and immediately felt guilty.
"Hey I'm sorry, in a situation like this, any idea springs to mind, I guess I'm scared too and I'm taking it out on you, I'm sorry."
"It's Ok."
"The most important thing is that we rescue Edge and Kurt and get off this Island."
Stephanie dried her eyes and walked with Rob to the beach.
"Did you really think that I had murdered my husband just so I could be with Kurt?"
"You said it not me."
"That would it be cool."
Rob looked at Stephanie and laughed.
"Yeah, but why did you need to kill Rocky too?"
"He knew too much!" laughed Stephanie. "And now I have to kill you too."
Rob laughed as Stephanie pretending to stab him playfully.
Suddenly, a sharp rock came flying through the air and hit Rob on the side of head knocking him to the floor, Stephanie looked up quickly to the direction of the rock had come from and saw a dark figure with blond hair run through the trees.
Oh my God, it's Hunter! Stephanie thought.
"HUNTER!"
"HUNTER!" she shouted into the trees, but no answer came back.
In the Next Chapter.
Stephanie tries to convince the group that she saw Hunter but have they realised too late?
