All eighteen of us gathered at the hotel patio, most people sat down in chairs at one big table, minus Ellen and Simon who chose to stand nearby. I tried to take any empty seat next to Dane, but Miranda got there before I did. I quietly growled as they started talking to each other.

"This shy girl better not be making a move on Dane!" I very angrily told myself.

I angrily took an empty seat next to Donald, who could tell I was in a bad mood.

"Hey there little girl!" Donald started with his annoying voice, turn that frown upside down!"

I quickly poked Donald in the eye without even looking at him.

"Ow!" Donald cried in his normal voice.

"Settle down Donald!" Irene stated. "We need to start talking about everything we just learned from Aqua Tail."

"First off, just what was Aqua Tail?" Asked Raj.

"That's enough out of you, pussy boy!" Harvey exclaimed. "I'm gonna kick your ass!"

Bridget, who was sitting right next to Harvey slapped him real hard on the back of his head.

"Ow!" Harvey rubbed his head in pain.

"Seriously Harvey, you need to stop it." Stated Bridget.

"Agreed." Glared Irene. "You keep acting like this Harvey, and I'm gonna teach you another lesson."

"What?! What I do!?" Asked Harvey.

"Just shut up if you don't want Irene to kick the crap out of you again." I angrily muttered, still in a bad mood.

Harvey looked from me and back to Irene glaring at him, and screamed. "Okay!"

"Then get this meeting started with already." Ordered Ellen. "You idiots have already wasted enough of my time."

"Then let's get this party started!" Sam exclaimed as she clapped her hands.

"Indeed." Agreed Irene. "Raj asked a good question, what exactly kind of...thing is Aqua Tail?"

"He definitely isn't a new cryptid we could of discovered." Gavin answered sadly.

"I firmly believe that Aqua Tail is what he appears to be." Dana replied. "He's a robotic creation that resembles an otter."

"For sure." Agreed RK. "However, someone has to be controlling him, there's no way a robot did all of this by itself."

"You're saying we have some kind of mastermind using Aqua Tail as a puppet, while they're the one who really did all of thus?" Asked Sapphire.

"Puppet!?" Exclaimed Donald in his Mr. Warn voice.

"Shut up Freak!"

"I wouldn't bet anything on it being just one person." Kirsty added. "It has to be multiple people, perhaps a lot of people."

"My darling Kirsty is so smart." Henry commented with heart eyes."

"Can someone please trade seats with me?!"

"Getting back on track." Irene stated sternly. "I agree we're up against a lot of foes here, but until we find out anything about them, we can't know what to expect."

"They're most likely a really rich and powerful group, if they did all of this. RK suggested. "But even that can't do much for us."

"That sucks!" Rory complained. "We don't really know anything about whoever brought us here to this island."

"Speaking of...Aqua Tail..." Miranda tried to say. "Should we...be at all...concerned that..."

"Concerned about what?" Henry asked.

"Concerned...he'll...hurt us?"

"I don't think we'll have to worry about that." Dane replied. "One of the rules is that Aqua Tail will never hurt us, unless we break the rules or lose a class trial."

"I got it!" Sam shot her fists up in the air, and she accidentally hit Dane in the face, sending him back in his chair. She was totally oblivious as he hit the ground. Sam got more excited to talk, as Miranda got up and helped Dane up. Simon snickered at what just happened.

"Poor Dane." I thought to myself. "And poor me as well."

"We should all fight back against Aqua Tail!" Sam exclaimed, while standing up form her chair. "There is eighteen of us and only one of him! Even if he could hurt us, no way he could do anything before all of us took him down! We can win this!"

"I'm not so sure about that." Replied RK. "The rules do say we can't harm Aqua Tail."

"Also, caffeine junkie." Added Simon. "We literally just said the fuckers that brought us here are most likely a large, powerful group. They could easily outnumber as anytime they want."

"Oh, right." Replied Sam, as she sat down embarrassed.

"When you put it like that, I don't wanna be nervous, but then what is stopping anyone controlling Aqua Tail from say killing us in the middle of the night?" Asked Bridget, who seemed a bit nervous.

"Yeah." Agreed Raj. "They could take us out anytime they wanted.

"I don't think so." I countered. "While we still don't know a lot of things, we do know that we were brought to this island to play this so called killing game, they wouldn't kill us when they want us to kill each other."

"Right!" Agreed Sapphire. "They won't kill us since they want us to kill each other!"

"Yeah, that sure is real fucking reassuring." Simon muttered.

"Moving on." Irene quickly said. "Anyone have anything they want to discuss?"

"I would like to discuss the bathroom situation." Dana proposed.

"What bathroom situation?" Asked Dane.

"The fact that the only bathrooms on this island, according to Aqua Tail, are a little bit of a walk from our huts. Just like he said, someone could waiting in the darkness of the night to attack someone, and I definitely don't want that to happen."

"Darkness of the night, very artsy dear." Commented Bridget.

"I agree, we do need to do something about this." Stated Bridget. "Perhaps we can work out some kind of buddy system, that way someone is always with someone when they need to make a trip to the bathroom."

"I don't wanna get up at three in the morning, just to walk the puppet boy or burger boy to the bathroom, just because they're little pussies." Harvey stated.

"Harvey!" Donald said in his Mr. Warn voice, as he moved him around. "That wasn't very nice!"

"I'm gonna shove that puppet up your ass!"

"Stop it!" Cut in Kirsty. "You're derailing the discussion!"

"Like Irene said, we should just have a buddy system in the event someone has to use the bathroom late at night." Said Dana. "We can select partners at the end of this meeting."

"Sounds like a plan!" Gavin exclaimed. "Oh yeah, where are we suppose to shower at. I didn't find any shower area on this island, and Aqua Tail never mentioned it."

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Sapphire screamed. "He's right! No showers!"

"Idiot." Ellen muttered.

"Attention students!" Aqua Tail's voice was shouted out of nowhere, putting us all on edge. "Since our stupid piece of shit author forgot to add showers during the investigation chapters, I'm just letting you all know that the bathrooms have showers in them for both sides, that is all! Carry on and happy murders!"

After Aqua Tail stopped speaking, we all stood around stunned.

"A fourth wall break already?" Asked Rory.

"I guess so." Sam replied. "But at least we have showers!"

"That's good to know." I stated. "But we should get back on track."

"I was...thinking." Miranda started with. "I think...Harvey...should stop bullying and hurting...people."

"Yeah!" Agreed Raj.

"I second that." Seconded Dane. "Or I guess third that."

"It isn't nice to bully other people Harvey." Donald said in his Mr. Warn voice.

Harvey got really angry. "I'm gonna throw all of you bitches in the ocean!"

"Yeah, you're all talk when your arms are full of steroids." Simon added.

Harvey turned to Simon, with a look that could kill. "What the fuck did you just say funny man?!"

"I said, perhaps you're only the Ultimate Cyclist because you pumped steroids into your tiny twig of a dick before each race."

With that last remark from Simon, Harvey burst out of his chair, and ran up to Simon with a fist raised."

"Stop this!" Cried Irene as she got up from her chair as well.

"Don't!" Begged Dana.

"Such idiots." Ellen added as she quickly stepped away from what was about to happen.

Right as Harvey got up in Simon's face with a fist raised at him. Simon quickly caught his fist in one hand, and then delivered a quick kick to his leg. Harvey yelled in pain as he fell to the ground. Simon then released Harvey's arm and gave him a few more kicks while he was on the ground.

"Not so tough when you're on the floor there Lance Armstrong Junior." Simon said as he smiled.

Irene got right between Harvey and Simon, she glared at Simon. "Enough!"

Simon just shrugged and stepped back away, while showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Can I kick him too?" Rory asked.

"No!" Irene turned to face the table, glaring intensely. "Do you people not understand the situation we're in? This ends now!"

Dana quickly got up from her seat to run over to Harvey to help him up. "I agree with Irene, you guys need to stop attacking each other. I'll always be here to help those who need it, but it is a waste of effort to have to help someone who was attacked for no reason."

"Then perhaps Harvey should listen to Miranda's suggestion and quit acting like a hot shot." Suggested RK.

Dana helped Harvey up, who was feeling quite dazed. Irene looked around to make sure everyone was clam, and then they all returned to their seats.

"Well Harvey?" Asked Henry. "Are you gonna quit acting like such a bully?"

Harvey just groaned in pain.

"Forget this." Sapphire stated. "This is a waste of time, what's next?"

"I know, I know!" Sam excitingly stated, while raising her hand.

"Do you have an idea Sam?" Asked Bridget.

"Yeah! Yeah! We should totally have a leader here! Someone that can totally be in charge of all our moves going forward!"

Gavin stood up, looking proud. "I accept this request to lead this group."

"But, we didn't even consider anyone else." Raj added.

"Sorry Gavin." I apologized. "But if we're really gonna pick a leader, I feel like Irene would be our best choice."

"What?!" A shocked Gavin exclaimed.

"I agreed." Agreed Bridget. "Irene is the obvious choice. She is just so strong, smart, determined, considerate, and lovely." She gave Irene a smile and wank.

Irene looked a bit embarrassed. " Why thank you Bridget."

"If this were a retail store, it would clearly be me." Kirsty added. "But this isn't, so I recommend Irene as well, I know she'll work hard as our leader."

"And she is the Ultimate Wilderness Survivor." Dane added. "She definitely has the right experience."

"But we're not in the wilderness!" Countered Gavin.

But there was no use for Gavin to argue, pretty much everyone was settled on Irene.

"Well, if everyone insists, you can count on me!" Irene said with confidence.

Gavin sat back down, looking totally defeated.

"Anything else we can talk about?" Asked Rory.

Nobody said anything, as we all thought for a bit about anymore questions. Then, it hit me!

"Does anyone else remember anything about Future Hope Academy before waking up on this island?" I asked to the group.

My question got everyone looking at me, along with shocking coming to their faces. Even Ellen and Simon looked a bit uncomfortable.

"Future Hope Academy?" Raj asked.

"I know I was invited to attend." Replied Dana. "And I assume everyone else was as well."

"We were all suppose to attend that school." Added Henry.

"But instead, we're on this island." Responded RK.

"Does anyone remember attending class at Future Hope Academy?" Asked Irene.

No one said yes.

"Were we all in the same class?" Sam asked. "The note on my tablet said you guys were my classmates."

"This is definitely some spooky, fucked up shit." Simon added.

"What's...What's going on?" Miranda asked nervously.

"That's what we're trying to figure out!" Complained Sapphire. "But no one knows anything!"

"Is this some kind of prank the school set up for us?" Harvey asked.

"I doubt the school would go this far." Dana answered.

"Oh no! This is bad news boys and girls!" Donald said in his annoying voice.

The group went silent for a bit, I could feel the eerie chill around us.

"Just what the hell is going on?" I asked myself.

"Maybe whoever brought us here knocked us out really hard before our first day of school." Suggested Rory. "I remember the night before my first day, so they might of got all of us on the way to school."

"Perhaps." Bridget replied. "But that still doesn't get us far."

"Just what did they do to us?" Asked Kirsty.

The group went silent again, everyone truly had no idea and was at least a little freaked out about everything. But the worse was about to happen.

"I got something you should all be considering." Ellen said out of nowhere.

Everyone turned to look at Ellen, who spoke and appeared with no emotion.

"Yes Ellen?" Bridget replied.

Ellen didn't say anything for a few seconds before speaking again. "You're all bigger fools than I thought if no one else is actually thinking about if anyone is already planning a murder."

That definitely broke the ice. Everyone was way more freaked out now.

"No, now way!" Replied Henry.

"Not cool Ellen!" Reacted Sam. "Not cool!"

"Don't say such idiotic things!" Growled Irene.

Ellen didn't even feel anything in her response. "You idiots think you can really trust seventeen strangers you just met not to kill you in this situation?"

"No one would kill!" Added Dane.

"We're all in this together." Insisted Dana.

"Killing others is definitely not a nice thing to do!" Donald said in his Mr. Warn voice.

I started playing with my ponytail, I was starting to get more freaked out with every second.

Ellen turned her head away from the group. "You idiots, I hope you're ready for the first murder."

"Stop it!" Yelled Sapphire.

Ellen just turned around and started walking down the patio stairs, and eventually away from the hotel.

"What a troll." Rory commented.

"Is...Is she right...though?" Miranda asked.

"No way!" Kirsty barked. "We're all gonna work hard to get off this island! No way is anyone committing murder!"

"I wouldn't be so sure there Retail Bitch." Simon said out of nowhere.

Everyone turned to look at Simon, Kirsty and Henry both full on glaring at him.

"Excuse me?!" Demanded Kirsty.

"What did you just say?!" Roared Henry.

"Nothing your small as a tater tot brain could understand, French Fry Faggot." Simon replied.

Irene quickly got up and ran over to Simon, she got real in his face.

"Okay, what the hell is your problem!?" Irene demanded, glaring at Simon.

Simon wasn't fazed at all by how threatening Irene looked. "Not that I care about that cosmetology cunt, she does have a good point. I don't know you people, you don't know me, how can you all be sure everything is going to like a fucking fairytale?"

"Well like Kirsty said, we're all gonna work hard." Answered Raj.

Simon just snickered. "Hey collecting cuck, you think that things won't get harder around here? Whoever is controlling that otter obviously has some kind of plan to initiate the killing game, they will force one of us, most likely multiple of us to kill someone."

"Stop!" Miranda cried, while covering her ears. "Stop saying that!"

"And how do we not know that you're not planning on killing someone right now?" Asked Harvey.

"Stop it Harvey!" I cried.

Simon gave us a small smile. "Looks like there is a bit of a brain inside that steroid infused head of yours, you're absolutely right, you don't know. None of you know who I am, I shouldn't be trusted. However, the same thing applies to the rest of you."

"Enough!" Growled Irene, as she got closer to Simon.

Simon shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever honestly, you guys do whatever the fuck you want, just don't be surprised if the next meeting is missing a someone, and I don't mean the cosmetology cunt or myself not attending."

With that, Simon copied Ellen, and left the hotel patio, leaving all frozen for a bit in confusion.

"So much for team morale." Stated RK.

"This isn't cool, man!" Same exclaimed. "Ellen and Simon have gone whack!"

"We'll definitely have to keep an eye on those two." Replied Gavin. "Allow me to take care of those two!"

"Sit down geek!" Sapphire exclaimed.

"This fighting and hostility." Bridget stated. "Not very artistic."

Irene walked back to the table and took a seat. "Don't let Ellen and Simon get to you guys, those two are obviously anti social or just some kind of outsider, they don't know how to work with a group."

"I got a good prank for them." Smiled Rory.

"Rory!" Dana gave him a disapproving look.

"We should, focus on what we gathered here for." I cut in. "Discussing everything."

"Right." Agreed Irene. "Does anyone have anything else to say?"

No one did, so we all agreed to investigate the island again, even though we had pretty much done that already, but it was all we could do. With the exception of Ellen and Simon, my classmates and I went around the island again, looking for any kind of way off or anything that could tell us about our situation. It was utterly hopeless. Afterwards, it had started to get late, so we all gathered at the hotel patio again to have dinner. Just as Aqua Tail had promised, there was food for us to eat. Some people tried to keep a happy mood going at dinner, but everyone seemed lost in hopelessness.

After dinner, we all agreed to to pick it up tomorrow, and to call it a night. I realized we hadn't picked bathroom buddies, but it was late, and I just wanted to go to bed. I hit the showers, which most people were at as well, and then we all headed for our huts. Using my tablet, I was able to get into my hut. I hopped onto my bed to think.

"This is just...crazy!" I thought to myself. "None of this makes any sense! And are Ellen and Simon right? Will the killing game actually start!?"

Trying to keep those thoughts away, I slowly drifted to sleep.
