Sarah Petil moaned and winged as she rushed through the abandoned house. Madison had pointed it out the map earlier when they gathered together outside of the school. May was sat in her chair, her small gun on the table in front of her.
"For fucksake!" screamed Sarah, slamming the wall with her hand.
"There isn't going to be any bloody tampons in here Sarah." said Madison, folding her arms and sighing. Sarah glared at Madison and punched her arm and fell back into the hallway, crying hard.
"Why did I have to start today?!" screamed Sarah. May gritted her teeth and glanced out of the house windows.
"Look Sarah, you need to be quiet okay? Somebody could be outside." whispered May, picking up her gun. Sarah glanced at her weapon then at May and gave her a bitchy look.
"Fuck off!" she spat, burying her head in her hands, crying heavily. Madison held her bruised arm and knelt beside her, protecting her from harm. Sarah leaned her head on Madison's shoulder and clutched her bag tensely.
May however, was lost in thought. Her brother was out there somewhere on the island. She hadn't spoken to him in years, she regrets it now.
If we had stuck together, we would be with each other now, thought May, tapping the table with her fingers, memories of Alex and her playing on the school fields. The humid air made it hard for her to breathe in the house, it was deep in the Summer and it seemed hotter than usual this year.
Sarah looked up at May and growled to herself, annoyed that she wasn't at her side, thinking about her.
"What about me!" Sarah said through broken chords of tears. May glanced at Sarah and sighed. She no longer wished to be a floating goddess. Death was coming to them, she knew it and she would rather spend her remaining days with Alex Yagami, her brother.
"What about you?" May said cockily, jerking her head a little. Sarah widened her eyes with anger and reached into her bag. She could feel a rectangular plastic box, she pulled it out and stared at it. Two metal sticks stuck out the end. A small on button flashed, Sarah pressed it and she heard electric through her new weapon. It was a stunner. Sarah bit her lip and grinned. Madison seemed worried whether she was going to use it or not, she moved back a little but Sarah slapped her hand on Madison's wrist and pulled her close.
"You're not going anywhere." she said, pulling them both up. Sarah dragged Madison with her to May's table and glared at her viciously. Her teeth gritted, her cold blue eyes eyeing May up and down.
"You know, you're just a little fake aren't you bitch?" Sarah spat, smiling evilly at May who seemed oblivious to Sarah's threat, she was un-aware of the stunner in Sarahs hand. She merely glanced up with a don't-give-a-fuck expression which angered Sarah even more.
"You envied me, you wanted to be just like me when you were a little geek hanging out with your brother, didn't you. I bet you had fantasies over me you sick twisted whore. You should thank me for everything I have done for you!" Sarah shouted, spit spraying from her mouth. May laughed to herself as she rubbed her forehead.
"There are more important people I have to see now Sarah, you are not important to me. I have come to realise you are nothing but a fake, you are nothing without your friends so maybe you should think what I have done for you." said May in a calm tone, her hand still on her gun. Sarah scowled at May.
"Shut up! You know what, I don't care, you can fuck off out of here, go look for your brother but it'll be a waste. Don't come running back to me when you see your brother, Alex, dead!" laughed Sarah, raising her stunner a little. A plan forming in her mind.
May said no more. She stood out of her seat and carried her gun off the table towards the door, her bag still around her shoulder. As she placed her hand on the doorknob, Sarah opened her mouth and cackled, raised the stunner and began to shoot forward. May ducked low instantly, dodging the electricity and aimed her gun straight at Sarah's head. Without hesitation, Sarah grabbed a trembling Madison and placed her in front of her body as a human shield. May had pulled the trigger and shot, it was too late,
BANG!
The bullet pierced straight into Madison's heart, sending her into an etneral sleep instantly. May stood back in horror, not believing what she had done. Madison was always kind to her, she was closer to Madison than she was to most of her friends. A pool of blood ran along the floor to the tips of May's feet and that was her cue to go. Sarah looked amused and satisfied with what just happened. May turned her back and pushed open the door but before it started to close, she felt a harsh jolt through her back and she fell to the floor flat, paralyzed.
Damnit, that bitch! May thought, trying to move her body as she heard Sarahs footsteps thundering over to her. Sarah grabbed Mays hair and hauled her back into the house, pulling her along by her hair. The door slammed shut.
"You're staying with me May, you're not going anywhere. You're going to be my human shield. If you disagree, I'll blow your brains out." hissed Sarah, snatching the gun from May's hand. May tried to talk but she was completely immobilized. She felt a harsh thud on her head and she was immersed in darkness, a footprint printed on the side of her face. May had been knocked unconscious.
As silence filled the air, Sarah began to hear rustling outside. Her heart leapt forward as she knelt low. The clock ticking noisily, she glanced at the time.
1:30am, it read. There was still a long time for the game to go on.
The rustling got louder, her fingers gripping the gun tightly in her fingertips. She should of known the abandoned house would be an attractive spot to most students.
Fuck, why did I pick here? She whined in her mind, sweating dripping into her torn floral dress, her feet and legs bare.
Suddenly, voices sounded outside of the house and the ruslting stopped. Sarah pushed herself up a little to look out the kitchen window, she could see four people standing outside, the top of their heads only visible.
Shit, who are they? Please don't come in here, please don't…
"The lights are off, we should go in." said a familiar voice.
"Danny?" whispered Sarah to herself, her body fully hidden behind the table now. The dead body of Madison and the stunned one of May both in full view of the front glass foor. She cursed to herself, they were going to see them and come in. Sarah had buried herself in a closed casket.
One of them stepped forward and stood outside the door, trying to peak through.
"There are two bodies on the floor." said Will Senate, bashing the door down, his silencer 15mm Sword gun raised. Sarah jumped and clasped her hands over her mouth, keeping utterly silent.
What do I do? Shall I shoot? No. Wait, they are playing this game too, I need to. I need to live… thought Sarah frantically to herself.
"Holy shit," came another voice, it was a girls voice. It was Yazmin's voice. That was the last straw. Sarah jumped up and shot for Yazmin, but she missed by inches. Yazmin seemed stricken back and she ducked low and pulled out her weapon, a long shining samurai sword with engravings on the blade. Sarah shot again and screamed, tears streaming down her face. Will had raised his gun, ready to aim but Yazmin raised her hand as she moved side to side quickly in front of Sarah, making it hard for her to aim.
"Bitch, just die!" screamed Sarah, shooting again and this time it skimmed the surface of Yazmin's shoulder. She groaned in pain, spun her katana and swirled the edge straight into Sarah's heart. Everybody froze in the room. Will was stunned, they had a little killer in the group. How did Yazmin know to how to dodge Sarah's aim? Victoria and Danny ran to the door and stopped dead, their faces dropping as the horrific vision of Yazmin's blade splurted blood from Sarah's chest.
Sarah gazed forward, her eyes empty and then she looked at Yazmin, she eyes full of hatred and anger but she couldn't move, the pain had stunned her just like she had stunned May. Yazmin's face was hidden in the shadows and hair but a malicious, blood-thirsty grin ladened her expression for a brief moment. As she pulled out her sword, Sarah gargled on her own blood and fell to the floor dead. A pool of blood forming around Yazmin's bare feet. She stood back and flicked her katana, the blood dripping off. Will didn't know whether to be scared or proud, she had just saved them from death, but Yazmin's kill was so expertly done, he didn't know what she was capable of now. Victoria stepped in and said nothing, she knew that Yazmin didn't want to be question about it, they were like sisters and they knew when not to talk to each other and when to. She knelt beside Madison and looked for a pulse but there was none. As she moved over to May, Will walked over to Yazmin who was still staring at Sarah. She had never felt such a buzz to kill before, such revenge. Will placed his hands on her shoulders and rubbed his thumb gently for comfort. He tried to see Yazmin's expression but part of her face was hidden. Will moved his face close to hers and slowly kissed her cheek, his hat still shadowing his eyes. A smile formed across Yazmin's face, she looked at him and grabbed his hand, both of them frozen in a moment of happiness, their eyes connecting like never before. She made all his worries disapear for those short moments.
"Guys, this one is alive!" shouted Victoria, turning May onto her front. May was perfectly conscious but she still couldn't move.
"May?" questioned Yazmin as she moved passed Will to May on the floor.
"We should take her in yeah?" said Yazmin, pointing to the hallway, "Take her to one of the bedrooms, somebody should watch over her until she awakes."
Victoria nodded and took her out of the room over her shoulder. Danny stepped in fully and smiled seductively at Yazmin, she had just shown him a dirty side and he liked it, but of course he wasn't going to act on it just yet.
"Who knows what side she will be on when she wakes eh?" said Danny, putting a cigarette into his mouth again, lighting it up and casually taking a drag. Will watched Danny carefully and moved over to Yazmin, putting an arm around her. Yazmin looked away from Danny and around the room, looking for a phone.
"There should be a phone in here guys, look for one?" Yazmin said, starting to wander around the kitchen. As she did so, Danny and Will just stood and watch her, this moment of tension between them, both of them watching her intently. They never knew she could be sane, taking a leader position and killing Sarah Petil, saving them from death.
It enticed them greatly.
