I'll try for a long chapter today... and somebody's going to die :) Wow... I sound kind of evil.
I'm going to try something new :) I am going to comment on people's reviews... but only for the reviews on the chapter :)
tbsavafob- I'm always wondering who's going to be next too. I don't figure that out until I write the chapter. It makes it a lot more interesting to write. :)
C.H.E.A.R.- You're going to find out if they're alright this chapter :) Sorry for the cliffy, actually no I'm not. Hahaha
ForevermoreNevermore- It does sound a little morbid... haha... At least your not the one who gets to think of ways to kill them :) And thank you!
"Mac, do you have cell service?" Stella asked.
"That's weird. No I don't." He said after taking his phone out.
"Something's not right."
"Maybe it's the fact there was a dead body hanging from the ceiling." A man said, coming towards them. "Jim Brass, LVPD." He said introducing himself.
"I'm Mac Taylor and this is Stella Bonasara, NYPD."
"Hi," Stella said, "I think I met Catherine at the beginning of the trip."
"It's possible."
"Mr. Brass-"
"Jim." He corrected.
"Jim," Mac started, "Do you have cell service?"
He took out his phone and flipped it open, "Nope."
"Hmm…" Mac said as he walked away.
"He does that a lot. Sorry." Stella said as she chased after him. "Mac, where are you going?"
"Eric!" He yelled. "Can I talk to everyone?"
"Uhh, yeah. Go to the podium."
"Thanks," he ran to the podium. "Does anyone have cell service?" The room filled with no's and people shaking their head. "Alright." He went back to Eric and Stella. "I think you two know just as well as I do that this isn't right." The both nodded.
"We need to get everyone back to their bungalows. And each one needs a gun."
"Calleigh and Natalia aren't back yet though. We should wait for them." Stella suggested.
"You two tell everyone to head back to safety. Me and Ryan will wait for them. And stay together." He warned. The two left and soon the room was cleared of everyone except Ryan and Eric.
"Delko, I am so sorry."
"Nah, you didn't do anything."
"I mean about Calleigh, it's gotta be hard."
"She'll come around." He shrugged, "All I've got to do it wait."
Calleigh and Natalia ran their way back through the trees following their footsteps. The breakfast hall finally came into view and they sprinted fast back to safety. They busted through the doors then shared a confused look.
"Calleigh!" Eric exclaimed, running over to her and embracing her tightly. "I was so worried." He looked down at her and kissed her. But something was off. "What's wrong?" He asked after noticing how she didn't kiss him back.
"I don't know if I can follow through with this, Eric."
"Hey, hey, we already discussed that we were going to push it back."
"If we get married, it will just remind me off what happened. I don't know if I can do that." She pulled away with tears streaming down her face.
"Can we just talk about-"
"No, I'm sending everyone back to Miami tomorrow, before someone else gets hurt."
"How do you plan on doing that when there is no service on the island?"
She thought for a second, "There had got to be a phone here somewhere and I will search for it."
"Why does this feel awkward to me?" Ryan said lying in bed.
"Maybe it's because we're both guys sharing a bed?" Eric suggested. Calleigh had insisted on staying with Natalia for the night. "I haven't had a sleepover since I was ten."
"Not with a guy, but you've had plenty with women." Ryan chuckled.
"Not funny. There is only one person that I want in this bed and I guarantee that it is not you."
"Eric Delko I feel offended."
"Yeah you should."
"Calleigh is not going to just drop you like that." He snapped his fingers, "I bet you will be back together tomorrow morning."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that."
"You are so pessimistic." Ryan said, "You need to be more like me. I'm optimistic and look where it's gotten me."
"Oh yeah, I totally want a dead lover."
"Natalia's not dead," Ryan said confused.
"What did you just say? Wolfe, it's only been a couple of days and you've already moved on?"
"Stick a cork in it, Delko, I'm trying to sleep."
"You weren't two minutes ago." Eric muttered but the room fell silent and soon the two were fast asleep.
When Calleigh awoke the next morning, Natalia was already ready to go.
"You're up early,"
"Yup, I'm going to go look for a phone so we can get out of here."
"Not by yourself," Calleigh said.
"No, I met that woman named Catherine yesterday. She said she'd look for one with me. She's on her way over now."
"Is anyone with her?"
"Nope."
"The killer is picking off people that are alone like sitting ducks! How could she be so stupid?"
"Calleigh, she's got a gun. She'll be fine."
"Jim, you get the bungalow to yourself this morning."
"Halleluiah!" He exclaimed, "Where are you headed?"
"To help Natalia find a phone."
"Be careful. I don't want to go back to Las Vegas with a dead body as one of my checked luggage."
She laughed, "Alright Jim." Then she left and followed the path that led her to Natalia and Calleigh. She could see the bungalow when someone came from behind her and stuck a plastic bag over her head. She screamed hoping to get someones attention but the strength of the person's hands tightend the hold on her. She soon fell to the ground as darkness surrounded her.
Natalia was the first to hear the scream and she rushed out the door, only to find Catherine laying lifeless. She knew she had to protect Calleigh and herself, but she couldn't just leave Catherine laying there. Something moved in the trees so she ran, and fast, back to the bungalow.
By the time she got back, Calleigh was out of the shower. "Nat, where were you?"
"Catherine is dead outside the bungalow. I heard her scream, but when I got there it was too late." She was now crying.
"Alright, let's go check it out." They left and Natalia led Calleigh to the spot that she had found Catherine lying. Only there was no body.
"I don't get it. Where'd she go? She was here five minutes ago."
"We need to get everyone on the island together." Natalia nodded as they headed to each bungalow sending everyone back to the breakfast hall.
"Cal, I think that's everyone."
"Ryan and Eric. We didn't get them." They knocked on the door to the bungalow and Eric answered.
"Hey... uh... is everything alright?"
"I found Catherine dead, but her body wasn't there when me and Calleigh went back."
"What did you do?"
"We sent everyone to the breakfast hall so they would be together."
Eric nodded, "We need to head over there."

Bye- bye Catherine... hahaha :)
So who do you think the killer is? And who do you want the next victim to be? And how did I do?
I won't be able to update this weekend, which I'm sorry about. :( I've got a soccer tournament, which also sucks because Western Washington has decided to have a heat wave, and its supposed to hit 100 today. :) But playing soccer in that weather is going to suck.
Anyways, do not hesitate to review, all comments or questions are welcome :)
