The students looked around at each other. How could this possibly happen? All of them knew what this meant they where going have to kill each other they had all seen the programs leading up to the event but surly their had been some dreadful mistake.

"Ok now I'm sure you are all thinking of how this could happen. Well I'll tell you your school gave your names forward for selection and I am glad to tell you that you where selected from the selection pool!" Black smiled.

"Sir?" Dinny called out.

"Yes girl six you would be Dinny Fairfield"

"Where's Mr Thomas?"

"Ah yes your teacher he was most vocal about your selection and he said most unpleasant things about your participation in this game and so we killed him look at his screen." Black picked up a remote and switched on a large monitor their was a picture of Mr Thomas hanging from a beam somewhere very dead.

"You crazy bastard!" shouted Dinny "I swear to God I'll kill you for that!" tears where swelling up in her eyes as she rushed towards Black and the soldiers. Luke and Max tried to dive to stop her but missed. What happened next seemed to go in slow motion. One moment Dinny was running towards Black the next second Black had pulled a hand pistol out of his jacket and fired at Dinny. The shot echoed through the room as Dinny spun around and hit the floor with a sickening thud very dead.

"No!" cried Luke "Dinny!" Max, Richard, Graham and Reggie jumped him and held him down.

"That was unpleasant no else should say anti party things like that you threaten me you threaten the government ok?" Black said coldly.

"You murdered my sister!" cried Luke.

"Listen Fairfield I suggest you shut up unless you want anything bad to happen to someone else" threatened Black.

"Go to hell!" cried Luke.

"I think you need to be taught a lesson Fairfield! The four friends who where doing their best to hold Luke down looked up. Black walked over to a computer and started to type something into it suddenly their was a beeping sound the four friends looked at Luke the beeping was coming from his collar!

"What's happening?" shouted Luke as the four friends let him go.

"Ok I better explain about these collars they are fitted with C4 and if they are activated they will count down and then explode their is no way to stop the count down and don't try to pull it off as they will also explode!" explained Black calmly. The beeping got louder as Luke started to panic.

"Help me!" shouted Luke tears where appearing in his eyes. He started to run over to the group but before he could get their his collar exploded covering Cara in blood Cara shrieked as did the rest of the girls the males stood in shock as Luke's lifeless body fell to the floor.

"Ok anybody else want to fill his shoes?" asked Black. Their was silence. "Ok let me introduce you to four new members of the class boy five Casper Hudson." Casper was black with a scar down his right cheek and a purely blank stare he just stared straight through the class a thin evil smile appeared on his face. "Boy ten Wesley Wiltshire" Wesley was a nerdy looking boy with messing hair and coke bottle glasses he was looking around the class in shock he looked like he was going to be sick. "Girl ten Ellie Macanzine" Ellie was a chav she wore tacky gold sovereign jewellery she looked at Casper and the girl next to her. "Girl twenty Erica Jenson" Erica was built like a tank she looked at Casper and Ellie and then look ahead to towards Black. "Ok I know you are so excited to get going but first I need to explain some rules to you. You are on an island off the west coast of Scotland as you can see on this monitor." A map of the island appeared divided into a grip A1 to A10 and all the way down to J1 to J10. "This is your playground for the next three days use it as how you see fit but at six am, midday, six pm and midnight I will announce that certain parts of the island are danger zones and you can't go in them else your collars will blow. Also at the same time I will announce the names of the dead students. As you can see by the door their is kit bags for you they contain maps, food, water, a watch and a randomly selected weapon guns, knives and then a few surprises or three. Ok then it's time for the game to begin the nation is waiting for your star performances. Oh yes I forgot their is a time limit which is seventy two hours give or take you have till midnight on 24th May to win the game last person standing so when I call your name out collect a kit bag from the top of the pile and leave through that door. Oh the place where you are starting the game will become a danger zone fifteen minutes after the last person leaves the grid so I suggest you make tracks. Ok let's start the game Boy Number One Hudson Adam!"

Adam Hudson looked terrified he staggered towards where the kit bags where picked up a bag and disappeared into the dark.

"Girl one Wainnwright Gemma" Black called out. Gemma walked quickly over to collect her bag and glared at the class. And then vanished. This means that she could be trouble thought Graham. He looked at Max he had his hand on Sarah's shoulder the list continued brutally on.

"Boy five Hudson Casper" called Black as Casper calmly walked over to collect his bag shoving Andrew and Joanna out of the way. Graham looked at Casper. "I swear I will get you for that you bastard!" he exclaimed.

Richard was sat on the floor he hugged Christine as her name was called she kissed him softly goodbye tears where in her eyes when she left. Again the list continued

"Girl seven Patterson Sarah"

Max hugged her and whispered I'll find you ok don't worry I'll be there for you!"

Sarah ran away crying.

Graham walked over to Max.

"If Jo leaves before you try and find her we'll find a way out of this and we'll find Sarah as well."

"Agreed."

"Boy eight Crawford Daniel"

They watched as Daniel ran off in terror.
