Andy had hidden in behind a small wall and he had waited till Scarlett had left the hospital they had run for all there worth down a wooded road then along a main street past many shops and a railway station. They had turned right and ran across a bridge and then towards the sea front. This journey had taken them over thirty minutes and they where completely out of breath when they had reached a building along the sea front which had been used for conferences and such things. Andy nearly collapsed as they managed to find a way into the building and they both sat in the darkness.

"You ok?" asked Scarlett to Andy.

"Yeah I'm fine" huffed Andy as he sat down trying to get his breath back. Andy looked in his bag he had got a meat cleaver as his weapon. Scarlett looked at her weapon which was a Bo staff.

"What the hell is this?" asked Scarlett as she examined the staff.

"It's a Bo Staff it a marital arts weapon" explained Andy as he looked at her. "Scarlett is glad you came with me"

"I am glad too I can't believe that Daniel and Alice are dead already" sobbed Scarlett.

"Well it nearly three so we'll stay here till it gets light and then we will make a move ok?" suggested Andy.

"Where to?" asked Scarlett.

"Well we are here E8 so we'll head to F7 there seems to be some shelter there in a small wood on top of the hill ok? We'll leave for there in an hour or so. If we keep moving there will be less chance of us being discovered." Smiled Andy reassuringly.

"Andy do you think that any of the others are playing to?" asked Scarlett sounding worried.

"I hope not!" replied Andy as he took a drink of water out of his water bottle. "I hope not."

James Walker was lost he had run off from the hospital and had got lost in a maze of streets in C3 he was sweating with terror he wanted to find Carl his best friend he was sure that he wouldn't be playing. There where houses all around him and 

he looked around. He thought it would be a good idea to hide so he scrambled over a garden gate and looked around there was a shed and a green house. The garden from what he could see was over grown as the pervious owners of the house had been relocated over six months ago.

James forced of shed door open and he hid in the shed under a table. He turned on his torch and looked in his bag for his weapon. It was an Uzi 9mm that made him feel a lot better as he knew that at least he could defend himself. He looked around and gasped as the door swung open!

James was paralyzed with fear as the door opened but no one was there! Must of been the wind he thought to himself as he slowly crawled over to the door and was just about to close it. He looked up and saw James Fairfield suddenly something bright glistened in the moonlight

James Walker tried scream as James Fairfield stabbed his hunting knife straight through his neck! Blood erupted out of the wound as Fairfield pulled the knife back out of the wound. Walker looked at Fairfield in horror then crashed to the ground blood covered the shed and the shed floor.

James Fairfield walked into the hut and looked at Walker's kit bag and saw the Uzi.

"Good boy Walker hey well I think that this deserves a more fitting owner one who is going to win. Oh Walker piece of advice make less noise when you break in somewhere. Now that's two down."

James looked around he didn't feel bad about killing his friends as he knew that there was only going to be one winner.

He started to remember the day five years ago. He was ill that day when the government officials had told his parents about Luke and Dinny's participation in the first ever game. He was in his room but he could hear his mum crying after they had left. His dad stood silently putting his hand on her shoulder then he went to speak to James.

He remembered the conversation.

"Son your brother and sister have been chosen to play a game an evil game but rules are rules for us. I just hope that they don't suffer.2



Then came the news delivered a program update at six am day one. First elimination Dinny, Second Luke then had come the aftermath of the game the after shows had shown Luke and Dinny's bodies being loaded into body bags and then came the funerals thirty seven of them for the school. He had now knew that his parents had gone through this hell again and he would return home to them and then make peace with the death of his brother and sister play to win.

Mario Baggio had hidden in the town centre in an alley way in grid D6 he was terrified as he hid behind some bins. He was shaking as he looked around. Mario was a loner and he preferred it that way. Keep away from the crowd and no one notices you good idea he thought to himself.

Something dripped on his head. He looked up it was blood dripping down on him he looked up and saw Tara Fitzpatrick lying dead on a fire escape with an arrow in her mouth! Mario looked around in horror he then saw Hannah Kidman lying dead on a step with an arrow in her back. Mario stood up and started to run. Chelsea emerged out of a side alley.

"Please Chelsea no don't!" cried out Mario, seeing Chelsea get an arrow and load it into her bow. The arrow flew out and hit Mario straight threw the heart Mario collapsed into the road dead.

Chelsea had made her mind up to play the game when she left her assigned weapon was a pair of boxing gloves but she had told her two flunkies to meet her close by they had headed into town where Chelsea had attacked both of them and stolen their weapons and murdered them without mercy. She looked at Mario.

"Silly boy a girl like me will win this as I am a star in the making and a star like me will always win!" she smirked. "Girls thanks for the memories but I'll Take it from here!" she laughed.

In the control room a solider looked at a screen.

"Miss Hall boy number nine had just been eliminated!" he said excitedly.

"Really that makes fourteen dead so far in three hours we could be on for a new record! Excellent!
