Samantha Wicks was hiding near the small lighthouse she was terrified the morning sun was shining on her but nothing could stop her being terrified. Her assigned weapon was a frizzbe and she knew as soon as she had seen her weapon any chance of her surviving this game where gone. She missed her mum and dad she just hoped that they weren't watching. Sure their family did watch the program but as she was on it she hoped they wouldn't be watching the program. She looked at her blazer she had a badge of Wax Factory her favourite rock band her dyed red hair blew softly in the wind as she looked around she looked over the sea she had marked down the danger zones she was in H3 close enough to two danger zones but far enough away she thought that she should hide somewhere safe. The lighthouse was deserted but a fully automated so there was hardly any room in it and it meant a one way trap she thought. She took a deep breath and ran towards the lifeboat station which was about two hundred yards away.

"Yes I'm safe" she sighed as she pulled herself into the lighthouse station threw a slightly opened window. Suddenly she thought why would the window be open? Then she panicked had she just walked into a trap?

She looked around and was worried the silence was creepy she looked around and sighed.

"Hi Samantha" said a soft female voice behind her. Samantha spun around it was Alexandra Polanski she was holding a double barrel shot gun. "Am I glad to see you I've been so scared!" she cried as she fell to her knees.

"Alex!" she smiled and ran to hug her. They where good friends they had lived next door to each other for about a year and they always walked to school together. Samantha knew that she would be safe.

Alex was muttering something in Polish and she stood up.

"So what do we do then?" asked Alex as she looked around and then closed the window.

"We'll wait here and hide until this zone becomes a danger zone or we have to leave ok?" smiled Samantha.

Alex nodded that sounded like a plan. She felt a lot safer now she had someone with her.



"Sandra? Come on lets have a look what's up here!" smiled Paul as he held her hand they had entered B7 and sat down. This was going to be there final time tighter and had decided to make it special. Paul had in the heat of the moment asked her to marry him and she had accepted they had sat down and wrote some vows and said them to each other so they where unofficially married but it was good enough for them. Paul had placed his kit bag on a log and left it in C7 which had a camp site in it. The two held hands as they just watched some birds sing they felt at ease with themselves. Paul smiled at Sandra and they kissed each other. Sandra looked at Paul and smiled.

"Hey you remember how we started to see each other?" asked Sandra.

Paul nodded and remembered. It was Christmas holidays 2009 when they started seeing each other they had both gone shopping and they where getting each others families presents. Sandra had been struggling with her shopping and had seen something for her mum and had seen a vase she wanted to get her when someone picked up the vase she had wanted. It was Paul he smiled at her.

"Hay" he smiled at her and handed her the vase. "Yours I believe." Sandra smiled at him and blushed.

"It's yours you saw it first" he said sweetly. "Hey do you want a hand with your shopping?" he asked. "Hey it's freezing out there do you want to get a hot chocolate or something?" he asked hopefully. Sandra nodded. They had started to see each other a few days after that. Paul was such a kind boyfriend to her she knew he had slept with Chelsea after a concert Paul's band had given during the summer before but she knew that Chelsea was a slag and meant nothing to him. She held his hand as they both snapped back to reality. She looked around and then at her watch which she had been supplied in her kit bag. It read 06.57 a tear formed in her eye. Ever since they had met up Paul had an idea they would die together she had begged Paul to play the game and play to win she couldn't bare to see Paul get killed but he had only smiled at her and then said no they would die together. He held her hand. He looked at his watch 06.58. He took a deep breath and held her close to 06.59. The collars started to beep!

"Paul I'm scared!" cried Sandra as eh held her close to him.



"Don't worry Sandra I'm here I will always be with you" Paul reassured her.

07.00 Bang the collars detonated Paul and Sandra heard the detonation and then nothing just blackness.

Miss Hall watched in the control room as Max walked into the control room.

"How touching foolish but touching" Max exclaimed as he saw Paul and Sandra's bodies fall to the ground. "We had similar fools in our game thinking they could somehow survive the game fools. Oh that makes three dead within an hour good. Oh Miss Hall my brother did he object to the game?"

"Yes sir he objected and made very anti government statements" Miss Hall reported standing to attention.

"Very well I always thought of him as a coward the second I had heard that they had been picked I left Japan and headed home."

"Was that true about the breaking news from last night Shuuya Nanahara and Noriko Nakagawa captured in America and brought back to Japan?"

"Oh yes captured and brought home to face justice from their government for daring to escape the program. I was rewarded was five billion credits so I am rich beyond belief it's all about money sweetheart surly you know that you're the current champion with the most kills nineteen dead by your hand well done and a very cosy job."

"Hey look at that we may have a confrontation happening here!" Miss Hall smiled looking back at the computer monitor.

She was right Caroline had trapped Joey Caulfield in a graveyard.
