James sat quietly on a bench in the castle thinking to himself he had killed seven of his classmates he guessed that a few more had died during the last five hours. He was guessing that the numbers had been reduced to about forty at the minimum. The sun was shinning down on him as he took a bottle of water and drank it down. He looked in Lizzie's bag and took her water and bread and did the same with Rachel's bag. He then started to think about what he would do if he won and had to return home to his parents. He had killed for survival and that is what he would keep going. He touched the collar around his neck he was starting to sweat and the sweat glands which dropped over and under his collar made him itch but he didn't dare do anything more than touch it.

Beth Thomas was sitting by the electric fence on the northern side of the game zone she was reading her assigned weapon which was an extreme survival book she read it closely as it explained how to kill with your bare hand. She was scared and sweat dripped down across her forehead. She wasn't going to win this game she had accepted this when she woke up but she had decided that she wanted to at least try and survive as long as possible she had sat on the eastern past of the game zone and had watched the sun rise in the morning, her older sister Leah was at university being five years older than her and was set to graduate in a couple of months as a trainee doctor. She was in Set B the set which avoided the draft for the first ever Battle Royale GB she had been friends with some of the victims of the game. Leah had been so sad that a lot of her friends had been murdered and had had all their promising lives wiped out in just a few hours She thought that it could of been possible that she may one day could be taken and make her class have to play this evil game. She remembered that when Leah was back for Easter time they had both gone out and Leah had reminded her that even though the chances where unlikely she had to be aware that the party could take her class and make them play the game. She knew that the game would become even more deadly as the game advanced. She looked up as she heard someone approaching her.

Beth looked straight at Chelsea holding her weapon a bow and arrow.

"Chelsea just please leave me alone I never did anything to upset you and I know deep down that you wont hurt me I know that!" pleaded Beth as she stood up tears started to roll down 

her eyes as Chelsea just stood about fifteen meters away from her.

"Oh and why is that why shouldn't I kill you?" said Chelsea evilly as she loaded an arrow into the bow.

"No please!" cried Beth as she slowly stepped back a few paces.

Chelsea fired an arrow straight at Beth it her in the chest Beth flew back and hit the electric fence Beth screamed as the electricity flowed through her body she screamed for the final tie and fell onto the floor dead. Chelsea looked at her smoking body and smiled.

"Shocking behaviour from you Beth your out!" laughed Chelsea as she walked off whistling happily to herself.

Dave, Andy and Scarlett sat down in the wood. Dave had passed them all some jam and margarine which he had stolen from the supermarket.

"Eat this it will be fine the sugar in the jam will help you get going and then we'll have some coffee drink it black with sugar as well. Caffeine keeps you wake and sugar keeps you going."

"What time is it?" asked Scarlett.

Andy looked at his watch. "It's eleven fifty five."

"I hope no one else has died since the first announcement." Said Scarlett hopefully.

"I doubt that." Said Dave sadly. "Trust me Day one is the time when majority of the deaths occur."

"Well Dave how do we get out of this nightmare then?" asked Andy eating his bread and jam.

"It's not that easy and we'll have to wait for the right time but I will tell you this now we'll do it together." Dave said with a slight smile on his face.

Suddenly Beethoven blared over the game zone. It was time for the second announcement.

"Quite and listen for the danger zones" said Dave quickly.
