Dave sat down and looked at Andy and Scarlett. He looked sad as looked at them.
"Ok I'll tell you what happened to me then."
"About what happened to you last year?" asked Scarlett.
"Yeah" replied Dave he sat crossed legged on the ground.
"Well as you know I am from Cornwall my school Turo High School Year 13 Set B where picked last year at the end of season four. Yeah they can be sneaky bastards on how they get you school trips exams as we had and the way they got us was in a Party Lecture so there was forty of us in the year and my girlfriends was also in the year. We got joined by two convicts who where seriously up for the game. Anyway my girlfriend Helen Proctor was the first girl out into the game zone I was fifteenth out. By that time I found two of my class dead. Someone was playing I was armed with a pistol and I was so scared. We played on Game Zone Omega which was a purpose built area in the Irish sea a massive rig in the middle of sea I think it was about three or miles each way. Fear had taken over all ready I found one of the convicts dead next with a sword impaled through her chest there was defiantly up for the game. I got shot at by one of my classmates I don't know what happened to me then I fired back and God help me I killed her. The fear took over and I played anyone I encountered I killed friends who I had known all my life I killed without mercy or hesitation. The first announcement went through nine dead. But not Helen she was still alive. That was good all I could think of was protecting her. If I eliminated the competition Helen would still be alive and then I could save her. The second announcement came and went. We where down to twenty students by then. The game was moving fast Again Helen was still alive. I got attacked by the other convict a couple of hours later and I managed to throw him over the side of the rig in the rules of the game you go over side automatic collar detonation. The third announcement came down to nine then it happened a massive fire fight six of classmates all got into the fight all six dead down to three Helen, Kevin and me. Then I found Kevin's body still a fresh kill. It dawned on me she was playing. She was waiting for me she was armed to the teeth. An Uzi, grenades, a flame thrower and a fucking riot gun. We where on the helicopter pad when she attacked me she fired the riot gun at me first and the blast blew me back. Reasoning with her was impossible survival took over with me. I fired one shot and it hit her straight in the head. As soon as she fell I ran over to her I held her close to me she was already dead. Then came the victory part. The current champion and the winner of fastest game ever recorded. I got put in front of the press and made to smile. They tell you got to smile! Sick bastards I was injured quite badly and spent three months in hospital. I had to repeat the year and I get the school which get chosen. Fucking great and also I was told to shut up about my win that's why I never spoke to anyone. If you want to know a secret the head of year won the second battle royale. She the current kill champion. Nice school that got picked for me."
"Dave I'm so sorry" cried Scarlett she had tears in her eyes.
"We'll beat this game" said Andy with a lot of hope in his voice.
"We will and I will rip them apart for putting all of us in this situation. Even the ones who are playing we'll make it for everybody all of us."
Suddenly the peace was interrupted by classical music. Requiem Prologue it was time for the 6pm announcement.
