"Jesus Christ" Matthew muttered under his breath as he looked at his watch it had just turned 19.00.
Laura was sitting on the bed sobbing. She had been good friends with Lucy Edwards all of her life. They had always known each other and when the government had taken Kelly to play the first game of Battle Royale, Lucy had come around straight away and hugged her and told her to be brave. Laura had felt so bad that she hadn't found Lucy and then she would still be alive.
Matthew was feeling bad too about Sam Huston's death. He knew that Sam wouldn't hurt a fly and he must have been terrified being all-alone in the game. He guessed that no one would have helped him as it would of meant a certain death as Sam couldn't run and if it came down to a fire fight or a head to head confrontation he would either have no chance or if was armed he would never survived as from what Matthew had known Sam wouldn't hurt a fly and even though this game ran on fear there where still some who would never play. Matthew began to think about something his plan was hinging on the fact that they didn't run into anyone if they did and they where hostile, Matthew was armed but killing a classmate? That was nearly unthinkable but he knew that his classmates where playing the game and they would have no trouble on killing on sight he thought that the bad kids Bradley and Chelsea would of played but he was still in shock about Caroline and James. Two good friends of his would now try and kill him on sight. This was depressing he thought. He began to think about the twenty-eight who where dead. All their faces drifted by him. He began to think about his plan again thus would have to work as he was going to save the rest.
In the lifeboat station Samantha Wicks was sitting on a desk while Alexandra was asleep on the bed. Samantha was so glad that Alexandra was here and they would look out for each other. Both of them had heard nearby gunshots and the announcements had made them even more scared. But the main thing was they where still alive but if the zone went to a danger zone they would have to leave, or it became to dangerous to stay around here they would leave. The good things about where they had a lot of cover if they had to leave across the road were a lot of tall buildings with a lot of alleys. But that could be a bad thing as well someone could pop them off in an alley or from a building. But they had no reason to think like this until the situation changed. So far they had done what was required survival but the two girls had made a pact stay tighter until the end.
Alexandra was dreaming she kept thinking about the tiny village in Poland where she had lived it was in the country and was beautiful she had friends there who maybe would be hoping that she would survive. It was a weird dream she kept hearing voices in her head. But the voices didn't make sense the nightmare continued Alexandra wanted to wake up screaming which she did. Samantha jumped as Alexandra woke up crying, Samantha hugged her.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I just had the most terrible dream," cried Alexandra. "It seemed so real."
"Nightmares are like that." Reassured Samantha. "I don't know this is true but when you dream the brain is sorting out the good from the bad the bad gets filed away but occasionally the bad files get overfilled and that's when you have a nightmare."
Alexandra nodded that sounded true she had heard something similar before. She touched the collar around her neck. It itched as it was metal and it was still quite hot so it had left a rash. But she knew much better than to try and yank it off. It was crazy the game had been going on for over nineteen hours and all Alexandra was to wake up in her bed screaming as if this was a bad dream, but it wasn't. The nightmare was real and they would have to face it tighter. Alexandra began to think that other people weren't going to play either.
"Maybe we should try and find some of the others?" suggested Alexandra as she stood up.
"Possibly but if we do that it has got to be dark and we have to be very careful about where we go and how we make the moves. We can't just run and hope for the best there are some people who are playing and they will kill on sight.
She looked at her watch it was nearly 20.00
