Chapter 22

Day 6 -Evening

Zeke sat on the edge of the river, watching it flow away. He was extremely bored. "Why did I come here?" he thought. The most fun he had had at the river was when Sharpay came. But that was days ago. Or atleast it felt that way/ That's when he made is decision. He stood up. "I'm going back" he said aloud to that invisible person listening. Then he realized the sun was going down, "Tomorrow!" he plopped himself back down.

It was now dark out, and everyone was getting ready for bed. Troy had offered Trent an extra T-shirt he had for him to sleep in, but he refused. He now was sitting on a log by the fire, throwing twigs in every once in awhile. Kelsi, who was the last one to get ready, emerged from the woods, holding a flashlight and the clothes she had on that day. She was now in a plain read T-shirt and East High sweat pants. She stopped by the fire.

"Are you sleeping outside?" she asked curiously.

"Maybe. I don't know the guys well enough to share a tent with them."

"Are you sure? They're all nice. Mostly."

He stifled a laugh, "I'm fine," he threw another twig into the fire.

"Ok. Night."

"Night."

Kelsi walked into the girls tent.

Trent stayed at the fire pit for a long time, just watching in. Then, when he knew everyone was asleep, he picked up his knife. He slowly crept into the girls tent, and was leaning over Sharpay. Then a memory came flooding through his head, and he swore he heard someone yell, "Put your hands up!"

He dropped the knife by Sharpay's side and darted out of the tent, and by the fire. He layed on the ground, breathing deeply, before falling asleep to a nightmare.

Everyone awoke to a blood piercing scream form no one other than Sharpay.

"What is it?" Taylor half asked half mumbled, putting her pillow over her ear.

"There's a knife on my sleeping bag!" she shrieked.

This got everyone up, "What?!"they said at once.

"See for yourself," she said. There it was. Laying right where Sharpay said.

"It looks familiar,"Kelsi thought, but she didn't say it out loud.

Troy had no poked his head into the tent, "What's going on? Is everyone ok?"

"Were fine but there's a knife in here!" Sharpay shouted.

"Was it there before?" Chad asked, who was now standing behind Troy.

"Yes Chad, Sharpay was screaming at a knife she put there herself."

"Just asking!" he cried.

Kelsi picked up the knife and looked at it again. I'll be right back. She took the knife and went outside.

While everyone else was in the girls tent trying to figure out what happen, Trent was still asleep on the ground.

Kelsi shook him awake, "What did you do!" she whisper-shouted!

Eyes still closed he yelled, "I'm innocent, I'm innocent!" Then he woke up, 'Huh?"

"This was in the girls tent!" Kelsi showed him the knife, "I know it's yours, It's the same on you used to kill that squirrel. Is something wrong?"

Trent stood up, "Can I trust you?" he whispered.

"Yeah. I don't tell secrets."

"Come with me." He grabbed the knife out of her hands and gestured her to walk with him down the beach.

Once he was sure they were a safe distance from camp, he sopped and sat down. Kelsi sat down next to him. "What is it?" she asked worriedly.

"Look. You seem like a person I can trust, so I need to talk to you."

"Shoot."

"Well first off, I lied. I haven't been here for 20 years. It's only been about 11 months. And I've been alone the entire time."

"Then how'd you get here?'

"This is the part you can't tell anybody. At least not yet. I'm a prisoner. Two years ago, I was arrested for murder. They through me in jail, but I still had this urge to kill. I tried to stop myself, I really tried, but I ended up killing someone who was in jail, too."

Kelsi started scooting away from him, her heart racing, "Why would you kill an innocent person?" she asked, trembling.

"I don't even know. But I think it has to do with my childhood. I guess you could say I lived in a bad part of town. I was 10 years old. My Dad had died with cancer the year before. So I was alone with my mom. We were watching TV late one night, when we heard a window crash. My mom told me to go up in my room and lock all the doors, so I did. All I remember is hearing screams, and things being broken. And then silence. I fell asleep. The next morning I woke up to fing my mom on the floor, dead. Ever since, I've been getting mad rages, and eventually they got so bad that I was hurting people. And I can't control it." A tear rolled down his cheek, and he sniffled.

"But I still don't get how you got here."

"Well that on person I killed turned into five. They said I was to dangerous to even be in jail. They dropped me on this island with food and water and said they'd be back in a year. I managed to find a knife in a first aid kit I grabbed from the back."

"So when you found me and Jason, you really were going to kill us."

"But I stopped myself. I thought, why should I kill innocent people and make the ones who love them feel the same way I did after I lost my mom. That's what got me through. But then the rage came back, and I couldn't stop myself. It's like a force takes over my body, and I can't control it. And I hate living with the guilt."

It was silent for awhile, but then Kelsi said, "But look. You obviously getting better. You stopped yourself twice now. Soon, it probably won't even happen anymore.

Trent had now stopped crying, "I wish I could believe that."

Kelsi got up, and walked back to camp.
