Now it's time to see what will happen to our group of kids now! I know...I update super fast! But I can't help it! I'm too into this story right now! hahaha


Sunday: June 2nd, 2010 – 10:10 A.M. (Deserted Island: Hilltops)

Beck's POV

Damn! Katniss is right! Absolutely right!

"C'mon you guys-" Moze continued to shout in happiness. "Meet us! Meet us at the platform on the north mountains! Marked C7 on your maps! C'mon you guys! We can fight this!"

I struggle and try to pry Katniss' fingers off of my sleeve in desperation. "Explain to me how this any better than playing…how? How Ms. Everdeen who thinks she know it all?" I hiss at her after clashing away from her. I could see that I struck a raw nerve by the look on her face and see her begin to compose herself once again.

"Look, Beck…I've been in similar situations and laying low is our best option. Besides, anyone can join us. Anyone, but drawing attention to ourselves…hmph! Now that's where I draw the line."

"Line?" I laugh at the irony. What line is she talking about? People are killing each other in broad daylight and she's talking about this like there are limits. Bull! "They need our help! I don't know about you but I'm-" I hear Katniss stomp her boot into the soft ground with rage.

"Your gonna do what? Leave Tori behind…bold move. Listen if I were you…I'd think twice before making such asinine decisions." Bam! She gets me like a bullet out of a gun and into my chest. Damn, she has a valid point. If I leave Tori all alone…then what? If Katniss wasn't there to stop me, what would have happened? Would Tori be dead right now…would I be dead right now? It scares me now that I think about it.

I collapse to the ground in defeat and pound my fist into the ground with frustration. "We don't have to play!" Suzie now had hold of the megaphone and had an optimistic feel to her voice.

"Look, you have a big heart Beck…but, your head needs to be screwed on a little bit tighter if you ask me," Katniss eases the tension by letting out an amused laugh. Tori is still hugging her knees, trying to stay out of our horrible argument as the two girls from above continue to shout with hope.

"We can find another way out!"

"Yeah! Suzie's correct as can be! Killing and violence is never the answer! Never!"

I feel my heartbeat return to normal and gain the strength to get onto my knees. "But…we can't just leave them as bait…Katniss…" I say about to break into tears. This game was bringing all the emotions out of me like a bipolar jack-in-the-box. One minute I'm completely fine…the next everything just comes out, just like that.

"I've got some tricks hidden under my sleeve," Katniss smirks mischievously. The shotgun she previously used was sitting quietly against a fruit tree until she went forward, grabbing it quickly. "We don't have to do all the work you know."

With that, she pointed it up into the air and fired. The shot rings through my ear like a sonar scream and I can't hear any thing. I look over and see Katniss cover her ears mouthing 'That should have done it'. I smile in response at her quick thinking and scurry over to Tori who had her hands clasped over her ears for dear life. Her eyes were shut tight, but the ringing was finally subsiding…hopefully my ears won't get screwed up from all this…

"Stop it!" Moze shrieks. The megaphone shot out a scream of feedback after hitting the floor from when the girl ducked to the ground of the platform.

"Damn! Take a hint would you Mosely! That was a gunshot! Get the hell out!" Katniss cried at the top of her lungs which kind off pisses me off. Here she is telling me to not yell…whatever.

C'mon Moze…C'mon Suzie. Run. Get out of there now…

"Stop! Stop shooting! Please just listen!" Suzie cries hysterically with a shaky voice. It didn't work! They won't listen.

"Katniss! Fire again! Hurry! Fire again!" I'm getting way too fired up. Who cares…my friends' lives are at stake!

"What did I say about ye-"

"Just shut up and fire!" Tori wails in impatience causing a smile to break out on my face. You go Tori…you feisty thing. Katniss shoots a murderous glare before firing a second time. With our ears covered in preparation, we nod signaling her to shoot.

"Please! You don't want to do this…please it's not the right choice. Hear us out!"

Suddenly Katniss lowered the gun without making the fatal shot to the skies and shook her head. "I can't. It's suicide," she grumbled, sinking into the tall grass. "One shot…that's fine but two…that's way too risky you guys."

"We can find a better way! We're all family!" the voices called from the platform.

Moze…Suzie…

"Hey Beck!" Moze called from the hallway after Spanish. I turned around to give her a warm smile of acknowledgment.

"What's up Jenny," I say with a chuckle but stop once I see the anger on her face.

"I hate that! I told you call me Moze…call me Moze okay?"

"Okay."

It was back in the sixth grade when I first got to know her and man…was she a handful.

"Yeah! One down. Twenty to go!" she howls from the opposing side of the gym. "C'mon boys. Give me all that you've got."

Everyone feared her in dodgeball…she was a complete monster but then…

"Hey…I think I'm gonna change," she says with a sparkle in her eye. "I'm gonna make a change in the world…I'll be the one to end world suffering," she always says with a pump of the fist.

No…they can't die like that…they just can't! I reach over to the side pocket of my dress pants with a series of heavy breaths overtaking my chest. It's now or never…

"What are you doing!" I hear Katniss scream from behind me as I point the pistol straight into the air. The gun trembles in my fingers and I look over my shoulder to see Katniss making a horrible face at me.

"I'm doing what I think is right…and there's no way in hell that you're gonna stop me," I smile with tears brimming in my eyes.

"Beck…" she gasps with a wide eyed look. Tori gives me a weak smile and nods her head with a small laugh.

"Do it," was all that came quietly from her lips.

"Is this him Beck?" Suzie asks with excitement.

"Yes! Suzie how did you do that?" I exclaim at how amazing her photography talents have gotten. She had given me a photo of the one and only…Red Power Ranger. Sure I'm a little too old but hey, Power Rangers will never die. Suzie even took the picture herself and it looked amazing. "Suzie you rock!"

"Thanks! I try," she laughs uncontrollably at how excited I become and even lets out a little snort. It was cute…

That was back in the eighth grade and I still have that picture hanging on my wall in all of its glory. "Suzie…Moze…after I fire this shot, run! Please run!" I close my tear filled eyes and pull the trigger but right when I pull it…I hear a chorus of gunfire coming from the platform.

"Urgh!" I hear Moze cough violently into the megaphone followed by it clashing to the ground with her.

No…No…

"AAAAAHHHH!" Suzie screamed at the top of her lungs after even more shots blasted over the megaphone.

No!

Katniss and Tori are even more shaken than I am now. They stood there with dumbfounded looks before shaking their heads in denial. "No…this can't be happeing," I whisper as the rapid fire of bullets scream through the island. "Why! Why! Why!"


Sunday: June 2nd, 2010 – 10:19 A.M. (Deserted Island: Northern Mountains – Viewing Platform)

"M-M-Moze…can you hear- can you hear me?" Suzie cried hoarsely while lying in her own blood. She felt paralyzed and her stomach burned with a passion…the bullets in her body caused her to hiss in overwhelming pain. She was covered…covered in holes from the shots.

Moze didn't respond. Instead she was just lying there only a few feet away, drenched in her and Suzie's dark blood. Moze stared up at the platform ceiling wither teeth clenched from all the pain soaring through her body.

"Someone…came. Someone…c-came…Moze…your plan w-w-worked," Suzie coughed up splotches of red onto the wooden floor violently as she tried to crawl to her dear friend.

"They- They s-sure did Suz," Moze hissed through the pain, smiling at Suzie with all her strength. Suzie stopped crawling over and held Moze's head up slightly so that it was in her lap. "I take it back…" Moze sighed.

"W-what?"

"My idea…it was…was so fucking stupid…so stupid."

"No…Moze it was brave! It was heroic!" Suzie cried in a smiling way. "I'm always pretending that I'm this big deal…I was scared Moze, but you…you're always fearless…I envy you ya know," Suzie laughed weakly with a smile that curved her stained lips. Moze gave the girl above her a wide grin that meant something special and dear to Suzie and tears formed in their eyes.

"H-ha…Scaredy Cat…always the little…scaredy…cat."

"How about this?"

"The Haunted Mansion of Terror! No way am I going in there!"

"Oh come on Suzie! It'll be fun!"

"No way Moze!"

"Scaredy Cat! Scaredy Cat! Always a scaredy cat."

"T-that's right," Suzie let Moze's head rest delicately in her lap on the center of her drenched skirt. "I was a-always scared for both of us…b-b-both of us."

"You were always smiling to hide it though…you were always h-happy…" Moze choked.

"What's that look for Moze? You have a plan huh?"

"No…it's too dangerous,"

"Always…h-h-h-hap-ppy…" Moze's eyes fluttered to a close and the megaphone beside her screamed "This is what you get when you stand out…" Suzie shook her head rapidly with tears flooding her eyes. Suzie shook Moze like she was an old rag doll, screaming at her.

"No! Don't leave me! Moze! Moze! Don't leave! Come Back! Come Back to me!" Suzie hollered into her best friend's red, soaked shoulder. "You can't leave me here alone…Together…remember Moze? Together…Always…Together."

This was all being broadcasted throughout the entire island including the caves and beaches. Kendall sat by the window with wide eyes along with everyone else as Suzie continued to scream for her lost friend. Stevie ceased her running and couldn't help but tear up at the sound of Suzie and Moze's demise. It was a wake-up call for all of them and it hit them right where it hurt.

"No! Don't leave me…

"Come Back! Come Back to me…

"Together…Always…Together…

These phrases were like a record player on rewind…they played over and over in an overwhelming tone.

"You know something M-Moze? I-It would…It would have been great i-i-if Beck had come…" Suzie whispered sadly over the megaphone which caused Beck to freeze as if time had stopped. He let the tears roll down his messy face as the words stuck in his head.

I-It would…It would have been great i-i-if Beck had come…

I could have stopped them from dying… Beck thought with emotion overwhelming him. If only he'd stepped up and walked over proudly…ignoring Katniss' pleas, but was that really the right choice?

"Beck…there was nothing we could have done," Tori reassured him with tears in her brown eyes. "We would have ended up just like that also…"

"Don't worry Moze…I won't let you go," Suzie sobbed, holding the bigger girl's body in her small trembling arms. "Never let you go…Never okay?" Just then she heard footsteps from behind her and lit up. "B-Beck? Is that you? I knew you'd come. I'm so gl-" before Suzie could even finish her hopeful statement, a loud gunshot roared and her head felt like it was being split open like a watermelon. Blood splattered the floors and onto the megaphone in an instant.

"Hmph," a voice said on the megaphone, picking it up with gentleness. "Let this be a lesson to the rest of you…you either fight…or die trying," it sounded cold…almost heartless. It was Camille Robert's voice.
