I grabbed the knife and guickly put it in my pocket. I don't think I'll need it, but I feel safe with it. We all got up and walked to our beds. I sat down in mine, I couldn't stop thinking about them. As of right now, this is the most I've ever felt towards them. Is that weird? I mean, why now? Why now when I could possibly be killed in my sleep by those two?

I looked up and my eyes went over to Saybia. They wouldn't look away. It's like they had a mind of their own here. She was hunched over in her bed. She was shaking? What was wrong? Before I could get my mind on it, my legs got up and started walking over to her. First my eyes and now my legs? What else, my arms?

Once I got over to her bed, I didn't know what to do. She looked so calm, but she was still shaking. Before I could get any closer to her, she pulled out her knife and held it out to me. I threw my hands up in defence, I tried to let her know I wasn't going to hurt her. She saw the distress in my eyes and lowered it. I looked down to her, and she scooted over to let me sit with her.

I sat down and we didn't talk for a full minute, I didn't know what to say to her. I only kept glancing over to her, hoping she will start first. I took one final glance before speaking, she was still hunched over, she had her knees to her chest.

"Hey...I think we should team up." I looked away as I was talking.

Now my eyes wouldn't stop looking at Sang-won. I felt her eyes on me after I spoke the second part of my sentence. I kept my eyes on that basterd.

"If we work together, we could get rid of him. And we could leave this place together."

My hands felt clamy, and they balled themselves into fists.

I looked back to her when she spoke up, he voice was shaky and uneasy.

"What's your reason for being here?"

I thought about what I told Hyon and the old man. And I said it,

"I'm here to find my parents. Somehow, I've felt more close to them then ever here. I don't know why, but it's stronger now." I looked away I didn't want to see her sympathetic eyes.

"I'm trying to find my mom too," she started. I looked back over to her, eyes wide. "And I need the money to help my little brother."

She has a brother?

"Uh, where is he and your mom?" I asked.

She hesitated before speaking again.

"My brother is in a child's shelter, and my mom is stuck in North Korea."

I looked away, so far, the people I've talked to about the money and why they're here has a better reason than me. I thought about what we could do, to both get what we want.

"Why...why don't we stop this?" I kept my eyes to my lap but I felt her piercing eyes on me.

"You want to end it right now?" She asked, I could hear the obvious annoyance in her tone.

"Yeah...I thought about it. We're what we need to end this thing, and we could work together to both get what we came for." Now that I'm sounding it out, it sounds stupid.

"No, I don't think that would work. And plus you're so close." I looked over to her, what does she mean by only me?

"Hey, let's make a deal." She said.

My eyes found their way back to Sang-won I watched his body go limp as he fell asleep.

"Go on.." I whispered.

"If one of us doesn't make it, we will help each other's families." Her deal was nice, but why was she saying this? She wasn't going to die right?

I felt her eyes staring at me and I only nodded, my mind went to the worst place of all. Ever sence I've been here, it's gone to bad places, but this time it was a crime. I stood up and walked away. I got a few feet away from her when I pulled out the knife. Was I gonna do it? Would my body let me?

Before I could get any farther, she stopped me. "Stop, that's not you."

She was right. It wasn't me anymore. I didn't know who the hell I was anymore. I kept my eyes on him, he looked peaceful for once. He was sound asleep it was the perfect time. Why can't I move? My legs won't go anymore! I have to do this, it's unfair of him to live.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a thud. My heart dropped, was that what it was? I turned around and it was her, she was holding her left side, and she was slumped over. I ran to her, I put my hand were hers was and it felt wet, like thick water, but it wasn't water...I looked down and only saw black. My heart came back up and is now in my throat. I looked back up to her and she was for sure dying.

"How...how did this happen?!" I asked with a quivering voice.

She only kept huffing. I needed to do something! They needed to help her!

I pried my hands off her and ran to the door. I started banging on it, my hands were covered in her blood, so I smeared it on the door.

"Somebody help! There's a very injured girl in here! She's dying! Come on you need her alive if you want her in the next game!" My last sentence got their attention.

The door opened fast, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I kept talking to the man with a square mask, he pushed past me and I saw it.

That same wooden coffin with that light pink bow. My heart fell. I looked over towards the girl. And there he was. He held his knife in his hand and he was covered in her blood. My face grew hot from anger, my hands found their way into fists and I ran up to him.

I was about to punch him when a triangle knocked me off with the butt of his gun. I fell down with the force of his strength, and he put his knee on my head and he held his gun to me. I kept my eyes on Sang-won who was being manhandled the same way as me. I looked away and saw her. They put her in her coffin and I knew it was over. I would never see her again. It was unfair...I kept yelling at Sang-won, cussing him out and sobbing threw my words. Making my voice wet and shaky.

I can't believe I left her. It's my fault she's dead, it's my fault she can't see her mom and brother again. I did this, I caused all this. I did it to her, to myself. I'm alone again. Alone like I was after the old man. Alone after my parents went missing. Alone after my uncle left. Alone after Sang-won killed Saybia. I felt sick, my lungs hurt from crying so much mixed with yelling. But it felt right, the words I called Sang-won felt right on my tongue. He deserved to hear that, he deserved to die.
