Colt opened his eyes, and saw the campfire from last night. The once burning flame was now just embers that glowed red. He looked up and saw David walking back to the campfire. "What are you doing up so early?" Colt asked David. "Nothing." David said quickly.
Colt was still suspicious of David for Jason's murder. He wondered what he was up to. Colt brushed it off and decided to go back to sleep. He was completely exhausted.
Kelsey woke up on top of Jonathan's chest. His body warmth had kept her warm through the night. She smiled and said "good morning." Jonathan smiled back and said "good morning, babe." He kissed her on the forehead. Kelsey & Jonathan had been dating since sophomore year. She had met Jonathan at the local skating rink. Kelsey absolutely hated skating, because she always fell on her ass. This time, she had fallen but Jonathan had been right behind her and caught her.
Kelsey had snapped her head up and looked into Jonathan's eyes, flustered. "I am so sorry, I am such a klutz." She said. Jonathan had smirked down at her and said, "don't worry about it." She had recognized him from school, and he had recognized her.
She loved his jet black hair, the way it was slicked back. She loved his tan skin, his defined jawline, his muscles, the dimple in his cheek when he smiled, she loved his everything. They decided to go eat at the local pizza place instead of continuing to skate.
"Believe it or not, I also suck at skating." Jonathan said, while devouring a piece of bacon pizza. Kelsey let out a laugh. "No way! You're totally better than me! Hell, you saved me from busting my ass and humiliating myself on the rink." She said. He smiled, and that dimple in his cheek popped out.
There was an unspoken lust in the air between the two of them that night. They drove to his house, where he made sweet love to her all through the night. It was the best sex she had ever had in her life. Even though she had just gotten to know him that day, she had a special bond with him that nobody could ever understand.
Ever since then, Kelsey & Jonathan had been deeply in love. They never got bored of one another and they couldn't go anywhere without the other. Even though they were stranded on this island, they still barely wanted to be away from each other except when absolutely necessary.
Shaina woke up just as everyone else did. She yawned and stretched, looking over at Shannon. She was still asleep. She looked around, doing a mental check of everyone. She realized that someone was missing. Winnie.
"Guys, where's Winnie?" Shaina asked aloud. Jonathan looked around the shore. "I have absolutely no idea. I didn't even notice she was missing until you said something." He said. "We need to find her." David said. "What the hell happened to someone keeping watch at night to make sure no one else committed suicide?"
Shaina & David decided to search for Winnie. They went through the forest. "Winnie?" Shaina yelled, hoping for a response. There was none. It didn't take long for Shaina & David to find Winnie.
Shaina gasped at the sight that lay in front of her. "Holy shit." David said. Winnie's eyes were blood shot and bulged wide open. Her neck was bruised and her lips were blue. She had been strangled to death.
