Noah was haunted by the image of Tyler. He now felt immense guilt as he and him fought over Lindsay not too long ago. After hearing the news, Duncan refused to talk to him and turned some people against him. "Come on, Duncan. You didn't find him, I did. We fought but I feel horrible." Duncan was convinced Noah had been the reason Tyler died and used the fight as his only evidence. "You're a loser, and always will be Noah. You were jealous of Tyler and set him up to his death." The only people defending Noah were Cody and Owen. This reminded Noah that Tyler was and is more loved by the other campers than him, and this hurt. Not too long after the debate, Owens stomach started growling. Gwen and Courtney sighed. "We need to find food or he's going to alert the killer to our spot" Courtney said. "I can't help that I'm hungry!" Owen stated in a apologetic tone. "Tomorrow we could go find berries" Izzy suggested. After discussing what they should do and where they should go to avoid any unwanted deaths, it was set. They would split into two teams so they could find food faster. The faster they get out of there the better the chance everyone survives.
Day 20:
It was now time to leave their spot, and everyone was trembling as soon as they stepped out into the open except Izzy. She grabbed Owens hand and picked random people to go with them. Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, Geoff, and Cody. Duncan stepped up wanting to take control and said he would lead the rest. Noah, Courtney, Harold, Heather, Bridgette, Katie, and Dj. As group 1 (Izzy) set off into the forest, Group 2 (Duncan) strategized. Once their plan was made, they set off. The sun was setting and this made everyone uneasy as rustling could be heard. Noah suggested that they go back. They haven't found any food yet, so this idea was shut down by Duncan. Noah was pissed and told him he's going to get everyone killed and that's when Duncan had enough. "You want to be a leader so bad but nobody likes you and that's the truth! You're nothing but a loner. If you want to lead so bad you can have your own group." Silence fell amongst the group. "Duncan, quiet down he might hear you" Courtney whispered, terrified. "I'll be quiet if Noah finds his own group!" Nobody stepped up to go with Noah, and because of this everyone stayed with Duncan, too scared to not have enough people in their group. "Well, that's settled! This is your group Noah, hope you like it!" Duncan grinned at Noah with satisfaction as he turned to leave. "We can't just leave him!" Dj plead. "If you don't follow me now, I'll make more noise than before, might just have a conversation with the killer too." That was enough to put Dj back into place and they marched off, leaving Noah behind. Now alone and scared, he tried to find his way back when suddenly a rope was shot around his neck and whoever put it there pulled tight. He couldn't breathe, but since he had a higher tolerance to how long he can go without breath the killer got impatient. Taking out their knife used on Ezekiel and Justin, he stabbed Noah to get it over with and finally the struggle ended. Noah was somehow still alive but the stab took all of his strength, so the killer was now able to carry him over to a lake and push his head underwater until his legs stopped moving. They then got up and just left the body there, hoping someone would find it soon.
Duncan marched back with the rest of his team to the cabins and they saw group 2. Cody and Owen looked impatient and looked at every camper once they arrived. In unison, they both gasped and asked Duncan if Noah was outside. "Yeah, but I don't know where." He said, picking at his fingernails. "He's soooo "smart" so I figured to prove that he could make his way back without us." Cody looked as if he saw a ghost. "If he dies it's gonna be on you." Owen said with a cold glare and this stunned Duncan as he was usually as friendly as a teddy. The group waited for Noah and after hours Cody jumped up and stated that he was going to look for him. It was still dark so everyone thought he was insane. Owen volunteered to go with him and pulled Izzy along too. The campers wished them luck before they set off and Cody left, but not before shoulder checking Duncan on the way out.
