No Longer.

Rule #5 - Once, you see her, don't turn around.

Day #14

Noah -

It's been quiet ever since what happened to Justin. No one apart from Trent knows how he died, Trent didnt want to say. If I'm being completely honest, I didnt want to know. I just want to go home, I shouldnt have joined this show, I thought I could get a break from my sisters and possibly even bring some money home. But no. I could die here. I don't want to die.

Cody still hasn't left my side, I'm scared I might be starting to like him, not just in a friendly way. I dont know, it sounds stupid. Luckily nothing has happened in roughly 4 days, everyone is just trying to distract themselves now. Some buy playing games, or just talking, personally I'm reading. Cody is just staring into space. He doesnt look upset or anything so I dont question it.

After a while I get a bit tired of reading, and in general. I let out a yawn, covering my mouth as I do so. Cody turns to me, "You tired?" He asks. I just nod, sometimes my voice doesnt work, so I've tried learning sign language, I've got the basics down but I'm no were near fluent. Cody just nods in return, I dont really know what to do from here, do I lie down? Stay sitting up? What am I supposed to do in this situation.

Cody's POV -

Noah looks like he is about to drop dead from exhaustion. I'm tired as hell too if I'm being honest. It's gotten a bit awkward now. It's gone quiet in the cabin we are sitting in. Luckily it's just us two. I turn my head a bit, it slightly leaning on Noah, I hope it sends even a small message that I like him. I do think I like him, I thought I liked Gwen to be honest and I definitely did, but shes getting with Trent. I feel the same way about Noah as I did about Gwen, possibly even stronger.

"What'cha readin'?" I ask, I think my shitty attempt at flirting worked out a bit since Noah's face has a bit of a pink glow to it. It feels weird thinking this way since it's a literal massacre happening, but if I may die, I want to be with the person I have feelings for. Does that make sense?

No one's POV -

As everyone was sitting around trying to distract themselves, one person wanted to go off on their own. That person was Beth. She wanted to go to the confessionals to see if there was still a camera residing there to see if the killer or something had left some incriminating evidence there. She thought she could just head over since it wasnt to far away from camp. She didnt tell anyone where she was heading for some unknown reason.

On her way over she started thinking, about the killer, the deaths, Lindsay, everything. Even her getting her braces removed was on her mind. She was supposed to get them off by the time the shows finale had finished, she was so excited to be able to smile 'normally', to show it off to everyone, but now she doesnt know if she will even make it off of this god for saken island.

By the time she heard the confessional, she was completely zoned out. She didn't notice anything, not even the killer standing less than 7 feet ahead of her. She snapped out of it once the killer came into view, she flashed him a small nervous smile, she was completely frozen. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't run, her legs wouldn't work. She just stood. The killer did just the same. After what felt like a year Beth finally took a step back, the killer took multiple steps forward, Beth ran. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her. Unfortunately for her, she was caught pretty quickly. The killer yanked her by her hair, covered her mouth and dragged her farther from camp. Once he was certain no one could hear anything, he let go of Beth's mouth but kept a tight grip on her hair. Before Beth could scream, her head was pressed against a large rock, it could easily be mistaken as a boulder. Before she knew it, her head was repeatedly bashed against said rock, you could hear the squelching sound her brains made for miles. It was a disgusting, wet mess. The side or her head was close to unrecognisable. The killer lifted her limp body up to his level by her hair, you would see Beth's braces now hanging loose from her teeth. The killer hated her smile, it annoyed him beyond belief. He grabbed her braces and let go of her hair, ripping her braces along with one of her back teeth straight from her mouth.

By the time people noticed Beth was missing, it was far beyond too late. They all knew what it meant, they just didn't want to admit it. Courtney was the first to go looking, a small group following behind her. The first place they went were the confessionals. There was nothing, so they continued North. That was were Courtney was face-to-face with a dead Beth, lying on the ground. Her glasses were gone, along with her braces, her head was bashed in. And the worst part.. Her face wasn't in a display of agony as it should have been. It was contorted into a un-natural Smile. Courtney physically gagged. She backed up. Walking back to the group. Everyone asked her why she was so pale, but they all knew the reason, they knew Courtney had found Beth first.

Beth Yentsten died cold and alone. She had no one left. Her best and only friend had died just a few days prior. No one was waiting for her, her whole life she was tormented and she wasn't able to prove them wrong.

She was only a child? They all were.
