"Fucking hell that was tiring," Jayeon commented. With a dark-coloured handkerchief, she cleaned her bloodied axe as they exited the building.

"For real!" Jake exclaimed, walking ahead of the three. "I'm ready to crash somewhere for the night." He suddenly yawned, stretching his arms out.

"There's a lighthouse not too far away from here," Hayeon told them. "If we get going now, then we'll arrive there in the next hour or so."

"The next hour? That's going to take forever." Jake complained. "And I need to sleep like right right now."

"There are beds there," Hayeon mentioned. "Plus, you three look like you need some proper food. Judging by the weight of those bags, I know you guys haven't eaten anything since the game started. You can sleep as much as you want once we get there."

"What if there are already people there?" Jay questioned, raising his brow as he looked towards Hayeon.

"Do I have to remind you?" Hayeon chuckled, removing her GPS from her pocket and waving it around. "I already know where everyone is."

"Oh yeah," Jay said dryly.

"Let's get going," Hayeon said, running ahead of her teammates. "It's three o'clock now, and if we leave, we can arrive just before the next announcement, which is at six. So follow me, everyone!"

"This is going to be our base for the rest of this game," Hayeon announced as they stood before the tall, white and blue striped structure.

"Yeah, yeah, enough with the talking where's the beds," Jake questioned, beginning to become impatient.

"Inside obviously," Hayeon remarked. She pushed open the lighthouse door, luckily, it was unlocked. They walked right in. "If I'm correct, the beds are on the third floor."

With that newly acquired information, Jake dropped his bags at the entrance and dashed up to the third floor.

"That boy," Jayeon commented with an amused smile. Shaking her head, she picked up his backpack and day pack from the ground.

Jay stood halfway up the staircase, he turned back to look at Jayeon. "Do you want help with that?" He queried.

"Nah, I'm fine." Jayeon declined. And with Jake's bags as well as her own, she made her way up to the first floor. Once there she dropped them all in a corner.

"I should get started on dinner," Jay stated, washing his hands before looking through the contents of the cupboards and fridge. There was a decent amount of food, a lot of it was still in date.

"Do you want help?" Jayeon questioned, leaning against the counter as she watched the male get to work immediately.

"No thanks," Jay told her as he focused on his craft. "You can rest; I'll call you when the food's ready."

Jayeon nodded, "See you later then."

"Bye, Jayeon," Jay said, glancing up at her with a small sweet smile before continuing.

Hayeon stood at the highest point of the lighthouse. She leaned over the railing with her sniper and watched her classmates as they sat on a large rock, conversing.

She felt a familiar presence behind her, her sister. "So Jayeon, what's your end game?" Hayeon asked, not sparing the younger girl a single glance.

"I don't know what's yours?" Jayeon redirected the question back at her sister.

"To survive today, watch everyone else fall to their demise, kill off those two idiots, and -" Hayeon suddenly paused.

"And what?" Jayeon scoffed, folding her arms. "Kill me as well so you could be the winner of this whole thing? That's not happening, You're not hurting either of my friends."
