ELLIE'S POV

8:03, day 10

Why does this keep happening? First the guys from 6, now Danny? Ugh. It was one of the others, and I bet I knew who, it was lucy wasn't it, I thought, she killed them all, and it was about time I killed her. I planned to do it when I went on my daily hunting trip, I asked her to come, and she said ok. We had breakfast, then left, I had a spear, bow + arrow, and a concealed knife, Lucy had a knife. Once we got away from the view of the other careers I turned on Lucy, I pinned her to a tree and whispered in her ear, "You killed them, didn't you, you killed Danny and the others."
"I - I don't know what you're talking about," she said, truthfully.
"Liar," I said, "Filthy little liar."

And with that, I stabbed her with my hidden knife, leaving it in, blood spurted out the wound and splattered on my face and torso, it was warm and sticky, the smell was almost unbearable. I killed a passing deer, and headed back.

"Hi," Beth said when I returned, "Hey, where's Lucy?"
"Dead, killed by a passing tribute, I fended them off in the end, but Lucy wasn't lucky," I lied.
"Oh," Beth said, almost sad, "Oh well."
My mistake. That night I slept without fear of death, and by morning the past few days event were forgotten, and we acted as normal.
