The Killer Instinct

Chapter 2

Oliver's POV

I stumbled onto the shore of Lian Yu. The wreckage sunk to the bottom of the ocean and there was no sign of Katie. I must've landed on the far side because I can't see where the mask with the arrow in it is.

"KATIE!" I yelled.

Silence.

"KATIE!" I repeated.

No response.

"No...no no no..." I murmured and began my trek into the forest.

Barry's POV

"Do you think they'll be okay?!" I asked Felicity as we sat in the basement.

"They'll be fine. Oliver's lived there for five years and Katie was there with Max for six months." Felicity replied typing some things on the computer.

"But they didn't bring Max this time. Katie said it was because she wanted to learn how to survive without a dog by her side." I argued.

"You may have a point but they will be fine. They're skilled archers living in a wild for like a year. It'll be fine." Felicity said reassuringly.

"I hope they'll be okay." I whined leaning on the table.

Max came over and whimpered, rubbing against me, "I know bud. I miss her already too."

Katie's POV

I sat on Lookout Rock sharpening my arrows on the cliff and watching the sun set on the horizon. What else was I supposed to do? I've already eaten a small ration of dinner and I tidied up the plane a little. But now I just sit in this rock watching the sunset.

It's gonna be a long time before anything comes.

"I hope you're out there Oliver." I murmured to myself sheathing my arrows.

Out here, it's kill or be killed.

Oliver's POV

I know I should head back to the abandoned plane on the island somewhere but Katie and I agreed that this was survival training. So if she's out there or dead then I will honor her memory so I'll do just that.

Survive.

Felicity's POV

Barry's really worried about his sister. They left this morning and they should've landed a little while ago. She didn't take Max with her so he's freaking out. Katie told us that they'll call in the satellite phone for when to go get them.

Since Ray gave me the night off I sat alone in the basement trying to find something worth saving. Barry went out to handle a metahuman or something and Diggle went home to Lyla.

Katie's POV

I got up from my spot on Lookout Rock and went back into the forest. I walked back to the plane and sat down on one of the containers. I rested my head in my hands and wished I was dead.

I took a deep breath and picked my head up, "This isn't what Olly would've wanted."
