Island of the Slaughtered

Episode 13: Board the Entrance

Caleb pushes one of the beds against the door, his muscles straining as he barricades the entrance. "That should keep Scary Girl out," he mutters, wiping sweat from his brow. The rest of the group stands huddled together, their eyes darting nervously around the cabin. Everyone is on edge, convinced Scary Girl is the killer after the eerie events of the past few days.

Confessional  - Caleb:
"Do I think it was necessary to barricade the door? No. But did I do it to make everyone feel safer? Yes. Yes I did"

"She's definitely the one," Wayne says, his voice trembling. "I mean, look at what she did to MK!"

Raj nods from his spot next to Wayne . "Yeah, dragging her in here like that? She's gotta be the killer."

But then MK, still wincing in pain from her injuries, speaks up. “Guys, she's not. You're all making a mistake." She sits up straighter, her voice firm despite the exhaustion in her eyes. “I was with her when Priya died. I get she's weird, but she's not the killer."

Damien, who had just woken up, furrows his brow, still groggy from his fainting spell. "Wait... how did she even know where you were?" he asks, confusion clear in his voice.

MK sighs, her expression softening as she glances toward the now-empty corner where Scary Girl had been. "She’s been bringing me food and water. She told me you guys didn’t want me back in the cabin. And since I couldn’t walk, she kept me alive by bringing me stuff.”

A heavy silence fills the room as everyone processes what MK just said. Julia looks down at MK’s jacket, the guilt of her earlier actions weighing heavily on her heart. She takes a step closer to MK, her voice soft and apologetic. “It's not that we didn't want you back! We thought you were... you know. I’m so sorry, MK. I should’ve never kicked you out.”

MK shakes her head slightly. “It’s fine, Julia. You weren’t the only one.”

Axel, still standing in her defensive stance, slowly lowers her fists. "So, if it's not Scary Girl... then who the hell is the killer?"

Everyone exchanges uneasy glances, the realization sinking in that they still have no idea who’s behind the murders. The air feels thick with tension, as though danger could strike at any moment.

"We need to stick together," Caleb finally says, his voice serious. "No more going off alone. Whoever's doing this is still out there, and we can’t afford to lose anyone else."

Wayne nods quickly.

"Agreed. We should move in shifts, keep watch. No more surprises." says Bowie.
