I shot up and sat right up in bed, again... that same nightmare I had two days ago... but this time Louis didn't woke me up, this time the nightmare went on and on ... Well, I guess you can't really call it an nightmare since it really happened.

Ever since I was thirteen years old, I had this nightmare, or flashback, however you want to call it, over and over again. There was no single night that went by without this horrible film, playing in my head. I used to stay up late, afraid to fall asleep, afraid that I had to re-ive it all, and afraid of never waking up.

My foster parents forced me to go to a therapist, they thought that talking about it would help .. they were so wrong .. the nightmare kept coming every day. untill I was at the age of sixteen. At that point it suddenly stopped, maybe because my reality was getting worse than my actual nightmares ...

"Up early?" Brooke smiled as I took a seat next to her. I wanted to slap that smile off her face so badly .. I couldn't deal with happy people in the morning at all.

I just nodded in response and rubbed my eyes. I was actually wondering how I looked, I hadn't seen my selves in four days now, maybe I was looking pretty decent ... but most likely I looked like Quasimodo .. you know, that weird little thing from the hunchback of the Nore-Dame .. yes .. that bad.

I lightly chuckled at my thoughts, wich was very unusual for me.

"What's so funny?" Brooke questioned as she raised her eyebrows.

" Oh uhm ... Do you know Quasimodo? You know .. from that Disney movie?"

"Yeah ? ..."

"Oh, I was just thinking about him"

"Okay...."She looked at me weird, which caused me to burst out in laughter, I just realised how stupid I sounded.

"You're so weird" Brooke joked as she playfully slapped my shoulder.

"Hellooowww team red!"

'Fack my life' I immediately thought as I heard Johns voice from a distance. I was still a little bit tired, and absolutely not in the mood for his sarcasm, excitement and evilness, and yes, that's an actual word.

Everyone was already awake, so he wasn't able to throw water on some people, which sort of disappointed me, it would have been fun ...

"I brought some water bottles with me, we don't want you to die, because we ain't insured for that" He halfly joked. I think he was being damn serious.

He picked up a bag and stepped out of the boat before he dropped it on the sand.

We all sort of ran to the bag and picked out a bottle of water, we probably looked like some hungry animals that hadn't drunk in weeks. I did drink some sea water though, but it wasn't good at all, it smelled like fish and tasted salty.

I drank up the whole bottle at once, I never thought that you could enjoy a simple amount of water that much ...

"Well, no furtherr a do, we don't want to be late! hop in!"

The ride took a little bit longer than the last time, they brought us to a different Island as well. This one was split in two by a river that was streaming in between both sides. The only connection between both sides was a felled tree trunk, that was about ten meters long.

Team Blue arrived on the other side of the Island a short amount of time after us, their eyes were scanning through our teammates, wanting to know who had already left.

I was so jealous, they probably got  food for a whole week or something, while we only had some rice and apples left.

They waved in excitement, obviously ready for the challenge, in contrast to us, we just stood there, dead glaring them.

After a few minutes pof waiting , John finally started talking into his microphone.

"Welcome back teams!" He grinned. " As we all know, team red had to vote someone out yesterday, so they only have seven members left! Zac sadly had to leave the game, because of a conspiracy that was put up against him, the poor boy had no idea"

Just when my guilty feeling started to go away ...

"That's just to remind all of you that no single one is safe in this game, everyone is here to win, not to make friends" He claimed, making me feel worse than I already did, I was here for the money as well, but never wanted to take away any ones chance of winning.

" But all of that aside now! Let's start with explaining your challenge!" The cameras were zoomed in on his face, so they could get a good shot of his facial expressions.

"As you can see, there is a tree trunk in the middle of the river, that connects both islands together. and there are also laying a few bags on each Island, which are filled with sand." I looked to the right, to see the heavy bags.

" Every single one of you, has to pick  a bag, and walk to the other Island, without falling into the water. but, at the same time, one person of the other team has to achieve the same exact thing. you are allowed to hit your opponent with the bag of sand, to make him or her lose its balance"

Oh god ... even without the bags I would probably fall into the water, the tree was quite small, so it was easy to lose your balance really quickly.

"Team blue can choose one person to just watch, since team red only has seven players left.So when everyone is ready we can start"
