"Holy shit" Is the first thing that pops out of my mouth. I stare, mouth wide open, up at his body. I'm shocked. This is not just a one time thing. It's happened twice now and we definitely have a problem.

There is a slight wind and it howls through the trees. We are silent for a pretty long time just looking at the body. The man who had saved our lives last year has now lost his.

"What...how...I..." Jackson says at a lost of words like we all are.

"Who is doing this!" Quinn yells.

"Well it's has to be one of us. Right?" Marley asks.

"Yes. Probably. But we aren't going to go and point fingers because that will just cause more problems." I say.

"We need to find this son of bitch!"

"Yeah obviously."

"Maybe it's just a Terror." Megan suggests.

"I feel like a Terror would just kill us all at the same time."

"Then who!?"

"I don't know!" I yell.

I sit down and lean against a tree trunk. My stomach rumbles and I realize I have eaten in a while. I'm also very dehydrated. I just have a lot of problems at the moment. I'm trying to think this out. Who is doing this?

I look around at everyone. We have Jennifer, Megan, Jackson, Donna, Quinn, Marley, Carley, and me. I have suspicions of Jackson and Donna. But Donna was with me the whole time. Well I guess I did sleep for a little. But she couldn't have done it anyways, her leg is very injured. That's when I remember the cut on my arm and it throbs with pain.

"Guys!" Carley says. I get up and walk over. She is on the other side of the tree where Albert is strung up in. She points to the trunk and I look.

There's a message carved into it. It says My gift to you with an arrow pointing down. There is something laying on the ground under the message. It's Vitam. The plant that immediately heals any wounds. I grab it and run to Donna. I press it down on her cut on the her leg.

"Hold that down on your wound and it will be healed in like a minute." I say.

"What?" Carley asks.

"It's a plant that we've actually studied before. It's heals wounds very quickly. It's called Vitam." Donna says pressing it down.

I take some too and press it on the cut on my arm. The sting goes away and it's already feeling a lot better.

"I'm confused. Why would this 'Noose' guy give us this if he's just wants to kill us?"

"I don't know. But I feel like he's trying to display a message. He killed Charles to show us that we had no protection. He killed Albert to show us there is no escape." I say.

"What are you talking about?"

"Charles was our body guard and he was dead first. And now our pilot is dead. It just seems weird."

"What are we going to do now?" Marley asks.

"Well first things first, we need food and water." I say.

"Well since we have this bow and arrow that we got from one of the Terrors maybe we could find an animal and shoot it." Donna says.

"But then we would need to build a fire. And does anyone know how to do that?" Jennifer asks.

"Well how did you guys survive last time?" Quinn asks.

"We had matches. We got them from a building that..."
