Six **COMPLETED**

Five

Gwen sat next to Courtney's body, feeling her pulse every two minutes, just to make sure she wasn't dead.

Gwen turned, hearing leaves crunching. She saw Heather running down to them, Alejandro trying to keep up behind her.

"What's going on?!" Gwen asked, worriedly, seeing the scared expressions on their faces.

"Courtney! Is she-" Heather looked at Courtney's body.

"She's still alive, but I found something on her arm, I don't know what it says."

Alejandro walked over to Courtney, bending down. Heather held out her arm. "I have it too. It's Spanish. Alejandro says that it says..'after Courtney, you are next.'"

"Next?" Gwen looked at the asian in shock. "Do you mean-"

They heard screaming coming towards the woods. 

Everyone turned to the sound. 

"Was that Trent!?" Gwen gasped. 

Heather looked at Alejandro, who looked back at her. 

Gwen took a step forwards. "I'm going to find them." Then, she charged into the woods, ignoring Heather's cries for her to come back.

Gwen dodged leaves and branches, though some scraped her pale face. She stopped, seeing someone pulling a body. "Oh my god..."

"Gwen!" The person pulling the body screamed. 

"Trent!? What...who is that! Where's- oh god..."

"I-I don't know what happened!" Trent exclaimed, lifting Duncan's unconscious body so he could wrap Duncan's arm on his shoulder. Gwen took the other arm. "He just....I turned around, he didn't answer me, and when I turned back he was stabbed!"

Gwen looked at Trent as they dragged Duncan along back to the others. "You're not hurt?"

Trent shook his head. "No, wait..what happened to your face?"

Gwen touched her face, "It's nothing."

Trent raised his eyebrows, to which Gwen scowled.

"Ok, fine! I was uh," She blushed, "nervous. I heard screaming, I thought you got hurt."

Trent blushed as well, "Look, Gwen I-"

"OH CRAP!"

A voice interrupted Trent. The two looked up to see Courtney standing in front of them, clutching her side. 

"Courtney!" Gwen exclaimed. "You're awake!"

Courtney ignored Gwen's exclamation. "What- Duncan! Is he...?"

Trent shook his head, "He's breathing.."

Courtney stepped out of the way so Gwen and Trent could pull Duncan's body back to the others.

Heather and Alejandro seemed to just be sitting there, having no idea what to say to each other. 

Trent looked at them, then back at Gwen, "Y'know, they'd be great for each other," He smirked.

Gwen smiled and shook her head. "They just won't admit it."

Heather stood as they approached, "Duncan?"

Gwen and Trent layed him out in front of them.

"If it weren't for Trent's belt," Gwen looked down at Duncan's body, Trent's belt was wrapped around his Trent, "Duncan would be dead."

Everyone then turned to Trent, who replied with, "What?"

Heather rolled her eyes, "You were with him, what happened?"

"Oh uh," Trent scanned the group, back and forth between each of them. "Duncan and I were talking, I turned around, and someone stabbed him."

"You didn't see who did it?" Alejandro asked.

Trent shook his head. Gwen stood from peering at Duncan's body, "He'll live, he'll wake up, hopefully soon, it's getting dark."

Courtney looked at them, "Then I guess we should just...sleep here." She reached into Duncan's pocket and pulled out a lighter. She was confused when everyone was looking at her, "What? Nobody knew that he carries a lighter in his pocket?"

The rest of the group shrugged, Heather took the time to glare at Gwen, who she, having dated Duncan, should have known about the lighter.

Sooner enough, the group had a camp set. Gwen was right about Duncan surviving, he woke up about two hours after he was stabbed. 

Gwen stood from gazing at the fire, "I'll go get some more firewood, we're running out."

As she started walking away, Trent raced after her, "Gwen! Wait up!"

Gwen turned, "Yeah?"

Trent made sure that the others weren't listening, which they weren't. "Remember when I was interrupted in the woods?" She nodded.

Trent blushed, "I wanted to say that I...I like you, Gwen. Like, a lot, and I know that this may not be the time or...place but I wanted t-"

She kissed him. Not hard. A soft kiss. 

Once they broke apart, they smiled at each other, "So...?" Trent asked.

"Once we get home, I promise, we can go to a movie. Not a horror movie, it can be your choice." They stared at each other after Gwen said this. She walked into the woods. Trent went back to the group, sitting down. The rest of the group said nothing about what just happened.

"So, what now?" Heather asked, gazing around them.

Courtney shrugged, "I guess....we talk? I mean, my mom said that they just want to see how the six of us interact."

Alejandro shook his head, "I was told that this was like, a punishment."

Duncan snorted, "Like princess would get in trouble." 

That's when they heard a scream piercing through the woods. Courtney looked around, wide eyed, "What happened?"

Trent gazed at the empty spot next to him, "Where's Gwen?"
