I woke up on the floor with my head on the killer's lap. Blood dripping from above. I look up and blood drips from the table, knife in his hand which was by my stomach, and blood dripping from his face. My right arm aches so bad. He is in his killer clothes, leaning against the table. I glance up at the table and there lies the killer that tried to hurt me.

The others come running to the pod where we were. He immediately gets up, covers my mouth and holds me. He's going crazy. He starts backing up while Hunter says, "let her go and we will let you go free." 

"No!"

"Let her go. Don't kill her or torture her." 

"I won't."

"What, why? At this point you do, or at least threatened." Hunter said. "I won't." They came closer and we took a step back. "Don't come any closer."

"You're the killer, right?" 

"Yes."

"Don't kill her." 

"I won't. Just don't come near us." Samantha came running in and she screamed and cried. "No. Not again. Not again. My arm hurts real bad, like I've got stabbed multiple times. "Ahh!" I scream as tears come to eyes. "Leave us alone." he said. 

"It hurts." I mumble. "I know." he mumbled back. "So you're the one coming at night and killing all of our friends." 

"Yeah I've been killing everyone." Tears strolled down my face. It stings so bad. We kept walking back. "Makayla, do you know him?" I shook my head. "Don't bring her into this." 

"Why not. Clearly she's part of it if you don't want her in it." Hunter said debating with him. 

"Killer. I need medicine now." I whisper. He didn't respond. I grabbed his hand and took it off my mouth. He didn't try to fight me. I also got free of him. He then noticed what I was doing and loosened his grip. I stayed by his side. "Makayla. Come with us now."

"Makayla run he will get you too," Samantha sobbed.

I needed him right now. I held my arm, that's how bad it stings. It's a sharp pain. I lean my head against his shoulder and stay there. I grab the killer's hand and bring his to my arm. My aching arm. 

"What are you going to do with her if you're not going to give her back?" 

"Taking care of her, now bye."

"Wait!"

We left them. We went outside to head to the purple pod doors. Once we were in my room, he set me on my bed and checked for medicine. "Here, take some of this." He handed me a cup full of advil. I took it and my sting didn't go away instantly, but hopefully it will. "What happened. Why was I on your lap and blood dripping from the table?"

"You can't remember, can you?"

"No. I just said what happened."

"I know. I don't know what happened, but I heard you screaming help and I ran to only see Rick injecting a needle inside you. You were passing out and I was scared for both you and everyone else. I didn't know what kind of needle he put inside you. I dragged you away a few feet before I went all physcopath. I stabbed him like crazy. I've also slit his throat, and as you can tell blood got all over me. You alright?"

"A bit." I relaxed on the couch. "Wasn't it a bit much taking me away from them?"

"I'm sorry. It's just . . . after what Jacob did to you . . . I had to be protective. I guess it was a bit much. How's your arm?"

"I don't know, really."

"Just rest." he knelt down, wiping the hair away from my face. I tried sitting up. It didn't hurt as much. I leaned back as he left the room for me to sleep. I had to go to the washroom, meeting Samantha in the hall. "Hey Samantha."

"Makayla, how was it?"

"How was what?"

"Him saving you and whatever you two were doing in there."

"Good. How did the others react?"

"They were worried. I also saw the killer kill someone, didn't look like it was one of us."

"No, it was someone he knew, but didn't like. That guy was the reason I was in trouble."

"He didn't mind killing him then?"

"I doubt it. Even if he did, he just wanted my safety and everyone else's. He wants to kill us, no one else."

"Yes, that would make sense. Are you hungry?"

"A tiny bit."

"Then let's go."

"Just let me go to the washroom first."

When I finished, Samantha waited for me. We headed to the foods room where everyone was. I went over to grab some food. "Here you sit and I'll grab some food for you."

"It's ok, Hunter I'll grab the food."

"Yeah, Hunter. She can get her own food." Ethan said, defending for me.

"Thanks Ethan." I say. I made myself a sandwich. A peanut butter and jam sandwich. Samantha came to join me. "What did the killer do to you?" Hunter asked. "Nothing. Just gave me medicine."

I was now terrified where this was going.

Kylo entered the room and gave me a smile and now I'm okay. I just ate my sandwich in silence for the remainder of the time. I had this hard feeling on Hunter. He doesn't seem himself. He usually doesn't care about me, so this is quite weird to me. "Now we know what the killer looks like. I knew that Makayla had something to do with the killer." Everybody looked at me and I wasn't bothered by it. "Would you like to say anything?"

"Yes, I would."

"Alright, what?"

"I just said something."

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did. I said 'yes I would."

"She's right." replied Ethan. "She did say something."

"One point for Makayla." Ian said, grabbing a piece of paper out of his pocket and writing down two columns that says 'M' and 'H' and a tally under the M. "What's that?" Kylo asks. "I'm keeping track of how many times they beat each other in some war, like now." Ian explains. "And the girl wins a tally. At the end of the day, I see who wins. Each time they battle with words, I'll tally to see who's beating who. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes I do."

"So far Makayla is winning. By the end of the day, we'll know who wins."

"Sorry Makayla, you can't beat me. No one can. I'm unbeatable." Hunter brags. "Well, according to Ian, I just did." I say. "Another one for Makayla. That's two in a minute. Hunter you need to step up your game." 

"I'm not losing to a girl."

"So far you are Hunter," answered Ian. "I'll make you a deal. The loser gets to share one secret that you wouldn't share with anyone. And the winner doesn't. How does that sound?"

"Deal." I say. "What about you Hunter? Deal or no deal." Samantha said.

"Deal."

"Shake hands."

We shook hands. "Let the battle begin!" Ian said with excitement. "You're going down, Makayla."

"You sure about that. I've got two tallies, while you've got none." I say grabbing water from the fridge and drinking it. "Hunter, if you're going to battle her, you better be careful of what you say." exclaimed Kylo. 

"Got it, Kylo." 

"Watch this, I'll beat her. Hey Makayla."

"Yes?"

"You're so salty."

I look up while Kylo kicks him in the leg and gives him the stare. "I know you are, but what am I?"

"Oof," everyone says, apart from Hunter. "That's three for Makayla." Ian wrote it down. "I don't like to be rude here, but as I always say, if people are rude to me I'm rude back." I reply with a smile. "You're good at this." Hunter compliments. "Thanks."

I went outside after that. I brought my phone and earbuds to listen to music. My stomach felt way better now that I don't feel like vomiting. Once I got out there, I plugged my earbuds in and found my playlist. I put Grace Kelly by Mika and put it on shuffle. I laid down in the sun and closed my eyes.

I didn't sing, but listened to the song. It's a really good song. Tears Are Not Enough by Northern Lights came on. I sang along. I love this song. I'm all alone outside. I stopped the music to see Ethan coming outside all alone. "Hi Makayla."

"Hi Ethan."

He came to sit with me. "So, are you happy that you're still alive?"

"Yes I am. Whoever the killer is, thanks for not killing me." Ethan's voice sounded like he was praying. "You did good beating Hunter three times. I don't think anyone could do that."

"To be honest, I wasn't even trying. I just say the words and it just comes out of my mouth."

"Wow. Well you did good for not even trying."

We just sat there in silence. Ian comes running out yelling at us. "Hey guys. Come in right now. There's something wrong!"

We both looked at each other and ran to the purple pod doors. We follow Ian down through the pod and the hallways. "What Happened- Oh my god!" I say jumping back. There lies Miles's, Aria's, Evan's, Andrew's, and Elaina's bodies. Laying in a row, like they were when we found them dead. Kylo and Hunter were on the other side of them. I know for a fact that the killer wouldn't do this.

There's someone else with us who did this.
