Chapter ten

He came in after the kill to see who's up and he knew it was me. "Hey. How was the kill?"

"Good." I took a drink and hugged him and rested my head on his chest. His arms wrapped around me. He leaned back against the closed door. Tears start rolling down my face and hug him tighter. He notices and rubs my back and says, "It's going to be ok, honey. It's going to be ok."

I got picked up by him and laying in his arms, wrapped my arms around his neck. Didn't realize this but he's carrying me back to my room and I was falling asleep. The killer laid me down, kissed me in the cheek and started to leave when I caught his hand and held it.

"Please don't go." I whispered tiredly. He knelt down beside me. "You want me to stay?" I nodded. He sat on the arm of the couch, stroking my hair. I fell asleep without saying goodnight. I woke up with the killer gone. I got up and went for breakfast. Once I got to the green pod, I checked Grace's room and there she is, lying on the ground dead, with the blood all over and I could see her leg bone sticking right up. Thanks killer for killing her, I thought to myself.

I found Kylo in the food room alone on his Ipad. Looks like he's already eaten and just chilling away. I walk in silently trying not to disturb him. Not paying attention, daydreaming again, I trip over a chair and fall flat on my face. He looks up immediately to see what happened. "Are you ok?" 

"Nope."

It was hard getting up. I can feel the blood rushing out of my nose. I grab on to a table and hoist myself up, as he's watching me struggle. "You know, you could help me instead of watching."

"I know. It's hilarious watching you struggling, though."

"Your no help."

"I know."

He's sitting there giggling at me. I started walking towards the counter and all I could feel was his hands go right into my ribcage.

"Ahh." I scream out. "Why?"

"Don't know."

Walking to the fridge to grab something to eat, I hear a scream. A loud one, like right outside the door, screams. I turn around and Kylo's is already at the door to see who died. I ran after him to see who died too. When I got there at the door. I see a knife stabbed into Irene 's back.

"Oh my god." I say with shock. "She's gone." Kylo says surprised too.

Ethan and Alice came out running to see who screamed. "Oh my god. Irene 's gone," replied Alice. "If she's gone, then how many of us are left?" asked Ethan.

"Well there's us four plus Elaina, Autumn, and Hunter, Carter and Claire which is eight. There's Ian, Colton and Gurpreet which is eleven." Kylo starts to say but never finishes.

"Isaac and Quinn which is fourteen." I continued.

"What about Grace?" Alice questioned.

"She's gone. Come take a look." I led them to her room and had them take a look.

"Wow. Poor girl." "I know."

"How many nights do we have left." I ask. "Umm..... eight more nights I believe." answered Kylo. "Who did this?" Alice asked. "Wasn't me." "Or me." "Definitely not me." I say raising my hands like I got caught doing a crime. "Well, whoever it is, needs to stop."

"Well let's get everyone else up."

"I call blue." I say. I know how to get them up.

"I'll take purple." Alice wants to get purple just so she can get Elaina up.

"I'll get front office girls." replied Ethan.

We all go and get the others while I grab the blow horn and get everyone up. I head over there and I turn on the speaker and say, "Everyone up, we've got to talk about the deaths of Irene and Grace and can prevent anymore kills. Meet in the food room." Blue pod people come out and head down the hall. I made sure that everyone from the blue pod came out and went to the green. I left and followed the others. I felt that someone's watching me from a distance. Chills run down my spine and I don't like it. At some point I ran down the hall to the green pod.

All of us were here and were talking about the deaths of Irene and Grace.

"If anyone spots the murderer or knows who it is, come and tell us so we can and destroy it, and he can feel the pain we go through. Everyone got that?"

At that point I was freaking out. I've seen the killer but can't say anything, and Kylo knows that I've seen him. He says something about it, I'm both dead by them and the killer. It's so hard not to say anything. Once they leave I'm going to talk to Kylo about it and see if he's going to tell them. I hope not or I'm screwed. As usual for these kinds of things, I stayed quiet unless I needed to talk about that thing.

Just listened. It lasted for about an hour and finally, it ended and I got my breakfast. I am starving and I couldn't wait to eat something. Kylo stayed behind and I had to talk to him.

"Kylo. Are you going to tell them about me seeing the murderer?"

"No, I wouldn't do that to you."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

He left and I made myself some eggs on toast. My stomach felt much better. Now I'm thinking how there's only eight more nights and only fourteen of us remaining. It's getting stressful now. I wonder who's going to survive these games, and wondering if I'll ever see the killer again. Thinking of that thought makes me feel upset so I distracted myself. I left the room after I was done and went outside.

"Weird. The sky is still dark."

Wondering what time it was, I went back in to grab my phone. As I made my way over there, I heard that voice again from a few days ago. The voices turned to screams. Loud screams. Ahhhhhh!

My hands went straight to my head. I've got a serious headache. "Stop! Stop stop stop, make it stop!" I cry out. I'm on my knees and someone comes running to me. I can't make out who.
Tears start rolling down my face and whoever is there with me, is trying to comfort me but not doing a good job. "It's ok," the voice said, calmingly. "Makayla. Makayla, are you alright?" I can't tell who's voice that is. It's faded.

All of a sudden, everything goes black.

I wake up in my bed all curled with the blanket over me. The memory was gone and can't remember what had happened and how I got here. My eyes open and I look up to see who's beside me. Elaina and Kylo are there talking quietly. I can't make out what they're talking about. I moan and they both look over at me. I sit up slowly while holding my head. Immediately, I put my head between my knees, hoping it would make it better.

"How are you feeling?" Elaina asked quietly, almost in a whisper. "Ok, I guess. What happened?"

"You can't remember?"

"No."

"Well I heard you screaming 'stop stop make it stop.' I ran to you and you were on the ground in tears, and you passed out after that. So I ran to get Elaina and she grabbed ice while I carried you back here. Your welcome. And you've been here ever since." explained Kylo.

"How long have I been out for?"

"About two hours." Elaina says.

"Oh my god. That's long."

"I know."

"We'll leave you to rest. You need it after what happened."

They left and I was all alone again. I wasn't tired so I grabbed my book and read. I was cold though. I wrapped myself in the blanket and tried to read. Fifteen minutes later, I became droopy and I fell asleep.

I woke up to someone beside my bed. The killer. I jumped up and out and hugged him. "Let's go on the roof, shall we?"

"Sure." We went on the roof. Something odd about him but I didn't care, just glad to see him. He pulled me to the edge and we stood there. He got awfully close to me and I was inches away from falling.

"Have a great death."

"Wait wha-"

He pushed me off before I finished my sentences and I was gone.

I jolted awake. Feeling myself if I'm alive and I was. "I'm alive."

I looked at the time and I was asleep for two more hours. After that nightmare, I'm scared to see him. That's the second time he killed me in a dream. The sweat running down my face tells me that I had a restless rest. The good news was that my head felt better. I jumped out of bed and ran from my room. I can't sleep here any longer than I have to. Down the hall was Kylo. I tried to run beside him, but he saw me and caught me.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Anywhere but in that room."

He was confused. I could tell by the expression on his face. He held me so I wouldn't run away. "Ok, girl, slow down. How's your head?"

"Better. Now would you let me go, please. Your arms are digging into my ribcage."

"Sorry." He let go of me and I tried to make a run for it, but he blocked me.

"You're not going anywhere missy."

"Fine you caught me."

"What happened?"

"I had a nightmare."

"About what?"

"Killer took me onto the roof and he pushed me off. Second time he killed me in a nightmare." I whisper in case anyone's listening.

"Ahh. You should stop seeing the killer." he whispers back.

"But I like him in a way. You know what I mean?"

"Yes, I know what you mean but if you keep having nightmares about him, then you should stop. Honestly, that's what I think you should do. You don't have to but, I'm suggesting it. It's up to you."

"Ok." It's been silent since then. "Umm. Kylo? Can I tell you something."

"Sure."

"I have a feeling that you might be the killer. My gut tells me that you are. Are you?"

"No."

"Ok."

I could tell by his face that he's lying but a really good one too. "I'm heading off with the others outside for about an hour, wanna come?"

"No thanks. Wait it's dark out."

"No it's not. Take a look outside."

I took a look outside and it was midday.

"When I checked, it was dark."

"Must've been your imagination. Anyways, I've got to go now. Bye."

"Bye."

I waited until he left outside. Then I ran to Kylo's room and took a search in his room. I checked the cupboards, under his suitcase, on the shelves, and on his bed. Nothing. I couldn't find anything that would be killer. Something finally caught sight at the corner of my eye. I turned around and there it was. The knife. I went to it and picked it up with my sleeve, being careful I don't leave any marks. I saw bits of dried blood on it. Then I found his clothing, his black hood, jeans and shoes. Also the bacalva. I found out he's the killer but can't say anything to him or he'll know I've snooped through his things.

But I've got to have connections or similarities so I'm not accusing him for someone he's not. I've already found the clothing, but what else do I need to know. I've got an idea. Tonight, I'll wake up real early and see what he does, then I'll ask them the same questions and see what I get. Then I'll write it down and if they're the same answers, I've found out who the killer is. I walk back to my room and hunt down a book so I can write in it and make the connections, and clues that I find. Hope this will work.

Later that day, I was thinking what will happen once these games are done. Will the murderer go to prison, or will he get away with it? Who will survive the games and who'll die in the eight nights? So many questions come to my head. Is Kylo really the killer or not? If not then who is and who am I kissing when I see him?

I hear them coming in from outside. Luckily I had the chance to look and get out of there.
