Tao awoke to sunlight illuminating his features. The warm rays of light shone through the tree's leaves and cast bright green beams onto the forest floor, where tiny bugs made their way about, clutching pieces of leaf litter, twigs and the like. It was beautiful and for a moment Tao just relaxed and stared up at the robin's egg blue sky, dotted with fluffy cotton ball clouds that carelessly drifted through the air. It was pretty enough to distract him from the bloodstains on the ground, or the fact that he had watched his best friend die. So Tao just stared, caught up in trying to forget. He was snapped out of his blissful thoughts by a metallic voice.

       "Subject found." the odd words rang out, clear and heavy in the dry air. Tao raised in eyebrow in confusion at the robotic voice, until fireballs disrupted the cool forest peace.

      "Holy ! Run!" Tao yelled to no one but himself. He was not planning on dying today. Tao quickly picked himself up off the sunlight rock, grabbing his wushu stick, and ran before the tips of burning fireballs burnt his skin. Tao's heart seemed to beat twice as fast, and his legs hit the ground hard in his desperate attempt to live. Eventually all of his running did him well as he pounded into a smaller boy.

       "ACK!" Jongdae screamed loudly, losing all traces of stealth when a taller body slammed into him. The shorter boy fell onto the ground, winded. Tao's eyes widened, worrying that he had hurt the elder male. Luckily Jongdae was just surprised, and smiled at the Chinese man.

       "Oh my god Jongdae I'm so happy to see you because someone killed Kris and then I started crying and then he disappeared and now robots are trying to kill me oh my god save me there is fire everywhere." Tao blurted out much too fast, his accented words running together. Jongdae quickly nodded and opened his mouth to speak when fireballs began to zoom past. The two swiftly picked themselves up and ran in terror.

    "Slept well?" Junhong asked Jongup. The elder nodded and rubbed his eyes. Yongguk was still staring at the plastic spoon he had gotten as a weapon.

       "I wonder who else died." Yongguk looked up at the maknae line, putting his 'weapon' down. Junhong shrugged and Jongup gulped. And as if the world had decided to answer Yongguk's question, Eunseok's voice rang out through speakers.

       "So far, the dead are Kris, Himchan, Daehyun, Joonmyun, Jaehyo and Say. All of the dead contestants have been removed from the playing field extremely quickly so don't expect to find any bodies. Good luck to those contestants who survived!" Eunseok said in her usually emotionless, ice cold voice. Yongguk nodded deeply after each of the names, wincing as if he was in actual pain at the call of Himchan's name. Yongguk had always been particularly fond of Himchan, the man was his shoulder to lean on when he was down, and was alwas there to cheer him up with a stupid joke and an even dumber grin.

      "How did Daehyun die?" Jongup carefully questions, scratching the back of his head. Yongguk quickly shrugged with an equally puzzled expression on his face.

       "He said he needed to use the restroom but someone shot him. Too bad they didn't tell us the killers' names, then we can get revenge. At least Youngjae is alive! We can find him and team up." Junhong chirped full of fake cheer, trying to be optimistic. Jongup couldn't help but smile, the younger tried hard to make sure everyone was happy, even when he wasn't up to it.

       "Oh look, it's Juni's bag. I guess she left it here." Say said to nobody in particular. Say grabbed the paper bag, pilfering through it. She had lingered around by the school, where she and her bandmates had split up. Say had figured that if she hung around the school she would be left alone and could survive without killing anyone, which was the best outcome.

       "God it's hot. Might as well drink some water." Say mumbled to herself, wiping the beads of sweat that were quickly forming off her brow. She really needed a haircut, her long bangs kept getting in her eyes. And it wasn't like her throwing spear was any good for cutting her thick hair. Say slowly uncapped the large bottle of water as if it could kill her and tentatively took a small sip. Puzzled at the odd taste, she inspected the bottle to see if there was anything wrong with it. Finding no flaws she shrugged, picking herself up off the concrete ledge after swallowing another big gulp and started the trek down a woodland path. Within hours she fell over dead, the toxins flowing through her bloodstream had done their job well.

        Kristine woke up in a bad mood. She had a crick in her neck from sleeping in a small alcove she found in a rock ledge. She slowly sighed, trying to fix her aching neck. Eventually she gave up and then rummaged through her large paper bag for a piece of beef jerky and a cracker. Finding her breakfast, she began to eat as she started her journey through the woods. She had people to see, lives to end. The thing was, with poison you have to get near people, you can't kill from a distance. This was extremely dangerous, but Kristina was awfully good with her words.

       Kristine had been walking for a long while when she realized that if she were to sneak into a group she should have her poison ready. So she sat down on a conveniently placed tree stump. Kristine grabbed her large vial of the deadly poison and needles. The needles were attached to fake nails, so when she whipped her fingers out they extended far out enough to stab people nearby.Smiling at the cleverness of this nifty invention she applied the fake nails and dipped them into her poison. Kristine then began walking again, and ended up walking a circle at least three times.

       But when Kristine was about to give up due to her extreme frustration she stumbled upon no other than Byun Baekhyun. And next to Baekhyun there was Sehun and Chanyeol. Perfect, unsuspecting prey standing completely unprotected and ignorant of their swiftly approaching doom. She could easily kill them and move onto the next group of people, repeating a deadly cycle.

      "Oh my god! It's three members of Exo! I'm a huge fan!" Kristine shrieked in a falsely enthusiastic voice. Baekhyun, Sehun and Chanyeol whipped around to hear the girl from Evol speak cheerfully.

       "Oh, it's really nice to meet you too! It's great to meet other idols. Do you want to team up?" Baekhyun said while smiling genuinely. Kristine nodded vigorously, her plan was working out much better than she actually expected. Things worked out even better when Baekhyun pulled her into a hug, and she got the chance to dig her needles deep into his back. The fool didn't even notice the ten unsuspecting needles slide into and out of his back.

      "Join the team, noona! What weapon did you get?" Sehun asked kindly, trying not to stare at her. Kristine was pretty to say the least and she was nice.

     "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't get any weapons at all. But I am a good cook!" Kristine chirped in her best attempt to be a cute fangirl. It seemed to work as Sehun blushed and smiled a smile that could rival Chanyeol's 'teeth rich' grin.

       "Hmm...that's odd. I remember her getting something..." Chanyeol muttered quietly to himself. There was something off about Kristine, he just couldn't seem to put his finger on it. He was probably just overreacting and being ridiculous. The fact that he had killed Joonmyun still put him on edge.

        Minhyuk woke up with Taeil on top of him. The elder had fallen from his branch of the tree and landed on him, all while sleeping. Sighing gently, Minhyuk moved the elder boy to the other side of the branch. Minhyuk then looked around to see if anyone else was awake. He spotted Kyung yawning on one of the top branches. Minhyuk slowly climbed up higher to meet his younger friend.

      "Hey, how's it going? Did you sleep well?" Minhyuk asked, nudging the sleepy boy.

      "Mhm. But I have a question... If Jaehyo died first, who do you think will die next?" Kyung asked, scratching a mosquito bite on hispale wrist.

       "Maybe Jihoon. He's too naive for this. He's probably going to be trapped and killed. Shame, he's quite entertaining." Minhyuk said coldly. He felt the same aura coming from Kyung, the ruthless intensity and seriousness that Minhyuk felt also emanated from the younger boy.

       "We should probably split up. I have a bad feeling." Kyung said quietly. Minhyuk nodded in agreement as the younger leapt down through the tree branches.

       "I'm going to scout around." Chaerin clutched her dagger, exiting the house. She looked around before hopping off the weathered front porch and into the soft green grass that brushed up against her shiny black uniform shoes. Chaerin's eyes narrowed when she heard a sound rumbling through the woods.

       "Whoever's there, come out before I shoot you." Chaerin lied, the words clumsily slipping from in fear that she would be killed.

       "Too bad I have a gun too." The female voice chuckled from the woods. Chaerin gulped in fear, desperately hoping that the girl in the woods was lying too.

       "I won't shoot if you walk out of the woods and please refrain from shooting me as well." Chaerin feigned calmness, hoping the other female couldn't hear her fear. Luckily the other woman walked out of the woods, pistol held at her side.

      "So you don't have a gun...you were lying. You know, I really do hate liars. Not enough to kill them but..." Juni's words trailed off as she raised her pistol to shoot Chaerin in the stomach.

      Chaerin gasped, trying not to cry. The shock of being shot in the stomach quickly faded and was filled instead with a sharp pain that ate away at her, and she quickly gave up on being tough. Tears flowed down her face as she cursed at Juni. The other female just chuckled and slipped back into the dark clutches of the forest.

      "Damn it! I left my spear on the dock!" Yixing yelled, stomping through the large boat's singular hall.       "Why would you do that ?" Jongin asked, snickering at the angry elder.

     "Yixing ignore him. Just go out there and get your spear and return back as swiftly as possible, OK?" Luhan calmly stated from the kitchen. Yixing slowly nodded and exited the large boat.

     To say that Youngjae had a rough night of sleep would be an understatement. He had slept on top of a ship, and it was taking it's toll on his back, which constantly ached. He was going to have to find a new hideout soon, but at the moment he had higher priorities. He had heard voices coming from the boat in the night, and there was a spear left on the dock. And thus his plan was born.

     "Damn. I can't find my spear." Yixing sighed, running a hand through his hair. He had searched all of the dock and there was no trace of the weapon.

       Just as he was walking back into the boat he spied his spear up top. Yixing's face lit up like a lightbulb and he climbed up the boat only to see Youngjae.

      "Oh hi there! You seem to ha-mmmpf" Yixing's words were mumbled through Youngjae's hand.

     "Shhhh. Be quiet now." Youngjae whispered to Yixing softly as he pointed the pistol to Yixing's temple. A gunshot rang quickly, and the light quickly faded from Yixing's eyes. It was like a candle being put out. Youngjae, who was now worrying that people had heard him, leapt off the boat and sprinted into the woods.

     Baekhyun shivered in the warm sunlight. He hadn't felt well for an hour or so, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. But this biting cold kept enveloping him, dragging his steps out and weighing him down, like wearing lead clothing.

       "Are you okay?" Chanyeol asked him, a look of concern painting his face.

     "I think I just came down with a twenty-four hour bug, nothing much. Don't worry." Baekhyun grimaced when a wave of pain hit him from a headache.

       "Maybe you should sit down." Sehun offered, gesturing to a large flat rock. Baekhyun sat down on it and his teammates began to set up camp. 

     As Baekhyun watched them get to work he began to feel hot and then cold. His pounding headache turned into a migraine, and the nausea got worse. Baekhyun put two fingers to his neck to check his pulse and almost jumped out of his skin when he found it beating erratically. He was going to call Chanyeol over when his throat started to close up and it got hard to breath. Then the burning sensation came back and before Baekhyun knew it he was dead.

     "Have you guys seen Chaerin?" Bom asked, looking around the kitchen. Victoria shook her head, and Luna, who was cooking breakfast, shook her's too. The rest of the girls let out a chorus of 'no's, 'nope's, 'nada's and 'uh-uh's.

        "I'll go check outside." Victoria quickly offered when Bom looked like she was worrying. Bom nodded and smiled, beginning to set the table.

     Victoria clutched the gun to her chest like a baby holds it's favorite stuffed animal. Holding the cold metal weapon seemed to give her a sense of power and importance. Bracing herself for the absolute worst, she stepped outside only to be greeted with the metallic smell of blood.

       Victoria glanced at Charein's bloody corpse and immediately felt the need to vomit. She sprinted back inside, tears forming at the corners of her eyes and when asked, pointed out the window to show what caused her surprise and horror. All of her sense of security fled in a nanosecond at the sight of Chaerin's bloody corpse. 

     "Whoever did this will die." Dara's intense words didn't match her petite body as she scowled angrily.

     "Kyung! Wait up! Waaaaaiiiiiit upppppp!" Jiho wailed, sprinting after the redhead. The slightly elder had decided to depart from the group, and Jiho wasn't going to let him die.

       "Leave me alone Jiho. Stick with the rest of the group, they need a leader much more than I do." Kyung growled, shoving Jiho away. The leader had been getting increasingly more annoying as time went on and Kyung wanted to distance himself from his former friend.

       "I'm sure Minhyuk can handle it. Besides, there's something I wanted to tell you." Jiho said, awkwardly running in front of Kyung.

       "Well I don't want to hear it." Kyung retorted angrily at the boy in the awkwardly fitted uniform.

      "I guess I can save it for tomorrow..." Jiho mumbled quietly to himself.
