Terry stiffened up and felt extremely awkward. He could not stand girls crying. "Um," he said gruffly, "I'm glad that you--um--aren't going to play." He stared down at his feet and shuffled them back and forth before looking up again. "H-how about you drink some of your wate...

Her last comment brought up memories of Terry's mother; whacking him with her belt when he was five because he had hidden her bottle of alcohol so she couldn't get drunk again, getting an equally severe beating when the police brought him home after he had run away the first time. She probably was h...

Terry absorbed the information for a moment, thinking back to his Literature class (second time with Mrs. O'Dea) which he had been sitting in only a few days ago. Hawley was that kid that had that scar on his neck, who seemed even quieter then Terry. Helena was that reddish-blonde girl. Pretty big b...

He nodded in agreement, "Yes, August, you really have to be careful. You're lucky that you didn't run into someone who'd have no problem shooting you dead on the spot. I'm sure there are a lot of people playing already," he said solemnly. Terry honestly had still not decided if he was up t...

"Is it April?" he asked because he really didn't know her name too well.

"I'm Terry Woodard. Sorry about that whole thing, but you can't be too careful in this 'game'," he said honestly.

Terry couldn't help but smile as she showed him her weapon. Almost as pathetic as a boxcutter, he thought to himself. Well, at least she really thinks I have a gun. And I always used to think I couldn't lie to save my life, the irony of his thought wasn't lost on him and he laughed to himself in the...

Terry had been studying the map that had been included in his pack very intensely when he was startled by a sudden noise. The door knob was moving, someone was trying to get in. Terry stuck his head out the window and noticed a girl trying to knock the door in. What is her name again? April or somet...

Terry woke up with a start, and the memory of the events that had taken place on the plane came flooding back to him. Immediately he understood the severity of the situation. All of his classmates would go in but only one could come out alive. The idea didn't appeal to him in the slightest. Despite ...

Anya stared down horrified as the girl wrapped herself around her. She tried to pry her arms off but it was hopeless. "I think we should all split up," she said directing the statement at Gabrielle, "nothing good came of this alliance." She finally managed to rip the girl's arms ...

Anya stared down at the body of the boy. She pressed her hand firmly over her mouth trying not to throw up. Poor Syd . She had just met him and she wasn't even sure if she liked him or trusted him for that matter but she had felt sorry for him. Somewhere deep in the back of her mind she couldn't hel...

As Xian ran past Anya fell against the wall moving out of her way and her finger squeezed the trigger of her gun by accident. It have an empty click and she breathed a sigh of relief glancing down at it. Thank god I had the safety on, she thought shoving in down the back of her jeans for safekeeping...

Anya shot a quick gland at Gabrielle before following him into the hallway, first picking her weapon up off the floor. As she entered the room where Xian and Syd had retreated to minutes before she saw Syd lying on the ground bleeding, and Tayli looking shocked and holding her gun. "Holy shit w...

Anya screamed as the gun went off and nearly wet herself but regained her composure a moment later. She brushed the plaster out of her hair in a "dignity at all times" sort of way and opened up yet another bottle of gin downing it in an instant and staring into the hallway waiting for Syd ...

Anya blinked back at him boredly and pulled out another bottle of alcohol. She held it out offering it to Tayli and figuring she'd turn it down anyway drank it without waiting for a response. "This is all ridiculous," Anya thought to herself. She was sitting, weaponless essentially even th...

Anya had watched the whole scene wide-eyed and silent from a corner. As Xian left and Syd followed she suddenly remembered that she still had her bag on her shoulder. She dropped it onto her lap and searched through it pulling out another bottle of gin, thinking that joining this group might have be...
