Day 6

[Kimber Beck]

Kimber looks to Jaden, uncertain of what to do.

"So we have three people passed out. Fenelen for obvious reasons. David I'm guessing needs more medication. I have no idea why Millie passed out. Has she eaten or had water recently? The hell happened to Mallory?"

[Jaden Fox]

Jaden's heart stops when he sees Mallory's face lit up in the sky. She was the quietest one of the group, and hadn't yet been given a chance to shine in the games, but Jaden had momentarily felt some attraction for the girl during the training days. He had looked forward to getting to know her while they traveled through the arena, but now she was gone and he couldn't help feeling guilty.

"We should have gone back for her when she didn't show up on the island!"

Now his teammates and Fenlen were dropping to the ground as if some plague had hit the island. Jaden felt sick too, but he knew it was only because of Mallory's death. He was fine. And so was Kimber.

"There must be something on this island. Maybe it's the water pool on the island to the east. Maybe Mallory stayed there too long and drank too much of the poisonous water."

Jaden pulls his water bottle and unscrews the top, ready to pour out the contents, but he stops. 'Don't make rash decisions,' he tells himself. 'There has to be a logical reason for this. I've been drinking the same water.'

"Millie, what have you been eating? Any idea how old our meat is? What about poisonous herbs? Could you have eaten those by mistake?"

[Kimber Beck]

Kimber felt a bit of a chill. She needed to build another fire. Hopefully David would be able to help with that again. A shelter would be needed more if it got any colder.

Jaden didn't seem to be taking Mallory's death too well. She reached out her hand to try and comfort him in some way, but then pulled back, deciding to cross her arms instead.

"Whatever happened to Millie and David we need to decide if we move or stay here and try to build a shelter. It couldn't have been the water if we haven't passed out yet. We cooked the meat so that much should be fine." Kimber shook her head. She couldn't figure it out.

"We may have bought a day with Fenlen, but we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Should we try talking to him again?"

[David Spanial]

"uuuh... No, I didn't..."

David tosses and turns as his unconscious cries become stronger.

"Here... Here this will help... Uuuh... Better... I made it better... IT WAS BETTER!!!" David flails wildly!

He cringes through his words.
"No one... They weren't helping! No one was helping... I... I helped HER."

...

David's body suddenly relaxes. He becomes calm for a brief moment.


"Yes Bella... Yes Bella we can... We will go hunt... Again."

David trails off as his body continues to twitch erratically. There is no telling when he could wake up.

[Millie Cartwright]

Millie groaned softly, "The last thing I had to eat was an herb David shared with me yesterday..."

She wiped some cold sweat from her forehead, "It stands to reason that we were both poisoned that night..." Breathing heavily she continued, "I'm going to need some medicine. If any of you have some that would be nice. If not I can ask my sponsors."

"But what is our plan for today?"

[Millie Cartwright]

Millie stared at the ceiling as she laid on her back,"I can't really look around right now but does anyone know where we can travel? Because this island is not going to last much longer."

[Jaden Fox]

"We need to keep this island from sinking or head East. I think this island has better benefits, but it might be worthwhile to head back East and refill these water bottles before we start dying of thirst."

"And Millie, since you mentioned David sharing that herb with you, I've been thinking back. Is it just me or is it weird that EVERY day David made a point to share food with you?"

Jaden walks over to David, who lays unconscious. He goes through his backpack and pulls out David's little vial he often took drops of oil from.

"And what about this? What's he keeping in here anyway?"

[Millie Cartwright]

((I'm really busy tonight so I'm going to trust Jayden to come up with a strategy tonight.))

[Kimber Beck]

Kimber stared at Jaden. Distrust was a toxic seed. It didn't lead to good things. She should know.

Kimber walked up to Jaden, taking the vial away from him so he would focus on something else. "You make some good points, but we can't worry about that now. We need to figure out how to help Millie and David. We either need to find an herb or hope that our sponsors will send us something useful. I will travel to the east if you want and replenish the water bottles. Everyone else can stay here and sandbag and try to find an herb that will help. We should have enough meat to allow us a day for gathering. How does that sound?"

[Millie Cartwright]

"Sounds good," Millie said smiling weakly. "We will make a stand here and sand bag what we can."
