Once again, the guests all were guided to the dining table by the side of the pool outside the main resort building. Each of them had seemingly forgotten about Mike's body being found there a couple of days prior, and just tried to focus on their food.
They didn't get to focus for long however, as Giles soon appeared.
Everyone stopped eating and waited for Giles to rip into the envelope which would hold the letter supplied by the killer. It didn't take long for Giles to clear his voice and project so all could hear.
"Congratulations to..."
Everyone looked in the direction of Brett & Chantal.
"Brett! You are spared for tonight. For the rest of you, please sit back and listen while Giles talks you all through what you didn't know."
"Congrats to the power couple." Mary said sarcastically under her breath.
Chantal squeezed Brett's hand in congratulations before preparing herself to hear how Jeremy died.
"After a long amount of consideration the night of the last meal, I decided to ultimately kill off Jeremy. I was able to easily enter his room with my master key card, which gives me access to any room on the island. Thankfully, once I entered, Jeremy was sound asleep. Using my vile of general anesthetic, I was able to quickly knock out Jeremy. Using a wheelchair, I was able to wheel Jeremy out of his room and eventually was able to exit with him out of the front doors. After a short time of wheeling, I arrived at my destination. Lifting a lever from a section of uneven ground, I entreated my underground lair. I like to call my little liar 'the house of wax'. If you were lucky to enter today, you would see several mannequins were covered in hot wax. Jeremy would become my first wax doll. Sitting him in my seat contraption, I was able to practically fry Jeremy alive with the hot wax. The wax stripped his own skin and made a layer of its own substance for a second skin. I then left Jeremy overnight for the wax to settle. The next morning, I collected the director the next morning and hung him in Giles's suite once I made sure he wasn't inside anymore. For those who investigated the crime scene, they would have noticed the blood splatter was in the opposite direction of the body. I used pigs blood. Eventually, the body was discovered, and the top bet for the killer was hung out to dry. Your killer."

Giles the butler didn't waste any time and opened the second letter which revealed the order of the names.
"Chantal, please reveal your fate first."
Chantal was , which wasn't a shock for anyone as she and Brett both solved the riddle.
"Kristina?"
Kristina anxiously clasped her drink. This was the first time she properly feared she could be scared. However, after the drink was done, the gymnast found out she was.
"Kendra?"
The model was glad to have some champagne down her throat again. However, once she found out her fate she dropped the glass. For the third time, she was .
"Why does this always happen to me?!" Kendra was furious as she squeezed the glass in her hand.
Grace tried to comfort the younger alliance member, however, the blonde snapped the authors hand away.
"I'm fine," Kendra's voice trembled.
"Grace?"
"Troy?"
Troy was as well, even though he really doubted his chances of surviving.
This left two. Mary & Cecilia. The two alliance members were up against one another. Only one would be spared and one would be scared.
"Mary?"
The eldest guest grabbed her champagne glass and started to slush it down. Cecilia kept her eyes glued on the glass as she liquid evaporated more and more.
Eventually, Mary found out she was
Cecilia took a quiet sigh of relief after finding out Mary's fate, and tipped her champagne on the floor before revealing that she
Mary let out a couple of tears while Kendra sat slouched in anger.
"It appears that Miss Clarke or Mrs Banes will be the next to die. The killer has informed me that we will be having an early start tomorrow morning. Attendance at the resort spa building and 7 AM is mandatory, any late arrivals will not be tolerated. Goodnight guests." With that, Giles left the eight on the dining table, which had an uncomfortable silence ridden through it from the top to the bottom.

As usual, Brett & Chantal left the table together. They both headed off to Chantal room, as normal for the two over the past few days.
Kristina & Troy celebrated not being scared at the 24 hour self service bar on one of the building balcony's (the same bar Aubrey's body was flung off during the first day) From the balcony, the siblings invited the female alliance to join them. However, the female alliance parted ways. Cecilia & Grace joined the siblings at the bar while Mary & Kendra separated to their rooms.
The two females were terrified at the prospect of their lives being cut short by a sadistic killer. Kendra had gotten a bit used to it by now, however Mary could barely sleep that night. Yes, she was the oldest and had lived a good life. But she wanted to live through the game, she wanted to make it out.
That very night, the killer made their decision on who to kill off. It was a very hard decision for many reasons, many factors came across the killers mind for keeping or killing either guest. But once they made their mind up, they were dead set on the victim. The killer was about to claim its sixth victim.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
