The traitors

// TWO //

We all put our hoods up as we heard a knock on the door. Seconds later, another hooded figure walked in and stood between Harry and me. After a moment or two, Miles took his hood off, and we followed suit. His jaw dropped.

"Welcome to the dark side," Harry said, laughing.

"Oh my gosh, I'm baffled. Absolutely baffled," Miles said, looking around at us all.

"I had absolutely no idea it would be those four who chose me, so yeah," Miles said to the camera.

"You were top right at the top," Paul said.

"Really?" Miles asked.

"Miles being brought in has strengthened us an unbelievable amount. He's a big personality, strong-willed, and amazingly loyal." (Paul)

"Did you suspect anything from any of us?" I asked, curious to see an outsider's view.

"No, none of you," he responded.

"It puts me in the game. I'm excited," Miles says. "I wanna be the last man standing and have all the money. Game on."

"Now that you're here, we have a little job to do, innit," Ash says, chuckling.

"People who won a shield tonight: obviously Kyra, Jaz, and somehow I've won a shield as well," Harry begins.

"Wonderful," Paul says.

"It's like proper traitor snake style," I say, with Ash and Miles agreeing and Harry smiling at me.

"So they're off the table," I continued.

"You know who I was thinking? Ants, he got a bit spiky before," Paul begins.

"He did," Miles agrees."He switched on Zack, so what you have to remember as well is people potentially banishing themselves. If he keeps switching on people, then mostly he'll get himself voted off."

"Something weird that happened this morning was Sonja at the breakfast table, and she's like, 'Are you a traitor?' and she started laughing," Ash told us all.

"I honestly believe she's harmless," Harry chimes in.

"No, no, no," Ash says.

"Sonja has got a big following," Paul thinks out loud.

"This evening Aubrey was also like, 'I have suspicions,' " Ash added on to what she was saying.

"Aubrey watches from a distance, that's been his game plan since day one. I think he's purposely keeping himself at a distance," Harry adds.

"This is what we don't want, the separate groups," Harry finishes.

We wrote the note, sealed it with a bit of wax, and handed it to Claudia without a word and headed back to the hotel.

NEXT DAY:

For some reason, I was nervous for breakfast. I don't know why. I know who's still here and who's gone.

When I arrived at the breakfast room, I was one of the first people to walk in with Jonny and Charlotte.

"Aubrey's gone," Charlotte said once she realized.

"If you think about it, it really makes it real now," I heard Ash say from down the table.

"Good morning, everyone," Claudia said as she walked into the room. "Although it isn't everyone, Aubrey has been killed—the first person murdered."

AROUND THE CASTLE:

Yesterday during the challenge, Mollie and I became quite close. We sat in the games room, engaging in a conversation about who we suspected were traitors.
