Rainsford face shone with brightness as if a door to heaven was opened. Peacefully, he awakened to another day of his life, not like General Zaroff that had died the night before. He was alone in a mansion, in the middle island, where hours ago he could have died. Was Rainsford really alone on the island? Looking out the window, he saw the sea with no longer a curse that trapped many people to their death game. Viewing the calmness of the sea was like being in the water the night he had fallen off the yacht but all of that was past him. Feeling happy that he was alive and his soul was clear, he walked down the stairs to the living room. There he sat for a few hours and reflected on everything that had happened a few days ago. While approaching the front door Rainsford heard a familiar noise coming from the sea. Walking out to the coast of the sea Rainsford was in the biggest shock of his life. Approaching him on a yacht was Whitney with an enormous smile similar to the Grinch's smile. Rainsford was stunned and
confused and a bit happy at the same time. He was relieved to see Whitney, his way of thinking had changed while being hunted by General Zaroff. Understanding what Whitney had said to him about animals having feelings was clear to him. “Whitney?!” Rainsford said, “how in the world did you find me.” “Rainsford, I’m glad you are alive while on this island!” Whitney exclaimed, “Knowing you would find land, I remembered the island we were closest to.
Everything happened quickly didn't think twice to check if you were still on.” “ However, I have to ask how are you still alive; I thought the island would have swallowed you whole by now.” Whitney continued, “But...you and me share different intentions of our happiness of seeing each other.” “What do you mean by different intentions?” Rainsford questioned. “ I would have never thought of you as a gullible man, Rainsford” Whitney explained, “ Zaroff did not make it out of this one alive, I guess he underestimated you.” Rainsford mixed with many thoughts and emotions declared “ Zaroff, how do you know who and what he did!” “Zaroff was a companion of mine and instead of him, you are supposed to be dead.” Whitney
confessed. Rainsford, a bird in midair that just discovered that his wings were cut off. “What, the two of you planned to kill me!” Rainsford exclaimed. Whitney, not wasting any time, pulled out his weapon and fired towards Rainsford. Missing his shot, it gave Rainsford time to run towards safety while he was trying to processes everything. 7 Birds flew in the sky as if they were being chased by the air above Rainsford zooming towards the house. He was heading to the front door, when he realized that it was not only whitney and him on the island. Other people, were to be hunted by Zaroff were still stuck here, Whitney was catching up to him.

Whitney was nowhere in sight seen but Rainsford still kept a close eye out for him. They were getting close to the shore but they stopped when they saw Whitney waiting for them. “ I have to admit that I may not be a skilled of a hunter but I can still fire a gun.” “Why are you doing this Whitney,” Rainsford spoke, “ this isn’t like you, do not do anything that you will regret just put the gun down,” “ NO! GO!” Whitney screamed, “I do not know what is happening to me, go now before I kill you.” “ I can get you the help you need.” Rainsford proclaimed. “You do not know the torture I went through,” Whitney claim, “I no longer can live like this.” Out of nowhere, Whitney raised the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
