Emille was shoved and pushed through a dark tunnel. He could barely see. His neck was in pain from where the syringe had gone. His hands were in chains behind his back as a man lead him through. He heard a faint chant of what sounded like a thousand people cheering above him. Where was he?

He felt the chains loosen and fall completely off. A light turned on and he spun around revealing a man standing in front of him with and he didn't have a friendly face.

"What is this?" Emille asked. The man slowly approached Emille and he began backing up until his back touched the wet damp wall. The strange man raised a fist and sent it into Emilles gut. He fell back unable to breathe. Gasping for air Emille held out a hand trying to make him stop. The man pulled Emille back to his feet shortly before landing a punch in the temple of his forehead. Emilles world was spinning. He couldn't see straight. Everything was blurry and not right. His head felt like a knife had gone through it. He couldn't talk either. The pain was to much. He tried to straighten out his stance but couldn't. He felt himself get knocked over again. He heard a crack in his ribs and fell to the ground. His chest was bleeding he could feel it. What hit him?

He pulled up his tank top and saw a small stream of blood trickle down his chest. He couldn't do anything. He lay there helplessly taking the pain. It felt like he was being shot over and over and he would never die. It felt like someone was kicking him in the head without knowing it. That's when a light shone on his face. He heard a loud roar. He felt the heat of the sun on his chest.

He was breathing heavily and sweating. yells and screams filled his ears. He felt a hand on his shoulder but couldn't see who it was. He felt himself getting hotter and dizzier. The screams became muffling noises.

"Emille!" Julie yelled happily. He didn't look good thought something wasn't right. His tank top was coated with blood. She lifted his tank top and saw scratches all over. She put pressure on the deepest cut and Emille let out a painful groan. She quickly took her hands off of it. She heard a rumbling noise as another gate began opening. She stood up ready to fight.

A four legged beast jumped out of the cage. It was big, very big. It was a greyish colour and had grey eyes. Its back had a lair of silver fur and it had three horns jutting out its face. The creature growled in anger and began to run full speed at them. It was slow at first but picked up speed quickly. The ground in front of Julie was shaking. Last second she dove out of the way and summer salted to safely. The beast stopped sliding a few inches barely missing Emille who lay in pain half awake. The crowd booed at Julie's narrow escape. She dusted herself off as the rhino type creature prepared for another charge.

The creature yelled in fury and ran full speed towards Julie. She dived out of the way again and this time The creature swung its head out to the side slamming into Julie hip. She flew forward landing on her stomach getting a faceful of dirt.

She quickly regained her ground and backed up to a wall. She felt up the wall for something to climb up. The crowd booed at her actions but began cheering again as the beast prepared for another charge. There was nothing for Julie to grab on to. The creature ran full speed at her growling. She crouched down until the rhino was literally a foot away from her. She jumped up doing a flip and landing on the back of the creature. The crowd ignited in boos again. The rhino began trying to shake her off in every possible away. There! She saw a spear half barried in sand, maybe she could steer the creature towards the spear and pick it up.

She kicked the rhino in the side and it reacted like a horse, running faster. She reached down to its face and grabbed a horn trying to steer it. The crowd turned into a mix of cheers and boos. The creature turned slightly but just enough for Julie to grab the spear from the dirt and she did. The beast was turning in circles violently thrusting side to side.

Julie raised one hand up and plunged the spear through the creatures thick skin and into the skull of the rhino. She jumped off and landed lightly and watched the scene unfold. The rhino slowed down as blood dripped from its mouth. Suddenly the beast collapsed dead and the crowd was silent. Julie raised a hand in victory and to her surprise the crowd erupted in a cheer. Julie smiled forgetting about Emille.

"Master Briston, the girl, she uh defeated the jyck." A small hunched over man said.

Briston slammed his fist down on his desk in anger. He listened to the cheers outside and stood up.

"The people aren't supposed to be cheering that shes alive they are supposed to cheer when she's dead!" He yelled pacing back and forth.

"Release the galler." He whispered. The mans eyes widened in terror.

"But sir we haven't tested security measures yet its not safe." The man mumbled.

"I don't care the girl and the boy are supposed to be dead so I want it that way!" He yelled in rage.

"Now..." He calmed down.

"Release the galler."
