I sat down against a tree, sighing as I looked around me

I heard a growl, and it was scarily close

I turned

I screamed

Seungmin screamed

Jeongin screamed

We all ran

"What was that thing!?" Seungmin yelled as we ran

"I don't know!" Jeongin cried

"We just need to get away from it or else that'll be it for us!" I shout as we jumped over roots.

We hid behind some trees away from sight and Seungmin agreed to go out and find something to help us against those weird wolf things.

A shiver went down my spine as I thought about dying.

I didn't want it to happen.

At all.

To be honest, everything about these games were horrible, especially the people who enjoy watching this, it's sick. Why would you ever enjoy people suffering and killing people to survive? Why would you enjoy seeing people go through so much pain? I hate everyone who likes this.

I thought about my family, how they were doing. I thought about how they would react knowing how far I've got in these games.

I thought I would be one of the first to die, not in the last nine of us, seven if you don't count Seungmin and Jeongin, who I don't think would ever even try to kill me.

Seungmin had told us to keep an eye out for anything and to walk around for around half an hour before meeting back at the specific spot we agreed on.

Jeongin and I walked slowly through the forest, I let out a long sigh as we kicked through the leaves, "How long do you reckon Seungmin is gonna be?" I ask, looking over to Jeongin, receiving a small shrug from him as we continue to walk. None of us were really talkative we just looked around silently for anything really, we were just trying to occupy ourselves untill Seungmin comes back, hopefully with something good for all of us.

As if out of nowhere, Jeongin perks up and then pulls me back behind a tree as I let out a small, surprise gasp

"Shhhh" Jeongin hissed, putting a hand over my mouth as we watch the events unfold. We both heard the sound of panting and twigs snapping, as well as footsteps hitting the floor at a frantic pace.

I look around to try make out everything that was happening.

Jisung was running into the clearing holding Minho's hand "what the hell is that thing?" Minho asked, completely out of breath, slowing down

"I don't know, but don't slow down Minho, please" Jisung answered, sounding just as breathless.

"I can't run anymore Ji" Minho spoke sorrowfully

I raised an eyebrow.

"Get on my back then!" Jisung shouted, it was followed by a loud growl

Minho gulped and jumped onto Jisung's back, as he kept running, but soon something big caught up to them, the same thing that growled just next to me

Jeongin and I shared a look.

It knocked Jisung over, causing Minho to fly off his back completely "Minho!" Jisung yelled, barely lifting himself off the floor

The wolf pounced on Minho "NO GET OFF HIM!" Jisung screamed, grabbing his throwing knives and quickly throwing it at the wolf, the wolf continued to attack Minho, more vicious after the sudden pain.

Minho flailed around, screaming in pain and blood went everywhere.

Jisung threw more and more knives until he killed the wolf and it fell to the floor.

Jeongin and I watched with wide eyes, were there more of those things?

"Minho! Minho, Minho no!" Jisung shouted between sharp breaths as he crawled to Minho.

Minho was laid on the floor, in a puddle of his , eyes barely open and lips parted a bit

"No" Jisung whispered, grabbing Minho's hand and squeezing it tightly "Minho, come on, stay with me, this wasn't meant to happen Minho no no no Minho" Jisung rambled "you can't die on me I beg! Life can't be this cruel" he said, salty tears leaving his eyes

I looked over at Jeongin, he was watching the scene with a frown on his face, I turned back to what was happening

Minho smiled a small, weak smile and he squeezed Jisung's hand in return "I'm so sorry" Minho uttered quietly "I'm so sorry I've put you through so much pain" he spoke, tears falling down his cheeks as his eyes fluttered closed and a cannon shot sounded loudly and echoed through the trees

Jisung let out a scream on anguish as tears fell uncontrollably out his eyes "DAMN FUCKING WOLVES" he yelled through pained sobs

I heard Jeongin sniff and I looked over at him, a single tear was trickling down his face, I pulled him into a hug as we watched Jisung let go of Minho's hand

He hysterically cried as he stabbed the wolf over and over again in vengeance "I. Hate. You" he said before finally dawdling back over to Minho and just collapsing, his energy had pretty much depleted to 0. I heard him mumble a small, weak 'i love you' before anything else that left his mouth couldn't he heard

"Oh my god" Jeongin whispered softly, making sure to not be caught by Jisung

"That's rough" I muttered to which Jeongin nodded in agreement

"I don't want that to happen to us" Jeongin whispered back, sniffing again, "I'm scared" his voice shook

"Me too" I replied, tears threatening to spill from my eyes "I hate this so much"

Jeongin's hand covered his mouth and he shook slightly "this is really happening"

I nodded sadly in confirmation "I wish this was all a dream"

"But it's not" Jeongin finished

We slowly stepped in to the clearing once we were sure Jisung had completely passed out.

Minho lay peacefully beside him, hand still loosely held Jisung's, Jisung's hand had a secure hold of Minho's hand. Minho's chest was still, he laid silently, showing he was definitely dead.

I looked around the clearing, kicking some twigs.

Jeongin and I walked around a bit.

"It really would suck if this happened to us" Jeongin muttered, looking down, then turning to me.

"Yeah, yeah it would" I nod
