The first games will start soon the voice said through the speaker, the kids in the cell next to mine whimpered it was their first game. Hey I whispered you're going to be fine, that was a lie none of us would be fine but they were too young to understand. That would not be the first lie I had told them but it would be the first I would feel guilty about. The guards took us from our cells and led us to separate platforms which I knew would lead us to the base and our introductions. Keep your head up, I muttered. Introducing Jupiter Moon, our most ruthless survivor, the announcer yelled as the platform started to rise. Benjamin Alexander the second half of our trouble duo. After that I zoned out focusing on how each child was shaking slightly. This is the most people we have ever had in the game the announcer roared. Let the best survivor win. Ben try to get the lights working through this building and we will meet up in the security room. He nodded and said come on you 3 keep your coms on I yelled. As we entered the base I took the smallest one's hand to keep up I said and started to walk to the first building, stay silent. If anything is to happen you run I whispered, he nodded though looking unsure. I took the rod from the side of the building holding it out in front of me. Come on, I nodded to the entrance, keeping your head down as we entered the place ,it was dark. Come on Ben muttered to get the lights working suddenly the light flickered on. Come on kid I whispered as we scoured the place we found a notecard. Let the games begin and then a roar echoed through the building. Run I yelled and dragged the kid through the building as we came across a door it was locked and the animal was getting closer Ben I yelled hurry up the doors started to open slightly the little boy was panting looking nearly ready to collapse come on kid a little farther I dragged him through the building until we came across a metal wall/door that was shut tightly. I saw a trap door in the roof as the monster roared again closer. This time I jumbled pulling it down with the rod. I gave the boy a boost and climbed up there as well, closing the door behind me. I'm scared he said quietly and tears started to well up in his eyes. It's going to be fine kid I got you. What's your name? I asked Dylan he said. After a while's break we started crawling through a vent system. It was long and was like a maze. Eventually I saw a moon lit sky appear through a vent Dylan was sitting next to it going a little farther ahead. I pushed him out of the way and leaned back on my hands and kicked the vent. Over and over before it went crashing down below. Come on I said get out my back he climbed on let's go spider monkey I said and jumped turning in the air and gripping onto the bar. I flipped off of it and landed on the floor with a thud. Dylan was crying and I could feel my shirt wet with tears as I ran to where the team was.
