The press for the games was much like you would imagine, Nia and Enne were put in ridiculous outfits and were essentially told to be entertaining or they'd die.
  
    "Well this is fun" Enne muttered as she picked up an arrow in the training room

   "Yo have we met before?" Nia called to her from her spot on a bench nearby.

    "Don't think so, why?"

    Nia shrugged, "You look oddly familiar"
 
Enne glanced at the back at the girl then back to her arrow, a strange sense of familiarity tugged at her chest. Pushing away those feelings she picked up the bow and looked back at Nia
   
    "Not sure if making friends is the right call here but I feel like I've met you before"

   The two girls shrugged but soon became friends despite the fact they had to enter an arena and fight to the death in a few days.

   "The food here is so good" Nia mumbled while stuffing her face with some prime ribs

   "Right? Like they might be capitalists pigs but they can make a damn good chicken dinner"

   "So, who do you think is gunna win this whole thing?"

   "Probably someone from 1 or 2, they have the most money and training"

   "They may have those things but do they have sheer luck and quick wits?" Nia asked raising her eyebrows

   "And you have those things?"

   "No, but someone here could"

Enne laughed, "I'm definitely going to last a solid 5 minutes before I trip over a rock and land on a bomb or something"

  "Same except I'd probably just insult the wrong person and end up dead within 1"

  "Well I guess we're going to have to see how this plays out tomorrow" Enne said preparing to turn in for the night

  "Damn I forgot we have to go in tomorrow and you know, fight for our lives" Nia groaned as she got up from her table

  Enne scoffed, "Well, may the odds be ever in your favour"

   "And with your spirit"

The next morning was rushed, before Nia was fully conscious she was rushed into her outfit and put in that tube that sends them up.

   "Wait do we go on 1 or after 1?! Like is it 3, 2, 1 Go or it's it 3, 2- Hey come back these are important questions!"

As the tube slowly began to rise Nia groaned and hit her head on the glass, This is going to be a miserable way to die.

The arena was set to look like a jungle, complete with a weird looking treehouse situation, a beach and of course trees and all that other fun stuff. Distant sounds of animals could be heard behind the timer counting down. Man if I wasn't literally about to die, this would be a decent vacation spot. I wonder how Enne is doing? She's cool I hope she doesn't die soon. Hm you know I never thought about it until now but why don't I remember anything about living in District 7- Her thoughts were cut off by a loud explosion to her left. Huh, I guess it was after 1 then.

Nia jogged off the platform into the jungle, glancing back she saw people already fighting over weapons and supplies, Ah damn I knew I forgot something.

A few meters away Enne was having the panic attack of a lifetime. Nope nope Nope NOPE noPE NopE No Sir No No No thank you, was her thought process as she sprinted past the chaos and into the jungle, Who even needs supplies right now. At least I'm not like that first guy who died, that was embarrassing. Enne jumped as several more canons went off indicating more deaths, Ok so that was three just now and two more earlier and then the first guy... that makes me top 18 already! Hell yea

Enne slowed down as she quietly crept through the forest. She jumped and frantically turned around at the sound of a twig snapping, finding no one there she sighed and turned back.

   "Whatcha doin?" Nia whispered from beside her

   "AHHHH"

   "AHHHH, why are we screaming we probably shouldn't do that given our circumstances"
  
  "I'm Screaming, because you snuck up on me!"

   "Hey i didn't sneak up on shit, I have naturally soft footsteps, my mom used to call me a cat or a ghost- Or a demon but we don't talk about that"

Enne looked at the girl with confusion for a minute, "W-What?! Why- How are you acting like this right now?"

Nia shrugged, "I dunno, let's go look for stuff to help us survive tho, I see you didn't get anything either which makes Both of us look like idiots"

   Enne sighed, "This is going to be long, however long we last in here"

  "It sure is buddy, it sure is" Nia grinned and patted the girl on the back.
