'Til Death Do Us Fight

Felix's POV

Seydi and I sit down on the sand waiting for something to happen. People run around looking for someone to fight or kill, quite sad. I look around and see the sun has changed its position. It was much lower in the sky than last time. It must be getting close to the first night. I turn my head to Seydi when suddenly my watch starts to glow. I look at her wrist and see her watch isn't glowing. I gulp down. Was this another watch glitch?

The black watch continues to become a bright blue until it bursts. teleporting me, and only me to somewhere different where my ally isn't there to help. I close my eyes as I am move through space and time. A pressure is lifted off my body and I drop onto hot sand. In front of me is a blue male figure, around 5 feet tall and around maybe 5 inches is glowing in the air. He then is clothes and hair is put on the silhouette. The boy drops to the ground like I do.

I look around the arena and see blood splats on the ground, two ships on both ends, and a bunch of people sitting in areas all around. In a fancy looking booth I see a man. He is wearing a golden laurel crown and a red tipped toga. He looks at us with a hungry sense, wanting us to do something. I grab my dagger and get ready to attack.

I take a closer look at the tribute and realize its Zoran Birch. He is from district 7, and is 17. I look to see if he has a weapon. In his hand is an axe. I look back at my weak weapon and gulp. I take out my throwing knife and get ready to throw it. Zoran looks around for a little bit before landing his eyes on me. He grasps the axe in his hands. In my other hand is my dagger if he tries to quickly attack me.

Zoran then starts to run at me. The sand he lands on flies from his feet causing sand to fill the areas he was just at. I start running to escape him, the sand filling the air with dust. As I continue to run my foot collides into a huge sand mound. My body is flung forward and my throwing knife lands in front of me while my dagger lands to the side. The stomping of Zoran's feet stops and I can make out a dark shape inching towards me.

When he reaches me he has an axe in his hand. He gives me a devious smile and reaches his axe above his head. He starts to bring it down. I reach for my dagger but it's just out of reach. I grab a handful of sand and throw it at him. The clump hits his face causing him the rub his eyes. He lets out a cry of anguish and stumbles back. I reach for the dagger and throwing knife and start to run off again. I head towards the ship on the far end and place my back to where he is crouched.

I look around at the people in the stands. They remind me of the people in the capital watching the games, staring at us with a hungry look, waiting for the next move. I look over the side and see him looking at the boat on the other side of the arena. I start heading towards him. Adjusting the way I walk to not be heard. I slyly make my way over to the ship and ready my dagger. He was about to turn the corner of the ship when I hold his shoulder and take my dagger and try to stab him in the back. I hit the fabric of his shirt.

He then lurches backwards. In my mind I can only think "SH*T SH*T SH*T SH*T." He catches me off guard causing me to drop my weapon. I see a grin on his face as he reaches for his axe from his belt. I duck and grab my dagger as he swings it where my chest would have been. The axe hits the side of the ship and gets stuck.

"God Damnit!" Zoran shouts with his missed attack. I then bounce up and punch him in the chest. He stumbles back and seems a little dazed at the attack. I punch him in the stomach, but he rebounds and hits my shoulder. I stumble back a few feet. I look at his items and see he has a backpack, but no other viable weapon besides the axe in the side of the sailing ship. He looks nervous at the fact of that but he might have a trick up his sleeve.

I advance towards him. As I near closer I see a flash of a grin. He has a trick and will use it. One hand slides into his sleeve. I don't pay close attention to it to make it seem as I don't know what is coming. As I get into reach I see his arm twitch. I duck back as he slices a knife through the air, trying to cut me. I then rotate my body quickly causing him to slip. He lets go of the knife, causing it to fall with him. It glides through the air and cuts him in the chest.
