Well, happy early Halloween Guys! (We don't really get into it too much in New Zealand, but I hope you all have fun!!)

I hope you all enjoy this chapter, it's slightly short, but  a new one will be coming soon.

And right now I'm semi freaking out, there's a lot of stuff going on right now for me and I've been really busy!

Thanks to everyone who give me birthday wishes the other day (28th) (even though I didn't really mention it!) I think I'm officially an adult now or something...Slightly freaked. :O

Only 200 votes for the next chapter, I hope you all enjoy it!

Sorry about the wait, and I hope you're all enjoying Dexterity too!

Chapter 37.

FIGHT!

My heart pounds in my ears as our attackers approach us.

There are no figures though, no flesh, no bone, nothing.

Our enemies...Are our own shadows.

I can tell this, because the shadow moving toward me has a gun, and when I click the safety off of mine...She silently does too.

What a way to die, via the bullet of a shadowy gun.

It's obvious that my shadow wants to kill me, a perfect weapon of mass entertainment designed by the Capitol, I bet they've been waiting forever to show this to the country.

But how do I kill it?

I decided to sprint towards my shadow, and it sprints towards me at the same pace.

We pass right through each other.

What???

This is so weird.

I glance around my fellow tributes, a few of them have figured out what is going on, and have stopped fighting too. But there are some, ready to stab their own shadow...And in turn, themselves.

"STOP!" I shout.

The rain continues to pour and a feeling of utter hopelessness fills me.

I don't know what to do, how do I kill my own shadow?

There must be a way, but I'd better figure it out fast.

"HELP!" Hannah L cries out, as her shadow runs towards her with a shadowy replica of her blunt kitchen knife.

"Put the knife down!" I yell at her.

She shoots me a bewildered look, but drops her knife.

The shadow continues to run at her, but the knife has now disappeared.

Hannah L shudders as the shadow passes through her.

"What on earth...?" She gasps, before her eyes roll back and she collapses on the wet ground.

Great, now she's fainted.

"Perfect..." I sigh, rolling my eyes slightly at the irony of it all, Hannah basically made herself faint.

But I have more important things to think of.

"We can't use our weapons against them!" I scream at everyone, as the tributes around me move in a chaotic blur.
