Surviving The Games

Chapter Six- Let's Play a Game

  I wake up screaming, but I remember the dream. It was that girl from district two, Crescent. And I know why I had the dream. Because the games are today. I get dressed and go to breakfast, but I am not hungry.

  We fly there in an airplane, but we cant see anything, because the windows are blackened from the inside. A lady puts something into my arm, and it hurts. But when the pain subsides, I feel a bump where she had poked me. We are each led to our own underground room. I see Rachel down there, and I feel a second of joy before I realize that I am going into the worst, most cruel thing in history.

  I change into the clothes that are there, a sweatshirt, jogging pants, and a white t-shirt, all emblazoned with the number twelve. I step onto the platform and rise up in darkness. when I reach the top, the light is blinding, like in a desert. I cover my eyes but look around. We are surrounded by forest.  I see the Zulu Throwing Knives, but I can't go for them.

  I face the forest as I hear the countdown. "ten." nine." "eight." "seven." "six." "five." "four." "three." "two." "one."  "go." I sprint off towards the forest and keep running. After a while I take a breather and rest. I hear footsteps almost surrounding me. But then I hear Caitlin's voice, and I know it's safe. Caitlin says, "Noah, back off, he's a friendly." I hear a growling sound, but the footsteps stop.

  Caitlin gives me some food and a knife. We stop for the night and rest. Caitlin explains that she made an alliance with Noah and Kaylee, both from district eight, and both the tributes from district ten. I find us some good sharp rocks for spearheads while I'm on watch, and I also retrieve the sinew from the few animals they've killed. I make seven spears, but one was to small and bent, so we scrapped it.

  A couple nights later we were sleeping in a tree and I had decided to take watch again. I smelled smoke, and tried to wake everyone else up, but they had already gotten out of the tree, cause I slept on a higher branch than the rest of them. Just when I thought about going done, the careers came through and took them out. Well, except Noah. They let him go, because he was to fast.

  I stayed in the tree, and they didn't see me, so I was safe. I kept hearing moaning sounds, like people in pain, which must have been my fellow tributes, 'cause I hadn't heard any cannons yet. Just when I thought I could have saved them because the careers were gone, but I heard four distant cannon blasts, marking the deaths of four of my five closest friends in this game.

- I was in kind of a hurry for this one, so if it stinks,  just leave a comment and i'll fix it later. the reason I was in a hurry is cuz minecraft pocket edition just got updated. Yeah Buddy! If anyone would like to give me any ideas for books or anything, that would be awesome. just send it tto me by following me and sending me a message just between us. thanks guys (: ;)
