"Kira, stay invisible the whole time" my father, the evil god Ridgedog, warned me. He was bored which meant another survival games would begin, this time more like the Hunger Games then all the other times. There was pairs, Ridge let them pick their own pairs, so there was Xephos with Honeydew, Sjin with Sips, Lomadia with Nilesy, Lalna with Kim, Rythian with Zoey, Inthelittlewood with Sototallytoby, and Thestrippin with Benji. The arena was set and the chests were filled, I watched as each person looked around, seeing their friends, their family, the ones they cared about and they knew soon it wouldn't matter. Blood would be shed.

The barriers fell and they were released, everyone ran to the chests because without supplies it was unlikely you would survive, you could collect materials but the arena was small and good materials were hard to find. I watch as Lalna takes up combat with inthelittlewood, both men trying to protect their partners. Lalna won. I watched my father's face as it broke into a grin and he started to laugh. I scowled, 'You murderer' I thought. Toby began to cry as his best friend fell dead in front of him, he looked up to avenge inthelittlewood, but Lalna was already gone. Toby started running off but was caught in the back by Thestrippin, "sorry Toby...I couldn't have you coming at me later" he said as he ran off with Benji. "That's 2 down!" Ridge said with glee. Everyone was safely into the forest, I flew around to see how each pair was doing.

"Kim? Come here, stop standing around your going to get killed." Lalna said trying to get the helpless Kim into the little shelter he had made, "but I don't want to go underground!" She complained. "Would you like to be killed instead?" He asked, she reluctantly went into the little cave.

"Rythian...I hate this game..." Zoey whimpered. "It's ok, it'll all be over soon..." He said, trying not to think about the fact that they would both probably die, but at least everyone would come back after the games were done. Zoey walked over and hugged him, shocked he just wrapped his arms around her, "don't die" she said "right back at you" he responded. They went back to gathering materials from the area, and made a small underground shelter.

"Creeper!" Honeydew yelled. Xephos walked over and stabbed it through the back, "there it's dead" he said satisfied. "We need to make a shelter!" Xephos said starting to sound worried, "Honeydew? Honeydew!" He said as he saw his friend playing with a pig "look at his face!" He said, Xephos looked as though he was about to smack someone. "Come on..." He said as he picked Honeydew up off the ground, and they ran to find a sheltered spot.

"Lets ice these jokers!" Sips said confidently, "yeah! Lets do this, take 'em down, Rythian first" Sjin said deviously. "er...sure" Sips said to his pal. "We don't need a shelter! Lets just find these idiots so that this can end!" Sjin said. And off they went looking for the rest of them.

"Lomadia? Lomadia? Lomadia look! Lomadia look at that cat" "Nilesy? Will you please shut up?" Lomadia said exasperatedly. "Ok..." Nilesy said as they walked through the woods, looking around every corner for people. "Lets buckle down and find somewhere for the night" and with that Nilesy dug a hole, "there! It's perfect" Lomadia just sighed and helped Nilesy make it a small shelter.

Strippin and Benji trampled through the forest, "we need rails..." Benji said "Benji we don't have time for rails...I can't believe I said that but...it's true...we have to survive through this...then we can make rails" Strippin decided. They silently just kept walking, right into Sips and Sjin, "well who do we have here?" Sjin said maliciously, he was already becoming an animal. Before Strippin could do anything, Sjin cut his throat, and Sips strangled Benji, "well thats 2 out of the way!" Sjin said. "We don't know if its just 2...Ridge is announcing the deaths at night, no hints to a death during the day" Sips said. "Right...well...at least 2 out of the way!" Sjin said.

As night fell, Ridge projected his voice like a speaker system, "I will project the deaths up in the sky for all of you to see...NOW!" As he ended, the faces of the dead showed up on the sky, first was inthelittlewood, then Toby, then Strippin and then Benji. I started to quietly sing to myself a song of mourning. "Well that's 4 down!" Said Sjin. "4 down..." Sighed Xephos, glad Lomadia was still alive. "Noooo inthelittlewood and Toby!" Zoey cried out. Meanwhile, Strippin, Benji, inthelittlewood, and Toby all woke up back in their homes. "Rails..." Benji hugged a mine cart relieved, Strippin just shook his head. "Toby...it's over...we didnt make it this year..." Inthelittlewood sighed looking at Toby.

A few days later, the only ones left were Rythian and Zoey, Sips and Sjin, Xephos, and Lalna and Kim. Ridge had made the area a bit smaller, that way the end would be near, he laughed as Lalna killed Xephos, who was mad with grief, and left himself basicaly defenseless and open for attack. I watched in horror the whole time. I saw each death. I saw the reactions of each person. I saw friends cry over each others dead bodies. I didnt help. I couldn't help. I watched everything. I was a terrible person.

Sips and Sjin made their way to where Rythian and Zoey were hiding, "I think I hear someone," Zoey whispered. "Shh" Rythian hushed her. Sips motioned to the hole in the ground. Sjin walked over, "come on out! Lets do this like civilized people!" Sjin yelled down. "This game is anything but civil!" Rythian countered, he grabbed Zoey and held her tight, he knew this was the end of them. "Fine! We go uncivil then!" Then Zoey was ripped from him, Sips had grabbed her, Rythian came out and saw Zoey held at knife point by Sips. "Please leave her" he pleaded, he knew they wouldn't, it was survival games...and they wanted him to suffer. Sjin grabbed Rythian, Zoey screamed, then Sips slit her throat. "ZOEY!" Rythian screamed, he went loose and stopped fighting back, with that Sjin slipped his knife right into Rythian's heart. Sjin put Rythian's body down and motioned for Sips to put Zoey's body over top of Rythian's. "done!" Sjin said with a smile. That night Xephos, Rythian, and Zoey's faces were projected at the sky. Duncan whimpered, "Xephos..." And Kim hugged him. "Don't worry" she said, "no...that leaves only Sjin and Sips left...Sjin is a cold blooded murderer...we will never survive..." He wailed. "Oh..." Kim said sadly. Duncan seemed to ponder something, then hardened up, acted tougher, "don't worry Kim, I'll protect you," he said, 'well...he is trying...' I thought as I watched him. I looked around and noticed my father wasnt anywhere near me, now was my chance to become unguilty, so I apeared infront of them. "Duncan, take this sword and kill Sjin, Sips will be easy to kill once Sjin is gone. And Kim, take these steaks, your about to starve sweetheart..." I handed them the items then disappeared. "Who was that?" Kim asked, "I don't know...but she was flying amd she looked like she was like 15...so maybe she is related to Ridgedog...but why would she help us then?" He wondered. "I don't know..." Kim said. But then Sjin and Sips burst in, "Kim, get back!" Duncan pushed Kim behind him, "aww you think you can protect her? Well give it up because your both going to die" Sjin said menacingly. "Nope!" Duncan said, pulling out the diamond sword I gave him, "holy shit!" Sjin said, his sword was just iron. With that Duncan pierced Sjin through the heart, and turned and stabbed Sips. "We won? We won!" He shouted to Kim, we aren't going to die! Then they were transported to a gathering hall, with all of the members, Ridge stood at the front of the room, with Kim and Duncan, I stayed invisible and watched. "These are your winners!" Ridge announced. Some people seemed happy, others not so much. But the games were done and everything would go back to normal. Peace would be restored.
