All of the students loaded out of the classroom stage flying thing and out onto the island. They all remained in silence, not knowing what to make of any of this. Livy walked over to talk to Olivia. "Do you think he got this idea from your story that we showed him the other day" Livy asks Olivia. "Maybe, or maybe some of us have gotten so annoying-" says Olivia."*cough cough* Nase and Tanner," Livy interrupts. "Maybe he just wanted some of us gone," Olivia continued. "Well I'm not gonna argue about getting Nase and Tanner killed but the whole band and Orchestra, that just seems a little extreme. Especially considering Eli and Ben's condition, they barely survive in school, they aren't gonna last a day out here," said Livy. Olivia nodded,  they looked over to see Eli and Ben standing by the shore. A shark bursts out of the water, and devours a screaming Ben Fuller. His class mates look over horrified and Eli is on the ground, crying. "Oh well one less classmates death that'll be on one of your guys' hands," says Mr. Green. Mr. Green ordered the students to help him unload some boxes from the classroom stage flying thing. He pointed towards a large gray building that was mostly hidden by trees. "We will be carrying these boxes to that building, I will lead the way," he said as he trudged through everyone and made his way through the forest, leading them all to the strange building. When they reached the door he put his pointer finger on what seemed to be a fingerprint recognition pad and the door opened. Him and the students entered the mysterious building into a somewhat nice but gloomy main room. All of the furniture was soft red velvet but the walls were aa depressing gray and so was the carpet. Mr. Green led the students into another room where the walls were black, but aligned with neon lights. There were human dummies and empty plastic bins lined up against the walls. "Alright, everyone grab a box and empty whatever's in it into one of the plastic bins," said Mr. Green. The students obeyed. "Alright, If you go back to the main room there are boys and girls locker rooms with your training suits inside of them, tomorrow you will be wearing them for training as you will be the following two days, tonight how ever, you will merely be observing and I will be explaining. There a re three training floors, this current one and two above this. This one is training with weapons and instruments. You will figure out which one standard weapon fits you best. Upstairs is the working out room, there are weights and pull up bars, and stuff like that. On the level above that is the obstacle level where you can duck, jump and dodge things like you will need to do out in the forest. For the next three days you will be given three meals a day, you will be given the choice of all of the food you have in the lunch room at school, your payment will be just being here, so technically, the food is free. You will all be required to go to bed at ten for tonight and the following three days, and you will wake up at six o' clock, any questions?" Mr. Green said. "Oh yeah and Mr. Toon asked me to give you all these letters," said Green as he threw out the letters to each student as he always did. Olivia opened her letter. It read:

Dear student of the 7th grade band/orchestra,

I Mr. Toon have decided that one impact class would be competing in the first DMS Hunger Games. Mr. Green volunteered all of you which is why you are where you are right now. There are hidden cameras all over the training building and the forests. Your classmates are watching so please do not make the fighting very brutal. Your parents are all under the impression that you are all on a field trip and it was free, so it was completely fine with them. Hope you don't die!

-Mr. Toon

One by one each student finished reading their letters and looked at Mr. Green with terrified looks on their faces. "Are you saying that my twin sister is going to watch me get killed?" asked Brookelynn."Not if you kill everyone else first!" said Mr. Green with a smile.How could he do this, how could Mr. Toon do this, how could their parents not have a single rising suspicion. Eli was still crying over Ben's death and all of the other students were scared. Scared about being killed,  scared about having to kill what was like their family. A bell rang throughout the building. "Thats the dinner bell, follow me to the meal room. Everyone followed Mr. Green through the main room, past the boys' and girls' locker rooms and through a door that lead to a great room, with a long, dark wood table with candles and fancy Goblets atop of it. Abby and Livy compared it to the Great hall from Harry Potter "I forgot to mention that for dinner you will be served something else rather than the school meal," said Mr. Green . For dinner that night, the students had turkey (Livy had salad instead), baked potatoes, and dinner rolls, and for desert they all had chocolate cream pie. After dinner they were all so tired nd full, they all went to bed hoping the next morning they would wake up and this all would have been a bad dream.
