_________Kelsey's POV_________

Water rolled off my shoulders as I pulled up out of the heated swimming pool. I decided to practice swimming not because it builds endurance and muscle strength, (though that's good too), but because it hides my real skill; javelin throwing. I can impale a moving target from across a football field before they even know I'm there. That's the kind of practice I only do in secret. People will underestimate me, I'm a celebrity and a girl; but their ignorance will be my greatest weapon. I look over at the other contenders and smile, they have no idea what's coming. The door flies open and Kira walks in. She's wearing a battered trench coated and a navy blue fedora that looks as though it's been through the seven circles of hell. Terrible fashion sense. That's why she's just a jazz musician and not a beautiful actress like me. She does have nice eyebrows though...
I scan the room and take in all my competitors.
Zeth: a definite threat.
Eduardo: he's up there with Zeth.
Vinny: just a tech nerd, easy kill.
Matthew: good with arrows, but javelins are better.
Abigail: a seasoned killer, definitely a threat.
Nate: he's intelligent, I can tell by the way he's studying us, I can kill him though.
Kira: she a wild card, I'll have to watch her.
