The Games

2 weeks had passed quickly, I spent most days wandering alone through the woods while Zoey cried and Rythian comforted her. On the eve of the games a messenger apeared, he had come to take me home. I told him no and tried to resist, in the end I was knocked out and forcefully taken back home.

I woke up in my own bed, My head snapped around, trying to look everywhere at once, finaly I focused on one thing, Ridgedog. He stood in the doorframe sneering, "good morning! It's time to watch the games!" He laughed maniacally. Oh god...this is what it had come down to... I looked around and took hold of the small cloth in my pocket, twisting it and pinching it, hoping to kill my problems entwined with it. No luck. "Come." Ridge beckoned, my body responded without my telling, I didn't want to go but I was moving anyway. I walked through the door and followed Ridge through the halls I knew so well, passed the room the used to be Mexxy's bedroom, passed the servant quarters, passed the prison and out through the doors. We flew past the angels' dorms and past the cloud shaped like a turtle. We flew up to the arena in the sky, from the inside it looked like it was ground, but really the whole thing was a giant floating box. I drifted into the skyroom, where all the teams sat huddled together awaiting Ridge's instructions and last words. I saw Zoey crying into Rythian's shoulder, Mabel drooped over Raiden, Simon looking very depressed, Duncan patting Kim on the shoulder, Sips trying to joke with Sjin, Martyn whispering to a small sapling. Toby walked over to where I stood, as he approached me, I pulled him aside, "don't show any emotion toward me...I have a plan...sort of..." I whispered. " no...don't do anything to hurt yourself..." He said. "Shhh...I have a plan-ish thing...I'm going to surprise him...this will work" I said nodding to Toby, he shook his head and walked back to Martyn. Rythian looked up at me, I nodded and gave him my best 'I have a plan' look, which probably looked quite funny. He nodded and turned back to Zoey. I noticed Hannah looking sadly at Lewis, and Nilesy for once, being completely silent. Then Ridge began to state the rules, "rule number 1: only one team wins. Number 2: there are no other rules" then without a second to spare, everyone was transported down into the arena, "10 mins until the start!" Ridge laughed to everyone. I was stuck floating around until the games began, so I just went to watch over everyone.

I floated over Sips and Sjin as they talked strategy, I passed Martyn and Toby, I wanted to say something to Toby but I knew he wouldn't hear me. Suddenly I was teleported back to the start room, Ridge stood in front of me, "you will not interfere." He said sternly, I said nothing, just stared right back into his cold heartless eyes. I remember a day when his eyes were filled with love, when he kept the balance of the world with Mexxy and Kupo and the others. It's all gone now, the only thing filling his eyes is hatred and evil. "And to keep you from interfering, I'm locking you in here. You will watch just like you used to, forcefully, and you will not interfere." And with that he snapped his fingers and disappeared. I tried the door but it was locked, just like I thought, I knew the visuals on the games wouldn't appear until the game was starting so I had some time. Yelling and screaming would do nothing, no one would come to my aid. I heard the bell, everyone was released, I braced myself for the visions of death, but they didn't come. I was alone in the room, nothing else, except what was that? A flutter in the corner of the room, my paper swan glided up to sit by me. "You protected me...you warded off his magic." I smiled at it, "thank you" I whispered. Next was the door to deal with, I pulled out a hair pin that had mysteriously appeared in my hair, I would have to thank Alec for that since it could only have been him, I pulled out the pin and started jiggling the lock. It wasnt working! The stupid thing was stuck tight, I tried again but the pin only snapped in half. Magic, magic is the key! I started fumbling through my bag and pulled out a tiny peice of paper, I folded it into a tiny angel, I kissed it and whispered to it until it fluttered to life and flew into the lock. A few seconds later the door clicked and swung open. "Yes!" I quietly cheered. I flew out and took survey of the survivors, Duncan and Kim were both dead, Zoey was dead and so was Mabel. I whimpered slightly, time to take action. I silently flew and started gathering the survivors together.
