The Games

8.

We all had been finished our conversation about the training. And it was still silent. It was quiet, and there weren't any crickets.

"Alondraaa"

"What?" Alondra asked.

"What - what?" Jordan said.

"Someone said my name," Alondra said.

"Jordannn"

"Okay, then who's saying it, because I'm not saying anything," Jordan said.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked.

"Allannn"

I heard my own name being called out in a whispering voice. At this moment, I thought it could been the careers that are here.

"Janizaaa"

"Jordannn"

"Alondraaa"

"Allannn"

Everybody stepped out of the water and walked a few steps forward looking around. I pulled an arrow out of the quiver and on the bow. I pulled it out into the distance of the forest, spinning around with the bow.

"It's not us," Jordan whispered.

"No, shit," Janiza whispered back.

We kept on hearing the whispering of our names occurring again. Then we could hear giant footsteps. As it got closer I was able to see what it was. It was about a 30 feet tall 'Beast' it has yellow horns and yellow claws. Not only that, but it also had brown fur, with a huge mouth. Then that's when it all happened. The Beast screeched and a bunch of teal, four limbed full human size, naked long reptilians with tails came out. About 30 of them came crawling out of the pond. And their heads were jutted forward and had arched backs. They had no eyes what so ever, but they could smell their prey. They came out of the pond attacking us. We had no other choice but to fight back. I tried to pull out my arrows as fast as I can to kill the 'Lizard Mutts.' At the same time, we had to lookout for the Beast, when it would try to stomp on us or jerk its arms out for us. Jordan was using his trident, Janiza with her axes, and Alondra using her sword. As there weren't as much Lizard Mutts, we tried to fight against the Beast.

I tried shooting at its head, Jordan stabbing its legs, Janiza and Alondra on its feet. The monster kept on screeching and it eventually started to become weak. Then, all I can see is the Beast picking up Alondra with it's right hand.

"ALONDRAAAAA!!!" Janiza yelled.

"HELLLLP, SOMEONE HELLLLP MEEEE!!!" Alondra screamed.

I kept on trying to shoot at it's head, but then it bit Alondra in the stomach in two pieces and ate her. The cannon went off. Then the Beast kept on trying to look for us. I was speechless not knowing what to do... We all stayed there not saying anything. Janiza looked like she was about to cry. She just lost her best friend. But then Jordan convinced us to keep moving.
