The Games

24.

We were all still there, as the hours for the Tracker Jackers, Force Field, and Jabberjays, had ended. I was happy that Ms. Sillitoe and Mr. Cowles were dead... We now had no threat on our backs to worry about... Our friends were dead, but I know they're up above, proud of us...

"Okay... It's done," Caleb says.

The force field slowly disappears, and the Jabberjays, and Tracker Jackers, fall to the ground and die. Everything seemed very normal... But it was odd when, 4 Jabberjays were still flying in circles, over and over again.

"Jade, would you please hand me my bow?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah," Jade says.

She grabs my bow, and hands it to me. I take out one last arrow, and try to shoot one of the birds, so the rest would all scatter. But as I held it up in the air, and aimed, I shot it, and instead of killing a bird, I shot between them, the arrow shot between the birds and the birds slowly fell out of the sky. Eventually those birds were no longer birds... They flew in the sky falling to the ground slowly. And eventually became four bronze pins... I crawled on the ground to get the pins... I picked all of them up, and flipped them over to the back. They all had our names on one pin...

Janessa's name was on the back of a fin where a bird caught my arrow with its beak, with a ring around it. Caleb's name was written on a pin where the bird's wings were on the right side, and there was stripes all over the pin, with another ring around it. Jade's name was written on a pin where the bird was spreading both wings on each side, that also had a ring around it. Lastly, my name was on a pin where it looked just like Jade's, but was flying by the side, it had no ring around it. As if it were broken.

"What are these for?" Janessa asks.

"Not sure..." Caleb says.

"I don't know..." Jade says.

Then that's when I knew the answer...

"We passed the test... It's over," I said.
