Tournament of Death

Introduction

                                                      

It has been one year since we began the Tournament of the Unknown. We almost got out but circumstances prevented us from leaving. We ended up being taken to a floor just below the maze. It had been in renovation the year we started, and when the tournaments ended this floor was finished.

We all landed in a place that looked exactly like a beach. We made a small home and stayed there waiting for the tournaments to start again. At first we had been separated, and it took a few days to find each other.

I was a mess I had lost my sister, Talia. I couldn’t eat or sleep. If it wasn’t for Elis I don’t think I could have accepted her death. I really miss her though.

I could also tell that Asher hadn’t gotten over her death. Yet he acts tough and is trying to protect me as well as he can. I keep telling him he doesn’t have to take care of me but he just shrugs it off. He wants to do this for Talia.

I have a feeling he is also using me as an excuse to keep living. To not give up on life. When I think about it in that sense I can’t help but feel horrible. It makes me blame myself for whatever wrong I did in the past. Why did she have to die? Although if you think about it people sometimes do things for no reason.

Laru became more distant from me as the weeks went by to the point that she doesn’t speak to me. I sometimes find her looking sadly at the sky or talking to Elis. She doesn’t speak with anyone else as much as you think she would.

Anally didn’t change one bit. She still jokes around and teases people, but when someone starts to talk about Judas she walks away. I talked to her one day and she told me everything. About how she felt and her realization after he died. How she had fallen for him. How she wished she could change the past. How she wished she could have saved him.

Elis and Night also hadn’t changed at all. Night was still stubborn and jumped into fights. While Elis was still carefree and nice. It calmed me down when I know they hadn’t changed. If they had changed a lot I would be freaking out. I wouldn’t know what to do. How to act.

We have gone through so much so I know we can get through this. We can get out of here.
