The thirsty games

Ch.3

Rachel's POV:

The final person isn't human,

It's a HONEST-TO-GOD FISH ON A MANS BODY!!!!!!!! "WHAT THE HEY!!!???"

I scream. I look at my friend Mikayla, then Kyra, then Rhiann and finally in Ava the optimist and groaned. Why, oh why? Was I picked? "This is gonna suck!!" I say loudly.

Ava just smiled and said in that little perky voice of hers, "Oh, but it's going to be soooooooo fun! We'll get to see nature visit sculptures, have a nice time with forest creatures... I gave her such a strange look, she stopped short. "What?" She asked innocently?

I gaped speechless at her until Mikayla stepped in. "Uh, Ava? Do you know why it's called the Thirsty Games? Because you can die of thirst! And other things much worse!" Finally I found my voice. "Ava, we're all gonna die!"

But she just looked at my happily. "Oh I never almost die! I always survive." The way she said "survive" made me a little nervous.

"O.K. Well I think we're here" Kyra said quietly, awed by the Capitol. We all stared shocked by it size and colour. Until a crackly voice projected through the loudspeakers.

"All off the train!! This is the last stop!! Capitol!!"
