Fight to survive

10. Run

I froze. I couldn't just run from the podium, I couldn't just be all: "La Di Da I'm gonna kill my friends, no biggie." I had to do something but I couldn't. I looked over at my friends and we all just looked at one another. Tamika just shrugged her shoulders.

"What should we do." Felicity asked.

" I don't know." Jainelle replied.

" Um, run? I guess." I replied. "On the count of 3 ready. 1, 2, 3!" We all jumped off the podium and ran. I didn't even know where I was running too. I eventually stopped and crouched down low behind a pile of metal barrels as if I was playing an extreme game of hide and seek.

"Where are the weapons?" A voice I recognised called out. It was Dylan. Who else?

"Um, who are you planning on killing?" I asked rather concerned about his mental health.

"No one I just want to shoot a gun. You know that." He replied

"I dunno Dylan go find them." He did what I said and ran off.

I honestly didn't know what to do. I definitely wasn't planning on killing anyone and I wasn't gonna run around in circles just to fill up my time. I didn't want to leave my spot behind the barrels. I felt exposed because I knew cameras were everywhere watching always watching. I also knew that soon this would be on TV and everyone would be watching. Ugh I didn't want this. I heard sobbing. I didn't know where it came from but I could definitely hear sobbing. I looked around and I saw Felicity sitting in a ball and crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a whisper yell.

"Everything, I can't do this. I can't act like everything is gonna be ok when it's not." She replied.

"Look I know exactly how you feel. I'm always feeling hopeless and numb. But we have to try. If we don't try we will never know."

"Try what?"

"Follow me." I slowly got up from behind the barrels and walled into a direction with nothing in sight. Felicity soon followed.

"What are we doing?" She asked again.

"You'll soon find out." I kept walking and walking until what seemed like forever I had found it.

"Where are we?" Felicity asked.

"At the end of the arena. This is where it finishes." I replied. I got down on my knees and started to dig the sand just below the barrier. I dug faster and faster. Deeper and deeper.

"What are you doing?" felicity asked.

"You'll find out."

"Let me guess your trying to escape. It won't work."

"I can at least try can't I." I kept digging and digging but it was no use. Their was no way of leaving this place. "Well I have tried and their is no way of escaping. Let's just go back. I want a weapon." I said to felicity.

"What for? Are you planning on killing someone?"she asked.

"Yes." I Replied and headed back to the barrels.

We eventually got back without a single word said to one another. I crouched down behind the barrels again. Felicity just went back to sitting in a ball. I looked around the place and saw a shed not to far from the barrels. I got up and made my way to it. It was green and a little rusty. I saw spider webs in the gutter and the area stunk! I placed my hand on the handle and pushed the shed door open. It was dark and had one light in the centre of the room above a table. On the table were numerous weapons such as: Guns, Knives, Grenades, swords, bows, axes and throwing knives. I picked up the sharpest knife and touched the tip. It was sharp alright.

"Hey Dylan, I found the weapons!" I shouted out. Dylan and a few friends walked in.

"Yes! This is awesome!" Dylan said sorting through the guns. He picked up a Glock 18.

"What are you gonna use that for?" I asked.

"C'mon it's exactly like the one Rick used on degrassi when he shot Jimmy. I just wanna shoot it."

"On who?" I asked quite shocked.

"No one just the sky."

I laughed at how worried I got and picked up the knife again. I walked out and ran away from everyone. I sat down and stared at the knife. If I die everyone could live. Everyone can live. Was all that was going through my mind. I stared at the knife and was just about to slice it through my wrist when: BANG! It was a gunshot. I heard a girl scream. "Oh my god." I heard Dylan say. I ran over to where the noise was coming from. I couldn't believe what I saw. I small cry came out of my mouth.

"It was an accident, I SWEAR!" Dylan Cried. It was Jainelle. Her body was lying on the ground with blood covering her.

"Is she dead?!?" I asked. No one replied.
