The Supernatural Games

Chapter 8 - World's Burning Down

My nose sniffs something burning. I open my eyes and turn my head to see behind my tree, fire is rising. I untie myself and put all my materials in my bag. I jump off steadily and begin super speeding. Sadly, the fire is coming at the same speed at me. Even fireballs are being thrown.

I dodge each fireball but fall on a log. Ouch, it scraped my knee. I can't stop moving. I must keep moving. I continue to run away from the fire and jump off a small cliff, landing into the water. Fresh and drinkable water.

I get out of the water and begin healing my wound. It's huge and badly scraped. I pour water on it and add medicine from my first-aid kit. After that, I place a white roll of bandage around my knee. That should do the trick.

" I can't believe that forest fire occurred, I could've died! " Katherine yells, almost nearby.

" Well, that's what the Games are for. Dying. " That's Chase's voice. I grab my things to not get noticed but I am.

" Oh look, it's Speedo Girl! " Tyler yells, all of his allies running for me. I run far away from the lake and jump onto a tree. Wow, aren't I a tree person. Wondering why I haven't continued running? Cause I wasn't able to drink as much water as I needed.

" Girl can't hide anymore! " Katherine yells, pointing the middle finger at me.

" Why don't you come down, baby. Your boyfriend wants you now! " Tyler points to Chase, who's making eye contact with me. I stay put on the tree, not moving.

" I play the boyfriend card and she doesn't want to come down. Like that's really fucked up. " Hayley nods while Tyler complains. " Wanna play hardball, Bree? You got it. " Tyler begins to climb up the tree when both of the girls cheer him on.

He continues to climb but he unexpectedly falls down. Hayley laughs hysterically and pulls out her axe. She throws it but it doesn't go high enough.

" You two are such losers. " Katherine says. Hayley grabs her axe and glares at me.

" Why don't you all stop trying. Bree can't stay up their forever now, can she? " Chase says. " Why don't we wait here until she does come down. " Wow...

" Okay then. Katherine make a fire now. " Tyler replies, putting his bag down. Katherine rolls her eyes and gets wood. Goddamn I'm toast.

It's early morning and everyone beneath me is still sleeping. I hear a little psst and I see its Quinn and Ivan. They smile at me and hop onto my tree.

" You two are okay! " I whisper, hugging them both.

" You know it. I saved Ivan here from being attacked by those crazy vampires in the bloodbath. " Quinn whispers back.

" Anyway, you see that hive. It consists of tracker jackers. All we must do is drop them on the vamp and wolves. " Ivan says, pointing to the nearby hive.

" I don't have a huge saw to cut that branch. " I say, looking down at the sleepyheads. Ivan pulls out his wand and beings a spell.

" Buzz buzz, what's that? A tracker jacker, that's what it is. Let it fall down to the floor than come knocking on your door. " he whispers, zapping the hive and it falls down.

As the loud buzzing starts, Katherine screams and motions the rest of the pack to start moving quickly.

" What about my axe?! " Hayley yells as they're starting to run. " I need it! " She goes back to get her axe when a bunch of tracker jackers stab her. She screams in pain when no one will help her.

I hold Ivan and Quinn's hands and we superspeed far away from the scene. I actually get stabbed by two tracker jackers in my legs and I fall down, unconscious.

" Quinn, she's awake! " Ivan says, healing my tracker jacker wounds. I look around and see we are in a quiet place in the woods.

" Great. Morning, Bree. " She says, handing me my flask. I open in and begin drinking something I haven't drank before. " Drink that, Bree. It's herbal tea which will help you gain energy. "

" How long was I out? " I ask, continuing to drink the tea.

" Like a couple of days. Me and Ivan nursed you and kept sight of Tyler, Katherine and Chase. " Quinn puts a wet washcloth on my forehead, which is cold. " Plus, you got this herbal tea gift from your mentor Elliot. " I smile that Elliot was willing to sponsor me.

" Hayley of District 2 is a goner. Only 6 of us left. " Ivan says. " Now, we gotta start moving. " Quinn pulls me onto my feet and I feel so much better. She hands me my bag and we begin walking in the woods.

The sound of twigs come closer to us. Quinn looks around and doesn't see anything. Ivan yelps and I turn around to see he was stabbed in the back. Tyler smirks from afar and runs back into the shadows.

" Oh no, Ivan! " Quinn screams, pulling out the knife and holding onto him. I begin sobbing and me and Quinn embrace Ivan. This stings a lot, much more than the tracker jackers. Seeing Quinn cry reminded me of Sierra when she lost her brother. It was a hard time for her then and those memories are kicking in. I could tell Quinn saw Ivan as a brother. This has burned her world down.

" Keep moving forward. Thanks for everything, you two. " Ivan says as his last words. Quinn lays him down and begins singing.

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
They always seems to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no,
Tell me why.... is it so
That I, Never can say goodbye, boy
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, now...
Never can say goodbye to ya

As she was singing, I surrounded Ivan in beautiful flowers. Quinn shut his eyes closed and we walked away, not looking back. Quinn was sobbing and crying so hard that I put my arm around her.

" I want it to stop, Bree! I can't do this anymore! " She wails, falling onto her knees. I comfort her and shush her calmly. " I want it to end. "

" I know, Quinn. I know. " I say, rocking her side to side. I want these Games to end as well.

😭😭😭 I just can't right now. This was kinda a sad chapter for me to write. Ivan's death and Quinn breaking down brought me to little tears. So anyways, 1 more chapter to go before the finale chapter. Please vote for this story and give comments! Peace out :):):)
