I spawned and i stood for a minute in the mineplex lobby,busy as rush hour. I slip on my headset and immediately hear squawks from the other end of my headset. "HEYWANNAPLYHGRGMS?" i groan as i am half deafened by my birdie friend. "right" i respond huffily"slower,quieter!" I hear her sigh and speak mega slowly just to annoy me"oooooookkkkkkkaaaayyyyyy ttttthhhhheeeeeerrrrr-" i cut her off sharply and say,'come on!" She giggles at my annoyance and speaks "wanna play hunger games?" i reply nervously "really?... its my first time..." i try to explain further but then she cuts me off, "oh hey! i see you!" she yelps. i see a blur of yellow in the vast crowds. suddenly she bursts through the crowds, leaping on to me. i stumble back,clumsily stepping on my purple wolf tail and crashing to the ground, taking skyla and another three people with me. two of them clamber up and shake their heads good-naturedly and haul me and skyla up too. a furry brown one with a tux helps skyla up, smiling gently at her and making sure she wasn't hurt. i was hauled up by a grey and blue wolf."gosh! mineplex is nearly as good as toasters!" she said happily. They both wander off and i catch skyla looking wistfully after them. i raise my eyebrows at her but she shakes her head sadly...
I feel a tug on my tail and i whip round to see the third person i knocked over, glaring at me. i suddenly focus on his blue features, big red mouth,long thin limbs... a SQUID!?!?! I leap behind skyla how has got her diamond sword out defensively. "you have no business here!" she snarled. He just smirked smugly and nodded to a clear sign, hung up on a near by tree.
NO PVP IN LOBBIES ,PLAYERS
CAN AND WILL BE BANNED
She scowls and stomps on, i follow in her wake. She is annoyed now, i can tell. "hunger games?" i sigh, because its the only thing i can think of to cheer her up. and sure enough, her face lights up and she grabs my paw and drags me through the crowd toward the nether portal, clearly marked.
HUNGER GAMES
Skyla leaps in, dragging me behind her. i see the rest of the lobby fade and swirl before my eyes, making me feel dizzy and sick. i clutch skyla for support but we are already in the hunger games lobby, awaiting the area. most player chatter excitedly, sprinting around. but some stand anxiously pale faced, forced into it by their friends, a bit like my self, and some forgotten how to quit.
While skyla rushes around frantically, i sidle over to a sweating girl, obviously a noob, and whisper in her ear "try slash quit" she nods at me gratefully and seconds later she disappeared. i am beginning to wish i could do the same.
suddenly one by one each player disappears. i sprint towards skyla, in blind panic, but she vanishes before i get to her. but then the hunger games lobby swirls and turns to blackness. this happens on other games, so i don't know why it is so frightening. i scream out and feel solid ground again beneath my sneakers. i blink in the steaming sunlight, desperately searching for skyla, but no avail. suddenly the gong goes an i sprint forward, knocking open a chest to find a leather cap and 1 bread. a arrow whistles past my head an i stumble back, panic setting in. i sprint off, away from all other players, to look back just as skyla drives an iron sword through a players heart.my mind is clouded with thoughts as i sprint through trees, heart thumping. "would skyla kill me? are we a team?" i saw her with a bow." did she shoot that arrow? so that she didn't have to do it later?" i conclude that I'm over thinking this, so i slow down and move at a steady jog. i come to a village, deserted. i walk into the nearest house, to find a chest. i find a wooden sword and another piece of bread. " no bow," i think forlornly, slamming the chest shut, slightly louder than i meant to. i hear foot steps outside. i stumble to the door, knowing i have out stayed my welcome. i trip over what i think is a rock, and get a mouthful of gravel. i turn to lay on my back, and see the squid i met in the mineplex lobby, with a heavy iron axe in his tentacle. i scrabble back barely missing his deadly weapon. "this is it," i think to myself. i shut my eye and brace myself for the impact, but instead hear a loud holler. i open my eyes to see the squid, blood running down his face, his screams soon muffled by the gore in his mouth. i notice multiple arrows stuck in his head. A scream rises in my throat as i leap to my feet and take off. i clumsily trip over another rock, turning to see if I'm being followed, and land on my back. Im alone but i can see a shape, rustling the leaves in the trees. i think of all that gore and blood. i don't want to die like that..
My hunger bars low and i believe I'm slowly dying of hunger. i rip my last loaf and let the warm smells waft up to my nose. its gone in seconds, but feel better.
i hear a shrill war cry from behind. I whip a round to see Skyla, in a tree. she is smiling down at me. "Ally?" I offer. "Ally," she confirms. she has a full sheath of arrows and a bow, but is weak, very weak. Clamber up the tree after her and shakily sat/squated on a lower branch. "food," she barely whispers. When i shake my head, her shoulders slump further forward. i can't help but feel regretfu about my new-found ally.
The amount of players are dwindling. Skyla slides off the tree a nd starts walking. i know where she is heading. i follow without hesitation.
In the moidde of the arena, there is a large wheat field, a perfect source of food. We walk side by side, hearts beating fast. we soon come to a clearing. we are on the border of dense oak tree, but only a couple feet from our hiding place is a lush plains biome, and in the midde there is a wheat field, bordered by a flimsy- looking fence. My ears prick up. enemies are near, i can sense them. Skyla can too. she can see me, getting ready to run, and shakes her head, trying to stop me. But i have to, she's too weak already. i leave her, leaning up against a tree. i sprint off and immediately hear arroews whistling towards me. the golden field is nearing, but so are my enemies. A wooden sword pluges into mud, inches from my ankle. i begin to feel my heart lightening, but that was before an arrow rakes across my back and i stumble, and i try not to cry out as black spots warp my vision.
* * *
i drag myself to the edge of the wheat farm, and as i stumble to my feet, i pluck as many crops as i can. i sprint grabbing large handfuls and stuffing then in my pocket. my backs pouring blood, but im soon at the edge of the clearing. "i can lose them in the woods," i think. a female leaps out in front of me. i freeze, my hand goes to my belt, wait, WHERES MY SWORD? okay it was wooden, but still! the player in front of me holds a stone sword. i back away, and nearly trip over something hard and square. my heart skips a beat.
I meet this girls steady gaze as my hands silently go to the lock of the chest. i one swift (:D) movement i rip open the lid and pray for a weapon. oh! for the love of herp derpin'!!! an iron sword! i get my grin back as hers dispears. i run at her and she backs off.
(sorry , i dont believe in violence and am bad at writing it, but here i go ;D)
I swipe blindly at her nose but only get her brow, her turn. her stone sword barely misses my jaw. enough of this fooling around! i leap forward, and she gave a small scream before she slumps to the ground.
Dead.
I sprint hard back to skyla.
Bread was eaten.
I knew skyla was getting better. we could fight soon.every thing was going really good until i see the large leaderboard in the sky.
3 TRIBUTES REMAIN
I realise a split second before skyla. I watch her face. her reaction doesn't change. she only gives me a sad smile before walking away.
I scurry after her,confused. we come to the edge. she hugs he hard. i stand rigid, trying to figure it out.no.i grab her arm.no. i try to drag her away. no. someone leaps out and sprints, and shoves skyla off.no. her screams echo in my head.no. he turns to me and grins."yes"
I back away, a break into a hard sprint. arrows strike the ground around me. my legs drag after my body. it feels as if my leg might come right out of the socket when i trip over a old tree root. i go face first it to fluffy white ice, sorta like snow, but on contact, sends me scream loud enough to wake the dead. It burns like acid, and soon enough the world fades and shifts around me.
Then i realise.
I'm dead
