In the back pack, I find a small, cheap compass that hooks onto the belt loop of my pants. I curse and wish I'd opened this earlier so I'd know if I had been heading straight in the woods, or if I had gradually turned, doing a huge arc and actually being closer to the Cornucopia. I continue to pull out objects. A small canteen that could only fit a few large gulps of water at a time. A small straw like-object with a 8 darts. I guess that they are poisonous, so I quickly put them down to avoid... Read Full Chapter

My mind screams at me. "This can't be happening. No! This-this isn't real!" But I still know, in some calm hidden part of my mind, that it is. That I am in the Games and I'm not leaving.

My shoes pound against the concrete. I go down the street several blocks until the street goes left and right, but not straight. Straight is a nasty downhill that I would be more likely to break my neck down than somehow winning this. I turn right and gradually slow down. But I keep jogging in the least.

Jae and I eventually got a letter through the school back to my mom saying how I was somewhat mentally off in a good way. Where I was too smart to the point where I was 'socially awkward'. I'm not, but sadly it wasn't hard to convince people that I was. My mom got me 'enrolled' to the Solomon Institutional for Troubled and Talented Teens. I laughed at the made up name that she believed but I quickly scowled at Alice. It didn't take her long to drop a few nasty remarks to me about being "diffe... Read Full Chapter

"So, that was a big joke?" I asked him as he lifted the secret door that led up outside. He grunted in pain as he put debris back over the entrance. I bent over and helped him, and then helped him stand back up.

"No, not a joke, but not exactly real either." He said.

"So," I waved the pamphlet in the air, "what did she mean by 'Houses'?" I inquired.

"Oh those, okay. There are five Houses. Each one with a different job or ability." He said. He paused to let me soak this is.

"Like Hogwarts?... Read Full Chapter

"Okay. His name is, something like Jake, I can't really remember. I only heard him mention it once, but it wasn't Jake, it was weird sounding. I swear!" I was so scared!

"Good. Now we are getting somewhere. And, where are we?"

"Somewhere underground the City. Other than that, I don't know, honestly." I said.

"All right. Get up. Your done." He commands. He smiles.

"What?" I exclaim.

The strict-looking woman I had seen from the room before comes in, doesn't look at me, but only faces the m... Read Full Chapter

"How about we let your little friend here go with only 3 more bruises, and you get a punch to your lovely cheek?" He said, he was playing with me! I decided to go along with it. What else could I do?

"How about he gets only one more kick, and I'll take a hit to the stomach, and... almost anything you want." I was practically begging him! No, i WAS begging him!

"Fine, sweatheart, wish granted!" He laughed, and the three henchmen chuckled. "Mack!" He nodded to Jae. "Untie the weakling. Neil! ... Read Full Chapter

I start crying harder and gasp as I see Jae. He is sitting in a short, uncomfortable chair. His hair is even messier than usual. He is hunched over protecting his vulnerable stomach. But he can't use his hands or legs as they are both tied to the chair.And there are three large guys standing menacingly behind him. But besides the obvious water in his eyes from the pain, he looks relatively calm. The other man/boy behind me grabs my hair again. "What was in the room before this? Tell me now or...
