I'd like to enter. My thing doesnt tell me how many words this is so it may be over 500 words. I like it though. So it may be worth reading. And no I dont mean to brag I just want you to read it. Weather it is good or not, I do not care. well anyways, here it is.
The world spun around me. I fluttered my eyes open to find the blindingly white room still. Completely quiet. It was somewhat nerve-wracking not knowing where I was. I stood up to notice a white jacket tying my arms together. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly where I was.
I stood up, shoving all my fears to the back of my mind. This was my time, only mine. This wasn't a time to be thinking about other people. I got in my stance. This was my time! At full rage, I let loose of my attacks. My father growing up taught me how to survive this world. I never understood until this moment. This was the moment my father and I were waiting for my whole life. The man stared into my eyes. I knew that he figured out my weakness. Now all I had to do was hold it back. I kicked the man straight in the chest, pushing him back. This caused him to loose balance and fall to the ground. He was gasping for air. That was the time to run. Run away from the real world, leaving all those that I loved behind. This is my time. I sprinted until I came upon trees, my only safe haven. I climbed up one and pulled the sack dangling from my shoulders to the branch in front of me. I drank until I heard footsteps. It was more of them! I stealthy jumped up on the next branch, then the next, until I reached the top of the tree. I saw the whole place from here. That's when it hit me. I was in the dome of death.
I never knew what my dad was telling me when I was little was the dome of death. He must have known that I was going to be chosen the whole time. This place was meant for the warriors of our tribes. Suddenly I had an urge. An urge to go destroy the people in this place. I clambered down the tree to face the one I loved.
“Juniper,” I whispered.
“Maple,” He mouthed.
We briefly embraced each other until I noticed what I needed to tell him.
“We're in the doom of death.”
“No! We can't be! This can't be the end! This always seemed impossible. This can't be happening.” He fell to the ground in a heap.
I explained the whole thing. How we can't give up. How there is always hope. How we need to kill everyone and get out of this hellhole. He nodded, stood up, and followed me to the stream hidden beside the bed of grass. I told him this is home to us now. He nodded and dove into the stream. I knew this is how he calmed down, so I let him be. I left the area until I found a camp of a competetor. I dug around finding a loaf of bread and a canteen. I took it. I stuck it in my sack and set a trap hidden with leaves and grass. This would kill this person instantly when they stepped in it. I walked away, hearing a click behind me. This person was just murdered by my trap. I don't look back.
I arrive back at my camp with Juniper and discover pictures made of stars in the black sky. It was telling how many people were dead and how many more there are left. I look at the stars, ready to burst into tears, but I never do. There was only me, Juniper, and an adorable little girl left. I wondered how so many were dead, but decide to go find that little girl. There were allowed to be three victors if we all made a truce. I held Juniper's hand as we walked along. We screamed for the little girl but didn't find her for a while. We decided we needed to go back to camp before it got dark. When we approached the area, we heard something scrounging through our stuff. Bow in my hand, I cautiously get closer to the camp. I see the little girl. Careful not to startle her, I whisper to her. She turns around with a knife in her hand.
“We aren't here to hurt you. We want to make a truce. If we do, we can get out of here and join our families. Please, little girl, please make a truce.”
She nodded her head and there was a gunshot. The dome was opened. Out of nowhere a man appeared. He congratulated us and introduced himself as the dome maker. I loaded my bow with and arrow and aimed it at his chest.
“Careful now, if I die, you do too, along with that little girl and your boyfriend.”
I lower my bow and stare fiercly into his eyes. He smiles wryly and me. So, you must be Maple. I've been watching you for a very long time. I look at my feet, then back at his disgusting face. A new rage that I've never felt before concocts itself in my body. I run up to him and punch him straight in his eye. I smile and then fall to the ground.
That's the last I remember, and now I'm in this mental facility with a bandage around my throbbing broken fingers. I would punch him over and over in my mind. He was setting up a game just so innocent people end up slaughtering each other. I look at my throbbing hand, it was definitely worth it. I start letting my mind wander to random thoughts. My favorite being what my father used to tell me. This was the last thing I remember about him.
“Never walk away when the world is burning, the fire always loves a good chase.”
Those were his final words. They were mine too. Later that day, I was brutaly murdered by the man I punched. Those were my final words.
