First Light

What if you got caught in a game you didn't know was all around you? Could you get out without hurting the ones you love most. Life is just a game and if you're not prepared, game over...AUish. Temporary Hiatus.

Preface

I never thought I would be looking death in the face. At least, not like this.

I always thought those scenarios where people die heroically for loved ones were phony and cheesy. Never did I think I would be willing to die for someone, someone I hardly knew, yet loved so much. But, if I had to die young, at least it was for a good cause, right? It could even be thought of as noble. And here I was, staring into the barrel of gun, just to make sure he was kept safe.

I watched as the Tracker lit his cigarette with one hand, never letting the one with the gun leave its position inches from my face. His eyes met mine and he grinned, motioning to the clock on the wall with his head. I looked and whimpered slightly. He chuckled lightly and took a long drag from the cigarette, tossing it aside. "Let's play a game," he whispered, taking the gun from my face.

I closed my eyes in defeat. It was three thirty-three.

My time of death.
