I had no idea where I was going. I was simply running. The battle had begun and I was running for my life. They had sent 20 of us at the school, 10 boys and 10 girls, into this big arena. We had to fight to the death.

I looked behind me and saw Eddy, my friend, following me.

"You're trying to kill me?" I sputtered out at him.

"Not at this second," he said. "I want to help you."

"Sorry, Eddy. I'm flying solo right now."

Eddy stopped and watched me run off.

I ran off into the nearby woods, and night fell eventually.

There were 20 people fighting to the death. Me (my name's Eddward; I know, weirdorama), my friends Ed, Eddy, Jonny and my cousin Ben, Rolf, Plank, Kevin, Eddy's Brother and Jimmy were the boys chosen. The girls were Sarah, May, Nazz's cheerleader friend, Carol (a girl who briefly went out with Eddy last year; it ended in court), Andrea (Plank's cousin; she actually was a real human being which makes me wonder about things), another cheerleader, Lee, Marie, Kuku (Rolf's sister from 'zee old counturee'), and-

And Nazz. Oh God.

If it came down to the two of us the only survivors, I don't know if I could kill her. I can't…

The cannon rang and I found myself looking into the sky and seeing who that day died, and why they did so.

Lee's dead. She was gored, cut, burned, amputated, decapitated, and just about anything bad that ever happened to anyone ever. I hated her, but I didn't want her to die THAT violently.

Eddy's Brother showed up with a slit throat. Even though he is my best friend's brother, I felt no sympathy.

Nazz's cheerleader friend's dead. She was shot, but didn't die right away. Blood loss.

There was a slight pang somewhere in my heart when my cousin Ben showed up. Gored. Who is it that likes to gore people?

Then they did the survivors and their strategies so far. 'So it can be fair' I think I heard someone say about it. Bah.

It showed me, and it said N/A under my strategy.

Ed: N/A.

Eddy: Sneaking up and slicing. So Eddy got his brother. Nice.

Jonny: N/A.

Rolf: Goring. So Rolf is the slaughterhouse. I never believed he would have lasted beyond the first day, so it was a bit of a shock.

Plank: Acting like a chicken. Nice going, Plank. This is what I thought as the cannon rang out again, and Plank showed up. He had died because he 'suffocated on air'. Nice.

Kevin: N/A.

Jimmy: N/A for now, but has been seen with dagger. Dagger? I look uneasily to my left, right, up, down, and every other direction.

Nazz: N/A.

Sarah: Gun. I never would have thought it, he thinks sarcastically.

The rest of the girls were all N/A except for Kuku, who had teamed up with Rolf. There was a cheesy 'that is all', and the lights were off.

I knew I couldn't sleep (at least not in an open space) so I kept walking.
