My head is spinning, My heart pounding "Were am I?" I think to myself. I'm moving up It was only seconds before I was in the games. Before I even realized it I was in the arena. I see the cornucopia."I need to get some throwing knifes." I think. I look over just to my right I see an old friend Fluttershy. She used to be in my district before they moved her to district 8. During my training I was able to gain some weight so could I go longer with out food. Then I practiced with some knifes , I figured out what barriers to eat and how to blend in with trees. I can see the counter projected above the cornucopia. Its the final seconds.5...4...3...2...1.I hear the cannon .and sprint into the Blood bath. I feel a fallen tributes blood on my back leg. I was unable to grab anything so I run and hide in the cornucopia.

I look up and I see a fallen I look around I see three packs of throwing knifes and a pack. I look inside the pack and I find Rope a lighter three water bottles and a pack of beef jerky. I walk out and I look for a place to set up camp. I see a Tree with a thick branch could use to sleep on." I need to start a fire, and find a water source." I think. I look for fire wood first, I start to scrape off bark on trees to start a fire then I begin to Break branches." While I was gathering branches and twigs I hear the canon, Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom,7. "that's seven less I have to worry about." I say sickened that's what I am worrying about. I walked only walked 10 steps be for seeing them a group I don't move they pass.

I put out my fire and climb in my tree. I fall asleep."Fluttershy were are you?" I hear a little foal say. "What the?" I think. Then I see somepony, Fluttershy "hehe Elix I'm Right here" I hear her say she looks the same age as the other foal. "Wait did she say Elix?"I see the two then I remember this was the last time we played before transferred to district 8.I watch as ponies in white suits walk over to her and take her to her new home"fluttershy?"I hear the little foal say "Fluttershy come back, Come back Please "he started to cry I could not believe my eyes they took her just like was so long ago it happened but to relive that moment hurt me. I walk over to the foal. "hey you ok" I ask. He looks at me and screams. I wake up and I see a tribute that fell out of a tree he had a bow and arrow. It looked as if he was going to shoot me but his hoof slipped. He got hit with three of his own arrows one in the front leg and two in the back legs "Kill me "she asked. babs seed was part of the CMC "I'm sorry I will not" I told her "hold still and keep down" I grip the arrows in the back legs,She screams "Shh" I tell her I look around I find some aloe I squish the sap out of it and I put on some leaves and wrap it around her legs "off you go" I tell her "what? but what about my front legs" she asks" you will have to limp I'm not going to yank out the other." I say" why" she says mixed anger and sad" you must have inner strength once you find it you will be able to" I explain. She accepts and limps off.

I didn't get much sleep after that dream it brought back, bad memories. am running low on water "I need to find a water source" I thought to my self. As I walk I hear something a creak. I rush towards it on the way there I see a fallen I check there body for anything only an empty water bottle and an extra knife looked like for gutting fish. I refilled my water bottles and looked for fish. I was able to make a crude spear but I was able to snag two fish. When I was walking back I heard something Knick Knick I looked behind and I saw a youth tribute, Scootaloo. She had throwing knifes and she almost nailed me. I took my knife and threw it at her back hoof she was hurt and I was able to get away. After that I climbed in to a tree and heard the canon 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.12 shots

I was worried. "If there was 12 shots then the weak players are gone, and there could of been 13 shots I lucked out."

"So if there were forty-eight tributes seven died the first day and twelve died the second day that leaves thirty-six tributes. "The anthem plays and I look at the sky to see if Fluttershy passed. Big mac, Babs, spitfire. No fluttershy I am thankful she is still alive. Then it hit me "only one can win I don't want to have to kill fluttershy, But I need to money." my mother was in the hospital trying to fight cancer." I need the money for the treatment" I thought to myself "And I'll will never for get her face when I was reaped" I could feel tears rolling down my face." I can feel my eyes getting heavier and I fall asleep.

I wake up and I see somepony. A tribute, Poisoning on of my bottles I throw a knife and he gets flustered and grabs the bottle he poisoned and he ran. I got down and I grabbed his bottle. However it was not water it was sap aloe sap. I took it and walked on to find a new hideout. A little down the ways I see a tribute a yellow I got closer I saw who is was,Fluttershy. I ran to her,"fluttershy!" I said filled with joy to see her, She looks up and see's me "Elix is that really you?" she asks "yes, yes it is" I say. I hug her" ow,ow" she says. I look at her and I see that her wing looks broke. "what happened?" I ask her "I was looking for shelter and up in a tree and my wing got cramped, then I fell on my wing." she explains" I have some bandages here let me see your wing" I take her wing and I put the three bones together and wrapped it up. I see sun fall and i hear canons 7 shots.7 more tributes dead. Just then I hear rustling .I hold up my knife "Who's there" there came out tributes Shining armor, Marble pie and sweetie bell. "stand down can we truce" asks Shining armor "can I trust you" I ask him "yes, yes you can "he assures us. that night we talked about are lives Shining armor talked about he has his younger sister that was also in the games. Marble also had a sibling in the games we told them how we have been friends since she was transferred.

The next day i go with part of the group to go hunting for tributes. we were unable to get any kills but we did get a lot of supplies when we got back the camp was in ruins Marble died shining armor and fluttershy were no were to see. I parted my group and made a new camp quickly I used the last off my lighter to make a fire. I thought I saw fluttershy in the distance but I did not go look I didn't want to die. I heard the canon 10 shots. Then I heard somepony I turned around and snapped the pony's neck in only three seconds of seeing him."I hope fluttershy survives" I think

"Hey wake up" I hear some pony say "ahh What the who are you" I say in a fluster I am twilight sparkle Shining armors sister" she explains "oh well what do you want" I ask " I need you too help me kill somepony "she smirks" ok? who" I am confused "Luna she is going to be at a pond soon so we need to drown her "she says" ok what's in it for me" I usually don't kill "we can split her loot" she puts out her hoof "do we have a deal?" she asks "ugh fine" I shake her hoof I follow her to the pond and Luna is there. I ram into her knocking her in, then twilight jumps on top of her and drowns her. I have no interest in the loot I need to find fluttershy. I find a tribute poised so I put her out of her misery. Out of the corner of my eye I see fluttershy she is running away from Shining armor I throw my last knife at his off front hoof and it slows him down I jump in front of fluttershy "back off my friend" I tell him "this isn't over elix" he limps away. "Fluttershy are you ok?" I ask "yes, you saved me, Your. Your my hero" she kisses my cheek. I blush "come on lets get going"

I hear an announcement

" Arena Event Smoke"

I look over at fluttershy and I see a poison smoke coming near us "Run" I tell her we bust out into a full on sprint I feel something hit my hoof and I trip the smoke is coming quickly "its over" I think. but then I see fluttershy she picks me up and pushes me away "Fluttershy what are you...?" the smoke consumes her I hear her final words "Even heroes need saving, go elix win the Equestia games." I am stunned "she saved my live but at a cost" I think "rest peacefully Fluttershy." I say, I look at a camera and show my respect's I walk away I see something in the sky its shining armor and twilight he is choking her and throws her in the smoke with no hesitation in the sky Twilight looked as if she said something "I looked up to you. Now I regret every thing you taught me, Your not my brother you just a bad man". "One should not kill there own kin" I say angrily

I find his camp and I find his water supply one bottle I put on a glove and squeeze poison berry juice in to his water I wait for three hours when he comes back I watch him drink it and one hour latter he is dying I come over to finish him before I do I tell him " one should never kill there own blood" and I stab him in the chest Ending him and then I hear it the last canon shot boom I hear the announcer "the winner of this years Equestria Games is Elix, head to the cornucopia to leave". I walk back to were Fluttershy died I find a patch of flowers and give them to fluttershy i put them in her hoof and walk away. Ending the year's Equestra games.

Epilogue

When I came home with the money it was to late my mother had passed away during the third night of the games. I gave the money to Fluttershy's mother and father. I only hope they can move on. I have but I will never forget the sacrifice people make every day. I am Elix and I won the Games at a cost of losing my friend.
