HUNTRESS FICTION
It's been a while since I have been able to go to sleep peacefully. Even since my encounter with
the Goddess, I've had a hard time doing anything that is considered rest. Mainly, I've been out running, trying to clear my head of what happened last week. I still can't believe She killed everyone. Mostly, I cannot comprehend that Felix really did all those horrible things! I had always thought he was an awesome guy, always the leader of the Pride. He had looked out for them...for me. But now I can see that he only did that to get me to kill that guy. I do admit, he was just another scum-bag from NYC, but that didn't mean he deserved to get chased by them and ultimately die. I'm just glad I was a lucky one; one who got away.
"Are you coming? We've got to get going, or the rest of the team is going to catch up with us!" yelled Amy as she picked up her speed, barreling down the path deeper into Central Park. She had become much more outgoing since we met in 9th grade, as well as quite faster.
"I'm just waiting up for Kylie!" I yelled back at her. She decided to slow down, and walked back to me. "You do know Coach is going to kill us when she finds out we keep cutting the seniors. I love doing it and all, but I really don't want to even think of running double suicides after each lap! And I doubt you want to do them either."
"Very true!" she said, resting her hands on the top of her head to breathe easier. "And Coach might just get crazy enough to ban us from Districts. I sure as hell hope not. I've been working my ass off trying to perfect my 200-meter. I just know I'm going to beat Sammy from Lottin Chiles."
"If she takes us out, I might as well say goodbye to my scholarship."
Finally, I saw Kylie racing past the bend, a look of horror on her face.
"What's the matter, Kylie?? Where is everyone else. I would have thought they would have caught up to us by now. Even Coach wouldn't let them..."
"Coach was running off the track on the side," Kylie blurted out, both speedily and out of breath. "and then she tripped over something. When she got back up...she saw...a...a..."
"Come on, Ky! What is it?" asked Amy, while still trying to keep Kylie from having a heart attack.
"She tripped over a dead body!!" she finally answered. "You have to come. Coach says no one is allowed by themselves, and we all have to run back to the entrance as soon as we can." she told us as she already began her sprint back to the team. We chased after her, not knowing what else to do.
