I know that the first person that Shadow will come after will be me. In the past me and Shadow were allies but ever since the destruction of our home world, Shadow believes that I blew up our home world. But then everyone believed him. Shadow had created a lie about me. So I was banished from the Mobian district and I had to live in district 2 where the Echidnas lived. They accepted me into their society knowing what had happened. There was only one who understood me and that was a red figure called Knuckles. Then when I was chosen for the games I thought that there was a chance that my people could forgive my actions if I die. Maybe there is a chance but there is only one thing I cannot stop worrying about and that is Knuckles' life. My voice has become shaky and lost. My eyes, the blue pools that lied in them had disappeared. The eyes had now turned Blood red with rage and despair. And my heart. Well I couldn't tell the difference if my heart was beating with fear or courage. Knuckles looked towards me with fear. " I know why you fear these games, I know the truth about you Kayla". Does he actually know about what I done. My past history. What happened between me and Shadow. I do not believe it for a second. " how can you be sure" and before Knuckles could speak there was a interruption that caught my eye for a second. We were passing district one. All I saw was a flash of blue, pink and black. I would know that black colour anywhere. My heart rate increases for my fate has been decided. I never known for my heart to beat as fast as it did that day. Then we arrived. Arrived in the place of beauty. The Capitol where the " warm-bloods" were getting off their trains but all cheering fell silent from the very moment my foot touched that step. Everyone turned around to see the 12 " creatures" as they call us that would be competing in these dreadful games. As I walk along I know that there is fear and hatred of us in everyone's eyes. I know that the Capitol is going to lie to us. They will cheat in the games. They give those disgusting warm bloods the advantage of starting earlier so when the games start they get to run and we have to wait and extra 10 seconds. I know that Knuckles' life is now in extreme danger. I know that his life must come before mine. I know that I must protect Knuckles', no matter the cost.
