Rage filled the arena, a flood of shouts and screams ricocheted across the trees. A swamp of people merged in the middle. Lucky ones grabbed weapons, swiped a pack and made a clear run for it. Others got caught up in bloodied fights as people grabbed weapons and started to use them. One teenage girl fell hard to the Earth, showing little movement as a dark red liquid grew around her tiny chest, she cried out with pain and fear as a attacker, an older girl retreated. A few seconds later, the girl stopped moving.
The man dressed in tweed stood dead on his podium, not making a single movement. His face screwed up to a repulsive expression as he watched the vulnerable girl lay helplessly on the grass. His fists clenched, containing anger in it's core as a female with a highlands accent screamed his name.
"Doctor! Doctor? What are you doing? Come on!" she screamed looking back over he shoulder as she ran to the trees. The male running close to the Scottish female stopped, turned and ran back to the man in tweed and tugged his sleeve.
"Come on, Doctor." he yelled at him, before the Doctor shook his head, wiping the thoughts from his mind and turned on his heel to run with them.
They stumbled into the heart of the forest. Stopping to catch their breath.
"Well, what the hell are we going to do now?" The male asked.
"Come on you two, the glorious Ponds, we'll think of something. Amy?" The Doctor said.
"Hah," she scoffed, placing her hands on her knees as she caught her breath, "it was you who got us into this mess in the first place."
"Agreed. A relaxing holiday in Space Florida you said! Not some reaping for the 'Hunger Games'." the male nodded, showing inverted commas with his fingers in the air.
"Yeah, how did our names get in their anyway?" Amy asked.
"I...I thought it was a raffle, you know, for a prize, something fun!" The Doctor replied, making a face of regret.
"What!? How stupid can you be sometimes?"
"You can talk, Rory, king of the stupid face!" he said, hearing a snort from Amy behind him. Rory threw her a look. "Anyway, you're lucky I am here with you. I had to travel to District 6 and rig it so I would be called out so I could be with you."
Amy walked a few paces and put herself in between the pair. "So, Doctor, as you're in a different District to us, I don't think you should be talking to us. We should be trying to kill you or something."
"I know, Pond, we'll think of something. And I don't think you should have said that out loud."
The Doctor stood up from his rest on a tree trunk and led to way to descend deeper into the woods in search of a suitable tree to climb.
