"Hello internet." Dan said into his camera, wondering whether this'd be his last time he did this. "So as you'll know I've chosen for The YouTube Hunger Games. You know I'm beginning to wish I'd actually done my new year's resolutions. Oh well..."
He'd trained for two weeks and today was the day. He's in the arena next to Phil.
Phil turned to him, eyes like mirrors reflecting all of Dan's feelings and worries back at him, "I'm scared."
"Me too."
"Can we stay together? Until the end?"
"Until the end. God, what have we turned into. We're so cheesy!" Dan laughed half-heartedly, he couldn't sound happy for anything.
"KILL PHIL!" Phil joked.
Dan just looked at him. He'd always wanted to meet more YouTubers, but not this way. Directly opposite him was Lilly, her eyes were glazed over, he wondered what she was thinking, 'Why am I here?', 'What are my chances of winning?', 'I wonder whether there's any wifi?'.
The countdown began.
10. Lilly snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at him.
9. Felix swore quite loudly.
8. Marzia raised an eyebrow fractionally at Felix
7. Anthony and Ian shared a secret glance.
6. Tanya and Jim reached for each other.
5. Zoe was visibly shaking
4. Joe gave her a small smile
3. Phil let out a shaky breath
2. Dan winked at him.
1. Dan(isnotonfire) slipped making an explosion rattling everyone's ears.
The explosion caught Bunny and Rafi too.
Phil realized three things at once then:
1 - He was screaming really loud
2 - The games had begun
3 - Jesse was storming towards him with what looked like to be a machete.
Phil turned and sprinted towards the near-by woods.
After hours of running Phil's stomac grumbled. He was so hungry, he'd been so caught up in his closest friend's death. 'Until the end' how ironic, that was the last thing he said to Phil.
Phil collapsed; his cheeks wet, with new and old tears.
