A.N/ I would like to dedicate this chapter to Snowshine37, almost called it quits with this story about a month ago, but you made me keep writing it (you said you would kill me if I didn't post the next chappie) :P JK, but you did inspiring and motivating me to do this story, so thx for that Snowy! :) (I should also make this dedacation since you were the one who got me into Warriors ({:

PS Thx so much guys for your kind-hearted reviews, it makes me feel so good inside when people like my story and tell me that. :D *I throw out random cookies and Honeypaw plushies*

Also, sorry I doidn't realize that Beetlewhisker is dead but let's just say Brokenstar couldn't kill him before he woke up, k? ^^'

Honeypaw POV

I opened my eyes to find myself in Thunderclan's tribute's den. I wish the reaping was just a bad dream. I looked towards the entrance to see a bramble wall blocked the way out, but some cracks in the ceiling gave me the hint that it was just before dawn.

I sighed sadly when I thought of today. Let the Games begin... My stomach turned into a giant knot as I thought of my dream I just had. I knew that what the games were and I was going to really be in the middle of it. I thought over the plan and I tried to relax, but I couldn't.

Why must I be in these games Starclan!? I got up sadly and stretched when I soon saw what looked like a Starclan cat with black fur, long limbs, and emerald-green eyes, open the entrance.

I tilted my head to the side, confused since she just blinked at me then slowly walked away. I wondered who the cat was when I saw Leafpool yawn and then wake up right before the meeting.

"Tributes, come out right now!" yolwed a voice that I recognized as Thistleclaw's. All of the Thunderclan tributes slowly got up and headed outside to see many Dark Forest warriors around the camp and glaring and smiling at each one of us, I think since they imagine how much fun they think it will be to kill us.

"Today, the games will begin, but first eat and then at sun-high, we'll meet back here to leave for the arena," announced Tigerstar who was next to him. I looked over my shoulder to see Brambleclaw glaring at Tigerstar. I can't believe Brambleclaw has Tigerstar as a father!

"So eat a good meal, chat and form alliances then the games shall begin," smiled Hawkfrost.

After the meeting, I ran to the fresh-kill pile and retrieved a big, fat, gray squirrel which smelled strongly of Thunderclan. When I sniffed it again, I picked up my scent. It smells like the squirrel I caught when it landed in camp!

"Honeypaw, want to seat by me?" asked Deerpaw as he picked up a mouse from the pile. I looked over my right to see Squirrelflight beckoning me with her puffy squirrel like tail.

"Sorry, but I need to talk to my great-aunt," I replied as I left Deerpaw behind and sat beside my alliance that was right next to our den.

"Everyone got some good sleep last night?" asked my clan leader as I took a bite of my squirrel. I didn't want to say I had a terrible nightmare (though I think everyone had one last night) since they might think I'm just a scared little kit.

"Yes my bossy fur-ball," smiled Squirrelflight as she batted her one white paw playfully at Brambleclaw's ear. The brown tabby smiled for a second but it disappeared as soon as it came.

"So remember the plan, Leafpool and Squirrelflight will run and me and Honeypaw will run and get supplies." I continued to eat my squirrel as I saw the different clans get into their alliances.

I looked at Leafpool gazing at Crowfeather who was with his mate and a couple other tributes from Windclan. I then turned to Brambleclaw to see him staring at his sister, Tawnypelt. We can't take care of more cats! You already made me decide we only take care of the few cats we care most about, not everyone!

The rest of the morning was just filled with eating and talking with Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw and Leafpool, so it was pretty much boring. If I was home now, I would be doing battle training with Rosepetal! (FYI that's her mentor)

"Tributes come under the Great Oak now!" commanded Brokenstar. His voice was cold and demanding as all the tributes slowly made their way to the center of the clearing.

"The arena shall be not be in the territories, but in the land of the dead. You see this stone, when you touch it, "he moewed as the black she-cat from earlier and a new brown tabby she-cat with bright amber eyes pushed a stone about two tail-lengths high and a tail-length wide.

"You'll be transported into the arena. When you arrive there, you'll be in a small circle. If you move out of the circle before Mapleshade tells you, one of us Dark Forest warrior will kill you. So press your nose against it and let the odds ever be in your favor!" smiled Hawkfrost. Leafpool looked at me as everyone walked forward but I was still standing there like a mouse-brain.

"Come on, you don't want Tigerstar to see you like that," whispered Leafpool into my ear. I walked up to the stone stiffly and blinked back tears. No going back now.

I opened my eyes to see myself in a clearing with a thick layer of leafs. Probably to make us fall down when we run so it's easier for someone to kill us. I thought bitterly. I looked to my right to see Deerpaw and to my left to see a dark, long-haired gray tom with dark blue eyes. Crowfeather, my grandfather.

"The games shall begin in 10-" I looked over to my far right, about 5 fox-lengths, to see Squirrelflight, Leafpool and Brambleclaw.

"9-" I looked behind where the two sisters stood to see a thick forest about nine fox-lengths away and in the opposite direction was a long, blue, thick river and in-between the two areas was hills and valleys.

"8-" I tried to take in the surroundings. Some Shadowclan tributes were in the position of running towards the Cornicupia. Windclan tributes looked at the hills and meadows and smiled, they were probably running away to the fields. Then I looked at Riverclan to see them looking at the river and the Cornicupia, as if they couldn't decide which to bolt to.

"7-" Brambleclaw positions himself so he was heading to the center so I tried to move into a sprinting position, but my limbs were shaking so much that I couldn't move.

"6-" My heart beated really fast. Six more heartbeats before I might die.

"5-" I thought of my family as they watched this right now. Cinderheart was most likely crying, Lionblaze was burning with anger, Hollypaw is probably crying with Cinderheart, Firepaw is shaking and Dewpaw... I didn't know how he was feeling right now.

"4-" I dug my claws into the leafs when I saw Deerpaw flicking his tail at the woods. I wanted to tilt my head in confusion but I shook the idea out, I won't let him think I'm dumb.

"3-" I took a deep breathe and tried to imagine that I was just going to hunt after a squirrel in the forest at home.

"2-" I turned my attention to the Cornicupia. There, their was about thirty leaf bundles and a pile of prey from sparrows to rabbits towards the river and a pile of dog-tooth necklaces about three tail-lengths away from me. Then to the left of the bundles of leafs was some sharp teeth that were really tiny, only a claw bigger than a poppy seed, but I saw Berrynose blink back tears when he saw them.

"1-" I flicked my tail and dug my claws deeper into the ground. My heart beated faster and my legs were shaky.

"0! Let the Games begin!" yolwed Mapleshade. I sprinted towards the leaf-bundles to see a pale gray she-cat growl at me and scartch my side. I tried to push her off but instead she was digging her claws into my neck.

I wriggled free and stumbled towards the bundles. I quickly grabbed two to then finally see Brambleclaw. He was shaking off warriors as he grabbed a rabbit and a squirrel. Then I felt adrenaline pump through my veins when I saw Leafpool and Squirrelflight being chased by two warriors that reeked of Riverclan.

I ran over to then, man did my legs hurt by now, and jumped on the tom that was a ginger and white tabby with dark green eyes. I clawed at his side, causing blood getting over my paws and I right now worry about that. My family was being chased down.

The tom stop and turned to face me. I suddenly felt terror flood my body when I compared the size of him and then me, the small tiny 6-moon-old apprentice (plus the fact that I'm ready small for my age).

Okay, plan. What am I good at? Speed and climbing, well scratch out climbing, but speed, I never learned how to use that. Why couldn't I have one day of battle-training before the games!?

Beetlewhisker narrowed his eyes then leaped on me and but his paw on my throat as I then heard a high pitch yowl that I knew. Lilypaw...

The tom started to dig his claws into my neck when I just looked up him. From what I over heard from Ivypool once, she said Beetlewhisker hates killing the innocent, so please let my small kit-like face make him feel guilty!

I gave my saddest, biggest eyes I could and just stared at him. I saw the tom blink then sigh.

"I'll let you go, but we'll meet again," meowed the tom as he then went over to the other Riverclan cat and they then headed towards the direction of the river. I slowly got up but I couldn't believe what just happened. He let me go, he didn't kill me. The thought made me happy and scared. He said we'll meet again and then he would kill me.

I didn't notice my wounds until Leafpool flickered her skinny tail towards an old empty log that had weeds all around it.

"Sit," ordered the tabby as I laid down I then looked at the cut on my side. It was thin and long but blood was all over my flank and then I tried to look at my neck to see a wound about the size of my paw but was semi-deep since blood cover my pale brown tabby chest.

"Bramblestar, you made it!" smiled Squirrelflight as she ran over to the dark brown tabby who carried squirrel and one leaf bundle that reeked of herbs.

"Of course I did, do we have any major wounds?" asked the former leader as he looked at the log to see Leafpool applying cobwebs (that were in the leaf-bundle I got) and a golden pulp about the size of leaf to the wound on my neck.

"Honeypaw has a scratch on her flank and throat but I believe she can pull through as long as she stays still and gets plenty of herbs applied," replied Leafpool as she got up and looked nervously at my neck. Saddness was in her eyes as she blinked and looked back at her sister.

"We are near the cornicupia and we have few herbs so we have to very careful," meowed Bramblestar as Squirrelflight looked at him. Then the sound of thunder shook the ground five times, signalling that five tributes died today.

"Did any of our clanmates die?" I meowed rasply as Bramblestar looked at me.

"Berrynose was died right after you ran here and Lilypaw had a major neck injury but was being carried by Graystripe, but I think she is one of the dead, but we'll find out tonight in the stone," meowed Bramblestar as he looked at a small crystal about five fox-lengths away.

I felt saddness crep up on me as I thought of two of our clanmates dying. No time for greifing, we have to survive! I looked at my paws to see Beetlewhisker's blood on them. The blood will always be there, the games have truely begun...
