The Anubis Games

I took off running away from the ghost that was haunting me.

"You better win! Or else everyone you love will die." She said.

"Please please don't." I begged. "What do you want me to do?"

"Touch my hand." She said. I touched her hand.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"One of the tributes that died." She started. "My name is Senkarah. I now own you."

I woke up with a startle. My whole body shook. I looked at the surroundings I was at. All of the events came back. Sagi almost killing me. Fabian almost dying. Fabian! I looked at my side and saw he was wide awake.

"Nina, thank god you are awake. " He said hugging me. I sit up but regretted because a sharp pain came from my stomach and head.

"Uh!" I said in pain clutching my stomach. I tried sitting up again but the pain started again. I groaned in pain.

"Hey, hey take it easy." Fabian said and helped me lay down.

"Does anybody know we are in here?" I asked.

"No, just in case with my art skills, I had to put things on the hole because people could easily get in. But don't worry I put one hole that will allow us to breathe." He said.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I feel much better. I think I'm fine now. But you are not." He joked but serious too. A sharp pain came from my stomach.

"Ah!" I yelped in pain not loudly.

"Nina I have no idea what's happening." He said. "May I?" Looking at my stomach. I nodded. He lifted up my shirt and was staring at it in horror.

"Nina, i think when Sagi sliced your neck he did something to your stomach." He said. I shrugged still in pain. The pain was okay after awhile.

"Fabian, I'm sorry." I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"I really do want to be your girlfriend but if you die or I die it won't be worth it." I said.

"Then we can work it out and make the best of it." Fabian said.

"You know what your right. Yes I'll be your girlfriend." I said and smiled. We leaned in and kissed for the first time. The kiss started as sweet but passionate. We pulled apart after.

"Wow!" Was all I can say. We smiled. After that, we fell asleep. I had that dream again.

"You foolish girl! Stop fooling and kill the boy." Senkarah scolded.

"Fabian? No! I will not allow you to force me to do things that I don't want to." I said.

"But you must! I demand you to kill the boy." She yelled.

"And your demand will be vedoed(1) by me." I said my confidence building up.

I woke up and a smile formed my face as I stood up for myself. I took a breath and my face scrunched up. What is that vile(2) stench. I smelled everywhere until it landed on Fabian. I look at his leg and saw his leg all red and yellow. I gasped and shrieked. I cursed myself. Damn you Nina! Fabian stirred in his sleep and started waking up. Stupid! Fabian's eyes opened and it was bloodshot.

"Nina?" He croaked still sleepy. I was still shocked to speak.

"Earth to Nina?" He asked. I blinked cautiously.

"Um, y-your l-leg I-is I-infected." I stammered obviously in shock and in horror.

Fabian looked at his leg and his face turned pale white. He put on a fake sad smile.

"Nina, no worries. We can treat it with the cream that Robert send." He said. I nodded still unable I speak. I hesitantly reached for the cream and opened the lid. I slowly scooped a handful of cream and gently rubbed it on his leg. I looked up and saw Fabian's face scrunched up in agony.

"Fabian, it's okay, just let out the pain." I whispered. He got the message and moaned in pain. His face still scrunched up. After I was done, I stroked his hair and gently kissed his lips. He smiled and gently took my hand.

"Nina, thank you." He said. I smiled.

"For what?" I asked.

"For treating me. I wasn't even helping you when you got hurts. Knowing that you'll risk your life for me is too much. I-" He didn't finish because tears started flowing his cheeks and he started crying.

"Shhh. Fabian it's okay. I know you were trying to help. I'm not mad. Fabian, spending time with you before I die is the best cure for me. I don't care if you don't treat me the way I treat you because your my first love. You make me smile with your kind words and your gentle touches and words. You make me feel like a princess in so many ways that I love you for that. So don't put your self down about it because it's not your fault." I said smiling tears spilled on my cheeks. He wiped them away. I kissed him.

"But, your not going to die. Don't say that ever again. Your not going die. I'm not letting you." Fabian said tears forming.

"What choice do I have. Risking your life or my life. I rather risk my life than yours. You have much of a life than me." I said.

"No, I'm not letting you. Nina, you don't deserve any of this. Why would you risk your life that is so beautiful. My mom abused me and my dad hates me. You already risked your life over Sagi and I'm not letting you risk it again. You understand me." He said. Tears formed and my tear stained face were replaced with new ones.

"I rather have my life taken than you. I'm sorry Fabian." I said.

"Nina, stop! No. Please please. I'm begging you to not risk your life." He said. I heard a cannonball boom. It hasn't done that for such a long time. One. Two. Three. And that's all. Wow. Now there's twelve of us. When that was done, I looked at Fabian who fell asleep.

"I am pleased to announce that they're will be a feast tomorrow morning." Jason said over speaker. Yes! Fabian really needs it. I'm getting that. But that last sentence caught off guard and made me the happiest person alive.

"And also they're can be two victors from the same district."
