Power outage. If you don't believe me, google north carolina tornado :(

District 4

Skylar

I clung silently to the wall, watching silently as Medal walked into the room. He did a quick look around and walked out frowning. I climbed higher up the wall and over the divide separating the rooms to watch him search the next room. It was quite funny to watch him search for his spear. Which happened to be tied to my back.

He's been searching for over an hour and I've been watching him the entire time, trying to keep a laugh in. He exited this room after punching the wall.

The walls in the building were nearly a hundred feet tall and completely white. The didn't go all the way up to the ceiling though, they had a gap between the ceiling and the top of the wall of about twenty feet. A perfect way to mess with Medal.

"Skylar!" He called out as I scuttled between this room and the next.

"Yeah?" I called back.

"Where are you?" He said confused spinning around. I grinned from my perch above him.

"Up here."

He looked up and even from this height I could see the smile etch itself onto his face.

"You found my spear!" He said, absolutely delighted.

"Uh…of course I found your spear. I defiantly didn't take it and watch you scurry around trying to find it." I climbed off the wall and handed him his spear.

"Are you serious? That wasn't very nice babe." His pouty face appearing. I never would have guessed he had one until we started….going out. I guess thats what we were. I stood on my toes and kissed him.

"Don't worry, I'll make up for it later." He smiled mischievously.

"Oh? By doing what?"

I stood on my toes again and whispered some not very appropriate things into his ear. I could almost feel his smile widening.

He pulled my face from his ear and began to kiss me. I could feel my heart begin to beat faster, and faster. My breath began to come in pants, matched by Medals. There were a lot of uncertainties in my life at this moment; like whether or not I was going to be getting out of this arena or not, Or when we were going to be targeted by the makers of this game, or even when my next meal was (stupid wolves ate everything). But the one certainty in my life was that I loved Medal. And he loved me.

District 11

Rue

"One….two…three…Push!" Lilith ordered. Lilith herself was standing off to the side while forcing Zach and I to push against a huge boulder blocking a grocery store. In fact the ONLY grocery store. According to Lilith the wolves and the fanged people accidentally blocked it off when they were fighting. Stupid mutts. Thats why I brained ,like, twelve of them with my bare hands.

"Good job. Now again. One…two…"

"Okay Lilith. You need to get over here and help." Zach said ,backing off the oversized rock.

"What? But I'm the brains here. I'm the one with any information about this arena." She said tapping her head.

"Lilith. Your the only one here with voices in their head. How does that put you in any position of power? I mean really." He said exasperated.

"Thats a low blow." She frowned with a very fake look of hurt on her face. "And again. One….two….three….push!" I rolled my eyes and gave the rock a violent shove, moving it entirely away from the door.

"Well. Why didn't you do that earlier."

"It was fun to watch you struggle. Now lets go get some grub." I walked triumphantly ahead of the pair from three, both of which were glaring daggers at my back. Having superhuman strength is awesome. Not only does it give me an extreme ability to defend myself but I can also mess with anyone I want and they can say nothing about it.

The building had rows and rows of columns filled with all kinds of different products, most of which I never heard of. I mean…what the heck is a sponge? I gave this section with black canisters a wide birth. Any place that cold with canisters that say 'monster' right on the side is a big no-no in the games.

"Found something!" Zach called. I jogged through the rows and rows of the products until I found Zach dressed in a bright pink hoodie. "Isn't it great? Now we won't have to be all cold at night."

"Zach," I giggled, "don't you feel…a little weird dressed in such a…flamboyant color?" He waved his hand in front of his face.

"Color blind. Remember?" Oh yeah. I feel like a jerk now.

A scream. A roar. A mutt had found us.

I do realize how short this chapter is and how this is only ONE chapter but I have good cause. Tomorrow will bring a new chapter :) that is…if their isn't another tornado to knock out the power...
