Day 11. 45% darkness. (Looks like it's always sunset)
Flashes of darkness are in effect.
Arena tilted at 12 degree (slight slope, circular objects begin to rolls when placed on what appears to be flat surfaces)
Dead tributes: Seth, Ezra, Eden, Vein, Gaet, Tidus, Tyler, Solice, Frae, Sarah, Elidh, korthos, Quin, Lars, Tain, Tyra, Daniel, Cell, Dylen, Finitie, Terris, Raph and Jet.
Living tributes: Faith, Croy, Gloria, Riki, Shine, Thalia, Kiylee, Veron, Tylon, Hecate, Caitlyn, Annubis, Clara and Teak

"Hold still for a bit, please." Annubis held Gloria's hands steady as he placed the point of the chisel on one of the links on her handcuffs. Annubis belted the hilt of his short sword against the top of the chisel, severing it in half. The other two handcuffs were already taken off with the keys that Annubis and Teak carried around at all times. The third pair had to be chiseled off due to the fact that the key was still next to Finite's body.

"Now let's get the ones on your feet." Annubis pulled two more keys from his pocket and unlocked Gloria.

"Thanks... Now what?" Gloria asked curiously.

"I don't know, I was kinda hoping we could stay together?" Annubis looked sheepishly down at his feet while he waited for Gloria's reply.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Gloria and Annubis smiled at each other for a bit.

Time seemed to be endless as Gloria focused on his eyes. His eyes were deep green in the center and transitioned naturally into a light brown (I know this sounds like a weird eye color, but I know dozens of people with eyes like this)

Annubis finally broke the silence after what seemed like hours "We need to get you a weapon."

"Right... could you buy me some stuff?" (When Gloria was first captured, Finite smashed Gloria's arm band and hid all of her weapons.)

"I still have your throwing knives, but i will need to get you a short sword." Annubis began typing in an order for a short sword.

Gloria thanked Annubis as he handed her a short sword that appeared to be made out of marble stone along with her throwing knives.

"Cool sword."

Annubis grinned and put his hands behind his head. "I thought you would like it."

Gloria was about to say something when a noise stopped her. The sound of sniveling. "Something's coming."

"Understood." Annubis pulled a short sword out of sheath on his back and another blade out of a second sheath by his waste. The short swords were metaphysically hardened obsidian. It was pretty much a mutant rock formed into a pair of blades. All in all, they suited Annubis's style of clothing, all black with a dark grey bandana around his mouth to conceal his pure white teeth, even his black hair helped conceal his face and eyes.

Gloria was busy staring at Annubis when the chameleon wolves struck. Without warning, Gloria was tackled to the ground and getting mauled by the invisible beast.

From Annubis's point of view, Gloria was thrashing around on the ground in pain. "What's wrong!"

"There's a mutt on me!" Gloria kicked at the mutt and stabbed it in the face with one of her throwing knives. The wolfs fur rippled and turned black. The mutt was only a little bigger then a normal wolf.

Annubis stumbled back in shock. "Where did that thing come from?"

Gloria put her hand to her face and felt the blood trickle down her cheek. "I don't know; watch out for the sniveling though."

Deep in thought, Annubis lifted his hand to signify that he wanted silence. "I can hear them." Annubis stuck his hand into his pocket and tied a black blindfold around his eyes. "If I can't see them, I need to hear them."

Gloria was out raged, this was the worst idea she had ever seen, why make yourself blind, it wouldn't help anything. "Don't do it, fight them with your eyes open."

"Trust me." Annubis kicked open the door and walked outside.

"Get back here right now!" Gloria screeched.

"Too late now." Annubis turned to Gloria and pulled down his bandana, showing a patronizing smile.

Gradually the sniveling grew louder until it became a snarl. As soon as the snarl sounded, Annubis slashed out at the location of the sound, imbedding his blade inside of a wolf.

After that it became almost a dance, a wolf would make the slightest sound and Annubis would swiftly stab or slash at where the sound came from. Eventually the wolves started to jump at him but while they were in mid air Annubis would kill them, at one point he sliced the head of a wolf while it was jumping.

Once he was certain they were all dead, Annubis untied his blindfold and flung it to the floor. "I don't know how that looked, but it felt awesome!"

Gloria had conflicted feelings, it was dangerous and stupid, but it did look totaly awesome. "Just don't do it again."

"Why?" Annubis was suddenly upset with himself.

"Because I don't want you getting hurt." Gloria frowned at Annubis.

"What ever makes you happy, Gloria"

Meanwhile

Kiylee was nearly deaf from all the grenade explosions. They had been fighting for only a few minutes but the horde of mutts went down from thousands to hundreds.

As the last golems perished, Kiylee saw for the first time the true threat, across the other side of the arena was shine and Thalia. "Tributes at 9 o'clock."

Tylon and Veron both faced the opposite direction and began searching for tributes.

"Other way."

Both boys made the 'I am an idiot sound' that sounded something like this. "Ohhhhwwww LOL" (Tylon actually said LOL.)

"Gimme a grenade." Veron put his hand out and gestured for someone to give him a grenade.

Tylon shrugged "I got none."

"Same, all out." Kiylee followed

"Well then, looks like were doing this the old fashion way, swords out."

The tributes were just about to charge when the trees began to sway.

"Whoa, were those trees there a minute ago!" Veron looked around to see that somehow they were in the middle of a massive clearing with hundreds of thousands of trees surrounding them.

About 200 meters away was Shine and Thalia, having only just finished of the mutts they were fighting.

The tributes caught sight of each other and began walking towards each other. After a minute of extremely slow walking the tributes were only 10 meters away.

With out warning the leaves on all the trees turned either red or yellow.

"The trees are acting pretty messed up." Thalia whispered to Shine.

Little did they know that the trees would continue to get even more messed up.

Short chapter, I know, I'm use to writing 2500-3000 word chapters now... I had a bit of writers block, I had all these ideas but i couldn't figure out how to make them happen. Next chapter will star the big fight between the tributes.

Last chapter I only got one review and I felt sad, I always get inspired to write more when I read a review. I think it's the same as with authors. But I love waking up the day after I post a chapter and reading the 2-4 reviews I usually get.

Another reason why this took so long is I had a whole load of assignments and other stuff. I'll try to post this or next week, hopefully the chapter will be longer though.
