Axel Porter, 16, District 6 Male
Rushing through the forest, tree branches crack as my feet hit the floor. I followed the footsteps of whatever kidnapped Surrey and her friends last night. Where would they be taking them? I hoped that they were all alright.
The footsteps ended as an old building appeared from the fog. It had cracked and busted windows, rusty metal structures, and broken bricks everywhere. I cautiously pushed open the heavy metal door with all my strength and entered the building. The flashlight in my hands shook as I took each step into the dark building.
Suddenly I came across a door, I opened it. As I entered the carousel appeared. I saw the opened gates and rushed in there to see four bodies. My eyes bursted into tears when I noticed Surrey's body, my legs trembled to the floor, my hands covered my face, as I wailed on the floor.
That's when I noticed a gray tape on the floor. I cautiously picked it up and played it.
"Hello Axel. I want to play a game. As a drug user and a person addicted to morphine,you damaged your body with drugs and pain. Now the needle will save your life and HER'S. Yes, Surrey is still alive, although she's only been put into a coma with a poisonous dart. Above you are the poisons you entered your body, if you fail this test, you will perish. By entering the trapdoor, a timer will be started. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock and retrieve the antidote inside. This antidote will bring Surrey out of the coma and you will be free together. I will give you just one hint as to where that key is: it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Let the game begin." A deep voice would say.
Before I could respond a trap door opened, revealing a pit of at least 2000 used morphing needles. I gasped and realized that the key to the antidote was inside. I knew that I had to save Surrey so I got into a pit. I heard a beep and turned my head to see that a sixty second timer started. I panicked as the needles entered my skin.
I screamed in pain as I moved around the pit, running my hands through to find the key. My blood dripped out of my hands and arms, making my hands slippery. I turned my head once again to see I only had twenty eight seconds left. I panicked even more and went quicker. My blood was all over the trapdoor of needles, I suddenly found the key and gasped quickly grabbing it and climbed out the trapdoor. I limped towards the door that only had five seconds left and tried to open the door with my slippery bloody hands.
5,4, 3, 2, 1..
As I saw one I dropped the key, the timer hit the zero as Surrey's began to shake as blood poured out her mouth and a cannon fired. I panicked and banged on the door, but it was too late. A board of needles swung down at me as it stabbed me, pushing me towards the metal bar door. I scream as hydrofluoric acid is injected into my back. I scream out loud as blood begins to pour out my mouth, my back begins to sizzle and melt. Steam began to form as I gave out one last scream and I stopped moving. My lower torso melted completely off, as it fell to the floor, my intestines fell out everywhere with a giant pool of blood. My cannon then sounded.
Kane Hughes, 17, District 7 Male
I was district 7's last hope. Audrey Undergrove trained me well and now is the time to show what I got. I woke up in a dark room as I heard the screams of my allies, Jersey and Ronin. I shake my head angrily, where the fuck are they. I use my flashlight as I open the door, the lights turned on in the next door over and I see my allies below me. They both have some sort of metal rod device on their chests I look around as a giant monitor plays a video.
"Hello, Kane. You have seen the flaws in your allies, but what you have not seen is the extent some people will go to when faced with death. The allies in front of you have 90 seconds to cross this room or the device attached to their chest will discharge and pierce her brain. They will find that the journey across this room is filled with danger. In order for them to make it, you will need to be there for them and it is you who ultimately holds the key to their survival. When faced with death, will they have the skills to live? Let the game begin." The dummy on the screen would say as he disappeared.
I remember the dummy from the bloodbath, he caused me to nearly die and my district partner killer. I looked next to me and noticed the timer started.
"FUCK YOU!" I screamed in agony, but I needed to help them.
"Jersey, Ronin, follow my directions. Turn left." I tell them.
"Ok!" They responded with panic.
They did as they were told, and after a few more commands they made it up top. A chainsaw was there for them, a picture showed a key in my stomach. How the fuck did that get there? I thought and suddenly realized that if I wanted them to survive, I had to die for them.
They both picked up a saw, and with desperation they charged at me.
"LET US CUT YOU UP!" They both screamed.
13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8...the timer was ending soon.
I dodged their attacks, I did not need to die, fuck them. I ran to a corner and was trapped.
3, 2, 1…
Before the reached me the timer hit zero as the metal rod entered their lower jaws and pierced their brains. I covered my face as their blood squirted out at me, as they fell forward two cannons fired. I walked over to their bodies and closed their eyes in respect. Even though they tried to kill me, it was the only way for them to survive. I sighed as I left the room.
