Hey peeps! Sorry for taking a while to update :D My minions and I have a LOT of homework…

I can think up loads of other excuses, but I won't bother you :P

Ok, here's your chapter:

Eating lunch with a bunch of demigods who have supernatural abilities definitely does not make my bucket list. Mac is zapping his food and then stuffing it into his mouth, as if an electric tang makes everything taste better. Yae-rang is changing everyone's food into disgusting blobs then back again, and it seems like everyone is stuffing their faces. I do not know how people can eat so much, maybe it is because of the stress, but seriously, I don't want to take my super important test being unable to move because of my almost exploding stomach. I glance over at Hannah who seems to also be disgusted by the activity going on around us, she rolls her eyes and mouths some words which I don't understand. A few minutes later, the Game master comes in. Wow, I hate that guy, he is always so smiley and positive as if it is the best thing in the world that we are training to kill other people. He clears his voice, "Brave tributes!" he booms, "It is time to begin your tests." I have been training for three months so I expect to pass, I mean come on, it is just a silly test, right? (Not that I had aced any other tests before, but how bad can it be?)

I walk down the cool, tile hallway, my footsteps echoing of the walls. The game master follows behind and directs me to room that opened up to the outdoors. He smiles at me, and I'm not sure if it is full of sympathy or a wicked grin. He closes the door behind me. I inhale, gather my thoughts, and prepare to fight. I look around the room, and realize it is cone shaped, and it opens into the outdoors where I can smell the fresh scent of the pine. There are swords and knives cluttering the room, and I wonder what I will be doing. I see no monster or rival, what's happening? Is this a trick? I glance about the room and this time my eyes stumble upon a dark figure. I can't make out who or what it is. I step closer and peer at the image. All of a sudden, something pushes me backwards and I hit the wall with a sickening sound. Moaning, I stumble back up onto my feet. Everything hurts, what had happened? Blackness starts to edge my vision, then I realize that my enemy is the black. Oh no, a sudden clarity hits me almost as hard as I had hit the wall. That thing has the same powers as I do. I have to fight against myself.I summon all of my strength thinking of what to do next. My back is still hurting, and my opponent is advancing. I swear I catch a gleam in its eye, as if destroying someone is the best activity to do. Scared and in pain I do the only reasonable thing… I run.

Running is the easy part, dodging the trees that are being thrown my way that is difficult. Thankfully, my opponent also has my weak spot, precision. Right now, I am thankful for that. I bound through the forest, bumping into anything that stands in my path. I know that at some point I will have to stop and face that thing. I suddenly find myself face first on the ground, dirt in my mouth. Who would put a random log in the forest where innocent demigods could trip on it and possibly get murdered by a scary shadow thing that happens to have your powers? I stumble to an upright position, almost becoming impaled with an arrow that whizzes past my head. I take out my dagger and run towards my opponent. Yes it is probably a stupid thing to do, but I am really mad. I lunge, but the shadow just side steps. I get to my feet and almost swallow a rock. My shadow's pelting rocks my way, each one that hits me leaves me feeling weaker and bruised. Frustrated with myself for not remembering to use my powers earlier, I will the rocks to turn towards the evil little shadow. The only problem is that my shadow is as strong as I am, making the rock hover. My energy is draining and I can't keep this up for long. Being a sensible person I know that running again won't help either. I have to pass this test, so I resort to my last hope. I quickly let go of the rocks and duck, pulling off my ring. It suddenly turns into a bow and arrow (it had been a gift from my dad). I start shooting arrows like crazy, luck is with me, for one arrows imbeds itself between the eyes of my enemy. Hopefully, it will slow it down, but the shadow only makes a deep growling sound that rattles my bones. It pulls the arrow out and advances towards me. I start losing hope, I am tired, hurt, and I can't fight anymore. All of a sudden, my legs start lifting off the ground, and I see that it is my opponents fault. I try to team up with gravity, but it is no use. Soon, I am touching the tops of the tree, and trying to grab onto it for an anchor. I am too slow, and I find myself falling. Thump! Now I am really injured. I try to move, I try to breathe, but I can't. I gasp for air. I lay helpless on the ground. As I fight the pain, I see a large object hover over me. Plop! The shadow lands a tree on my leg. I scream, pain searing up my leg as blood gushes out. No one is coming, no one cares. Spots dance around my vision, my head feels light and dizzy. I let go of my hope of ever defeating that thing, and darkness takes over.

I wake up in a soft bed. My back hurts, and it feels as if someone has taken my leg and impaled a knife. I try to move it, but piercing pain shoots up my leg. I grit my teeth to keep from screaming. I take a look around and I realize that I am in the sick room. My heart sinks as the realization dawns on me: I have failed my test. I am a failure, if I am not able to beat myself, how can I beat someone whose battle tactics are hidden from me. No, I chide myself, I will not lose, this is only the first test…right? Next time I will win and defeat that wicked shadow! I smile at the thought of defeating the enemy. "You are so going down!" I say to the empty room, savouring the thought of destroying that menace. All of a sudden, the door creaks open and Hannah's head peeks in. Hannah looks like she has just been in a fight with an evil weed whacker. Her face is scratched up and as she walks in, I can see that she is limping. My hope begins to rise as I realize that I am not the only one who has failed the test. She carries some food on a plate (which I later realized was ambrosia), and some crutches. "The Game master sent me," she said. "Are you alright?" "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" I retorted. "Well first of all," she replied "It looks like you were in a fight with a very angry troll, and your leg is broken… but nothing a little ambrosia can't fix!" She quickly responds. She must see the fury in my eyes, but it quickly subsides when I realize she is trying to help. I quickly eat the ambrosia and sit up. I feel renewed and refreshed, but I realize that the feeling won't last so long. The pain in my leg starts subsiding to a dull throb. When Hannah had come to my training room before, I hadn't been sure what her motives were. Now I smiled at Hannah as I realized that I had found a friend and most importantly, an ally.

Aww, that's so sweet…
