He starts the countdown,
"10, 8, 6,-"
"You could at least countdown properly" I say
"You caught me on a good mood Mellark okay then"
"It's Heroy"
"Shut up He-whatever"
"I will when I'm dead!" Alex says
"Want to promise that…? 10, 9,-"
I look to Alex, Rochelle and Martin,
"Split up?"
"Okay you go with Alex, I'll go with Martin" Rochelle says,
"5, 4, 3,-"
I start running with Alex, eagerly running for our lives.
Rochelle starts speaking into the headphones,
"Head for the podiums, we'll meet you there"
"Okay, are they following you?"
"They aren't… Todd is though"
"So that means Leah is following us-" I stop and stand still, "Why is Todd following you?"
"I don't know but we are running pretty fast and he is still gaining on us" Martin says
"Charley come on we need to run!" Alex shouts
"Why has she stopped?" Martin asks
"I don't know?"
"Carry on honey!" Rochelle says
"No, I am ending this fight with Leah because when the cannon went off they didn't show Ash, so he is still alive and they are making us run into his trap!"
"Oh yeah, Go on Mellark, we will join you now. We will cut across the forest,"
"No carry on, Leah might be waiting at the side for you, turn around and come back the way you came. I know it's risky but you need to try!"
"Okay" Martin says "Ready, go!"
"We need to get to them!" I say
"Let's go then" Alex replies
We start to run but I turn around and see Leah, I get my other knife I used to cut Martin out of the trap and stop in front of her, Alex carries on running but stops when he notices I am not running along side of him.
"Charley turn back around and carry on running or climb up a tree, do something!"
"No! I am not running anymore!"
"Hello again!" Leah screeches "I can't wait to kill you"
"Why are you so sure you'll kill me?"
"Because I can do this!"
She lunges towards me with the spear and I jump up like Rochelle did but she pushes a knife up with her other hand, I grab the blade and cut my hand in the process. I twist the blade so it is leaning against her skin and if she tries to move her arm will get cut open but she wriggles out. I still have her and my knife so I lunge into her and didn't expect to but got one of my knives in her right hip. She covered it with her hand for a minute and then grabbed both of my arms and locked them so I couldn't move them.
Alex try's to run to me but Ash grabs him and holds him down on the floor,
"You're not going anywhere anytime soon my friend!"
"Alex! Alex!" I scream, but he can't come because he is held down.
She try's to tie me to a tree but doesn't realise that I still have a knife in my hand, soon after Rochelle and Martin arrive closely followed by Todd.
"So you tied her to a tree… Finally you did something right" Todd says, he walks up to me and I cut myself free and go for him with the knife but I miss completely and drop the knife. He slings me over his shoulder and starts to run away telling Ash and Leah to wait a few minutes and then come after him.
