...Before anything, I would just like to say that... Actually I have no excuse for this huge gap of time between updates. Enjoy!

We all managed to forget the horror that had just occurred somehow. We were all in this strange room, with mirrors covering every inch of the wall and water all over the floor. George was telling us this story about his little brother. I sighed and looked over at Rory. He was with Lucy, laughing and playing with his toy cars he sneaked in.

"Are you OK?" I whipped my head around.

"Ian! Don't scare me like that!" I cried. He grinned, but then the smile fell off. "What's the matter, Amy?"

"Nothing," I lied, smiling in hope he would buy it. He sat down next to me.

"What's it like being the daughter of the leader of the rebels?" he asked. I bowed my head.

"It's horrible. People keep going on about it at school. Teachers make jokes about it all the time. But, still, it could be worse."


Tick tock. Tick Tock. The sound of the clock echoed through the empty hallways. The walls were painted black, and the lights were a dim shade of red, slowly fading away. I tried to escape, but it was no use. The walls seemed to shift, doors disappearing, walls popping up from no where. The ticking was getting louder, filling my ears, drowning out my screams-

"Hanna! Wake up!" My eyes snapped open. Outside of the large window I could barely see the sun over the horizon. "What's up?" I groaned.

"Stop screaming!" Rory yelled. Bags outlined his eyes.

"I'm sorry," I sighed, staring at the ceiling. When I turned back to Rory, I realized, that one of his eyes had a faint bruise under it. "Oh my God, Rory! What happened to your face? Where did that bruise come from?"

"Some kid punched me," he shrugged. "I don't know who. It just came from no where. Oh well, back to sleep." He walked off, suddenly seeming much older than he was.


"Welcome to your second challenge," the voice said, filling the hall. "In this challenge, you must team up with someone that is not of your district. Then enter the hall together and face the challenges." I immediately went to Venice, and Rory went to Lucy. Ian paired up with George. We went in.

It was a full obstacle course. But deadly.

The climbing frame was laced with spikes.

The tunnels had no oxygen in them.

The bridges were narrow and underneath them was a large cavern underneath it.

It was hard to believe that yesterday I was in this room, but it was completely different.

They bound all of the pairs (and one three,) back to back. We all went, one by one.

I was sure the group with the three were going to die, but surprisingly, the boy from District Two and the boy from District Ten had suffocated in the tunnels. For a minute no one noticed, but when everyone had done, we realized that there was less of us. The girl from District Ten freaked out, as they were twins, and tried in vanity to revive him. Some people came and injected her with some tranquillizing liquid, so she instantly fell asleep.


We still managed to forget the two deaths that had recently occurred. We were all talking about our friends back home, and that's when the subject of Rory came along.

"Hey, Amy, why does your brother keep hanging out with that girl?"

"I don't know. Ever since he met her they've been inseparable."

"Oh my God, isn't that Loony Lucy?"

"Not any more."

"Wait, what do you mean 'Loony Lucy'?" I asked. They stared at me, their mouths wide.

"How have you not heard the stories? Didn't you know?"

But he never got to finish his story because something knocked him unconscious. The same thing that knocked everyone unconscious.

*GASP* What happened, eh? Yeah, I know, I'm becoming horribly worse. I just have no inspiration D:. Also I'm writing this at night (Cue Spongebob reference). Hopefully I'll think of something. Soon.

Peace out xxx
