Okay, I'm sorry for not updating. But I have an announcement! The March Break is coming, and guess what? I'll probably be in Ottawa! So I won't be updating. So, just to make it up, here you go! And the OC poll is closed. But don't worry! I might surprise you... ;)

I'm walking down a large hallway. So big that when you see it, you'd mistake it for the entrance to Tartarus. I had no idea why I was walking down it, but I soon figured out why. I'm running. Running from one of my greatest enemies. I run down the hallway, going into turns, and finally, I fall. I look as my enemy closes in, and just when he's about to deliver the blow, I fall down a trap from the floor. I'm falling down so fast, you wouldn't even notice me. I hit rock bottom, and I see another enemy.

"You can avoid this, you know." She purrs.

"I know what you're gonna do, and I'm not going to help!" I yell at her, but she just laughs.

"Leo Valdez, you know you can't avoid me. And you know you can't refuse me either."

"I can to!" She laughs, and I throw the nearest thing, which happens to be a Porta Potty toilet seat. I fling it towards her, but it goes through her. Her image flickers, but it's still there.

"You're such a laugh. You are so oblivious to the truth. If you refuse, you'll then be fighting a losing battle."

"I can fight you! I'm not afraid!"

"And that's what I need from you. Your persistence. But you're stubborn, and you persist to be on the losing side. Why not join us?"

"I'd never join you. You're evil, and I'll never be a pawn in your game."

"But Leo, you already are..."

Suddenly, the ground opens up, and I fall into the abyss. When I hit rock bottom, I'm facing my biggest fear, but behind it, someone's there. Someone familiar. Celestine.

"Leo, wake up!"

Wake up?

"Leo, WAKE UP!"

That's when my eyes open, and I'm looking into the eyes of Celestine.

"C'mon Leo, we've got to see the other tributes."

And that's where it ends! So do you like it? I wouldn't blame you. And can you tell where I got that small 'Porta Potty' scene from? I'm sure it's not LOST... (hint hint)
So review, and until we meet again!
