Chapter Text
The canon went off. The games had begun.
I leapt off the small circular sheet of metal, and ran straight for the giant platform that held all the supplies. It was 10 feet off the ground, only accessible by 3 ladders on each side of the metal square. So more realistically 12 ladders. I scrambled up one. Knowing that I needed to be quick, needed to get supplies and then run for the trees. It was like I was back on the streets of Camelot. Everyone for themselves… at least among the homeless.
This was no ordinary hunger games. No. This hunger games we were forced to go against friends. Allies. Family.
I got to the top of the platform, three others were there already, gabbing what they could. I scrambled for a backpack with a blanket.
I heard a scuffle as people warred over the supplies.
Weird, isn't it? How quickly people turn on one another.
I quickly climbed down after acquiring a box of rations and stuffing it in the already packed backpack. Luckily the ladder I used was free of occupants. But there were three people running at it. At me.
I dashed for the tree line as soon as my feet hit the ground. Archie flying by my side. Not wasting a second of time to enter the tall dark trees.
Not hesitating to get away from those I once knew as friends.
