I sit by the window, looking down on the Centri. The shouting and laughter below is still strange to me. Coming from the Southern Zone, water, the eccentric people of the Centri, with their bright colours and weird hair. Its new. All of it.
Back home we have simple homes. Wood, no electricity (only when The Hunt is televised), mould, metal and mud. I miss my family. My Father, Wai. My twin Leporis, my other brother Skaen and little sister Koia. They are probably crying, they know that if you are very lucky you can get out alive. Most people die, in fact anyone that goes in, will never come out. Only a few, throughout the years have lived to tell the tale of The Hunt. Our Zone has got 2 survivors one of them is a 20 year old called Winter, my mentor, and Buzz (a 40 year old man). The other Zones have way more. They are trained since they are 4 years old.
Back to reality; I sigh. I rise and go to my bed. I change the screen on the window to a green field with a Rocaw, the cross between a Robin and a Scarlet Macaw, flying around its nest. I hear banging on my door with Lartius booming voice summoning me for dinner. I jump off my bed and walk into the long hallway towards the dining hall. I get to the grand hall and stare at the tables of rich food. Lartius laughs Take your pick. I almost sprint to the seafood table and pick out prawns, oysters and a huge lobster; I pile them on my plate. I walk over to the table and sit down. I eat the oysters and pawns; I leave the lobster for last. I hope you know how to eat that says Lartius. Of course. I do come from a fishing town I chuckle. He rolls his eyes and eats his meat.
So what are we going to do for The Hunt? Do we have a strategy? asks Crucis, the other unfortunate going into The Hunt.
The Hunt is when Honours are picked to face challenges. On the last day where there is only 4 people left, Wolf mutations chase them to the end of the arena, a door lies in wait for the survivors. But the Wolfs are viscous and they kill them all, most of the time. The Centri call it fun. I dont I call it murder.
We have no strategy says Lartius All the strategies we have... they end up killing our mentees
I have my own strategy I say bluntly. Its so silent you could hear a flys wing beat.
Well what is it? asks Crucis. All eyes on are on me.
Im not going to tell you. Its my own I say.
Were a team says Crucis Tell me
Well, I dont like you so no
But
No! the anger in my voice rising.
Bu-
NO! I throw my cutlery on my plate and storm to my room. I lock the door and dive on my bed and scream into the pillow. I stop screaming Savera chill I tell myself. I sit up and look at the trees. Tears fall down my face. I take a deep breath and walk to the shower. I strip off my clothes and pick the seaweed foam shower. It smells of home. When Im done I walk to the huge mirror and brush my brown and silver hair. I ignore that it is still dripping wet and I climb into bed, naked and wet. I cry myself to sleep.
I dream of the town I grew up in. Ashshore. It is a basically a lake with houses around it. I dream of Phox, my boyfriend, he smiles and hugs me. He lives in the Eastern Zone. Zones are not allowed to have contact but we do. He lives in a village near the Zones boarder. Like I do. So we can see each other whenever. His green and blue eyes sparkle into moonlight. Suddenly everything changes. It changes to The Hunt. Before me, my entire family and friends lie dead on the floor. I wake up screaming. No one comes to my room. I guess my outburst at dinner, made them hate me. Eventually they will end up despising me. I lay on my bed, now unable to sleep. I look at the necklace Phox gave me when we talked, sparkling shells and pearls. Lets hope that I will live to see him again. -
