Chapter 6
I get poked by Winter. I get up and leave the room, calmly. We get into the hallway, where Crucis is talking to Lartis, there are walking towards me. I lunge at Crucis my forearm on his neck and my fist is ready to punch his face. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!" I yell "YOU KNOW I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" What will Phox think?!
"Savera let him go!" says Winter.
"NO!" I shout.
"I-i-i" sputters Crucis.
"GO ON!" I shout.
"I-i-i-i" Crucis sputter again.
Winter holds my arm "I hold him too! It makes you look desirable!"
I stare at Winter "YOU WHAT!" I yell.
"I hold him too!" Winter says louder.
I look at the others, Cen, Lartius and Liena "DID YOU 3 KNOW!?"
They all nod. "WHAT!" I yell. I punch Crucis in the face, then run to my room. I slam the door shut, making sure they know how made I'm outraged.
I run to my bed and turn the TV on. They are replaying the Talent Show. I see me singing and how crazy everyone went. The screen changes to the Southern Zone and a smiling Phox. Then when Crucis declared his love for me. And his talent of heavy lifting. Frustrated, I turn the TV off and throw the remote on the floor. I take a cold shower and slip into my Pj's. I get called for dinner, but I don't go. I lock the door and lay on my bed. After about 30 minutes, I get a knock at the door. I look through the peep-hole. I see a blue haired girl with bright orange eyes. Wait, I know you, don't I
I open the door and let her in. She is carring a a tay of food and a drink. She puts it on my bed. "Thank you" I smile.
She says nothing.
"Can you talk?" I ask.
She shakes her head.
"Mute or Mutaemo?" I ask.
She puts 2 fingers up. I guess it was my second anwser. Mutaemo's are the Centri's way of keeping criminals undercontrol. They cut out their vocal cords so they can't talk. I can see the scar on her neck where they cut it out. We're not aloud to talk to them.
We meet when she was running away from a Centri prison, and when I say 'we' I mean Phox and me. We where swimming in the lake inbetween our Zones when we saw a girl in rags and what looked like chains on her legs and arms. We got out of the lake. I was just about to ask her if she needed help. But then a Centri Jet beamed her up onto it. Me and Phx hid because we didn't want them to see us.
"I'm sorry, we didn't help you" I say sadly and guiltily. I don't even know her name. "Could you right your name down?" I ask. She nods and writes down 'Ayox' I'm about to say something, when she hurries to the door, she leaves, I guess she had work to do. -

Chapter 7
The next day we are in the training arena. I'm on the edible plant station. While Crucis is on the The Gauntlet. The Gauntlet is a daunting obstacle course. It consists of ascending platforms that rise up to a landing. Honours must jump from platform to platform to finish in the fastest time possible. To make it even more difficult, instructors swing padded clubs at them. This station is very popular. This station is not very popular to the Honours who are shy, less able, or want to make themselves unnoticed. The edible plant station might not be very popular but it will come in handy. There are some very tasty plants. I see some people on the Rope cource. The rope course is a large rope net that stretches across the ceiling. Only the very nimble can leap around up there. It's not as popular as some of the fighting techniques but some Honours find it useful.
I then move on to the Hammock making station. I'm not very good at making hammocks. Only nets. The instructor take me through very step in detail. "I think you have a follower" says the instructor. Confused I look behind me. I see a small 12 year old girl with a very lean shape, mocha colour skin, dark black hair, and dark brown eyes. I gesture to her to come over. She slowly walks over and sits kneels next to the pile of materials used for making hommocks.
"My name is Chive" she says quietly.
"I'm Savera" I smile. Chive smiles bac and we make hammocks. We then move onto the Shelter making station. We make shelters for all types of weather. Heat, Rain, Acid rain, snow, lightening, blizzard and lava. I know right? Ridiculous.
Time is up. We all pile into the elevator. Me and Crucis don't talk. At dinner Lartius tries to make a convocation but it fails.
"So... how was training?" he asks.
"It was ok" says Crucis "I fell off the Rope cource a few time" More like 100
"Good, builds character"
"Yes"
Kill me know, please!
"What kind of arena will we get, Winter?" asks Crucis.
"I don't know. It's differnt every year" replies Winter.
Duh!
"So Savera" says Cen "Do you know what you are going to do whe you get your private time with the Huntmakers?"
"I dunno, maybe using the Trident or the bow and arrow or daggers" I replie fixated on my meat.
"Cool"
"Yah"
"... So... urm" says Lartius
"JUST STOP TRYING TO MAKE A CONVOCATION, LARTIUS!" I shout standing up "CLEARLY NOONE WANTS TO TALK! SO STOP!" Everyone is slient. I look at them and storm to my room.
A few moments later a sheet of paper is pased from under the door. I pick it up. It's a letter from Phox. It reads:
Dear Savera,
Don't take what Crucis said at the Talent show, seriouly. It is probably part of his strategy.
Anyway, I can't believe you sang our song. That was so dangerous. But I'm happy you did. Everyone here went mental. Even Koia. She was soooo happy that you sang it. Your dad is doing well, I've managed to get him off the drink. Skaen is doing well, he is helping me when I go hunting. Leporis is proud of you.
I start to cry. I continue:
Koia misses you, we all do. She's been saying to the interviews, we are getting that 'My big sis will do anything to win' and 'If she dies, I'll be proud of her' She was upset at first but got over it.
My mum and dad said that if you come back you can have anything you want from the Deli for free. I kind forced them.
I laugh. And read on:
I miss you. When you are being Hunted. Remember why you are doing this. Rememeber everyone loves you. Me most of all. And when you get back I will have a surprise for you. Well I've got to go. Koia wants me to play with her. She says 'HI!'
I love you, Savera. Live long.
Love Phox. XXX
P.s. Your just a pawn in their games.
May The Hunt Make You Stronger.
I fall asleep holding the letter.

Chapter 8
In the morning I'm in a great mood. I have a shower and I tie my hair up. I throw on the Black and green jumpsuit we wear for training. I skip into the dining room and sit up the table for breakfast. I have scrabbled egg and toast.
"Someone is cheery this morning" chuckles Cen eating his egg.
"Oh yes, I'm very happy!" I grin.
Everyone laughs. "So what brought on this?" asks Winter.
"I got a letter"
"From?"
"Phox"
"Really! What did it say?"
"Stuff like, everyone misses you, we're rooting for you. I love you" I smile.
"Awwwwwww"
I nod "Yah!"
"Ok about the private time" says Lartius "It's in about 2 hours so... you'll have about 1 hour of practice then you'll have to wait for your turn"
"Ok" says Crucis and me. We look at each other and then look away. We eat for a while longer then get summond to pratice. Me and Crucis get into the elevator and go down to the training arena. I don't practice, I just go on other stations I haven't been on yet. After an hour all the Honours are rounded up and taken into a small grey room. One by one the Honours leave to show off to the Huntmakers. I pace up and down untilmy name is called. "Savera sit" says Crucis.
"No, I'm good standing"
"Suit yourself.
Then my name is called. 'Savera Roxen. It's time' I take a deep breath. "Hey, Savera" says Crucis. I look at him. "Shoot straight and true" I nod and leave.
I walk into the giant empty training arena. I see the Huntmakers in a balconey. They are fixated on the giant hog spinning in the middle of their room. I walk up to the spot where I preform for them. "Savera Roxen, Southern Zone" I say looking at them. The head Huntmaker looks at me and nods for me to begin. I see a gold bow with arrows. I walk up to it and take it off the holder. It's heavier to what I'm used to. I load the arrow onto the arrow rest and pull back the string. I realise and it goes wide. Harder string. I do the same again. I realise the arrow and I hit it right in the heart. I look behind me. None of the Huntmakers are looking. I get another bullseye. They still didn't watch. I see a Huntmaker holding a leg of the hog. I load one last arrow and realise it. It shoots straight into the leg and pins itself agianst the red wall. They all look at me. I place the arrow back and bow. "Thank you for your appreciation and time" I leave and go back to the Penthouse.
Crucis gets back to Winter and I laughing.
"And what did you say at the end?" laughs Winter.
"I said-" I laugh
"Thank you for your appreciation and time!" Winter and I laugh.
"What happened?" asks Crucis.
"She shot and arrow at the Huntmaker" chuckles Lartius.
"Well not at him, just at his hog leg" I laugh.
"Niiiiiice" smiles Crucis.
"Thanks" I smile.
Cen turns the TV on and the scores are shown. It's out of 13, noone has ever got higher than a 11:
Northern Zone:

Western Zone:

"And for the scores of the Southern Zone" says Flux Yule "Crucis Aerbth: 12"
"Good work, Crucis!" smiles Winter.
"And Savera Roxen" says Flux "A huge 13! Well done!"
WHAT!?
Everyone claps. "A FIRST!" smiles Cen and Liena.
Chapter 9 soon -
*waits for Chapter 9* :D

:D
Chapter 9
"I got 13...." i say slowly ".... I GOT 13!! YES!"
"FANTASTIC!" shout everyone.
"I bet the other Honours are jealous" smiles Cen.
"Whooooooooa hang on!" says Crucis "There are 11 of us. I thought there was more of us"
"Oh about that" says Winter "A vote has been held in the western and Northern Zones and 15 more honours have been added. But the will join when you go into the arena"
"WHAT?!" I shout "That makes.... 26!"
"And we go in the day after tomorrow!" says Crucis "Why those two!?"
"They volunteered" says Lartius.
Me and Crucis stand there shocked. None of my Zone is added... No wonder.
"Yeah so.... you'll have to kill more than usuall" says Liena.
Crucis and I blink, shocked.
"Earth to Savera and Crucis!" says Cen waving his hand infront of us. We snap back to life. Why more! I hate killing people! I only kill when I fish!
"Great. This just gets better and better(!)" says Crucis sarcaticly. I nod.
"Look it's not our fault" says Liena "We could stop it"
"YOU COULD'VE TRIED!" shouts Crucis. He storms to the roof.
"I'll got get him" I say.
I walk up the steap, silver stairs and open the old door to the roof. It's still windy. I can hear the buzzing from the invisable force-feild surrounding the roof, so noone can jump off. I see Crucis sitting at the far end of the roof. I slowly walk up to him. Below I see a parade party. For my score, I guess. I sit next to him.
"You know, what you said at Liena was uncalled for" I say.
"I know but...." he pauses "I've never killed anyone before. Ever"
"Really?" I ask.
He nods "Yeah, really"
"I think when the time comes you will" I say patting his back.
He looks up "Yeah, I guess"
I smile back. He leans in for a kiss. I slap him.
"What the hell!" i say shocked.
"I thought that"
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooo" I say "I'm not single!"
"But I thought"
"You throught wroooooooooooong!" I say standing up. I sigh and walk back to the others. I don't stop, I just say "He is fine" and walk to my room. I close the door and have a shower. I brush my hair until there is no madness left in it. I slip into my Pj's and go to bed. Ignoring Crucis trying to talk to me through my door.
Chapter 10 soon -
:O he wanted to kiss me, oooohh Chapter 10!

Not today. I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to mouch homework.

Chapter 10
I wake. I roll so my face is on my pillow and moan. I force myself up and throw on the training jumpsuit. I tie my hair up while walking to them. I see everyone sitting up the table eating breakfast. I join them and have eggs, bacon, sausages, copped potatos and toast.
"So so we want to you train as much as possible and go on stations you think you will need" says Winter.
"So I'll get better at anything" I laugh.
"Yeah, anything" says Winter "And remember tomorrow you must be up at 6:00am"
"6AM!" shouts Crucis "What are we going in at noon!"
"Yeah, noon" says Cen looking scared at Crucis.
"Yah, the countdown will start one minite to noon then Hunt happy" says Lartius.
I sigh "And kill 25 people"
Liena nods "We have your clothes ready, the trational of cource"
Everyone finishes their food and we go down to the training arena. I see Chive, she is on the rope course. Up high and looking happy. I see the Northern and Western Honours, the fielders they always have the 'field' advantage, looking at me. They are surrounding the station next to the bow and arrow station. I calmy walk up to the bow and pick it up, I load the arrow and fire straight into the dummies heart. I hear some laughter and I look around. They are laughing at Crucis who fell from the ropes. I walk over and help him up. "Don't fall" I tell him "Anymore" He nods and goes onto the Knot Tying station. I fire a few more arrows and go onto the Snares station. I'm the only one there. I make some good snares and the instructor sets them off. Some are good because they don't make a noise them they are set off. And some are bad because the make noises so loud people from the other side of the training arena can hear it. I then move onto the rope course. I climb onto the blocks leading up to it and I jump grabing onto a rope while I'm into the air. I swing my legs up and lock them onto a rope. I crawl along the rope course to the very end. I now let go of the rope with my hands and swing to every other rope with my legs. I jump down and land on the mat. Chive claps from the ropes. I smile. I walk to The Gauntlet and walk onto the platform. "3......2........1!" shouts the instructor. I jump, dodge and duck my way through the course. My time is 1 minute and 15 seconds. I'm in second place out of the others.
The time flies until we are called to end our training. I run to the elevator because I want to get to bed earlier than usuall. I have dinner and have a shower. I read Phox's letter and go to sleep.
Tomorrow and the the week following will decide my fait, life or death.
