Splash's face was twisted up in pain as he limped slowly among the woods.He knew without a doubt he would be an easy kill for any O.C. who came upon him.He forced himself to keep moving despite the fact his leg wound stung like fury.Hopefully if he ran into any herbs he would have a better chance of living.I really hope I run into some herbs...His belly growled loudly.A hunger pang hit his stomach.And some food.Otherwise,I might as well resort to cannibalism!
The tri-colored Aussie puppy shuddered.He hoped not.Feather,Eclipse,Springtrap and Meadowstar loved watching the O.C.s in the arena fight to death for their own sick enjoyment,but they drew the line completely at tributes eating each other.Cannibalism wasn't exactly something they were on board with.And thank the stars they aren't,Splash thought gratefully.He thought back when Blackpaw had told him that,before he was born,a few years back,a white fox named Snow had entered the Games.Because he had no food on him whatsoever,he had turned completely insane,so whenever he killed a tribute,he began tearing at their flesh.
Splash shuddered.He was so glad,and possibly even lucky,he wasn't born around or even before that time.
A loud thunderclap and lightning,followed by another one,echoed in the far off distance.Two more tributes must have died...That's four dead already in one day!What if I'm next? Apprehension tugged at his belly.That can't happen!I'm going to win the Games for Blackpaw!
He soon came across a small set that was big enough for him to crawl through.Forcing himself through the tight space,he settled down for the day,doing his best to ignore the constant hunger pangs practically gnawing at his belly.He desperately hoped food would come his way soon.
A rustling in the undergrowth surprised him.He could smell a sweet and earthy scent flowing into his nose.Who's that?
A white head poked its way into his set."Dappleheart!"Splash cried in joy.He struggled to get out of the set,ignoring the stinging pain in his leg."What are you doing here?"
"I lost sight of Hazeleyes,"she mumbled."I started to look for the other Webkinzluver5 O.C.'s."
Splash wagged his tail.His heart soared when he saw two leaf packets hanging around her neck.How did she get two? he wondered.That didn't matter.At least they might have some food in them.
The white she-cat settled down,laying down on her side as she slipped one of the packets over and off her head.Carefully unwrapping it,the packet revealed a vole,marigold and a strange purple flower that emitted a sweet scent.
"I've already eaten.Have you managed to get any food?"she asked gently.
Splash shook his head."I've been starving since the Games began."
Dappleheart nudged the vole towards him."Eat up then.It looks like it might fill your belly."
The Aussie gratefully devoured the vole in famished gulps,realizing just how hungry he was.Although he wasn't particularly a fan of the prey,he would take any food he could get.
Dappleheart purred."It must be the first meal you've gotten all day.Or at all,"she mewed,taking off the other leaf packet.
Splash quickly nodded,swiping his tongue over his jaws.He watched as the white she-cat unwrapped the other packet and revealed some cobwebs and a sharp rock.
"Aren't they're supposed to be three things in there?"
"I left the mouse back at the old camp,"Dappleheart replied,staring blankly at the supplies.
Splash frowned."What's wrong?"
"Nothing.I've just been worried about Hazeleyes.When she left,I couldn't find her,so I'm just a bit...on edge,"she mewed so quietly the Aussie almost couldn't hear.
The tri-colored pup was almost convinced she was hiding something,though he didn't say anything.Instead,he showed his injured leg to Dappleheart.
She gasped."What happened?Who did this?"
"I found a puddle of water under a rock and then got into a fight with some ebony cat.Then a blue fox with several tails attacked me out of nowhere,"he explained.
"Skyfire and Bismuth,"Dappleheart snarled,saying their names as if they were poison.
"Do you know them?"
"I know them quite well,actually."
Splash didn't like the look in her eyes.Was that vengeance burning in them?What did they do to her? he wondered.
Dappleheart's gaze suddenly softened."Let's get that wound fixed up."
Splash patiently laid on his side as the she-cat began chewing the marigold into a pulp and applied it softly to his wound.
"It stings,"he muttered.
"It won't sting so much later,"she reassured him.
Splash stayed quiet as she began applying the cobwebs over the chewed up poultice."There,that should stop the bleeding and keep infection from setting in,"she purred,gazing warmly at him.
"How do you know so much about herbs?I thought you were a warrior of SwiftClan,"Splash barked.
"Marshfang likes to tell me the basics of herbs,"Dappleheart murmured softly."Try not to rub the poultice off.We might not find anymore marigold for a while unless we get lucky."
"Considering the fact I haven't been able to find food,clean water or even a temporary shelter since yesterday,I don't count on us finding anymore herbs,"the Aussie muttered.
"I can't believe it's only day two.It feels like it's been days since the Games started."
Splash nodded in agreement.I can't until the Games over...This never ending nightmare might finally actually end.
::Shadestar's POV::
Shadestar followed after Dodre as the dark brown male wolf led them to a cliff top.
"Why exactly are we going here again?We're practically just asking to fall off during a battle,"Shadestar meowed wryly.
Dodre curled his lips."Don't question my orders.I'm doing what's best for all of us."
All of us? Shadestar echoed in his mind.He silently padded after him,repeatedly thinking over what the wolf had said.
As they trudged up the steep hill,a large cave came into view.Scents started drifting in his nose,though he couldn't tell which was which.How many other O.C.'s did he recruit?
Dodre led him to the opening,where five other O.C.'s sat patiently-a small looking wolf pup,a brown tom with dark brown paws and a tailtip,a blue fox with several tails and white wings,a black she-cat with yellow and green markings,and finally an orange tom with flame markings.
"Goldscars,meet your newest recruit,Shadestar,"Dodre barked.
"Welcome,Shadestar,"the black she-cat purred."You should feel lucky you've been chosen to be recruited by Dodre.He's going to help us win the Games."
Shadestar narrowed his yellow eyes."Us? They're can only be one victor,"he pointed out.
"Dodre has his own way of picking who he'll help win,"the flame tom meowed.
"Introduce yourselves,"the brown wolf ordered.
"I'm Kelive!"the wolf pup barked excitedly.
"I'm Burnflight,"the brown tom mewed.
"Skyfire,"the fox woofed.
"Vi!"the black she-cat purred.
"Firefly,"the flame marked tom meowed.
"Now that we all know each other a little better,"Dodre woofed,raking his gaze over all his recruits,"let's see how well you all hunt.Follow me."Flicking his tail,he led the way down the hill into the oak forest.Once he found a clearing surrounded by shrubs,he ordered for the six O.C.'s to sit around him in a ragged circle.
"To see if you're all actually going to contribute to your group,we're going to see how well you hunt.Shadestar,"he barked,motioning for the wiry brown tom to stand,"go see if you can catch anything out in the forest.That is if the other tributes haven't scared the prey away yet."
Giving a quick nod,Shadestar whisked off into the woods,parting his jaws to scent for prey.After scenting nothing,he ventured further into the woods.A rustling surprised him as he turned his head to see a figure step out from the shadows.It was...
CLIFF HANGERZ I'M SU EVIL XDD No,just keep reading guys -u- You're gonna find out at some point who is stepping out of the shadows.Anywaaaaaysss...I'm gonna do some POVs on the O.C.'s who have died,even if they aren't my own,so I hope that's O.K. wit you. ;u; Take it easy,guys.
Also,bit a wisdom for you younger ones out there,if you mention someone's name to someone or their description,if the person you say it to looks somewhat...angry and looks like there's a fire burning in their eyes,that usually means they really hate that person and possibly want them to die... o-o
