Splash settled down in his moss nest for the night,next to Swiftstar new nest,though he couldn't get comfortable at all.Today's events replayed in his mind.Meeting Skycloud,Silverpaw's death,the battle with Shadestar's group,Burnflight's,Skyfire's and the mysterious she-wolf's death...Nothing seemed to keep straight as Splash desperately tried to put the events in order in his head.

While everybody had already fallen asleep,Splash was still awake.They had seen today's death,the four unlucky tributes that had been the target of the cruel and unforgiving O.C. Hunger Games.

Shaking off his emotions and thoughts,the Aussie settled down into his moss and shut his eyes,hoping to have a blank mind tonight.

Splash aimlessly wandered through darkness.A pine forest,thick with the smell of earthy,peaty ground and lush vegetation surrounded him on his sides.Twigs,brambles,mouse holes and all sorts of things threatened to trip his every pawstep.Despite Splash had never recalled seeing this place before in his life,he could have sworn there was a sense of homeliness to it.He just couldn't tell where.

Voices-hushed voices-seemed to whisper all around him,murmuring of inevitable danger and death.

"Stay away...,"they said.

"It's dangerous..."

"It will destroy all those you love..."

"St-st-stay b-back...,"Splash stammered,his body trembling in fear."Or...or I'll find you!A-and kill you!"

His voice eerily echoed out in the pines.A shiver rippled through his muscles.His breath came in rapid gasps."Stay back!"Splash howled again,his voice uncontrollably cracking.

The voices kept whispering."Run...Don't turn back..."

"Run...Les' he catch you..."

"Run...run...run...don't turn back...don't turn back...,"they seemed to endlessly whisper.

"STAY BACK!"the Aussie howled,snapping his jaws at thin air.His heart pounded loudly until he was sure it would come out of his chest.

"Run..."

"Run Splash..."

"Don't turn back,Splash..."

"SHUT UP!"Splash wailed,his eyes starting to water.Out of terror,the Aussie pushed his legs forward and began running through the pine forest,the ground thrumming underneath him.The pine trees seemed to clear out of the way for him as he kept pushing his legs forward,not daring to stop for a moment's worth.

The wind blew through his fur as he raced past the look-alike trees,not knowing which way he was going.Not that he cared much.He just wanted to get away from all the strange and spooky voices.

They seemed to follow him wherever he ran.By the time Splash had stopped running,his chest was burning and his flanks heaved.The voices seemed to whisper louder,almost to full volume.

"Run..."

"Run,Splash..."

"You'll die if you don't..."

"What point is there in running?!"Splash barked angrily."I could run until I reached the edge of the arena!But there's no point in that!If I went over the edge,I'd be killed in one heartbeat!Why are you,whoever you all are,telling me to run,when there's nowhere LEFT to run to?!"

If the voices had heard him,they didn't show any sign.At this point,they seemed to whisper in Splash's ears."RUN..."

"RUN TO THE FOREST."

"RUN WHERE THEY CAN'T GET YOU."

"NO!!"

The word practically blurted out of him without warning.Splash was breathing heavily,and his eyes were wide with fear,staring at the pine needle ground."I won't listen you...you're all just an illusion...you're not real."

"Am I an illusion?"a voice meowed softly.

Splash slowly looked up and he almost couldn't believe the sight.There,standing right in front of him,was Hazeleyes.The first dead Webkinzluver5 O.C. so far in the Games.

"You...you're alive!"he shrilled."Then...that must have all been a nightmare!"

Hazeleyes shook her dark brown head."No,Splash.I know you hope it all was,but we both know that's not the answer."

The tri-colored Aussie looked down at his paws in dismay."I know...,"he mumbled.

A long pause seemed to last between the two of them before Hazeleyes spoke again."Come with me."Flicking her tail,she padded off into the pine forest,checking over her shoulder to see if he would follow.

Not wanting to be left behind,Splash quickly trotted after her,following after her scent.He was surprised when all he could smell was smoke and ash.

She didn't die in a fire,did she?

His paws aching by the time she finally stopped,Splash looked up at the she-cat."Why did you bring me here?"he questioned.

"Splash,a dark time is coming.And the unthinkable will happen.You must enter the Games again next year."

" WHAT?!"Splash howled,his neck fur rising."Why?!"It would practically be suicidal to enter again next year!

"Splash,you will guide a new victor to the end,and only you alone can do this,"Hazeleyes continued,seeming undaunted at his sudden outburst.

"But...but why me?!"

"You will find out soon,"she murmured.The she-cat gently turned towards him and touched her nose towards her.The Aussie suppressed a shiver.Her nose felt cold-in fact,it felt winter cold.Splash's eyelids drooped as he slithered to the ground.

The Aussie stifled a yelped as he jerked back into the real world.He was practically panting and his mind was whirling.

What the heck was that...?

Unable to comprehend what he had just dreamed-if it was a dream at all-Splash settled back onto his nest,but didn't go back to sleep.In fact,he didn't seem to get anymore sleep that night.

And it was all because of what Hazeleyes had said.

"Splash,a dark time is coming.And the unthinkable will happen.You must enter the Games again next year.You will guide a new victor to the end,and only you alone can do this."

"I really hope she's wrong,"Splash begged to himself."I'm not doing these Games,not again,not ever."

One POV only this chapter I'm afraid ;^; Oh well,at least you get an idea of what might come next or near le EENNNDDD .D. So,yea,Splash had been sent a vision-in the Games,not all the O.C.'s believe in StarClan,so I guess they're more like dream messages ouo-telling him to enter the Games again,so the Webkinzluver5 Crew is now doomed to enter the Games next year. ^^;

These O.C.'s live in The Palace of Lies. :T Splash wants a blank mind,he gets a totally creepy vision.Alex doesn't want Midstrip to die,but he dies anyway.SERIOUSLY GUYS THIS IS THE HUNGER GAMES IF SOMEBODY DIES EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO YOU'D THINK YOU WOULD LEARN. D:<
