Chapter 3:The Games Begin...
::Hazeleyes's POV::
*Fun Fact:Hazeleyes is the cat version of me. c:*
Hazeleyes slipped into her moss nest,her pelt crawling as the thought of the Games drifted into her mind.She could still hear her mother's grief-stricken voice."You have to win!I promised Brownpelt and Smallcloud you'd come home!"
Despite Hazeleye's promising the same thing herself,doubtfulness clouded her mind.There's no guarantee I'll come home,she thought.Sighing deeply,she curled up into a ball as sleep overtook her.
"Get up,all of you!"a voice snarled.Forcing herself awake,Hazeleyes blinked sleep away from her eyes.Springtrap stood at the entrance of the cave opening,her tail swishing impatiently."The Games are today!"
At the mention of the Games,Hazeleyes instantly was awake fully.She had almost forgotten about the Games!Quickly getting to her paws,she gave herself a few chest licks,then followed after Springtrap,along with the other five O.C.'s.
She noticed Alex padding close beside her."Finally,we won't have to be stuck in a cave with Shadestar and Swiftstar anymore."
The dark brown she-cat nodded in agreement.Being stuck with those two mouse-brains was pure torture.How could anybody stand being around them when they were constantly bickering among themselves?
Hazeleyes was escorted to a stone platform,where Fleetfoot,a ThornClan warrior,sat beside it.
"Step onto the platform.When I pull this vine,it'll pull you up to the top of the arena.Don't even think about trying to leave the platform before it's actually time to start.There's an invisible border that can kill you,"he instructed.
Nodding,the she-cat stepped gingerly onto the cold,hard stone.Grabbing the vine in his teeth,Fleetfloot pulled the vine,making the platform rise.
Hazeleye's breathing quickened.This is it,she thought.
When the platform stopped rising,she realized she was standing in a clearing,where the 23 other tributes,including those from her own group,were standing on their own platforms.Feather swam out from a pool surrounded by ten leaf packets in the middle,water shedding off her fur.Following after her,a scraggly looking cat shakily padded to her side."Welcome,O.C. tributes!The Hunger Games are about to start!"she yowled."Ten leaf packets are here for your advantage.Choose wisely.We've added dog claws and deathberries,and,if you know where to look,a few herbs.But be warned-some herbs will destroy you rather than help you."She grinned evily."When you hear the shriek of this cat,it marks the start of the Games!"
Killing a cat is how it's all started? Hazeleyes thought dreadfully.That's horrible.
Feather turned her gaze towards the shaken cat,then quickly slashed deeply into his neck.His cry of pain and agony turned to a rasping breath as the life drained out of him and blood pooled around his neck."GO!! " Feather yowled,disappearing into the pool.
Putting on a burst of speed,Hazeleyes sprinted to the first leaf packet she saw.Skidding to a halt,she quickly slipped it over her neck.Shrieks and angry barking filled the air as the tributes battled one another for their lives.
As she was about to leave,she spotted Dappleheart being pinned down by a flame colored tom.Firefly! Hazeleyes thought angrily,recognizing the tom.Letting out a fearsome caterwaul,she leapt on top of him,bowling him over and making him release Dappleheart.Hissing and spitting,she clawed madly at him,raking her claws across his face and chest.Firefly battered at her belly,though his attempts were in vain.Letting him go,he threw an angry snarl at her and ran off.A loud thunderclap and lightning sounded across the sky,followed by another one.
Two tributes dead already? she thought grimly.This is going to be harder than I thought.
Quickly padding over to Dappleheart,she helped the white she-cat up."Follow me!"she yowled over the noise.Running into the trees,looking behind every now and then to see if she was following,Hazeleyes led them deeper into the heart of safety.
Woop woop! :D So,Hazeleyes has just beaten the tail out of one tribute already while allying herself with Dappleheart,and unfortunately,two tributes are already dead at the start of The O.C. Hunger Games. :c But don't be sad just yet!Worse deaths are yet to come.(I know that didn't help,but it's true,isn't it)
