Dappleheart forced her eyes awake as the sun began to rise over the horizon."Where am I...,"she murmured to herself.Earth packed walls brushed against her side."Oh,"she realized bitterly.She was really in The O.C. Hunger Games.It wasn't just all a crazy dream.The battle yesterday with the flame marked tom Firefly had been real.She felt she could still feel his claws raking through her pelt.Dappleheart shuddered.

Padding out of the temporary den she and Hazeleyes had found for the night,she quickly arched her back in a stretch then began scenting for prey.She perked her ears as her companion came trudging after her.

"Morning already?I felt like it was only night a moment ago,"she groaned.

Dappleheart could only simply nod in agreement as she watched her pad over to their leaf packets.In their mad dash from the middle of the arena yesterday,they both had been too exhausted to care about what was in their leaf packets.Now that it was the beginning of day two,they finally had a chance to see what they got.

Hazeleyes unwrapped her's and revealed a mouse,some cobwebs,and a jagged rock."I don't see how the rock will help us,but I already have an idea for the mouse,"she grunted,taking the mouse in her jaws.

Dappleheart felt irritation prickle in her pelt.If only they had uncovered their packets yesterday!Those cobwebs would've worked just great for her wounds.That Firefly can put up a fight,she thought to herself.

She turned her attention back to the dark brown she-cat as she teared half of the prey away."What are you doing?"she asked.

"I have an idea for how to eliminate the competition before they eliminate us,"she meowed,not taking her gaze from the torn up mouse.

Dappleheart felt nervousness flutter in her stomach."What do you mean?"

Hazeleyes sighed,her tail tip twitching impatiently."We stuff a deathberry into one half of the mouse and leave it where another tribute is likely to take it.Once they eat the berry,that's another tribute gone."

The white she-cat's eyes widened as big as an owl's."You're already trying to kill?"she asked in astonishment.

"I promised my mother I would come back.That's what I'm doing,aren't I?"she mewed hollowly,staring blankly at her paws."Go make yourself useful and find that berry.The sooner the better."

Not wanting to upset her,Dappleheart nodded and padded off into the forest."Be careful!"her companion called after her.

Dappleheart sniffed at every bush she found,though none of them had the deathberries she was looking for.Then she remembered what Feather said before the Games officially began."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."Her evil grin flashed in her mind.Dappleheart shuddered.I better make sure I don't find the wrong herb.Frustration flooded through her when the next bush she went to had nothing but leaves on it.I just wish I could find deathberries!

Shaking her head futilely,she padded back to Hazeleyes and reported back.The she-cat's tail lashed."Mouse-dung,"she growled."We may have to travel further to find them."

Despite the fact Dappleheart desperately wished she could just get a little more rest,she nodded again in agreement."We should hunt first,"she pointed out.

"I guess we'll have to eat that mouse then,"Hazeleyes mewed,frowning at the torn apart scrap."I'll go look for something.Keep your eyes and ears open,"she instructed,bounding off into the forest.

She nodded in understanding.As Dappleheart crouched down and began nibbling at the flesh of mouse,a shriek arupted from the trees.Immediately jumping to her paws,she raced towards the sound until she reached the edge of a ravine.The sight of in front of her made her blood run cold...

::Splash's POV::

(Skippin' POV's and bringin' in cliff hangerz,like a BOSS B3)

Splash kept padding along the needle strewn path as the oak forest trees turned into pine.His paws ached and his muscles screamed with exhaustion as every step he took felt like heavy stone weighing him down;but he refused to stop.

He hadn't been able to get a leaf packet,so he was without food or any kind of weapon,not to mention shelter,and night would be coming fast.Not that it bothered him much.When night came,at least the weather would be cooler.The scorching sun burned into his skin,making him feel like his pelt was going to burst in flames at some point.

I should try and find water,he thought.His smacked his lips,realizing just how thirsty he was.His ears perked when he heard the faint trickling of water.A stream must be near by!he thought joyfully.

Forcing himself to move into a steady trot,he pushed his way through bracken until he came out into a clearing with a small puddle of water lay under a jagged rock,the slow trickle of water dripping into the small puddle.

Swiping his tongue over his jaws,he quickly padded over,crouched beside the puddle and began thirstily drinking,the cool water refreshing his dry mouth.I should stay here.There's water and I might find some food if I'm lucky.His belly growled loudly in hunger.I hope I'm really lucky.

As he got up from his position,water dripping from his muzzle,a heavy weight landed on his back.Pain shot through his leg as sharp fangs pierced it.He barked out in pain,struggling to get out from under his attacker.

Swinging his head around,he opened his jaws and aimed for an ebony tail.Closing his jaws on it,he swung his head around again and threw the ebony attacker to the ground.He let out a moan as his head thudded against the ground.

Splash felt himself be lifted by the leg into the air as the other attacker swung him wildly as if he were prey.The Aussie struggled to stay conscious as his vision blurred and a red mist slowly began clouding the corners of his eyes.

I can't die! he thought in dread.I promised Black Paw I'd win the Games!

With every bit of strength he had,he kicked his legs as his attacker kept swinging him.Feeling his leg hit something,a sharp yelp sounded as he crashed to the ground.Blood oozed from his wound,and his back leg that had been bitten felt like it was on fire.Refusing to give up,Splash feebly got up and launched himself at the O.C. that had tried to kill him.A blue fox with three tails and white wings bared her fangs as her Kitzune tails lashed madly.

Skyfire! Splash realized.As he landed at her chest,he sunk his teeth in,feeling them rip through flesh as blood poured from her wound.The fox let out an ear-splitting pain of cry as Splash ripped through her chest.Letting go,he landed on his side and struggled to get up.He weakly began trying to run while limping on his horribly injured hind leg.

The Games never seemed this hard! he thought grimly.Maybe I won't survive.Maybe I will die...

I did a cliff hanger. .D. Yaayz ^^ Yea,I might start mixing in the POV's so I don't end up having so many chapters.Anyways,what do you think so far? c: Who do you think will win the Games?Splash?Bismuth?Shadestar?Let me know! :D Also,thank you Echostrike for giving me a little more inside look on your O.C.'s and ImagineSilver for commenting! c: I LUV U BOOTIFUL PPL ;O;
