12

Levy's POV

What just happened? Two people from District 2 just came out of the set and were at each others throats. I turn to face Gajeel who just shrugs.

The line finally goes down and it is our turn to go in. Im shaking like a leaf because I get stage fright really badly.
"Just keep calm and answer the questions he gives you." Gajeel pushes me through the doors which separate me and him.

I turn round the corner and see a boy with black hair walk off the stage. He gives me an intimidating look when I pass him.

I suddenly feel dizzy when I hear the applauds of the audience and Ichiya speaking. I swallow a lump forming in my throat and walk on. The rainbow flashing lights blind me and the booming capitol music is deafening. I walk slowly but stumble towards Ichiya.

"Well well, who do we have here?" Ichiya pushes a microphone into my face whilst I sit down.

"LEVY MCGARDEN!" I yell. My cheeks burn bright red from the embarrassment. Ichiya just laughs it off.

"Well, Levy I see you have a bit of stage fright." My heart thunders inside my chest. I bob my head up and down. The audience cheer.

"Well Levy can you tell us a bit about yourself?"

"I grew up in District 12 with my brother and I went to Ashton school."

"What was your brothers name?" Ichiya questions.

"Jet." I reply. Ichiya laughs. Whilst the audience continue to cheer.

"Well, can you tell us your reasons why you want to win the games?" I shake my head and sigh leaning further into the seat.

"I have none, I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'm going to die. It would be nice however to see my brother again though..." Ichiya face falls.

"Well ladies and gentlemen Levy McGarden foe you!" I get pulled off stage and I Gajeel as I pass. He nods his head then he walks on.

I quickly walk on back to my room and begin to cry. Even after all that Gajeel has done for me I am still accepting the fact that I'm going to die tommorow. I pick up my book and begin to turn the pages.

At least when I die I will be peacefully in a forest or near a lake . I think to myself. I roll over on my bed and begin to change into pyjamas.

"Levy, you decent?" I hear Gajeel knock on the door.

"NO!" I yell quickly and slip on a top and bottoms. I then proceed to the door and let Gajeel in.

"Hey." He smiles. I nod my head.

"Whats wrong?" He questions me. I shake my head and sigh. Gajeel places his hand on my shoulder.

"Levy?" He looks me in the eye sharply. His stare makes me feel small.

"I want to sleep now." I point to the door. Gajeel tilts his head and sighs. He stands up.

"Well our deal is still on. Team Gale for the count!" He winks before leaving the room.

I didn't sleep at all last night and neither did and of the tributes looking at their faces. Each and every person had dark circles under their eyes. I was directed with Gajeel to some air craft where we had to sit in some seat.

"Well after three weeks of intense training its finally hear." The peacekeeper infront of us begins a speech. Some woman come around with a large needle which they stab into peoples arms.

"What is this?" Gajeel questions as the needle is pit inside of him.

"Tracker." The woman replys coldly. She moves onto me and does think twice when she injects the needle into my arm. It follows with a sharp pain. This will probally be the least painful thing I will feel in days.

"Levy." Gajeel takes my hand.

"Don't step off of the podiums to early or else." He whispers into my ear sending a chill down my spine. I nod my head.

"Also run straight into the forest and hide. Don't speak to anyone. Nobody is your friend."

"Okay tributes come eith us." We are separately guided over into to some room. Gajeel turns left when I go right.

"Nobody is your friend." Gajeel's words echo through my head.

This is it Levy. I step into the glass cylinder which closes around me. I feel like screaming and crying when it pulls me down into the arena.

A circle of twenty-four tributes are all shaking in fear. Death glares are shot between people . I desperately look for Gajeel.

He is on the podium across from me. Run straight to the forest, run straight to the forest.

"30..," a countdown begins. My hear beat increases. The girl beside me with short white hair bursts into tears.

"25..," A cold voice sounds. I see a glimmer of silver in the middle of the arena.

"The cornucopia..," I say to myself. I see bags and bags of weapons, food and other survival items. Gajeel shakes his head and slides a finger across his neck.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6..," each second feels quicker than the last. I feel very faint and scared the clothes I'm wearing feel tight around my skin. I feel scared, no more petrified.

"5..," I keep my eyes locked with Gajeel's. He looks the same as me. Scared. A Scarlet Hired girl beside him looks very threatening. She has a cold stare and the Blue haired boy across from her looks mad and psychotic.

My vision begins to darken and black dots appear infront of me like I am about to faint

"4..,"
BANG!*

A boy from District 9 jumps off of his podium and the mines beneath him begin to fire. This only makes me feel worse. I could jump down just now and everything would be over.

"3..," Everyones facial expressions change. Everyone's smiles have turned to frowns.

"2..," The beeping and be voice gets louder.

"1!" A cannon blares and I immediately run into the trees. The sounds of screaming and slashing behind me make me run faster. I just hope Gajeel is okay...
