Chapter 31. Uriah's POV.

Minho and Cato are telling us everything they overhead and I can't believe what I'm hearing.

They have something their going to use for some kind of plan.

I'm still a confused as to why I'm here. I fully understand what's going on here, and I don't like it. Nope, not one bit.

When this all started, I was in the pit with Zeke standing by the chasm when guys in white suits barged in and started firing things at us.

Zeke and I had started running, it we didn't get passed the railing to the chasm. I was hit in the leg by one and fell, as I started to pass out I saw Zeke running back to me, but he was body slammed hard by two of them and his head slammed into the bars, knocking him out. That's when everything went black.

I then woke up here in the maze arena type thingy were in, but I was already tied to a post where the cranks were. It was terrible, but I was a bit relieved when I saw people I know. Until I saw Four was hurt.

I was very worried about him. After all he's my brother best friend. He is also my friend.

What made it even worse was what the crank did to him and had him do. He had a Freaking head injury and was forced to fight a army of cranks with Eric of all people.

Then Eric got hurt. I'm just glad their ok now. Then there's what Minho and Cato just told us. Can things get any more weird?

" What do we do?" Asks Cato.

For some reason everyone looks to Four, Eric, Me, and Tris.

" I say the best thing to do is wait it out, we know they have something planned so it's not like their going to catch us by surprise." I say.

" Uriah is right. There no way we'll be caught by surprise. We will continue some training until we need to stop and get some rest." Says Four.

" I agree with both of them. Let's continue." Says Eric.

Tris just nods along. We start training again. More stuff on punches and kicks, and the right way to throw a knife or dagger if we came across on and had to use it.

Suddenly Gale stops. " Wait, wait, wait." He says.

We all stop and look at him. " None of this is going to make a bit of difference if we can't even touch the cranks. We may be able to touch them with our hands, but when I shot arrows at them it went straight though them as is they were holograms." Says Gale.

Everyone looks at each other. No one was sure as what to say.

" Maybe it's like how they make things in the original arena. They can make anything appear out of nothing. Those mutts we fought before, they were in the hunger games Peeta and I survived. They weren't real. They seemed real though, and killed nearly killed Cato. What if these cranks are holograms and not actual people? The ones controlling this thing were in could make it to where we can't touch them at all." Says Katniss.

" Of course they wouldn't be real. If they were real cranks then they would be hurting each other, after you know, being fully infected by the flare." Says Newt.

" The flare?" I ask.

" Where we come from its a stupid but very dangerous and contagious disease that infects the body and eats away at the brain making you go insane and crazy. Some are immune to it, where as others aren't, and those who aren't are what we call cranks." Says Thomas.

" Oh ok. Makes sense." I say.

" I hope we can get out of this arena type maze soon, I'm starting to get sick of this bloody place and everything in it." Says Newt.

" You and me both." Says Minho.

After a while more of training, we finally go to sleep. Minho and Thomas were forced to sleep since they stayed up last time.

So Four and I kept watch. We talked for a while and watched for when it was daylight.

Soon enough it was, and everyone woke, and started talking. Then that's when we heard a scream, but not just any scream.one filled with agony, one desperate for help and relief. Then I realized who's scream that was. My eyes grew wide and panic filled my body.

Zeke.

No that can't be true. He's not here, he can't be here. Please don't let him be here!!

Then I hear the scream again and it's even worse then the last one.

I then take off running out of the cave. I have to help him. " WAIT ITS A TRICK!!!" Yelled Katniss running after me with Four right behind her.

" Pin him down." Says Katniss.

Once Four is close enough he lunges for me and tackles me to the ground.

I fight as hard as I can, but they didn't make Four an instructor for nothing.

He manages to pin me down on my stomach with my arms behind my back. He also manages to keep my legs pinned to the ground as well.

I can't fight him. Katniss got down by me. " Do you know that scream?" She asks.

" H-he's my brother. That was him. Get off me Four, I have to help him. Please?!!" I say.

" Listen to me Uriah. That scream is not true. They told us how many people would be here and we're all here. There is no more. It's a trick." Says Katniss.

" But what if your wrong, what if it's true?" I say.

" It's not Uriah. I trust her. Zeke is my best friend and I'm worried it's true as well, but I trust her to know enough about this arena that it isn't true ok." Says Four.

I'm still struggling in his grip. Finally I slowly start to calm. Down.

Then this place is surrounded by cranks, and now we're trapped.

The head cranks walks forward holding a small metal ball.

" Hope you enjoy your last moments on this planet. Later." He says. Then he pressed a button and throws it to our feet.

We scramble to our feet and stand up. The metal ball is beeping. It keeps getting faster then exsplode and little line type wires shoot out and tied around our ankles.

The crank then laughed and walked away.

We looked at each other confused until suddenly strong and painful blots of electricity spread through the wires and into our bodies, then pain filled our bodies so extreme that we scream and fall to the ground, the not less then ten second it stopped and everything went black.
