I woke up to Irena's cheerful voice.
'Go away'. I grumbled.
'You aren't a morning person are you?'.
'Come on. We have to get ready for today'.
I opened my eyes to see her beautiful face smiling down at me.
She had black spots around her eyes, which made it obvious that she cried herself to sleep.
'Why?'.
'I heard that we're meeting the head of this place today'. She said looking exited.
I doubted if she'll be that happy if she knew how 'the head of the place'. Looked.
'haven't you seen her?'.
'No'. She frowned.
'But I did'.
'You did?'.
'Yes'.
'When?'.
'My first day here'.
'Uhm-- OK, but why is that? I didn't see her on my first day and I don'

'You all will be grouped into 5 groups. Each batch will have 10 hunters'.'The first batch will move the day after tomorrow, I will call out the names of the ones to go tomorrow in the next two hours, till then you all should move to your various rooms. Dismiss'.We all moved to our various rooms, Irena and I moving to the same room.'Do you think She'll pick us to go for the first batch?'.'What if she picks you for this batch and doesn't pick me?'.'Or if she picks me and don't pick you?'. She asked panicking.'It's alright, don't panic, either ways at the end we'll come back and be together'.

'Chuff, chuff, chuff'.That was the sound of the helicopter whirling. The first batch hunters where standing in a straight line beside the helicopter addressed by Julia.'For the hunt, you are allowed to use all the machinery provided, guns, bombs. Anything. But the only weapon you're not allowed is spear'.She said the word like it was the most dangerous thing on earth.'So if you have any hidden weapon of any kind, drop them on the floor now!'.Two men marched forward and dropped the knifes hidden in the belts.'Wise'. Julia clapped then turned so fast I only saw breeze. In an instant she was at the front of a lady whom I recognised as Mimi and before I could blink reached into her shirt and brought out a small knife.'Not wise'. She smirked and Mimi screamed while holding her head.'Just a warning, next time I won't be so nice.

We were woken the next day by a trumpet.Irena jumped up and started screaming.'Calm down, they're probably trying to wake us'.'Why?'.'I dunno, let's go outside first'.We scrambled out of bed and quickly changed our clothes not bothering to take our baths.We came out of our room only to see others filing out too. We joined the group heading to the head hall.I looked up to see Julia sitting on a chair placed on the podium, she looked like a fallen angel from the pit of hell.'Good morning, hunters'. She greeted.'Good Morning'. We said in unison.She smiled her devilish smile. 'I'm sorry for waking you like that. I had something important to share with you'.She took out a cigarette from the air and a slave behind her lit it for her.She brought it to her mouth and pu

I watched as the clouds drift past by the window.The urge to go back pulled at my heart squeezing it tightly, I fought against it and won but doesn't mean the urge left completely I still felt the great need to smash open the helicopter's window, squeeze myself through it and jump down, to whatever lies beneath.I felt someone squeeze my hand and it turned out to be Irena. Her eyes were closed but I could tell she was awake.Her hands felt cold which betrayed her calm demeanor. She told me once that her hands gets unnaturally cold whenever she was anxious or petrified.I squeezed back and it calmed me down a bit.I could think straight once more without my thoughts drifting towards jumping to my death.Not for the first time, my thoughts drifted towards the place. And this time, I didn't try to take my mind off it.I had to face it and be strong

Lucas led us through the dimly lit forest in sure steps with Adrianna walking beside him intentionally sashaying, she was obviously proud of the fact that it was her man that was bold enough to take the lead.Lucas walked like he had been in the forest before, like he was used to walking through dimly lit and scary forest probably full of shadows waiting for us to come near before they devoured us.As we went deep into the forest murmuring started to rise, people were starting to get less scared because we had been walking for at least 2 hours and nothing had happened yet.The only sign of living things were rabbits running around the thick bushes at the sight if us.Adrianna still stayed stuck at Lucas's side and I wondered how long she'd do that before she actually gets bored and move to talk t

I shivered so bad that Lucas had to pull me closer, he glanced down at me in his arms and raised an eyebrow, quietly asking if I was alright to which I nodded.I looked back to the spot where I had seen the weird creature, the thing I saw couldn't be human.There was nothing there but it felt like I was being watched,like we were being watched."Are you sure you're okay?" Lucas's question pulled me from my thoughts. I was probably behaving weirdly and I could see he starting to worry."Yeah, it's just-- I'm cold. Yeah cold." I lied. It wasn't actually a lie since I suddenly felt chilled to the bones."Oh, hold on for a moment then, we should set up the camps soon its dark after all and this place keeps getting creepier but no worries okay? I've been in forests even late at night and there are no such things as witches or wizards or vamps." He chuckled.He said that to calm

A sudden chill started from my spine and worked it's way up my neck. I sat up from my stiff position on the ground disturbing Irena in the process. I was too preoccupied with the apprehension that something bad was about to happen to apologize to her. I looked around slowly, not to fast to warrant an attack in case there were some things waiting for a movement to attack. And I saw them. A tiny gasp, which I barely caught left Irena's mouth and I could see them stir. The forest around had plenty pairs of red laser like eyes. I could guess that the creatures probably thought they were well hidden while keeping an eye on us but they must be some dumb creatures if they didn't think their eyes would give them away so the only way out for us is to try to outsmart them or we become fast food to them. I turned back towards Irena who looked about to pass out and motioned for her to stay quiet. I gestured with m

The sun was setting. People were rushing, rushing to get home.To people who they haven't seen for the past 8 hours.Some rushing back to the kids waiting for them at home. And others rushing back to their spouses at home.Some to their friends who lived with them. Friends like families.They were all rushing back to people who loved and cared for them.A family who would welcome them back home with open hands and smiles and probably would have a dinner set for them.But I?Nah, I'm not that lucky.Well it's not a surprise, I've always had bad lucks. The people around me have always made it their job to remind me that I'm a bad luck.Even my own mother died after my birth, I guess my bad luck affected her too.She should have just aborted me.My father tells me that every

'I like your hair'.'Oh, really?'.'Uh uh'.'What's there to like about it?'.'The colour, the texture'. She said running her fingers through the strands.I snorted. 'I'd chose yours anytime'.She rolled her eye and smiled.'Eleanor said we look alike'.'Really? She said that?'.'Yep'.I nodded. 'I'm glad to look like someone as beautiful as you are'. I winked.She blushed. 'The honor is mine'.'By the way, who is Eleanor?'.'The cleaner, I thought you meg her already. She said-'.'Oh yeah, we did.
