The Demigod Games

We continue through the forest, and as we walk my need for water is more pronounced.
I suddenly hear a rush of a stream. "Water!" I say running in the direction of the noise. The other four follow me. I run through the bushes finally coming upon a small stream of fresh water.
"Fill up your canteens then drink your share!" I instruct. "We have to camp near by."
Everyone nods and they do as told.
I kneel down by the edge of the stream and I scoop water into my hands. I drink it and it feels so good. I can feel the cool water going down my throat. I fill up my canteen making sure to put iodine in it to disinfect it.
I look up and I see a shadow darting to my left. Suddenly a spear is whizzing past me and it impales itself in Logan's throat.
He collapses to the ground and Sophie screams. We hear a cannon.
Sophie knocks an arrow and lets it fly. We hear a male yell of pain. I look up in front of me. It's Xavier, the oldest tribute and Annabeth's half-brother. The arrow is stuck in his leg, piercing his thigh. Stacey shoots another arrow and it pierces Xavier's eye, directly into his brain. Another cannon goes off.
I felt bile coming up in my throat. I rush over to Logan but it's far too late. His shirt is stained in blood, and he's most definitely dead.
Stacey and Sophie are sobbing. Jake's head is down in sorrow. I push down tears but they still come.
"I killed someone." Stacey whimpers. "I'm a murderer."
I hug Stacey. "It wasn't your fault. It was self defense." I say. But even as I say it, I feel a pain in my chest. I look over to Logan's body. He was one of my best friends, ever since the quest I lead about 8 months ago.
I think of everybody back home. Then I think of his girlfriend. "Oh, shit. Poor Sam." I say. Sam and Logan were really close and if she sees this, she would be devastated.
"What do we do with the body?" Jake asks. As I'm about to shrug, Logan's body disappears. All that is left is his pack, that spear and his sword.
"Well, I guess we have our answer." Sophie says. I pick up Logan's sword and give it to Jake. I transfer all of Logan's supplies into my pack and I give the spear to Stacey.
I look up and I realize that the sun is going to set soon.
"You guys, we need to set up camp." I say.
Everyone nods and we search for an appropriate spot, and after looking around for a while, Jake finds one. Jake and I build our shelter and Sophie and Stacey build theirs. After 20 minutes we're finally done, but by then, I notice I'm starving.
"We need food." I say. Jake nods. Since we're not to far from the river, we try to see if we can fish. I weave a net out of the rope and I manage to snare 4. Jake and I try to get the scales off as Stacey and Sophie make a fire.
"I can't stop thinking about Logan." Jake whispers quietly.
"I know. The image is pretty damn painful." I reply.
He hugs me and kisses me softly. "I really don't want that to be you." He murmurs.
I look down and he pulls me close to him. He presses his lips to mine and he tucks a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. "I love you." He breathes into my ear.
"I love you too." I say kissing his cheek. I look at the water.
The sun is almost down and I point it out to Jake. We look down at the fish and after noticing our minimal progress, we get back to preparing them.
We are done a few minutes later and we cook them over the fire.
When we finally sit down to eat, music begins to be played throughout the forest. I look up and the Olympus logo is projected onto the sky. We all stop eating to look.
"Hello all tributes!" Aeolus says smiling up on the projection. "We'll be showing all of you who died today!"
Suddenly a picture of Logan shows up (alive and well) and my eyes widen. "Logan Namrel, Apollo's male tribute age 15 perished today." Then a short clip of Logan's death is played. I fight back the urge to scream in rage and instead I grip my knife in my hand.
"How dare they show a clip of his death like that!? How dare they!?" I say through clenched teeth.
Then the deaths of the others are portrayed in the same way. The tributes who were killed today were Xavier, Britney, Collin and Blake. I fight the urge to throw up when Britney's death is played. Miranda killed her and it was very, very ugly.
I bury my head in Jake's shoulder, refusing to see the rest.
Once it is over, we return to our food. The fish is bland, but its better than nothing. "That leaves 17 of us." Stacey says quietly.
I nod. "We have to be careful. Jake and I will take first watch. You girls go get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be tough."
The girls nod and finish eating. They head back into their shelter. Then, it's just Jake and I.
Jake wraps his arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder. We sit in silence. We stay that way until our shift is up and the girls take watch. I am exhausted and afraid at what tomorrow brings us. Jake hugs me close and we fall asleep almost immediately.
