Ivan started up the rope for a moment, determined to at least get over the wall, but sighed and slid slowly down the rope after seeing Micah pulling out a knife. If Micah cut the rope they'd both at least break a bone. Ivan had no time for injuries, he'd just find another way over, or at least around. But how else would he scale the wall? He had a dagger, but could that penetrate the wall? He doubted it. The rope was his only hope. Ivan quickly started back up the rope, and made it all the way up to Micah before the rope finally gave out and fell. Ivan reached up and caught the end of the rope. His arm nearly tore off, but he was holding onto the rest of the rope with one hand.
Ivan grunted and began pulling himself up the now shorter rope. Even though it was a load of pain, Ivan finally made it over the wall and ran towards the finish line. Where the others were waiting.
After severing the rope, I jump the rest of the way down, metting Rutila and Jesse. Pain and shock from the fall shoot up my legs and I grimace, sure I at least twisted something. Taking a step, I find I'm not badly hurt, that it's just a sprain.
Almost falling forward, the girls catch me and I make a note to be sure something like this doesn't happen again. Jesse runs ahead to beat Ivan to the finish line while Rutila helps me. I take a deep breath when we cross it and thank her, shifting all my weight onto my good foot and sending a glare Ivan's way.
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
I sat Micah down to assess his injuries, I checked the back of his head for burn marks I saw earllier they were small and something that would heal with a cooled pack and time. then I checked his leg for any injuries but as I pressed around no pain sprung up. it must have been something small, something that would heal up after a few minutes of rest.
"You should be fine, just rest until the next round."I told him.

I thank Rutila again and stay seated, watching as the rest of the contestants come in. "So, you've done this before?" I ask. She nods. "How do you win?"

It's a while before I see Ivan again. I hope Drake hasn't died, I don't know where he is.
"Congrats, Callie, you deserved it."
I turn and smile at Jesse, the girl standing next to me. I know she's the enemy, but it's rude to ignore people.
"Thank you, but it's Cassie, not... Callie. It's okay though..."
Ivan is walking over to me now, looking smug. Something must have happened, and from the look on Micah's face I have a good feeling who it happened to. On the plus side, Ivan isn't wearing a shirt. I'm okay with this.
"How'd you get over the wall?"
"Jesse's face and Micah's stupidity."
"Oh.. That's amazing. Umm... I won."
"Yeah."
I smiled and sat down, my leg were burning like something fierce, and tried in vain to wipe some mud off my dress. It was completely ruined. I really liked this dress too. I wonder if we got new clothes.
I spotted the announcer and walked over towards him.
"Hello," I started, trying to grin through my nervousness, " my dress is muddy. Do we get more clothes? Can I wash this?"

ok so every step i took got me further and further away from the direction i should have taken but i felt it was the right way.plus ronaldo didn't give us any rules...
the trail seemed to stop all of a sudden in an area with grass. i tuched the grass, it was fake! and i found a trap door! i opened it and couldn't see a thing. my sixth sense urged me in but i was afraid. if anyone set the parrafin on fire i would die.
in the end i went in and found a tunnel.everything was so peacful until i smelt smoke. and a certain proverb goes where theres smoke there's fire. at first i was wishing for light,but now i take it back. i ran as fast as i could but the smoke was now in my lung.when i thought all was lost i saw some light. i crawled out of the base of a tree into the open air. the others were there...so this was the finish line. they didn't seem to notice me until i coughed. shoot! too much smoke in my lungs. i could here one of them ask, "where did she come from?" i looked up and saw them looking at me as if they just remembered i was there. operation be invisible was a fail.
i looked at the course expecting to see fire, but i saw nothing.it was gone. i turn around and run in effort to hide my pressence but instead everything got blury and i was falling. next thing i knew i had fainted.

The horn sounded and I ran. I followed Ivan, as he was a faster runner. All of a sudden, I slipped and sprained my ankle. The pain was excruciating. I kept going though. When I reached the finish line, I found myself in second to last. I was mad, but I quickly realized that the lower level fools had cheated.
(The others didn't cheat but Octavius just said that to reassure himself, that he didn't fail)
"The one thing I regret about reading is not being able to live the lifes and adventures of the characters. Maybe that's why I want to write; to create a story that somebody else would want to live."- Me
I nodded again as I saw everyone else come except that thug, I hoped he was burned alive by the fire piller's.
"You got to be knowledgeable and trained for these kind of things, I learned first aid from my mother who was a nrse at a hospital. And how to fight from my father who was a high ranking army intructer. And how to adpat to my envirorments from a... friend. of... mine." I began to slow down my voice started to go into a whisper.
I could feel an emotional break down coming on, I took a deep breath to stop it and alm down.

The look of Rutila's stature tells me that's something's wrong. I stand and isolate all weight on my good foot, setting a hand on her shoulder. "You alright?" I ask. Octavius stumbles in and I notice he's in the same state as me, maybe worse, with a sprain in his ankle. I look back at Rutila for her response.

I nod, Octavius stumbles in looking have had a harder time on the course than the rest of us. Then again I had to thank Micah and Jesse for it I wouldn't have gotten down that wall without finding out who had my knife.
"Don't bother with him, the less compatition we have the less we have to deal with." I said bits of sadness filling my voice.

Ivan watched as Cassie walked off. He wasn't paying much mind to the others, mostly keeping a look out for David. After scanning the ground he saw someone on the floor, looking pretty hurt. Only because he was bored, he walked over.
"Hey, what's up," he said, sticking his hands in his pockets. "You look hurt. Bummer. I haven't seen you around. Sneaking around, eh? Cool."
The girl on the ground just glared up at Ivan, which only made him smile.
"I could use another member of Team Ivan, especially since Drake is missing. If I help you you'll be forever in my debt. I don't give out freebies."
He laughed loudly, but he was completely serious.

i could hear someones voice.slowly i opened my eyes and saw the last person i expected.ivan.at first i tensed. i was going to avoid him especially because of what he said about wanting to kill. but if he wanted me dead i would have been long gone
i was going to refuse his offer because i work alone, but this was the first time someone ever asked if i was ok (he said i looked hurt , close enough) i appreciated it so i sat up and looked him in the eye and nodded to his offer.
no problem. i told myself. soon enough he's probably going to quick me out of his team when he thinks i can't talk.
