The story's about a class of year 6 or 7, they're kidnapped and brought to a remote building somewhere far away... The people want to play a game and let them go, the children have to run away as far as possible, or else they get caught and killed. they're given 10 seconds headstart to get out the building and run empty-handed while people with guns and stuff try chasing them. Its kinda like a game of Hide and seek, but if you lose, you die.
The part below is a part when Danny (main character) is out of the building runing. This isnt the beginning unfortunately. Hope you like it =]
Story
He stood there, with a gun in his hands directly pointing right between my eyes. I was on the floor staring helplessly at his grin. I felt as if we were having a conversation but there was one problem - we weren’t speaking. The only thing I could hear was my heart, beating five times as fast as usual but I knew I wasn’t going to die - not yet anyways. I crawled back trying to reach the gun, just lying beside me. He knew what I was doing and pulled the trigger. Nothing Happened. Unintentionally, I rapidly grabbed the metallic gun, aim at his chest and - well, you know what happened next. He fell to the floor.
I dropped the gun. I had just killed someone. I had never killed anyone before. I’m only 11. I felt like a murderer - I was a murderer.
After a while, I heard something rustle in the bush behind me, so I turned round. It was Kim.
“We’ve got to get out of here! Right now!” she shouted.
“Kim, I just-”
“NOW!”
So we both started running. Running nowhere. Kim was running at quite a high-speed and her long black hair fluttered behind her. It was proving very difficult to catch up. Then I started running out of breathe so I stopped.
“Kim, wait! Stop! Let’s rest for a while, we’ve been running for ages.” I said.
“OK, but be quick. We’ve gotta keep running. Or else they’ll find us… - Are you alright? You look really pale”.
“I had just killed someone”, I looked away while saying it ,since it wasn’t something that I should be proud of.
“Danny, don’t you get it?” she said, pursuing her point, “They want us dead! This is like a game. And I’m not ready to lose. Are you?”.
She was right. This is a game. And I’m not ready to lose either. They’re trying to kill us. Why should we lie there like sitting-ducks? We should have the right to kill them too. I had finally come to my senses. This was a matter of life or death.
“No, I’m not ready to lose. You’re right. Thanks for knocking some sense into me.” I thought for a minute and told myself I shouldn’t really necessarily be saying ‘Thanks’ since she just told me it was alright to kill.
She smiled and said, “Com’on we better get running”.
So off we went. Running. Again.
