Name: Sabrina Whyte

'Damn it. How am I suppose to get out of here?' I think as I pace around my prison. It's not actually a prison, just a room that looks and feels like one. I sit down on the corner of my new bed. 'What am I going to do? Even if I do participate into the Exams, i have no idea how to control my Gift!'

"Sabrina?" I hear an unfamiliar voice ask. "Sabrina?" It's not Thomas, I'd recognize his voice anywhere, and it's not that Kate woman either, the voice is much to masculine. Our of shear curiosity, I speak.

"Yes?"

"Oh good! I'd thought you killed yourself when you didn't answer!" I know it's a joke, but it make me feel inferior. Do people really think I'm that desperate to get out of here? "Anyway, can I come in?"

I nod, but then I realize he can't see me. I stand up and walk to the door. "Yes," I say as I pull open the metal door. I'm taken back as I look at the unknown man. He is tall with blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Hi, I'm Mark."

"Are you a Hybrid in the Exams?" I ask.

"I'm a Hybrid, but I'm not in the Exams. I'm your trainer." He laughs.

"Oh, sorry." I apologize.

"It's fine, but why don't you come down to train with me?" I ponder this. Should I? I mean, if there is no escaping the Keeper Exams, why not try and win?

"Alright." I state. Mark looks taken back by my response. "What?"

"I didn't expect you to want to come so easily."

"Why?" What he mean he didn't expect me to come easily?

"Well, I heard you were sort of a nervous wreck." What? A "nervous wreck"?

"Excuse me?" I spit. Who does this guy think he is? He just waltzes into my room and asked me to train and then he's saying I'm a nervous wreck!

"Um... I heard you, you know, are a bit... Unstable." He looks very uncomfortable now.

"Well for your information, I'm fine. Now if you excuse me, I'll be going." I walk past him, purposely hitting him with my shoulder.

"Sabrina wait!" He yells. I break into a run down an unknown hallway. Why does everyone think I'm crazy? I'm considered weird when I'm around humans and now I'm considered weird when I'm around Hybrids! Why can't I just fit in?

I keep running, making random left turns and right turns in hopes of loosing Mark. After a while, I come across a set of doors. There are no other hallways other than the one I just came down. Since I don't want to run into Mark, I decide to enter through the doors.

I push the heavy metal and I'm greeted by a blinding white light. When my eyes adjust, I see that I'm in a training center of some sort. At first glance, I saw just regular boxing rings, but when I looked closer, I saw that the boxing rings were littered with electrical devices.

"Hi," a voice says behind me. I literally jump when the person speaks because I mistake whoever spoke for Mark. "A little jumpy, aye?" When I realize it isn't Mark, I relax.

"No, I just thought you were someone else." I reply. I see the guy smirk at me. He as brown hair and tan skin, and, in my opinion, is kind of cute. "What is this place?" I ask. The stranger gives me a confused look.

"You don't know? It's the training center where Hybrids of different Gifts dual." I nod my head as if I understand, when in reality I don't.

"Okay," is all I say. He gives me another smile and I spot something in his eyes -mischievousness I think.

"Hey, do you want to fight me?" He asks out of the blue.

"What? Why would I want to fight you?" Something is definitely off here.

"Just for fun, you know, a friendly fight." I don't really want to fight, but for the past year I've been friendless, and if fighting means having a friend, then I'll do it.

"Um... Okay." The boy smiles at me and I swear I felt butterflies in my stomach.

I follow The guy into one of the high-tech boxing rings. I stand by one corner will The boy types something into a small box. Then, all of a sudden my surroundings change. Instead of the training center, I'm in a jungle.  Instantly I feel hot and suffocated. I look up to the boy; he's in a fighting position; I ready myself as well.

'Okay, I can fight him without using my Gift, can't I?' I rub this through my head. Maybe, if I try really hard, I can win. The boy suddenly runs deeper into the jungle. I decide to follow him.

I listen carefully as I venture through the jungle. After what seems like five minutes, I rest against a tree. I wish I had a weapon of some sort. Then, where the bark of the tree had been, I feel cold metal. I look at the once tree and see an iron rod. 'What the?'

Suddenly, I here rustling of leaves. My head jerks in the direction of the sound. I grab the rod and make my way closer to the sound.

I sneak up to what I presume to be the boy hiding under a bush. "I see you." I point out. the boy jerks up to a standing position.

"Do you now?" He says as he lunges at me. I swing my rod like a baseball bat, but he dodges it. It's almost like he saw it coming.

"You're going to have to do better than that." He replies. I take this as a challenge. I jump onto of him and we both fall to the ground. For a second I'm on top of him and I feel victorious. That is, until he throws me off of him.

I fall next to a tree, my rod slipping away from my grasp. I reach up to touch a broken branch and I turn it into another metal rod. Suddenly, I feel extremely lightheaded and hot. I slowly stand up, the heat unbearable. I quickly slip my shirt off, not caring that I just revealed more skin then I had in my entire life to a boy I just met.

The boy looks at me uncertainly for a minute, then charges. I manage to hit his arm, but he quickly recovers. He jumps on top of me, and I fall forcefully to the ground. My head spins as I look up.

"I probably should of mentioned this, but the only way to end a simulation is to have an opponent die." My eyes widen. Is he going to kill me?

I try to wiggle away, but the boy sits on top of me and puts his hands around my neck, choking me. I try to do the same, but my vision starts to blur. My hands fall limp to my side as I stared up at the boy.

Then he stops. I open my eyes to reveal that I'm back in the training center. I take a deep breath of air. I try to stand up, but I fall to my knees and I cough up blood. I stay like that, gasping for breath, for about five minutes until the boy walks up to me.

"Hey look, I'm sorry about that. I guess I should've explained more about the simulation before we fought." I put my hand up to silence him. I slowly stand up, only to wobble a bit and stumble. The boy catches me.

"Let go of me." I hiss. I don't care if this guy is sorry, thanks to him I know what it's like to die. After a hesitant moment, the boy releases me from his grasp. I then break into a sprint. The boy calls out to me, but I don't listen.

I run out of the training room, and as luck would have it, I run into Mark.

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Man, when they said you were unstable, they weren't kidding- wait, is that blood?" He asks, noticing the blood on my chin. I wipe it off and push past him. "Sabrina!" He calls out for me, much like he did before, but this time he doesn't follow me. I walk back to my room, which I get directions for from some random person, alone.

After what seems like forever, my stomach starts to growl. I recall Kate saying something about dinner, so I decide to go and investigate. After I wonder around for a bit, I spot a bunch of teenagers heading towards a big room which I presume to be the cafeteria. I stride in through two double-doors.

I grab some food from a buffet line, and I find a vacant table. I go and sit down there. I look down at my meal; I hadn't really paid attention to what I put on it, so now I have chicken, salad, fruit, and a brownie. I eye the chicken wearily. If I'm going to start turning into animals, I need to stop eating them. I casually push the chicken to the far end of my plate.

I start to shovel food into my mouth- who knew I had been so hungry?- when someone puts a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to face that boy from earlier.

"Look, I'm really, really sorry. I didn't know you'd freak out. I know it's hard to except some Hybrid ways." I swallow some food, and turn so my whole body is facing him.

"I understand. It's just been... Hard, ya' know?" I surprise myself with my words. Where did all this forgiveness come from? The guy breathes a sigh.

"Yeah, I know. I'm Jace by the way." Jace sticks out his hand for me to shake.

"Sabrina." I answer, shaking his hand.

"I was wondering, do you want to be in an alliance? You were pretty good today." The butterflies I had earlier when I had first met him return as I nod yes. "Awesome!" I smile at him.

"Hi!" A random voice says. I turn to see an Asian with pretty features standing next to me.

"Hey." I reply, unsure of what else to say. I see another girl walk up beside the first one, this one has brown hair and eyes.

"We saw you two fighting earlier." The Asia one says. I feel subconscious at the thought of two strangers watching me. I see the brunette's face turn red.

"And?" Jace asks.

"We want to ally with you." I do a double take. What?

"We don't even know your names." I state. I've learned today that Hybrids are weird, but really? I shift in my seat as the Asian girl glares at me.

"I'm Crysalis and this is Loira." Crysalis explains. "Now will you ally with us or not?" Jace and I share a look. Who comes up to two people they've never met and alas to be allies?

"Maybe." Jace states, his mischievous grin returns. "But how do we know you are worth it?"

"We'll prove ourselves!"  Loira says, which is the first thing she's said this whole time.

"How?" Jace and I ask in unison.

"How about we meet up at the training center later tonight. Then we'll fight." Crysalis explains. Jace nods his head.

"Deal."

Jace and I talk for about an hour before we are ready to go and watch Crysalis and Loira fight. Apparently he's twenty and has the gift of survival. After we finished talking, we venture to the training center.

When we get there, Crysalis and Loira look like they're about to kill each other when we arrive.

"Alright ladies, let's see what you've got." Jace says. I realize that he is the only guy in our alliance. I wonder if it's awkward for him. I'm snapped out of my thoughts as Loira and Crysalis begin.

They fight hard and well. I see Crysalis manipulate watering fire. Jace mumbles something about an "elemental". I also see Loira healing herself. I wonder what her gift is.

After a while of back and forth fighting, Crysalis glass to the ground, and Loira "strangles" her. Jace and I walk over Loria as she helps the breathless Crysalis up.

"You guys to okay." Jace says.

"Just okay?" Crysalis repeats. "Do you have any idea of what we just did?"

"Yeah, I watched. Anyone could do what you guys did." Jace chuckles. I realize he's just teasing, but I don't honk Crysalis and Loira know that.

"Why you little-" Crysalis punchesJace square in the jaw. My mouth drops open, but Jace just laughs.

"You're feisty, aren't your? We could use someone feisty like you on our team. You're both in." I smile as Loira and Crysalis grin. I turn to Jace.

"It's kind of late, I should go." I wave goodbye as I head back to my room. The three of them wave farewell.

When I finally get to my room, I let sleep overtake my body.

Name: Adam Black

My eyes open the cold bed shows me a sign that I'm not in my house. I look around its a metal room no windows... Only one door. Their is a bathroom though. I try to use my power. All I feel is nothing. My insides feel empty. I reach for the doorknob and turn it. The door reveals a hallway one way leading right one Leading left. 'Which way should I go' I inquired

I heated laughter one way. I decided to follow it, after a right turn I was there a large cafeteria with people siting at a table. I walk over and sit down next to them without asking. They all went dead silent.

"What's up?" I ask

A guy piped up "nothing...who are you?"

"My name. My name is Adam black. What about you."

"My name is Luke." He said as I nodded my head

"Mines Adam black." I said. A girl smiled and said

"Hi my name is Serena. Her over there she's Lana. Also that's Samuel." I said hellos to both of them to.

They went back to talking and asking me all sorts of questions. Like What is your gift? If you could pick any gift to have what would you pick? What's your favorite color? And on and on.

I excused my self to go train. If I'm forced to be in this game why not try to win. I walk around and find myself going lower then the floor I'm on. I walk into a room that was full of people that look like there not in the games A guy approached me.

"Name?" He asked

I look at him funny then say "Adam black." He walked away for a minute. When I see a woman come to me.

"Follow me." She said I followed she made me go in a separate room with a bunch of random things. "Okay for our first part of training we see how much you can do." She said

I grabbed a pole and focused on changing it.  I closed my eyes and pushed my power into it when I opened my palm their was a rubber duck. When I squeezed it made a squeaky sound.  "how's this." I said jokingly

"Stop joking. This is serious!" She said

"Fine." I said focusing and changing it to a katana "better?" I say and point it at her.

"Good." She said. I walked out after we were done and met with my "friends" when we met up we talked about an alliance and it was set

Name: Wednesday Addams

As I stood in the training room, I saw others around me. As I held my crossbow (I was allowed to bring my personal crossbow), I reached over to grab another arrow when I noticed they were all gone. I looked over and another girl was holding a bow and an arrow. My last arrow.

"Hey! Give me my arrow back!"

"Does it have your name on it?" She says.

"No, but it is one of the few things I was allowed to bring from home, so give it pack to me before I shoot you!"

"How would you shoot me if you don't have an arrow?" By this point I am fuming.

"I dare you to spar with me. We'll see how you feel after we're done"

"You're on." We walk to an empty training room. We pass my trainer Alice on the way to the room.

 "Hey, Wednesday."

"Hey, Alice." When we entered the room there was silence.

"So..." The girl said.

"Let's get started." I say. I throw a punch at her, and she grabs my hand like she knew what i was going to do. She punches back, and I stumble backwards.  She advances and keeps attacking. I feel threatened. I need to use my gift. I look up at her. I then feel it happening. I'm transforming, and my body is tingling. I look down at myself and I see the body of a wildcat. I snarl up at Apollo. She looks taken aback. I move towards her, growling.

"How about we call a truce?" She says. I nod. It will take me a little while to calm down and return to my human form.
