Ready or Not || A Mini Oneshot
I escaped from the bloodbath, running as fast as I could away from the Cornucopia, my pickaxe in hand. I stopped as I reached a clearing to catch my breath. Had Colt made it through? I shook my head, I couldn’t think about it, not anymore. It was all me, my first priority was me, myself, and I.
I looked around. I saw a few trees, and I huge mountain. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and trudged forward, the weight of the pickaxe beginning to become annoying. Suddenly, I heard something. I looked up and saw a shadow. I gasped a little, taking a step back and raising my pickaxe. I didn’t move, sticking my feet to the ground like glue, poised and ready for the kill. After a few seconds, I slowly began to move forward. The shadow appeared to be getting smaller, farther away. I sighed, lowering my pickaxe a bit and continuing on. I didn’t know if the danger was gone, but I kept walking anyway, occasionally looking towards the shadows previous location, to see if it was still there.
I decided I should explore the arena. All I had was a weapon, maybe there was something more useful around here. I needed food, and water. I took a deep breath and trudged forward.
