"Welcome to the first annual Forest Games!! Where we watch some unlucky cats fight to the death!" Scourge's voice rings across Fourtrees like thunder. " The first clan up, Riverclan!"

He places his paw inside a small hole in front of one of the four trees. 

"First she-cat from Riverclan is..." He pulls out a piece of leaf with a name scratched onto it "Greypool!" I hear a gasp from the Riverclan side, as Greypool was shoved out of the group.

"No!" Mistyfoot burst from the ranks and threw herself in front of Greypool. "I'll go!" She wails "Let me go instead, please!" Everyone gapes at her, and I look between her and Scourge.

"As you wish," Scourge says, grinning evilly as Mistyfoot made her way to sit in front of High Rock. "Next, Leopardstar!" 

Leopardstar slowly made her way to sit next to Mistyfoot, tail dragging along the ground. Loudbelly and Mudfur got chosen from the toms.

"Thunderclan!" Scourge yowls "Squirrelkit and Sandstorm!" I gasp. It was bad enough that Sandstorm was Squirrelkit's mother, let alone that she was less than a moon old! She can't go! I watch in horror as they get dragged next to the other tributes. 

"Toms! Graystripe and Bramblepaw!" My vision tunnels and my legs buckle. "Bramblepaw?" Scourge says. I realise that Graystipe was already at Highrock. I stumble up to join him.

"Glad you could join us Bramblepaw!" Scourge snickers "Anyway, Shadowclan..."

The rest of the ceremony was a blur. I'm really in the Forest Games. And there's no way I can survive.
