Synopsis: Hunted & Haunted

Back in the day the Olympics were a time for countries to get together and join hands in what people called the most spectacular event of the year. But since the uprising ninety four years ago things got bad, and finally the entire world was dwindled down into one country. Tannan. A'finate wanted to be the center of the world, so they began to make themselves the Capitol City of Tannan. The other towns had no choice but to slip into silence and go on in their normal ways. However A'finate decided that in order to make things more productive in Tannan they would assign each town to different resources and the town would have to base their jobs off of that. That's not the best part though. Every single year A'finate would host the biggest event of the year - The Capitol Games. In a way they were like the Olympics, but since A'finate didn't want another uprising on their hands they made it so that the towns would be too afraid to rebel. They chose four kids from the five towns, ages eleven to eighteen to participate in the anual games. If the four sacrifices from the same town survived while all the other's were killed, then the four would get to go home safe and sound. If one died, then only two were allowed to live in total. It didn't matter if they were frmo the same town or not.

This year Evra Kyler Valdez's name has been pulled from the glass ball, containing countless other's from Everrain. With her goes her best friend, Russold Novak and two others. Daysha Donner and Eliah Kaisor. Evra is determined to lose neither Russ or Daysha, and since the three need to survive, so does Eliah. Together the four create a pact, making sure that if one dies the other three or two will avenge his or her death. Then they enter the Games. Evra has never been more frightened, not for her own life, but for the people she has set to protect. She doesn't want to lose Russ, who is her family, or Daysha who has become like a sister to her. Eliah on the other hand she could do without, but in order to get Daysha and Russ through, she must rely on Eliah's strength and determination to get back to Everrain as well. From hunting to being haunted in her dreams, Evra faces her biggest challenge yet.

Excerpt: Hunted & Haunted

I could hear talking outside my room, though I knew the voices were travelling away from me. I didn’t recognize them, and I realized that the only contact I had on the train were with Daysha, Eliah, Russold, Carver and Mariel. I hadn’t talked to anyone else, and I wasn’t even sure that i was able to talk to anyone else. They seemed normal enough but I wasn’t sure. There was something weird about how the Capitol punished their criminals. Sometimes it made me sick to even think about what they did but I just ignored it. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me, I didn’t bother putting my clothes on yet as my hair wasn’t dry and it would just get my shirt wet. I walked out into my bedroom and turned the corner and almost dropped my towel. Eliah was standing at the window looking out of it and when he heard my “Eeep.” He turned around and his golden eyes widened a bit.

I wasn’t completely embarrassed. I was perfectly content with how my body looked like, but there was something different with Eliah seeing me naked and Russold seeing me naked. I mean, Russ and I had been friends since we were seven, so this was just plain awkward. “Uh, hey Eliah.” I said quietly, tightening the towel, reassuring myself that it was still there.

He raised an eyebrow, his golden eyes raking my towel clad body, but he didn’t comment on them. “I was just wondering if you were coming to breakfast.” He said just as quietly as me.

I nodded, “Um, just not right now. I think the whole 'I'm in a towel' thing complicates the situation.”
