[she was ready. she was ready for this, to fight. when she was lowered to the starting point, she took in her surroundings. the people, the trees, what she wanted in the 'gifts' that they presented. the gifts that all of them had to fight over. babydoll knew what she had to do. taking a breath, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the obstacles, the people she had to avoid became soldiers, ready to aim and fire. 

so she ran. she ran towards her goal. she dodged whatever bullets that came her way easily, slipping between and beneath each soldier that dared get in her way. when she did arrive to the sword that had stuck out to her, something, someone, surprised her. they were hiding behind one of the crates. startled, she acted quickly and slashed her sword through that soldier. she didn't bother looking at it. it was mechanical. it wasn't a person anymore. at least, that's what she wanted to believe. once she grabbed the pack she needed she bolted. she didn't have to be there anymore. she had to find safety. 

but her mission was complete. she found it. she obtained everything she needed. so off she was, into the forest, into the world that she had to survive in. a blink later, and things were normal, but still slightly different. behind her, a dead teenager lay behind the crates. she didn't want to believe she had to kill people. kill living beings. it wasn't in her to do it, but it was in her head. she could control whatever reality she had in her mind. this was the reality that she had to feed herself. it was necessary, but she needed a team. people to help her. once she was far enough away from the forest opening, she stopped to breathe, and maybe find a few people that had already run off. 

she had all her weapons. now all she had to do was fight.]
