Games master Sheldon looked over the contestants, gave a nod and said [color=ec008c]"well, you all seem ready to rumble, so, GO!"[/color] he disappeared out of their way Pakuna looked at her guild, gave them all a smile, and then confidently stepped up. The young woman stood, her long white hair blowing in the wind, her blue eyes intense as she studied those she would be competing against. When they were able to start, Pakuna entered the large walled structure. Within, there appeared to be an obstacle course of such, shaped into a maze. She thought that tis would be easy, but hesitated from starting. What was her greatest fear? She didn't know. The only thing she could think off was losing Harry. or never meeting Harry. She swallowed, shook her self, and started. She ran up the beginning, ducking under several logs, and over. She ran, jumped, and swung through the course, but as she kept on going, she began to doubt that she would ever find the way out, ever face her fear, ever do what she wanted to do.

Water Trailed down her reflection's face, body, as if she was...melting. [b]"You're nothing, you've always been nothing. You will always be nothing. You are worthless! No one has ever wanted you, no one ever will! You'll die as you lived, a scavenging thiief, scuttling from place to place, never making a mark"[/b] [color=c4df9b]"I have Harry"[/color] Pakuna whispered, her reflection just laughed. [b]"No, you've never had him"[/b] the image changed, shifting to that first day, the first time she had seen harry...
