Amdantis Part 3 I soon found out the answer to my question. We were not being kip-napped, we were being trained to race, like I said at the beginning. They train us, race us, bet on us, trade us, and get lot and lots of money off us. Id been with my trainer for a while now, still terribly missed my family, but I was getting use to living with Jasper (my trainer). My first race was on Saturday, it was only on Thursday that I found out! Saturday eventually rolled round and Jasper walked me over to the arena and then went to sit in the stalls. A kind looking man led me into the changing rooms and asked me who my trainer was "Jasper, Jasper Sopraties" I murmured. Allan (the kind looking man) nodded "just put on this kit and head out into the arena" he gestured to a changing room and with that left me. In 5 minutes it was time for the race to begin. My racing suit was a slushy greeny gray, yuk. Suddenly I heard the gun shot fire, I ran faster then I'd ever run before, the wind whistled in my ears as my feet pounded along the track, my heart was racing, the finish line was in sight, I was 3rd, I took a big breath and took a big leap forward, then bounced along like that, I was in 1st! I had won the race! From there it was straight home and more training though, Jasper had seen me win, and he wanted to build me a reputation. Jasper had a little dog called "Marc". I had to take Marc for walks, Marc didn't walk, he sprinted, and dogs are very very fast, so your body is forced to run faster so you don't loose the lead or fall of and scrape your face off... Next month I had a tournament, there were seven races, there 10 contestants, for each race if you came first you got 10 points, 2nd you got 9 and so on. The one with the most points at the end of the seven races won. The tournament finally arrived and it was back off to the stadium for now....... (sorry for short part, had lots of homework so not much time to go on Opuss, the next part will arrive by Tuesday but may be published before, happy reading- VerVer)
