Death Blow
~FIRST~
DISTRICT 12 BOY
The gong rings out and I dash to the Cornucopia, I grab the first thing I see, a dagger. While I am running away from the battle I feel a searing pain in my right calf, I look down to see an arrow sticking out of my leg. When I turn to see how my attacker was I see the girl from district four running at me with a spear in her hand. I turn and sprint as fast as I can away. But I guess I wasn't fast enough. The girl trips me and I sprawl to the ground. When I roll over her spear impales me in the chest. I fell my blood begin to pour out of my body. All I can think is why would somebody be so evil? Why would they kill? Why? Why? Why? I have to ask before I die. The girl is walking away humming some tune. It's now or never (literally).
"Why?" I croak out. The girl stops in her tracks and turns around.
"What did you say?" She retorts rather angrily.
"Why," I reply only to stop to cough out some of my blood "did you stab me?"
"To win, I'm here like all the other tributes if I didn't kill you now what would have stopped you from killing me later?"
"I wouldn't kill," I start to choke on the blood in my mouth, the girl runs over and rolls me on to my side. I spit out the blood and start to whimper "I wouldn't have won anyways, one of you will." The girl kneels next to me and starts stroking my hair. She starts humming a soft tune that reminds me of a song my mother used to sing to me.
"What's your name?" she asks me in a soft whisper.
"Dallas" Is all I can say. I can feel my life draining away fast.
"I'm sincerely sorry Dallas for what I have done, I hope you will forgive me"
"I," More coughing and spitting "do. Wha- what's your name?"
"Paprika."
"Paprika, can, can you sing me that song you were humming?" she takes in a deep breath then speaks.
"Okay, here it goes. Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight" as she sings I can feel my essence leaving my body.
"In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here" I start crying knowing my time is up.
"So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees" I look up at her and see she has tears in her eyes.
"In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here" My breath quickens, I have very little blood left.
"You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here" My heart is beating so fast it feels like it might explode. Paprika is staring at me with tears in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Dallas" I guess some of the careers do have hearts. Paprika does. When I close my eyes I can see home. District Twelve I wish you were closer. I feel cold. Paprika takes my hand and kisses it. I only need one last breat-.
IF YOU GUYS ARE WONDERING WHAT THE SONG IS IT'S CALLED IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL.
