Okay, I didn't know my last story was so short. The format fanfiction puts it in makes it shorter than it really is. This story will be about the end of Haymitch's games. So, enjoy!
Swoosh! I heard as an arrow from the final competitor whizzed passed my head. It was me and one other girl in a fight to the death. I was unarmed, while she had a whole arsenal of weapons in her hands. The thing is,
I knew a trick she didn't. At the edges of the field, there were forcefields that objects could bounce off of. I was trying to lead her to the edge of the field where I could use that forcefield to my advantage. The problem was getting there. She could come up with all kinds of things. Axes, arrows, knives, spears, things I couldn't even name. She had the advantage there.
I was hurt bad, with bruises and cuts. My legs hurt from running all day, and I was starving. The only reason she even found be was because of one of the gamemakers elaborate tricks to get us together. As she threw a knife at me, I ducked, got on to my knees and picked up the knife. As I stood waiting off to the side, she was running towards me with a wicked looking 2 foot long hunting knife. How she got all that stuff, I don't really know. I stepped in front of her as she slashed the knife to her side. I kicked her back. She probably didn't know how fast I was, since we never talked during training. When I heard a crack and a high scream I knew she probably hit a rock on her hand and broke her hand, or worse, hopefully.
When she got up, I found out she could use both hands well. I lunged inside her stance and was able to get a good cut at her arm. "didn't see that coming, did you? And she snarled back. What I didn't see is that she had another knife in her pair of boots. "Ahhh! Oh my god help! Crap! I screamed as the knife pierced my stomach. I tugged it out and took off my shirt. I rolled it up and used it to put pressure on the cut. I could almost swear my intestines were hanging out, and it hurt like hell. As was running, I was screaming in pain. I saw a familiar land mark. One mile to go. I tried to keep my mind on the prize. Buckets full of money, all the food you could eat... Oh... That would be the life.
While I was drooling over that thought, she had caught up with me. She took off the coat she had on with all of her weapons, witch must of weighed a ton. That was probably the only reason she caught up with me. What to do now? My intestine were hanging out, I could barely walk, and I was starting to get thirsty. I took the knife I had and cut a small branch of a tree. On that branch was a nest of some thing that looked moderately dangerous, if you were a robot. I threw the branch at her and watched the bird-like animals throw her to the ground. That would hold her there long enough for me to get far enough ahead that I could mend my broken self.
I took off in the direction of the stream that I knew was near the forcefield. It took about 30 minutes, but when I got there, I stripped down and jumped straight into the cool water. It felt really good. Ok, cut cleaned. Now, the bandage. As I reached for my shirt, I noticed something. Something very bad.
I'm sorry about the wait to put this up, I've been distracted with school and other stuff. Review! This will be a 2 Chapter Story. Once I get 5 reviews, I will update it.
