Warning: character death, and murder.
But really what did you expect if you're reading hunger games fanfiction.
Oh and if you haven't read/seen the movie, contains spoilers.
None of the following characters belong to myself, the plot isn't technically mine either. Just borrowing it and adding a different characters voice.
Enjoy.
Snap, I whip my head around to the sound of a twig breaking somewhere near me.
"Katnis?" I say quietly and uncertainly, "Katnis, is that you?" My eyes watch from left and right, not stopping as I get closer to the third giant pile of green leaves I am about to light on fire. I strain my ears harder. Maybe it was just a squirrel. Relaxing a little I continue to walk towards the pile.
I notice it a second to late, the careers have me surrounded, Cato smiles wickedly at me.
"Well, what do we have here?" He asks.
I panic and try to run, to climb a tree, but my feet are glued to the ground on which I stand. If I stand here any longer surely one of them will kill me. And it won't be a quick death, they will drag it out as long as possible, maybe cutting off finger after finger until I have none left.
The tears have started falling down my cheeks, I can hear myself sobbing.
Clove comes close to me with a net, she throws it over me and when I try and move the net gets tighter. I am trapped, now they really can do what they want.
"Where's Katnis," one of the careers ask, I can't tell who because the tears are coming thick and heavy now.
"I don't know," I say.
"We heard you ask if that was Katnis coming, now where is she?"
I can't answer I am sobbing to much at this point.
I hear them talking but I can't understand what they are saying, I am thinking about my family and how I will never get to have a meal with them again.
BOOM, BOOM BOOM.
Katnis has destroyed their supplies, I start to smile. One of the male tributes hits me across the face and I fall to the ground, everything goes black.
When I open my eyes everything is dark, and there is no sign of the other tributes.
Even though I am thankful to still be alive, I can't think of a reason as to why they would have left me alone.
After a while, I'm not sure how long, I can't keep my eyes open any more, and my eyes droop.
Mokingjays, I can hear them whistling our four notes. Katnis is near.
"KATNIS, KATNIS, help me Katnis," I yell as loud as I can.
"RUE!" Katnis yells back, as I see her emerging from the trees I figure out why they left me. I'm bait.
Katnis reaches my side and our fingers touch, that's when I see him emerge and throw his spear. Katnis has heard him and has sent an arrow through his heart before the spear has even pierced my chest.
Even though there is a spear in my chest, I can't feel any pain.
I take a deep shaking breath.
"You have to win," I say quietly.
"You're going to be fine, it's not that bad, you're going to be fine," Katnis stumbles over her words, trying not to let her voice crack.
I know that I'm not going to make it, but I'm glad that Katnis is here, "Can you sing?" I barely manage to whisper.
"Deep in the meadow, under the willow.
A bed of grass. A soft green pill-"
