Hunger Game- 74th Arena
sixty- thirty- ten- five- three-two-one,
our innocence gone.
the bloodbath starts,
i flee- run- dart.
backpack and knife in hand,
seeing people killed offhand.
no water in the flask,
I'm not sure if i can finish this task.
to go back home- where family wait,
my quickened heart rate,
running into foxface,
i chose not to chase.
deeper into the forest i run,
thats when the fire balls begun,
left- right- avoiding the flames,
running, running, playing their games.
my leg oh how it burns,
into the lake i turn.
no no hide,
me and the career pack collide.
hes with them- very sly,
i run- climb- looking down i sigh.
they cant get me up here,
wishing this pain would disappear.
shes in the trees,
pointing to the bees.
trackerjackers,
mind hackers.
cutting the branch and watching it fall,
stinging them all.
run run he said,
there coming coming, i fled.
its all a shiny blur,
i begin the stir.
Rue,
at the sight of food her eyes grew.
we have a plan,
full steam ahead we began.
all food and goods gone,
her cries push me on.
under the net- trapped,
with my knife it snapped.
he came with a spear,
her gasp all i hear.
my arrow lodges in his throat,
in, out of consciousness she floats.
sing to me she whispered,
I sang as she shivered.
gone, slipped away, now pain free.
collecting flowers,
laying them around to empower.
Two from the same district,
I ran to find him in a instant.
Covered in rock- camouflaged,
His leg cut by careers- sabotaged
Blood poison,
Time frozen.
Kissing him dearly,
The games over nearly.
I get his medicine,
He's a true gentleman.
Mutts they come,
To safety we run.
Three of us left,
One more to get.
Cato was there,
Grabbing peeta out of nowhere.
Strangling him- laughing- crying,
Peeta gave up trying.
My arrow gone- released,
Last but not least.
He falls, ripped apart by mutts,
We keep out eyes shut.
But wait no,
Apparently one has to go.
Berries in my pocket,
The ticket to the cockpit.
I say on three-two-one,
And the voice comes on.
Screaming no.
We both dropped the berries in tow.
The voice speaks again and announces,
'The 74th annual victors, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.'
