The Hunger Games Feat. Mitch, Jerome, and More

DISCLAIMER

I do not own neither the Hunger Games, nor any of the Minecraft YouTubers mentioned.

I hear someone, or something crashing through the trees. I reach out to grab an arrow, and Jerome already has his axe out, when I feel a knife penetrate my lower thigh. I fall to the ground, writhing in pain as Jerome lodges his axe in Ashley's skull.

The cannon fires, and Jerome says, "Let's leave. Let the hovercraft pick up the body."

I hear the pain in his voice, knowing that he felt bad to kill her. But I remind him that twenty-three of us will have to die, and he says, "I know. Lets just keep going."

I struggle to lift myself up off the ground, and when I do, a searing pain hits my leg. I drop like a rock, and this time Jerome doesn't try to help me. He grabs my backpack that I got at the Cornucopia, and rifles through it. He pulls out a first-aid kit, and wraps a bandage around my leg.

I finally stand up by myself when we hear a cannon fire. Seto is lifted from a group of trees, his right arm just barely hanging on to the rest of him. I wonder what could've happened, and start feeling sorry for him, when I remember: If I start feeling sorry for people, then I'll be a much easier target.

I instantly stop thinking about Seto, and keep my mind on the Games. When I've regained the strength to stand, I follow Jerome along a small stream. I take out a water bottle and add iodine to it. We make the agonizing thirty minutes worthwhile by killing three squirrels, two rabbits, and gathering a few different types of nuts.

"Should we make a fire? We have matches," asks Jerome.

I consider it for a while, and then shake my head. "We'd be caught before the sun sets. We should just wait until tomorrow. For now, lets check our packs."

Jerome also got a backpack, and it contained our only source of food for now. A loaf of bread from District 4. We split the bread, grabbed our water, and headed down a hill to a hidden rock enclosure.

"Lets stop here. We need to rest."

I don't disagree, since our long trek from the Cornucopia made us weary and less prepared for an enemy. I settle down at the mouth of the cave, suggesting taking the first watch. I want to see them. I want to see the faces of the dead. The anthem plays, and I see Ashley, Kermit, Sky, and Seto. That's it.

"Come on, Mitch. Get some sleep. I'll take the first watch."

I lie down on the hard rock floor, trying not to think about what will happen tomorrow.
