And here comes the fight between the Girl On Fire versus the Girl Who Spontaneously Catches On Fire!
Katniss fired an arrow at the burning body before running. Wisty dodged and chased after her. She shot a few fireballs at the girl, but soon realized that Katniss was too quick to be hit. Katniss climbed a nearby tree, which wasn't hard to find since they were in the middle of a forest. Wisty almost lit up the tree, but then she realized that a forest fire may not work to her advantage. She extinguished the flames and climbed up the tree after her opponent.
When Katniss reached the top, she unexpectedly let go and slammed her bow against Wisty's head. Wisty let go for a second, crying in pain, but quickly grabbed on again. She looked around for Katniss and saw her jumping from tree to tree. Wisty jumped down and disappeared, turning invisible so that she could sneak up on Katniss.
The Girl on Fire looked behind her, but didn't see her opponent. Taking that as a good sign, she stopped to catch her breath, sliding down from the tree. She leaned against it, breathing hard and glancing around nervously.
Suddenly, something hit her in the gut, feeling like a boot. She stumbled forward and got smacked in the back of the head. Something grabbed her, spun her around and slammed her against a tree.
Wisty appeared behind her, smiling, and lit up her fist with a small flame. She was planning on lighting Katniss' hair on fire, just to scare her and make her back down. She pushed her hand forward and Katniss ducked and rolled backward. Wisty stopped her hand, but it was too late. The fire had licked the tree.
Katniss heard the crackle and flames on the tree, and realized that it would be a lot harder to survive now that the tree was on fire. She wished someone were here to help her, but knew no one was coming. She had to end this quickly.
Wisty kicked out and knocked Katniss on her back. She grunted, but got up quickly and shot an arrow at Wisty. The arrow stuck in her hand. She cried out in pain as Katniss pushed her against the fire tree. It didn't do much to her, but gave Katniss a little breathing room for now. She backed up quickly and as soon as Wisty walked out of the flames, Katniss shot her arrow.
It hit Wisty in the gut. She crumpled down and writhed in agony. Katniss immediately felt guilty, but thought about her time in the Hunger Games and convinced herself that President Snow had sent her, that she was a Capitol toy.
"I'm sorry," she said to Wisty, who was slowly becoming stiller and stiller. Katniss walked away, trying not to look at the dying girl.
As she was leaving the woods, Katniss ran into Gale by the gate. "Hey, Catnip," he said, using the name he had thought she said when they first met. "Where are you going?"
"There was a forest fire," she said, but she didn't tell Gale about Wisty. She wasn't sure if she would tell anyone about that.
Sorry this one was a short one. I've had a lot of homework the past couple of weeks. Also, new chapters will now be posted every Wednesday, like this:
First week: Meeting chapter
Second week: Fight chapter
Third Week: Win chapter
The "Who will win?" poll will now stay up for one week and five days, and the "Who should fight next?" poll will be up for just five days. Speaking of which, it goes down on Monday!
