ok so thanks to all the reviews and guesses and the winners were... in first place ObsessedWithPeeta and second place AMRUE-and-CLOVE, but after I told them they were winners Some guessed spot on which no onw else did that person would be AngelRaziel who guessed 13. So you are all winners! YAY! Okay so this might not be my favorite chapter, I was just trying to get a chapter up. SO now on with the story!
As my eyes adjust to the sun I finally see the arena. In the middle of the giant sea is the cornucopia on a big island that is covered in jungles, and beaches. Out behind my is a small island that looks to be made out of ice. There are other islands all around the center island where the cornucopia is; one covered in a large desert, another covered in forests, and one that has a big black cloud you can't see through.
I can't be more than 20 yards away from the big island, but I don't think I can make it. I know Peeta can swim, because I taught him and Haymitch how to swim, when we found out we would be going back in to another arena.
I reach down and dipped my fingers in the water that had run over my plate, and bring my hand up to my lips. Saltwater. Can't drink that. I look around for Peeta but can't see him, he is probably on the other side of the semicircle of victors.
The gong sounds bringing me back, out of my thoughts. I stay still, not knowing if I should exert myself swimming all that way, or wait for help. As I watch the others I see Finnick has made it to the cornucopia just fine, then I see Peeta, to my surprise, make it there as well before the others victors. I see them talk and it looks like they are working together. After attempting to kill four victors, who I can't tell apart from here, I see they have killed one. Finnick and Peeta run over to the beach where I am still stuck. I see Peeta take of his weapons, two sets of bows and arrows and a couple of knives when Finnick stops him. The next thing I see is Finnick jumping in the water and swimming out to me.
"Would you like some help." He ask me holding out his hand.
"And why should I trust you?"
"Because if you don't you will die." He states plainly.
"Fine" I grumble and jump in. I don't like the idea of needing help from Finnick, but it looks like Peeta trust him, and he is also waiting for me on the beach. And with the aid of Finnick we make it to the beach relatively quickly.
"Hey, long time no see." Peeta says smiling down at me and giving me his hand to help me up.
"Hello to you too" I say grinning back at him, once I finally stand up. he leans in to kiss me. Then after a few seconds of that we hear a very fake cough and break apart.
"Have you seen whats in the cornucopia?" Peeta asks me.
"No" Peeta leads me over and when I see whats there I laugh.
For the most part the cornucopia is filled with baby items. There are blue and pink baby clothes, bottles and other random stuff, mixed with weapons.
"Looks like they are expecting to see a baby born." I say smiling at Peeta.
"Well if they are born we will come and get some things, but for now we should work on staying alive."
"I agree." We then make are way back over to Finnick.
"So," Finnick starts, "Where should we go?"
"Definitely not the desert, or the iceland." Peeta says.
"Well you know, if there is not fresh water on the other islands we could always melt the ice" I say.
"Why don't we stay on this island and move if we need to" Finnick cuts in, and we all agree. "Well I have to get Mags." He says nodding his head over to the old lady making her way to the beach. "Do you guys have an alliance with anyone else?" Peeta says no and I agree. We are interrupted by someone shouting at us.
"Don't forget about me brainless!" Johanna says to Finnick.
"Oh we didn't forget you." I mumble under my breathe, and can tell Peeta heard me. Johanna walks over followed by Seeder, and odd match I think but I have seen weirder. "Blight and Chaff were both killed so we got together and decided to ask if we could join you?" Seeder asks nicely.
"Of course you can join us." Peeta replies. Then Finnick goes to help Mags.
"Ready?" Finnick asks, as he comes back with Mags right next to him
"Ya lets go." Johanna says.
We take off going towards the center of the island. We all have weapons, me and Peeta both have two knives and a bow, Johanna has her ax, Seeder has a knife and spear, and Finnick has two tridents, and Mags has an awl. We walk in a semi straight line, with Johanna in front followed by Seeder then Peeta, then myself, then Mags and Finnick. After walking for a while we hear the cannon shots, signaling the end of the bloodbath.
"I counted 7" Seeder says, as the last cannon sounds.
Not as many as last year, but it seems to be more considering I know most of their names. We Decide to set up camp on top of a hill so we may be able to see enemies coming. After we are all settled down, the daily report of dead victors is projected in the sky; The male from district five, Blight, Woof, Cecelia, both from district nine, and Chaff. After the anthem ends, I am left thinking about all the time I spent talking with them, and now will never see them again. Johanna and Finnick take the first watch, so Peeta and I lay down with his arms wrapped around my waist.
"Goodnight sweetheart." he whisperers in my ear. I open my mouth to reply but am already falling into a deep sleep.
See? Not so good. There will be another one up later tonight or tomorrow, and I get 2 week for spring break so that means more chapter for you!
