It's a matter of life or death

by rosebud171

Mordecai and Rigby are picked to play in The Hunger Games to represent the City and little to them, District 12. They have to train to fight to the death with the help of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, winners of District 12. This time this isn't Benson yelling at them to get back to work,it's personal and serious.

10. Deep in the meadow

Mordecai found Neal struggling in a net to get free. "Don't worry dude, I'll get you out of here". Mordecai said cutting the net open. "Thank you Mordecai". Neal said happy. "You're welcome now come on lets go". Mordecai said. But Thomas one of the Career tributes fired a bow and arrow at Mordecai. "Mordecai look out"! Neal yelled. Mordecai fired his bow and arrow and it hit Thomas in the throat, Mordecai dodged the arrow but sadly Neal didn't. "NO"! Mordecai yelled.

The arrow was deep in Neal's stomach. "No Neal"! He said. Neal began to fall but Mordecai caught him and placed his head on his lap. "Neal I'm so, so sorry". Mordecai said crying. "You have to win this". Neal said weekly. "Don't worry I will and try, I even blew up the Career's food". Mordecai said. "You blew up the food"? Neal asked. "Yeah every last bit of it". Mordecai said crying.

"Please don't go". He said. "Never". Mordecai said. "I have one last request". He said week. "What's that"? Mordecai asked. "Sing to me please". Neal said. Mordecai knows one song he remembers as a kid his mom would sing to him when he goes to sleep. Mordecai cleared his throat and began to sing.

Mordecai:

Deep in the meadow under the willow a bed of grass a soft green pillow. Lay down your head and close your eyes and when they open the sun will rise. Here's it's safe and here it's warm and here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.

Neal laid there all glassy eyed Mordecai closed Neal's eyes with his fingers, he leaned down and kissed Neal's forehead. Everything was quiet but Mordecai had to finish for Neal.

Mordecai:

Deep in the meadow hidden far away. A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray. Forget your woes and let your troubles lay and when again it's morning they'll wash away. Here it's safe and here it's warm, here the daisies guard you from every harm. And here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.

Mordecai:

Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Here is the place where I love you. Deep in the meadow hidden far away. A cloak of leaves a moon beam ray. Forget your woes and let your troubles lay. And when again it's morning they'll wash away. Here it's safe and here it's warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. And here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.

Mordecai:

Here is the place where I love you. Mordecai sang he couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He cried so hard but he took out the arrow from Neal's stomach. He got flowers to cover that bloody ugly scar on his stomach. He heard the hover craft of the Peace Keepers he had to leave. "Bye Neal, please be safe". Mordecai said leaving.

Mordecai whipped his tears and watched as Neal's body went into the hover craft. Mordecai turned and did the three finger solute to District 1. In District 1 Neal's parent and baby sister were heartbroken knowing they'll never see they're son ever again. Everyone did the solute back to Mordecai. Neal's father decided to cause a riot because he's has had it with Peace Keepers. Taking their children away from them to fight and hurt other children so that can live. Everyone in District 1 threw a riot about Neal.

The Peace Keepers are trying to get the citizens under control. Back with Mordecai in the games, in the night sky he saw Thomas and Neal in the sky. Mordecai was in a tree to sleep for the night. Mordecai realized how cruel the Capital was making children and teenagers fight to the death so one can out alive. There's only 5 tributes left what to do now? Mordecai silently cried himself to sleep. The next morning he opened his eyes and looked up for a Tracker Jacker nest, nothing then looked down nothing still.

Mordecai climbed down the tree he was so pissed at the Capital once this was done and over with, he wanted to make them pay for what happened to Neal. He was only a child he was young and innocent, Neal didn't deserve to die so young. Something in Mordecai snapped something big. Mordecai couldn't bottle his anger anymore he let it out and yelled.

"IS THIS WHAT YOU DO EVERY YEAR HUH? TAKE INNOCENT LIVES FROM LOVED ONES? HE'S 12! 12 YOU HEARTLESS MONSTERS"! He screamed at the top of his lungs. At this point Mordecai didn't care if he died or not or if he got laryngitis and couldn't speak anymore. His right ear is screwed up it wouldn't matter. Mordecai got out a white long bandage and tied it around his head. Then he heard out his good ear a message from Claudius Templesmith.

"Attention to the 5 remaining districts only two tributes can live if only from the same district. Just like in The 74th Annual Hunger Games, that is all for now". Claudius Templesmith said. Then everything went silent again. "Two huh"? Mordecai asked himself. Then he heard a voice call his name. "Mordecai"? The voice asked. It sounded really familiar but it sounded raspy and dry like sand in the Gobi Desert.

End of this chapter. Not gonna lie I actually did cry while writing this chapter. If this made you cry sorry but more will be coming.
