I think, this might be the second to last chapter of the games :) I hope it's been alright for you. Now go, read!
I heave myself up, carrying our two Antarctica backpacks and Auburn carrying our England and Africa backpacks.
"Let's go." I say, walking out of the igloo. Everything seemed calm and peaceful, because there would be a feast soon.
"It's actually a quiet afternoon compared to the other days." I say, looking over to Auburn. She just stands there, picking her nails.
"Why do I feel like I'm going to die today." She mumbles.
When she said that, my heart broke. I knew she was, and even if a tribute didn't, a mutt or something the game makers designed will kill her.
"No, no you won't." I say quietly, reassuring her. She looks at me. Then, her attitude and voice changes.
"How do you know Hannalise, It might be you who dies." She threats, stroking her knife in her pocket. I look down alarmed, and take off with Auburn a matter of seconds behind me. We both run, with me in the lead.
"I saw your note!" She screams, throwing her knife, and I neatly dodge it, so it lands in a nearby ice block. "How dare Jenna say that?"
I don't listen; I just sprint and hope someone takes her out whilst I'm running. She is no way in the alliance with me anymore.
"Our alliance is over!" I shout, throwing a small ice block at her. It hits her in the face and slows her down. It gives me valuable time to go ahead.
She stumbles once again, flying flat on to her face, resulting in a nose bleed.
"Hannalise!" she screams in anger.
"What's got into you?" I shout back.
"I've just realized that you can trust NOBODY!" She raises her voice on nobody. I feel a pang of guilt, but I dismiss it quickly.
"Well I'm in the Hunger Games, and there is one victor!" I pause, and continue. "And that's not going to be you!"
She growls and throws and knife, and it lands in my wrist. I scream in agony, rip it out and throw it back, and it lands in her leg.
I wrap my sleeve around my heavily bleeding wrist and dash forward. The ice blocks are starting to die down and palm trees are starting to come up, so instead of going forward, I turn to the side and head for the cornucopia. The sharp turn leaves Auburn crashing into a tree that had come out of nowhere. I squint my eyes and I can see the gleaming cornucopia, set with a table with 6 buttons on it. One for each tribute. I look behind to see Auburn closing in, so I set my sights on the table and run into the clearing, panting but carrying on. I sprint for 60 metres until I arrive at the table, scanning for my button. I press mine and dash off, but suddenly I hear metal against metal, and a high pitched scream. I whiz around to find Splinter, the male tribute for 7, on top of Auburn, who is clanging her knife against the cornucopia. Part of me tells me to run for her, but the other tells me to grab something on offer and go. I edge backwards without being noticed, not wanting to see Auburn's death scene, and I grab some cut ointment so I can heal my cut back together, and a grey backpack as Auburn has ours, but there were no golden one's, so I just head back in the opposite direction, over to England, but scurry up a tree and watch.
"So, little girl, where is your ally then?" Splinter spits in her face, and laughs at how Auburn squeals under his firm hold.
"She's not my ally anymore!" she scowls and slices her knife across his face. Splinter clutches his cheek and spits blood at her.
"Let's get started then." He smirks, cutting up her lip, and then moves along down to her throat, and in a quick movement, slits it.
The cannon booms and he stands up proud, but topples over with an arrow in his back. The second cannon booms, as the careers had arrived.
"NO, no, no, no!" I panic, trying to get down but fall and land with a loud thump.
"What was that?" Tucker asks, as he goes to press his button. All of the other careers shrug and walk towards their button. I make a decision I could regret, and dash out, throwing a knife at Mariah who falls limp to the ground.
As I didn't get far out, I go back to where I came from but go deeper, hoping to find England. I hear Tucker cry over Mariah's death. They obviously were close. I trip over something, and I sit up to find a mace.
"A mace!" I whisper, clutching it in my hands. My other one I left in Antarctica, so I only had knives to work with. "I really should of gone back and stole some of Auburn's weapons." I moan. Then, that gave me an idea. Apparently, they won't collect the bodies until the killer or other tribute are of the scene, so I run back to find the hovercraft picking up Splinter, with Mariah and Auburn still on the floor. Sprinting, I see the knife in her hand, so I prise it from her grip, and take the other 2 in her belt. The hovercraft freezes, and I take that as a notice to dash out of the clearing and run to England. The continents are quite close to the Cornucopia, so I eventually get to England, to find it very different to what I hoped. There were tall buildings, obviously for tributes to sleep in, and parks with trees and bushes.
"Whoa." I say, walking through the empty place. I arrive at a building and I walk in, to find a whole apartment. A TV, sofas, bedroom and bathroom. I squeal, spinning around, and crash onto a sofa. "This is the best place ever!" I laugh, switching on the TV. Caesar Flickerman comes on, doing his daily report.
"Welcome, to the daily report. In the Hunger Games, Auburn from District 10 has figured out what Hannalise note meant, and has had a dramatic showdown with her, whilst running to the cornucopia. Hannalise received a minor injury in her wrist, and Auburn received a cut on her leg. At the cornucopia, Hannalise safely pressed her button and ran away, but Auburn got tackled by Splinter, and was killed on the spot. Splinter was shortly killed after by Mariah, and Mariah killed by Hannalise. There is now 3 tributes left, and we have been informed that the Careers have split up. This is now the final time to put your bets in, as the games will be finishing shortly. Goodnight, and have a lovely evening."
I sit there astonished. There are 3 of us left, I wonder if Piper and Freya have been interviewed. So there is only Carlos, Tucker and I left. They are the careers, but I have been doing alright so far. The odds could be in my favour.
"I could be going home." I whisper.
OMG! What a chapter. Auburn, Splinter and Mariah dead. :( keep reading and reviewing! Hey, and a shout out to my best friend, Gracec720!
