Chapter 12- The Saviour
On her hunt, Nadya managed to catch a rabbit that we cook and eat. We figure out who was killed at the Cornucopia (The District 3 Female, The District 4 Tributes, The District 6 Tributes, The girl from 7, Both from District 10, the boy from 11 and the girl from 12). Then we figure out who has been killed since. The District 12 boy was killed shortly after the 'Bloodbath', presumably by the Careers and we had just killed Finn from 9.
"We need to take out the Careers," Nadya tells me "We get rid of them and we have a strong chance."
"Nadya, go on without me, I might get infected." I say.
"I know, Seph." Nadya tells me "The smart thing to do would be to leave you, just leave you to die. The right thing to do would be to stay here with you and hope a miracle happens and your arm magically heals."
"Do the smart thing." I say.
"I'd rather do the right thing." Nadya smiles at me.
We spend the day there, taking it in turns to sleep or keep watch. It gets dark and Nadya is sleeping on the ground next to me, her sleeping bag pulled around her. I'm sat in my sleeping bag, scanning the area. A small sound fills the small area, like windchimes singing. Then, a parachute falls to the ground, waking Nadya up.
"What is it?" She climbs out of the sleeping bag and crawls over to me. The note attached to the parachute reads 'Stay alive and good luck- T&O'.
"Trake and Olive," I whisper "They got us some sponsers."
I open the parachute and find some medicine and a small loaf of bread.
"They have medicine for cuts?" I ask.
"It's the Capitol," Nadya replies "They have medicine for everything."
I pull off my coat and Nadya helps me apply the medicine to the wound.
"Trake and Olive are amazing," she smiles "I think you were starting to get infected."
"I think they did too." I smile back.
There are stars in the sky now. I can't remember the last time I've seen stars. Nadya lies back on the ground with a sigh.
"You sleep," she says "Get some rest and when you wake up your shoulder will be good as new."
