Stay Strong Chapter Twelve
For the next three days we planned, ate, and slept. At night we all shared a sleeping bag together. You would think it would be crowded but it made me feel safe having them there to comfort me. During the days no one had died, so I knew we had to carryout the plan that day or there would be a game maker trap. We all walked together until we had to go separate ways. We went over the plan one last time and I kissed Peeta good-bye. "I love you." I mumbled into his shoulder.
"I love you to." He said and I took one last look at the two people I cared so much about and walked away. As they walked away I had the sinking feeling one of them would not be coming back. I walked through the woods, telling myself over and over what I was about to do. You're going to destroy the careers camp. You'll activate the land mines to do that. Rue and Peeta will make noise to draw the careers away from the camp. When that happens you'll use your knifes to somehow set them off. After that we'll hunt down the careers and kill them.
Once I had gotten to the camp I made sure no one was there and then got to work. My eye's darted around the camp until I saw a bag of apples. I threw one knife and it made a small hole in the bag. I took another knife and threw it to make the hole bigger. I looked over and saw Maria standing watching me. I mouthed, run, and she nodded and darted away. I took out the last knife and threw it.
It ripped a large hole in the bag and the apples pored out over the ground. I instinctively covered my hands over my ears as I was shot back by the explosion. Instantly I felt great pain in my legs. I looked down and saw that my left leg was hurt. I hazily looked around and crawled into the bushes. I praised myself for covering my ears because they seemed unharmed. If I hadn't done that I would have gone def.
I peered through the bushes and saw Cato, Clove, Marvel, and Jimmy come out. Cato's face turned bright red and he screamed looking at his supplies, well the ashes of them. Marvel and Clove kicked around trying to see if any of the supplies were left. Clove said something that seemed to calm Cato down a little but then he turned angry again. He turned on Jimmy and broke his neck. I should have felt sad that he died but I just felt hollow.
I looked at my leg and sighed. The bleeding had slowed down, but it still looked bad. I ripped off a piece of my shirt and tied it around my leg. I tried to get up, but it was useless, I wouldn't be able to get up until at least the next day. I sighed and just prayed Cato wouldn't find me. I was surprised to see the careers weren't hunting until I realized they probably thought that who ever set off the mines died. That night when the anthem played the only face that came up was Jimmy's. That means that the careers now know that who ever set off the mines is still alive. The hunt is on.
While in the bush I fell into a fitful sleep. I had dreams about Clove killing Rue, Marvel killing Peeta, and Cato torturing me. When I woke up my leg felt stiff, but I thought I could walk on it. When I got up sharp pain shot up my leg, but I definitely could walk. I grabbed my remaining knifes and tried to find one of my allies. I walked for hours until I heard a whistle. A whistle Rue taught us to show that we're all right. I looked up to see a Mockingjay whistling it.
I smiled and started to look for her. "Madge!" Rue screamed from somewhere in the distance. "Madge! Help!"
"Rue!" I screamed running in her direction. "I'm coming!" I knew this was a trap, but I didn't care, I needed to save Rue. I ran into a clearing and saw Rue's foot trapped in a bear trap. She didn't even have time to call out for me to help her because a knife entered her abdomen. She fell to the ground and curled up into the fetal position. I looked over and saw Clove standing there.
"Whoops! Was she you're allies with her? Wow, you've gone down hill." She sneered.
"Did you like my present? I'm sorry about you're pretty little supplies." I cooed. I tired to keep it together but I could feel tears in my eyes. Clove stopped with the toying and charged at me. I guess she thought I had no weapons because my knifes were hidden under my jacket. I took out my knife and stabbed her in the heart. She fell to the ground and her cannon sounded. That's the end of Clove. I turned to Rue and felt my heart drop. Her foot was a bloody mess but I could see the bone sticking out. Then I looked up. The knife must have hit something vital because there was blood everywhere.
"You blew up the supplies?" I kneeled down and nodded, not able to speak. "Good." She said quietly.
"It's going to be ok." I said through my tears.
"Don't lie to me." She snapped. "I'm going to die." She said, defeated. I couldn't fight with her; we both knew it was true.
"You know, my mother used to tell me what heaven is like."
"How would she know?" She mumbled.
"My aunt, Maisley Donner, visits her in dreams." Rue gripped my hand as I told her about heaven. "Everyone's heaven is different. Your heaven will be at your favorite place." I looked down at Rue, whose eyes were closed now but her chest was still moving up and down. More tears escaped my eyes as I went on. "There's no pain or sadness. Only happiness, and everyone you ever loved who died is there with you. It's amazing. There's no Hunger Games, no fighting, just happy. If only the world could have been like that for you Rue. Oh, Rue." I could tell Rue was still hanging by a thread to life. "Go there Rue, it's a wonderful place. I'll be ok. Tell Maisley I say hi."
"Win, Madge." Rue mumbled and then her cannon sounded. I started crying over her and kissed her. I knew I needed to clear out so the hovercraft could pick her up, but I couldn't. I couldn't leave her like that, an animal killed in these horrible games. I looked around and found them. A grove a rue flowers on the ground. They were in full bloom and seemed as delicate as Rue. I picked them up and walked back to Rue. I sat them down next to Rue and gave a weak smile.
"Rue, I'm sorry you didn't get to live the life you should have. But let me tell you this, for the rest of my life, I'll remember you. And I will win, for you Rue." I pressed my three middle fingers against my lips and held them out. "Good-bye Rue." I murmured and turned around. As I walked away I took one last look at her as the hovercraft carried her away.
Not going to lie...i cried while writing this, editing this, and reading this right now. I was playing licolon park while watching this...god. so sad!
I HATE THE CAPITAL.
Anyway, funny how the death of Clove was so quick eh? I was thinking "SOMETIMES THERE ISN'T ALWAYS THE BIG BATTLE" so yeah. Clove actually makes another apperance in this story..."HOW?" You ask...well you'll have to wait to find out...
Saddest chapter yet *but maybe not THE saddest chapter... :,(*
