Hunger games part 14

We moved on until dawn with no disturbance and then we hit the cornucopia...

Their was stuff everywhere on the empty starting fields.

No corpses at least.

"What now?" She asked quietly.

"We wait." I said shortly and settled down at the edge of the clearing.

We didn't have to wait long before someone came out to the first light if dawn.

It was the hippy dude from that group if three I saw with grey in the cave.

He looked back nervously at a small shelter we hadn't seen and moved to the edge of the clearing.

He looked back again and fondled the hilt if his short sword.

"What is he so ner-" I cut off in mid sentence as that girl from the second district walked out with only a blanket on and the big guy with the great sword.

"Crap..." I whispered and shrank away from the edge, out of view from a casual glance.

Ellen did the same, looking worried.

"We can't fight all of them..."

"We shouldn't need to, look" I said pointing.

He hippy was moving farther away to the clearings edge.

"Hey!" The big guy barked at him "where you going?"

That seemed to be the last straw as he ran.

The girl quirked an eyebrow at him and he sighed, walking back to the tent.

He came out with a jacket and his sword.

He grumbled something that I couldn't make out to the girl and she laughed.

Then he was off, at a casual pace towards where the hippy had disappeared into the brush.

I winced, feeling bad for what was coming for him then focused on the task at hand.

"She's alone and unarmed for the moment." Ellen said "it's your call, do we go for the kill?"

I nodded slowly, watching our target turn with a sigh.

I glanced at Ellen, seeing her stringing her bow.

She looked up and nodded.

I stood up quietly, loosening my knives in their sheaths.

I shuffled as quietly as I could but my leg was killing my.

I but my lip and kept on.

100 ft
70ft
50ft...
20ft...

She turned in surprise as she heard me running at her as an arrow whistled over my shoulder at her.

Her eyes widened and she jumped to the side.

She dropped the blanket, as another arrow hit the ground by her head.

I was 3ft away when I lunged at her with a knife.

She rolled, brining the blanket up in my face.

I thrashed as I felt it pull off and got a brief glimpse of her almost named body before she was behind me, coiling the blanket around my neck.

Like an idiot I dropped my knife and clutched at my throat.

I head Ellen swear briefly and fell on my face in agonizing pain as 2 body's fell on me, grunting agains my injured hip.

Then he weight was off me, I heard struggling beside me and struggled upward.

Ellen was i top of the other girl , struggling over the knife I dropped.

I lurched forward, drawing another knife.

The other girl was on top now, holding the blanket over Ellen's face.

I drove it down as hard as I could into her exposed back.

I felt her shudder and look at me in compleat surprise.

I looked down at her, into her eyes and saw a mixture of emotions.

Hate, surprise, pain, but something else to.

Satisfaction.

I looked down in surprise to see her bloody hand holding a dagger.

She smiled grimly and said "game over"

I looked at Ellen's small struggling body in horror as a red stain started to spread over her stomach.

I fell on the ground by her side, pale.

I pulled the cover off her face and immediately pushed it down onto her wound.

"No no no!"

I looked at her face, seeing how pale it was again.

She smiled weekly at me.

2 cannons went off and it was over.

They were both gone.
