Here is the next chapter ^^ there is only a few more left!
Sayde
I was looking everything, maybe this was why Zebra wasn't dead yet… well as far as I know she could have been, I just heard two cannon shots. Hopefully one of them wasn't for her.
I sighed and leaned against a tree taking a small rest. I had been at it all day ever since I left to go find her. I was hot and sweating also, it seemed the game makers had made the weather warm and humid. I unzipped my jacket and took it off wrapping it around my waist. If only I had some water…
I decided to take a break from finding Zebra and find some water instead, if I die of thirst I wouldn't be much help anyway. I walked around and then I noticed that the ground was becoming mushy and soggy, I must be by some water.
I kept walking in the mud until I saw it, it was a small pond. I smiled and walked over to it. I sunk down to my knees and splashed the cool pond water in my face before cupping my hands to drink some of it.
I suddenly stopped when I heard footsteps in the mud behind me. I reached for the dagger in my belt look quickly but the person spoke.
"Don't even think about it."
Cole
"Yeah that was a great idea!" I said sarcastically.
"Hey we killed one of them." Ashlyn replied.
"And one of our own got killed too, and you know what? Wash is probably mad as ever now!" I said. Fabien shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, maybe if he's mad he'll go and kill someone else off, that way we won't have to." He said. I didn't respond, I was thinking about something. There were only 10 of us left…
"I think we should split up" I finally said and they stared at me.
"When there's five left, otherwise we are going to have to kill each other."
Fabien sighed. "I've been thinking the same thing. Cause I mean I don't really want to kill you guys."
"Well then it's a deal, we end the alliance when there is only five."
Zebra
"Don't even think about it." I said staring at the girl bent down next to the pond. I knew what she was doing; she was trying to get a weapon. "Hand up, and turn around." I demanded and the girl nodded turning around. I lowered my weapon when I saw her. "Sayde"
Sayde sighed. "Zebra thank god! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
"You have?" I asked and she nodded.
"I'm amazed you've survived this long on your own. Most of us have made alliances, that's how we are alive." Sayde explained.
"I had an alliance…but they all kind…died." I admitted.
"Died? How!"
"Wash and Myla." I responded and she nodded.
"Oh yeah, we've had a run in with them."
"We?" I asked.
"Cole, Ashlyn, Grey, Fabien, Kyna-well not really, she kind betrayed us- and I." she explained.
"I could've told you Kyna was with them. I overheard them talking one day back in the Capitol." I said glancing at the sky, it was getting dark. "Come on, I'll show you where I sleep and we can talk."
Cole
We had made a decent camp; we were sleeping in a pile of large rocks that we had found. It was alright, at least for one night.
I was keeping watch on a pile of the rocks. I was standing off it looking around. Suddenly a cannon fire went off and I slipped off the rock in surprise.
"Ow…" I grumbled hitting the ground. I wondered who that cannon was. Hopefully not Kyna's, I climbed back onto the rock as I heard the anthem playing. Time to see who had died today, I would find out who's cannon that was.
After the song they showed pictures of Cooper, Song, Myla, Grey and then I just stared at the sky in disbelief.
Sayde
I sat back in the high branches of the tree with Zebra about to watch the pictures in the sky. We were both caught up on what happened. I then looked at the sky as they showed who died.
Cooper and Song were first, I knew they were already dead. Then it was Myla. That one was hard to believe, I guess she died somehow. Then I saw Grey's picture, I guess the two alliances clashed again.
"Oh look who it is…" Zebra said looking at the last picture. "Serves her right for betraying everyone"
I nodded looking at Kyna's photo.
Cole
I couldn't believe it. Kyna was dead...Gone forever. Even if she did betray us she was still my friend. We had been friends forever. I suddenly looked towards Ashlyn and Fabien who didn't seem to care.
"This is all your fault! You're the one who came up with the plan to kill the careers!" I said pointing at Fabien.
"Hey Cole, calm down!" he said and I shook my head and grabbed my sword.
"This alliance ends now, get your weapons and fight me or die unarmed."
Fabien opened his mouth to say something but his voice was lost as a new voice spoke in the sky. It was the game makers.
"Tributes! I have an announcement to make!"
