Chapter 14
Ok Sup. Sorry Terrance Had A Problem Remembering The Story! He Had To Remember What's Going On Now. But Now He Knows So..Yay!
I looked around and Stag shook his head. Dammit! She got away again! I got up, red and furious. If I killed Addie…It would be the Feast! DAMN! I started raging as Stag stood there, watching the blood pour from the 6 boy's chest. He walk about 30 yards away and the kid was picked up. My shoulder was poked. "WHAT!?" I screamed. I realized it was only Stag. "Oh." I was thinking…I didn't want this to end up, like the 12 girl said in the 50th Games, just me and him. I would follow her example… And maybe Stag would die on his own. Without my fault.
I looked into his eyes. "We gotta split up," I said. I saw a rush of surprise fill his eyes.
"You mean…No team anymore?" I nodded. "In that case…" Stag raised his axe. I realized what was happening and ducked as he swung around. Obviously his axe was too heavy, because he had a hard time getting it back up. I stared at him, he stared back, and I disappeared into the forest.
I ran at a million kilometers, I thought. I pushed through the brush and branches and thorns. I turned. Stag wasn't there. What a screw. Let him die, I thought. Let him die like a little…Oh…I dunno… I trusted Stag! Why couldn't we just walk away? As I walked, I picked up a long stick to use as a guide.
About 12 hours later, I got up. I had rested a bit. It was really cold. I was thinking about who would be the best death. The 2 boy, I guessed, with his baby-like personality. Plus, he was only…What, 13? Then I came across something on the ground, soft and fleshy. I stepped back, and, in horror and amazement, I stared.
There lay the District 2 boy's body.
In a coma. I could get to the Feast now! First, I took off his bag. I restocked my bag with apples, grapes, and a handy roll of string and utility tape. Then, taking a deep breath, I sunk my knife into his neck. A moment passed and the cannon arrived. Feeling relieved, I sat on a rock next to his body. Man. The Gamemakers must've really liked me, because I had a load of stuff; knives, utility, food, a bow, even arrows. Yeah, they really liked me.
I heard the familiar trumpet. Only one thing: the announcement for the Feast. Most of the deaths would occur here; I'm guessing Addie would be one.
"Attention, attention, all tributes," it said. "At sunset today there will be a Feast. But no ordinary Feast." It paused, and I wondered. No ordinary? Hmm. It continued. "The explosives will be re-installed into the ground. Beware. This will be the only announcement." It hung up. The explosives? Back? NO!
See, it was hard to figure out where the explosives would be located. I pondered. Around the pedestals, probably. It was almost sunset. I ran to the tall grasses by the Cornucopia.
From here I could see one other unaware tribute- Stag. He was hiding under the water, like when the arena blew up. Silly kid. He'd definitely die.
I could see the ground shifting. Shifting. Up came a massive table with swords, packs, food, even the perfect crossbow for me. Perfect. Now, I just had to find out how to get across these.
