Hector POV,
My eyes drowsily open to a...a seriously beautiful girl...am I dreaming?! She is gorgeous! She has blond hair and icy blue eyes. About my age. Her cheeks are rosy, but she looks worried. Her hair is in pigtails, but for some reason, she doesn't even look younger.
"Am I dead?" I ask.
"Ah!" She screams, backing away. "You're alive!"
"Hey! Don't be scared! I am?" I ask. I remember her now. She's the girl from District Eight.
"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I already...I already lost somebody" The girl says.
"I won't hurt you! I lost somebody too" I say. The girl sniffles.
"I'm Colleen" She says.
"I'm Hector" I say. Colleen turns away, and I think she starts to cry. Jeez, I have no idea how to deal with crying girls!
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND! SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND AND NOW SHE'S GONE!" Colleen scream/cries.
"You'll be okay..." I say, Colleen turns around and look at me. I don't know what to do, so I hug her. Colleen starts to cry against my shoulder. I don't know what to do exactly, so I pat her back, awkwardly. Colleen pulls away, wiping tears off her face.
"I'm sorry! I know it's stressful to wake up to a crying girl, whining and crying. I'm just sad, and apparently pathetic..."
"You're not pathetic, you're sad. I understand. My district partner died three days ago, and I was a wreck, even worse then you are now. You have every right to be sad" I say, not meeting her eye.
Colleen gives out a laugh and more tears escape her eyes. "Thank you. I don't even know you, but thank you. Allies?"
I look at her hand and think. What could go wrong? But what about Katie? What will she think? But Colleen...I don't know. Maybe they won't mind if I add one more ally to our group?
"Allies" I say, shaking her hand. Colleen smiles, and her tears slowly speed down. Her smile is almost like...enchanting! We look up hearing a ding, ding, ding! Two pitchers of water fall onto our laps. Colleen starts to jug it quickly.
"Sorry, I haven't had anything to drink in days!" Colleen says.
"Me neither" I say, starting to do the same as Colleen. A grin curls up on Colleen's lips, and I have a feeling that we're going to be friends!
Zanther POV
My arm is starting to get infected. I don't think sponsors will buy me medicine. If they were, they already would have. I can't believe I got myself into this! Mizuki must be terrified, because I'm pretty sure I'm dying. Elizabeth is quiet. She's scared for my death.
"Don't worry, Zan, they'll send it" Elizabeth whispers, silently crying, just a small bit.
"They aren't going to. I'm...I'm going to..."
"No you aren't!" Elizabeth whispers.
"But if I do..."
"You won't!" Elizabeth says, raising her voice. I sigh and shut my eyes. "You can't."
"What?" I ask.
"I can't let you die, Zan. Okay! There! I've said it!" Elizabeth says.
"Why is that a bad thing?" I ask. She whimpers. "Elizabeth!"
"Because...because I care about you" She says.
"I care about you too but...oh! Oh!" I say, shocked. "I...I care about you, too."
Elizabeth smiles. "You aren't going to die, okay?"
"Okay" I say. And despite the fact that my arm is torn to the bone and infected, I think that I'm happy.
Marc POV
I feel bad about leaving Colleen, but I wasn't planning on Allies in the first place. Well, maybe a few. I saved Lulu because she looked so young, and I didn't want her to be terrified when she died. And now that she has died...I don't want to think about that, it's still playing in my head.I haven't taken anything but a few pieces of Beef Jerky, but I won't steal anymore...or at least from Colleen. She's suffering to much. Just like Alana...my brain goes fuzzy. Jeez! I seriously need to stop thinking about it! I take a bite of the Beef Jerky. I don't want to think about anything anymore!
Katie POV
"HELP ME!" I scream. The Careers are hurting me! I may even call it torture! They've taken me behind the Cornucopia. Nox was protecting Lainee. I don't blame him, I know that he cares about her more. They cut across my left eye. I scream. I sob. I don't even care anymore! I'm going to die, and it's going to be even more painful then I thought...and Nox isn't going to help me! And Hector doesn't even know what's happening to me. And Lainee hates me. I'm going to die tonight, because they've tortured me. I don't like to think it, but I know Nox isn't going to save me. He cares about keeping Lainee safe. He doesn't care about me as much as her!
"Get you're hands off of her!" I hear a sob. I turn my head. I realize that I'm blind in my lkeft eye, now. Through my right eye, I see a girl. Oh my god! It's Lainee!
"Hello sweetie!" Dawn sneers.
"Go away, Lainee!" I sob, the words barely make it out.
"No!" Lainee cries. She runs at the Careers. What the heck?! NO!
"No!" I scream. Lainee slashes Dawn's right eye and bates Sisco with her hand. Both Dawn and Sisco are distracted. I jump up and grab a weapon from the Cornucopia. It is a spear, and I'm barely used to it, but I have to live with it. Bloods drips down my body, onto the kitchen floor, but I have to fight. Right now, not only am I respouncable for my life, but also Lainee's. And I know, Nox would never forgive me if I let her die. The more I fight, the weaker I become. I end up punching Sisco straight in the face, then both me and Lainee running. I start to trip.
"KATIE!" Lainee screams, as I fall down a flight of stairs. Each bumps bring more and more pain. I start to cry like I've never cried before. I've been through so much pain today. Now I'm falling to my death. Nox isn't going to help me, and Lainee can't. She's to small.
Maria Therese POV
Both Shayde and I find it hilarious. Yesterday, when we went to the Cornucopia to steal, no one was there! Isn't that funny? So now, we have so many supplies! We seriously have so much, we could live off of just this! It's fantastic! I take a bite out of a chicken wing, that was in a container. It tastes amazing, and so much better then dead mice, rats, racoons, and any other forest animal found in a castle. Shayde is having a field day. I mean, seriously. I've never seen anyone this happy, and we're in the freaking Hunger Games.
"Look how long this bow is!" Shayde says, sounding almost stoned. "Look how pretty these arrows are!"
I laugh, and don't say anything. It's seriously not in my nature to talk a lot. But I seriously want to leave this Tower. It's to boring and there's nothing to do! I want adventure! I want something more then just sitting around. I mean, I have a lot to eat, and more then enough weapons, but it is also not in my nature to have no adventure. I seriously need it, and love it.
"Lets leave" I whisper.
"Where?" Shayde asks, still looking mesmerized my a sword.
"Just somewhere" I say. Shayde sits up, and nods.
Shayde packs a ridiculously large amount of weapons, which makes me rolls my eyes. I have no clue why he needs so many! I pack tons and tons of food, a few matches, a sewing set, and some cloth and put it all in my satchel. I also gotta say, I love the way my dress feels now. I can actually move! I'm seriously glad about that! I look at Shayde, he nods, and he climb down the stairs.
Saun POV
Tanita is alone! She is crying, though. I don't know why. I have a pretty thing that goes around my waist with my shinnies and some yummy cream and big long things that was paper that I put around my arm that's colored red. Tanita is very, very pretty. Just like my sister! I've been watching Tanita all day! She is sad, though she should be happy because that mean, mean girl from District One is dead. I'm gonna talk to Tanita. I walk out.
"Hi!" I say. Tanita turns. Her beautiful eyes are so beautiful! I mean, beautiful!
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Tanita screams. Why is she being to mean?
"But...why?" I ask.
"Just leave, idiot, I can't deal with you now!" Tanita cries.
"But Tanita, I love you..." I say.
"I don't care! I seriously don't care! You were trying to kill Glace since the beginning!" Tanita says.
"But Glace took my shiny!" I say. "And you don't love me?"
"NO!" Tanita screams.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because, I love Glace! I love Glace so much!" Tanita cries.
"Glace?" I ask.
"Yes, Glace!" Tanita says.
"But...I love you!" I say.
"I don't carte. I can't care right now. You can feel whatever you want about me, but I will never feel the same about you. I will never feel the same about anyone. I love Glace. I love her so much, and now I can never be with her. So leave. Leave Saun, because there is no way in hell I could ever love you" Tanita says.
"But..." I say.
""No buts, I don't love you, and I never will. And it's not just you, it's anyone in general" Tanita says.
"Good-goodbye then, lovely" I say. I turn away, and I know that I'll never return, because I can't.
Nox POV
"It's all my fault, Nox! Katie might be getting tortured right now!" Lainee sobs. She is so upset. I don't know what to do. I'm just hugging her. Lainee almost never cries, she is very prideful, but I think she's more upset that it effects me more then her. I don't hate her at all, and I still want her to win. Lainee has been crying for hours. She says she threw a portrait over her and ran. I don't know what to do. I'm never letting Lainee go back to the Cornucopia, but I need someone to go save Katie. I really care about her. But I need to protect Lainee. Katie knows that she's my first priority. Katie respects that.
"It's all my fault!" Lainee sobs.
"No it wasn't. You did the right thing. But never sneak off again, okay? I don't want you to die" I say.
"But what if Katie is dying?!" Lainee says.
"I don't know. Katie's a smart girl, she might even find her way back" I say. Lainee cries harder and I just hold her. It isn't her fault. It will never be her fault, ever.
