Hey, guys, I know, I suck, I really should post more often, it is probably the shortest chapter I have aswell :P Well, what if I told you this was my third to last chapter? :D Two people die in this one- despite it being so short, I'm sorry :P They next two chapters will be better and longer! XD Um, yeah...here you go.
Leonis (District 2)
The anthem played and I waited for the announcement, there had already been one death today so I was interested in finding out what would happen.
"Tributes, we promised that we would do these battles until there were eight tributes remaining. Since then Griffin of District six has died, leaving nine tributes. Therefore there will only be one more battle and the people fighting that battle are...Leonis Ballantyne and Yvette Volt." I widened my eyes and glanced towards Yvette who was being held protectively by Jet.
Great, I had to kill the one person I trusted around here. Within minutes the ground beneath me cracked open and I fell through it alongside Yvette. When we hit the soft sand I looked around.
"You're going to kill me, aren't you?" Yvette said. I saw from the corner of my eye that she was taking her weapon from her belt. I turned around and drew my sword.
"I do not want to," I admitted. "But, I will have to and I am sorry," I said plainly. I ran my finger along the edge of the sword and blood dripped from my fingers.
"You're a great girl, you know? If I did not have to kill you I might have asked you out," I admitted. I was spilling the truth out to her. These were things I had to tell her. I sighed and looked away. "But I have to kill you; I always had to so I will." I leaped for her slashing my sword around. She saw me coming and sliced my side. I yelled in pain and pushed her down in the sand.
"I'm a victor, I will be victor," I spat and placed the knife over her neck. "Jet's going to kill me for this," I said in realization.
I sliced her neck and she let out a short cry in pain before her cannon sounded. I sat back panting and held my side. That is it, we entered the final eight. The games really had begun. When I got back, the games will end in a couple of days. In all honesty, I wanted them over now. I wanted to be crowned victor and bring pride to my district. Is that too much to ask for?
One glance at Yvette and I knew that it was.
A tear ran down my cheek and without hesitation I wiped it away knowing full well that I was on camers and I could not break.
I had to win.
Jet Charge (District 5)
The anthem played and I knew this was it, we would find out who was still alive from the three fights and who was now stronger than the rest of us in many ways. Yvette had to have won, she had to. But it was Leonis and he was stronger than her and as much as I did not want to- I feared the worse.
The anthem played and my head turned to the sky, there I saw my worst nightmare, the first face staring down at me was Yvette. I did not see the rest I could not bring myself to watch. I sat down and threw my head in my hands. I had to kill him! I had to kill Leonis whatever it took.
"Tributes, Congratulations for reaching the final eight. As you know the three surviving tributes will be put back into the arena in a few minutes. They will be dropped off in the maze; you are also welcomed to join them as the cornucopia is now refilled with weaponry and other items you may need to survive. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour."
I swallowed.
Leonis would be in that maze, and he would not be coming back out.
Terra (District 5)
I almost jumped for joy as I was already in the maze. I could get the stuff and leave before anyone even came here! I ran to the cornucopia and jumped for whatever I could get my hands on. I piled bags on my back until it was not possible for me to carry anymore.
"Sean!" I heard a voice call. I jumped in horror as I realised the three winners must have already been in there.
I swore mentally to myself and grabbed hold of my knife as I ran out of one exit. I ran as fast as I could around the maze looking for a ladder. Suddenly I ran into something hard, I looked up in horror at the boy from District 2.
He looked at my with his evil eyes. I glared at him and stabbed my knife in his direction hoping to kill him. But by the time he managed to get his hands to my neck I had only stabbed his arm.
Everything went black.
Tansy (District 10)
I ran as fast as I could up the ladder, I did not even waste my time in going to the feast. It would have been too risky.
I ran to the trees and to the yellow path and then began walking along it.
My breath was heavy.
A cannon sounded not too long ago, there was now seven tributes left and I know why the game makers called a feast.
They wanted to end this now.
"Tansy?" I heard someone say, I turned around fiercely but I only saw Jai. I sighed in relief.
"Jai," I smiled softly and hugged him, "they are ending this, soon," I said. I felt his hand stroke my hair, suddenly I realised how much I had missed him, I may have only been gone a couple of days but I had missed Jai.
"Let's fine food," I said.
I wanted to enjoy the small amount of time we had left.
Jai nodded and we began to walk.
Er, yeah, don't hate me for the deaths! :{ It is so hard to kill people off D: So sorry! So, Silver, Leonis, Saffra, Jet, Sean, Tansy and Jai remain, who will win?
