Chapter 21
Leonardo started toward the direction the Cornucopia was. He kept his bow at the ready in case of someone attacking him. He kept his pace nice and calm. Keeping his alert for the others. With what was said yesterday, something you desperately needed, all the tributes will be drawn to it.
He finally got to the Cornucopia with time to spare, the sun was slowly rising and he saw he was the first one there. On a table placed in front of the Cornucopia was four backpacks with a district number. With district 12 being the smallest. "That must be the medicine," he mumbled to himself. He took a quick glance around and relaxed.
"Big mistake," 07Leo criticized. "You should always expect the unexpected."
"Quit being backseat sensei, geez your bad as my brother." 03Mikey complained, crossing his arms. 03 and 07 Leo gave each other a smirk.
He was about to step out when all of a sudden, the white fox appeared out from the Cornucopia. He stood still. She grabbed the one with 7 on it and ran right back into the woods. Leonardo was already too exposed so he took to what she did. He ran for it.
He ran all the way to the table and grabbed the one with his district number on it. He turned to run back and managed to get a couple distance away from the Cornucopia when he felt something wrap around his legs. He fell right on his face, his pack landed a few feet away. He turned abruptly and saw it was Karai. She gave a hiss and narrowed her green eyes.
Leonardo felt like he couldn't breathe.
"Where'ssss lover boy?" She hissed, giving him a sick sweet smile. Leonardo tried to get up but her snake hands trapped his arms. She used the rest of her body to coil up his legs trapping him. He couldn't move.
Leonardo glared right back at her. "Oh, I see," she let out a sweet sigh, "You're gonna help him right? That's so sweet." She used her upper torso to put her whole weight on his chest. Leonardo let out a gasp and tried to get air right back into his lungs. She might not look like it, but she was heavy.
She used the end of her tail and brought out a knife. She made a small cut above his right eye. He let out a scream of pain. She smiled at hearing this.
"Boy, do I soooo want her dead." 03 Mikey growled. The others were tense.
"It's too bad you couldn't help him, just like you couldn't help your friend…" She paused, acting like she was trying to remember something. "What was his name?" She trailed off and smiled when Leonardo let a growl loose.
"Oh, yeah Usagi? A cute little rabbit he was, too bad we had to kill him." She mocked down at him. Leonardo was struggling to escape. His newfound anger made him want to kill the female serpent. She moved the knife down to his neck. A paused when he felt the blade press against his neck.
"And now, I'm gonna kill you." She went to slice his throat but she was roughly pulled off him. Leonardo went along with her due to the fact she was still wrapped around him, but was let loose when she surprisingly let him go. He sat up, blinking blood out of his eye. Gen, the rhino that was from the same district as Usagi, was holding the female snake by her throat. She was wrapped around his torso trying to squeeze him, but by her face, he could tell she was losing.
"Who would have thought I would be happy to see that rhino again." The others cheered when Gen saved Leonardo from Karai.
"What did you just say?" His voice cold, his fingers squeezed tighter. "You killed him!" He shouted in her face. She was struggling to get air.
"No!" She managed to gasp. Then with one final grasp of air she shouted, "SLASH!" Like she was hollering for him to rescue her. Gen easily snapped her neck. She fell lifeless to the ground. Gen grabbed his pack then turned to face Leonardo.
"Maybe you spoke to soon, Raph?" 12Mikey gulped at the angry look on Gen's face.
"Just this time, Leonardo-san," he gave Leonardo a small bow, "for Usagi." He raised his hand in the air and ran off in the opposite direction. A canon went off. That brought Leonardo out of his stupor and he finally got his senses together.
He got up stumbling slightly and grabbed the pack he threw when Karai attacked him. He took one last look at her body and ran back toward his direction of the forest. He had to make sure Donatello was okay, seeing as how the canon was sure to have woken him up.
He made it back to the cave and saw Donatello bright and alert. "I got it! I got your medicine!" He kneeled down beside Donatello and opened the pack. It was a small compact like thing and when he opened it, it was filled to the brim with a cream like substance. He didn't know if this was medicine or not for sure.
"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked and his eyes were drawn to the cut above Leonardo's eye and gasped. "Who did this to you? I woke up because the cannon who died?"
"The girl from two, she cut me with a knife." Leonardo scooped up a small amount on his finger and rubbed some on Donatello's leg. And as soon as he removed his finger, they watched in awe as the medicine did its job and the sore was gone.
"I wish we had medicine like that, hey Donnie-"
"Don't even bother."
"Now, you." Donatello got some too and used it on Leonardo's cut. As he did this he let his hand trace Leonardo's jaw as they looked into each other's eyes. "We can go home." Leonardo stated.
"What?" Donatello asked, confused with the statement.
"We're the only two from the same district we can go home." He said, a little more lively this time. A smile spread on his face and soon Donatello was smiling too. The both of them let out laughs of joy of how they did it. They managed to survive.
