District Three Female – Alyx Collyn (14)

"So where should we go?" I ask. I look at Nessa but she just shrugs. I've never been without the cart since these Games started, so it's weird. Especially walking…I don't know what to expect out on this arena now.

"Wait," says Nessa, holding out her arm for me to stop. I do as said and look at her questionably when I tilt my head downwards to see a crack running from the right to the left. It's hard to say how long the deep crack goes…since it's far my view to see. And since the gap is wide, I guess we have no other choice but to turn back.

"Should we turn back?" I ask. Suddenly, I hear a loud boom. A small slit separates us. "Nessa?"

"Help me, please," she pleads. I nod my head. I'm about to reach for her hands when suddenly, more cracking sounds are heard from below us and the we're seperated as the gap gets larger in width...and I'm sure it goes all around.

I panic a little, knowing that my partner is on the other side, possibly more than five meters. Is she able to jump far enough to make it? Oh, what am I going to do? "Jump!" I shout unconsciously.

Nessa just looks at me with worried eyes when. We both look down in unison when we see the gap between us widening with each passing second. Looking up at Nessa, she takes a step back slowly. I feel hope spark up in me. We're in space so the jumps should be big, right?

"I'm jumping," she says when she takes a leap off the ground, slowly gliding through the air. I'm only worried inside. Once she gets near, I suddenly feel a shift in the ground and I topple forward, hitting the ground with a soft thud. Then I hear Nessa scream.

I look up as quickly as possible. She's almost here. Her foot reaches the land until I feel another shift in the ground and she's falling back. Oh no. I reach for her hands and she takes it. Is it possible to pull her up? I think. I shake that thought from me and look behind her where she almost fell in the rather large gap. Just more than fourty meters from is is lava.

"Alyx, just pull me up. It's hot," she wails. I just nod my head and I'm about to pull her up when she suddenly gasps in horror. I feel someone place their foot on my back and I feel my breathing hitched, knowing that there's probably no way out.

"Helping your little friend here, huh?" he speaks.

I try to recognize the voice, counting the males who are left in the arena. Iagan, Jansen, Alexander?

"Leave us," I speak.

He snickers and pushes his foot deeper in my back, making my wince in pain. "These are the Hunger Games, if you haven't noticed. It doesn't matter if you're older, younger, stronger, weaker, or unintelligble, I'll still kill you no matter what. I'll die trying. I mean, everyone wants to win this special anniversary, right?"

I sigh inwardly and look at Nessa, who has worry in her eyes, her body stuggling. But I still continue to hold onto her, not moving.

"Just say goodbye and this will all be over," he whispers.

All I do is shake my head in protest.

"Don't be so stubborn, Three. Let your Nessa here go and all will be fine."

Then his voice registers in my mind. "I'm not letting my friend go, Twelve," I say sternly.

He laughs. "Then say goodbye," is all he says before I feel his foot lift from my back. I get up to try to pull Nessa up, but I suddenly feel a pair of hands grab my waist and travel to my arms. That's when I see the grey glowing lines running across his arms.

"L-let go," I stutter, fear flooding my whole being. Nessa doesn't speak a words, though. She probably knows what's coming. I continue staring into her eyes that's filled with terror.

"No," he says before I feel myself being pushed forward.

"Nessa!" I shout as her hands lose the grip around mine. I feel tears pool in my eyes. I feel myself pushed down onto the ground and I turn on my back to see Janseon sitting on me. An idea comes to mind and I form a small smirk to show that I'm strong. "You'e coming with me," I whisper. I look into his eyes to see his pupils small. Crazy...

He narrows his eyes. He opens his mouth to speak but I already have my arms wrapped around his neck. I pull him down closer to me and roll to my left. And I guess realization hits him and his eyes jump wide open. My family comes to mind when I feel myself falling and the heat blazing hot.
