Hello wonderful peoples! Here is the second fight at the cornucopia. If you're a little confused by the end, I've accomplished my goal. Seven will die in this chapter. I'm kinda hopeless at setting up alliances, but by the end of this chapter if your tribute is still alive and you want an alliance, I can set that up, but otherwise, if your tribute isn't in an alliance right now, they'll be going solo for the rest of the games. Well, here's the fight!
Justin Bedon- D9 (10)
No. The careers are going crazy and the rest of us have no choice but do defend ourselves. It's attack or be attacked. I charge at the girl, thinking I could take her but she's too much for me. I've taken a fallen branch which is surprisingly heavy and swing it at her like a club. She pushes it away with ease and I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I fall down and I don't know what happens next.
Grey Zillon- D8 (15)
I grab Libby's arm and pull her back into the dark forest. No way am I going to fight these crazed people in the dead of night. She resists my urge.
"If we go we'll die anyways!" she screams, frantic, "We have to fight! We don't have a choice!" I know she's right but I don't want her to be. We run into the midst of the battle together and all we can do is hope we make it out.
Violet Walters- D10 (79)
Thanks to the half loaf of bread a sponsor sent me earlier today, I have plenty of energy. I know I don't have a choice so I plunge into the battle. I come head to head with Zephyr Raine. I avoid a few of his blows, but I can't hold out for long. I pick up a fallen sword and try to block the rest of his blows but I soon realize he's better than me. I'm dead.
Libby Campbell- D11 (80)
I'm fighting side by side with Grey. I'm not the best swordsmaiden, so all I'm doing is slashing my sword around randomly. I don't even remember having this sword. I think I've killed a few people in my mad rampage, and the very though makes my stomach churn. But I have to make it home. I just have to.
Grey slashes and a girl with black hair on accident and she falls to the ground, dead. I think her name was Lavette. He turns and looks at me, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Did I seriously just do that?" I nod sympathetically. If you're going to be a victor, you've got to be a murderer.
Lavette Mandeen- D9
I shriek in pain as a boy slashes his sword across my stomach. The cut feels deep, and it's bleeding like crazy. I fall to the ground and fight for breath. I don't really care though. I'll just let myself die, since there's nothing I can do about it.
Ruby Zershmeide- D1
I'm fighting Rosco. He thinks he's so much better than me. Well, he's not. And I don't care if I can barely see his face, I know exactly where his heart is. I don't care if we're in an alliance, because sooner or later, one of us will die. I don't want it to be me. It won't be me.
I quickly block his next blow to my neck, but I only barely make it.
Rosco Nelson- D1
Ruby is not going to take down Rosco Nelson. I refuse to die at all, let alone be killed by a wimpy girl. I see Zeph out of the corner of my eye. How did he get here? Last I saw him he was getting crushed by a tree.
While I'm thinking about this, Ruby has caught me off guard. I scream, "No!" just before she plunges her sword into my heart.
Sitka Spruce- D7
I don't know who to fight or what to do. I sure don't want to kill anyone. I pick Caelan to pretend to fight. He seems crazed for some reason. I don't think I want to know why.
He doesn't seem to be pretending when we fight. I block all of his blows with my tiny knife narrowly, but I know that it's either going to be him or me. I'm caught between not wanting to die and not wanting to become a murderer.
Jocelyn Bennett- D12 (87)
I'm trying to dodge my way underneath the swords, daggers and spears that are clashing all over the clearing and make it to the cornucopia. It's like a beacon of hope in this dark, dangerous night. I'll crawl inside it and hide until this is over.
I'm almost there when someone's dagger cuts my arm. I clutch it and keep running. I'm about to cram inside when the career boy from four sneaks up behind me and runs his spear through my back. I collapse in the mouth of the cornucopia.
Sparky Triton- D11 (17)
The girl career has made her way over to me and our swords clash in the air. We're both pretty good, although I just learned in training and she's been waiting for this all her life. Her eyes have an insane look in them which scares me. I try to block every blow, but she succeeds in making the cut in my arm deeper. I groan in pain, but I keep fighting. I just have to make it through the night.
Caelan Brown- D2 (36)
Ruth is gone. I don't care what happens to me anymore. This girl doesn't seem to be trying hard, but she's managing to block my deadly blows with her daggers. It's pretty impressive, seeing how daggers are almost a fifth of the size of my sword.
I can tell she knows she has to kill me, or I'll kill her. She tosses one of her daggers at my chest and punctures my right lung. But I can see the look of regret in her eyes as I collapse. At least I'll see Ruth in heaven.
Zephyr Raine- D4 (29)
I don't even know who I'm fighting right now. All I know is that my nice guy act is over. I'm a ruthless killing machine, and nobody has gotten past me yet.
I'm head to head with a girl so pale she looks like she's glowing in the dim light emitting from the cornucopia. She's fighting me with a giant stick. I smirk. She must not have had enough time to grab a decent weapon at the cornucopia.
CJ Jellon- D3
This boy is too good for me. I see him smirk as he looks at my pathetic weapon. I didn't get a chance to get one, and I found this branch on the ground and realized it was my only chance.
With one heavy blow Zephyr saws the huge branch in half with his sword. I back away, knowing I'm going to die. He makes it quick, sending his sword straight through my heart.
Bennett Kellston- D5
I've fought so many people in this dim light, maybe even killed a few. I don't know what happened. Everything was a blur. I'm the only person still standing here. I guess nobody saw me in the darkness. They've all retreated back into the wilderness and I'm standing out here alone.
It really was a dirty trick the Gamemakers played on us, but it was to be expected with so little deaths at the original bloodbath. Blood is littering the green grass again tonight.
Vivian Snow
That fight was magnificent. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Dad comes up behind me and pats me on the back.
"What did you think of that, sweetheart?"
"That was incredible."
"I agree. Let's see what happens next, shall we?" I nod eagerly, and dad sits down beside me.
I wonder who will fall prey to the games tomorrow.
Well, that was fun (Sarcasm). You may be tired of me saying this, but I'm REALLY sorry if your tribute died! It's all the easter basket's fault! Please don't hate me!
Ok, this is your last chance to request alliances. Within the next four chapters, we will have a victor! I'm planning on doing a sequel to this one. I'm not giving you spoilers, but it will be VERY interesting! With the Quell twist and it being the 100th Games, it's sure to be good, right? Ok, well, don't forget to review! I'm so excited I have over 100 reviews! Let's try for 110 shall we? I think we shall.
