So sorry I couldn't update last week. I was really busy. I have a softball game soon and have to go but here is a quick chapter. Disclaimer today will be done by Ms. Minnow Reedsworthy.
Minnow: Someone kill that 9 girl so I can teach her a lesson. Anyways HPHGPJGONE doesn't own The Hunger Games.
Coal Hartsell's POV
After the career massacre I was left with Kevin and it gets pretty annoying. All he does is talk about how awesome he was that night. He makes me sick. I mean he didn't even do anything last night he just watched.
I'm starting to wonder why I even volunteered for these games anyways, well I guess I did it for my family but...No wait I did it because it felt like the right thing to do. It just still doesn't feel right. Like I never thought I'd actually kill someone. Man all I want is to go home. Home. Home is where Virginia is and where Mom is and everyone else. I remember in school one day we read a book about the rebellion. And it says home is where your district is and where the Capitol is. I'm starting to doubt that though.
If the Capitol really was good they wouldn't have kids fight to the death each year. They wouldn't do that to families and destroy them that way. But this is just like my father said "Thinking like this turns every man into a coward." He said it was from this ancient play from the dark days by some guy named William. What a nasty name. Who'd name their kid after I don't know but it's not Panemian. That's for sure. I wonder who...
"Yo Coal the anthem just played. And Max is dead." So he is dead he didn't get lost.
"I heard 3 cannons last night who are they?" I need to know. Phlox was one and Kasi left but maybe that traitor died too. One can only hope.
"Black from 11, Phlox, and Max." Kevin replied smoothly.
"Wherever she is I hope she gets killed soon." I said it and wanted to believe it but I can't. Whatever she did she doesn't deserve to die. But I guess I need to keep being career like for now.
A cannon goes off in the distance breaking the silence. My heart skips a beat. I don't know who it was yet but something tells me that it was Kasi. Trying to take my mind off of it I go to sleep. The next day all I can think about is the cannon and who it was.
"Coal you wanta know what we need? We need a feast. And since there's only the two of us now let's eat some food." He motions towards the cornucopia. I smile and think about the prospect of food. Maybe that's what I need. Food.
"Kevin I think you're right. I could use some food to take my mind off of all that's happened."
Grinning he and I race to the cornucopia.
We open up package after package of dried beef, crackers, cheese, apples, and other foods. We both ate to our hearts content full for the first time in days. Kevin then challenges me to a belching contest. In all my days I never thought I'd stoop as low as this. But hey it's the hunger games where manners and properness will only get you killed.
As dark fell the anthem played and I saw the face in the sky. I sighed in relief. As much as I wanted Kasi dead I knew that I wouldn't be able to live because of the guilt. She stood up for me and saved me from Kevin's rule. The face was Silk.
So once again sorry for the long wait and the short chapter. I'll try to update tomorrow but I can't be sure. Have a good weekend.
