Iyana White- D1
I walked through the forest all night, but never found Zurie. As I walked I kept thinking about our last fight. It ran thought my mind repeatedly as I marched across the steel beam where Jericho died and into the city. Finally, I accepted the fact that fighting her head on was a death wish. If she didn't take off last time, I would be dead. If I was going to kill Zurie, it would be when her guard was down. Unfortunately, every time I get within 20 feet of her, her guard goes up. As I continued walking I heard a scream. I quickly ducked into an alley and poked my head out, looking for the source of the scream. I did a barrel roll across the street to another alley. I checked again and saw her, inside a building opposite me. The large double doors were open and someone was on there knees in front of her. I hit the ground and crawled over to the building. I stayed to the side of the door, but stuck my head inside to see what was happening. "If you don't tell me where she's at, I'll kill you now!" Zurie screamed.
"I haven't seen her since the feast!" I recognized the voice of the girl from 8.
"Then you useless to me!" Zurie screamed again. I saw her pull out her sword and swing. I cringed, expecting to hear the splatter of blood and a cannon, but instead, I heard a blood curtailing scream. Zurie had brought the hilt of the sword down on Kalinda's head. She was bleeding and fell flat on the ground.
"You're nothing!" Zurie screamed., kicking her in the side. Then she pulled her sword across the Kalinda's leg. She continued to scream as Zurie beat her again and again. Then, she did something more cruel that she did in my deepest, scariest nightmares. She grabbed 2 rocks off the ground, and clashed them against each other until a spark landed on Kalinda. It produced into a flame and I covered my ears. I ran away, hoping the screams would drown out my heavy foot steps. I got to the forest and collapsed next to a tree. Tears began rolling down my face just as the cannon sounded. I came to a very shocking and unwelcomed realization. I was afraid of Zurie. No matter how much I teased and angered her…I was afraid. Kalinda was an innocent tribute. She was an orphan. If Zurie did that to her, I couldn't imagine what she would do to me…
So, short chapter today. 3 TRIBUTES LEFT! Congrats to the creators of these tributes. Start placing bets. In a few days, a victor will be crowned for the 332nd Hunger Games!
