Chapter 6

Last Time:

"I just want to talk to you Coin. Only you, me and Crumbs." Snow fakes a sympathetic look and Coin sees right through it.

"Whatever you want to say to me you can say it in front of Boggs and Cinna."

"Fine." Snow shrugs his shoulders, "Don't bother trying to figure out a way to save Alex, Katniss, Rue, Ramona, Max and Prim, they are going to be dead by the time you do."

And without another word Snow and Crumbs walks out before anyone could say or process the information.

Now:

In the arena of Day 3 since nothing happened the day before, Alex is making a campsite before going hunting with Katniss.

The two of them jumps from tree to tree. One of them is looking for tributes to be on guard as the other is looking for a good place to hunt.

"There." Katniss whispers pointing to a small clearing. Alex looks to see rabbits, squirrels and lizards.

Alex grins before looking down to see a guy bash the guy from District 8's head in. Alex loads her bow and before she could fire, the guy takes off into the bushes. The cannon goes off and Katniss and Alex look up to see the guy from District 8's picture.

"Huh... that guy was smart to run." Alex comments making Katniss rolls her eyes fighting a laugh. The two arrives to the clearing and Alex fires an arrow at a squirrel as Katniss fires one at the rabbit.

After they get 2 squirrels and 3 rabbits, the two walks through the forest before climbing into a tree and jumping from tree to tree back to their campsite.

~K&A~

Nothing happened on Day 4 in the arena.

"I wonder if the Careers are joining up." Alex taps her chin, "If so, then they are teaming up to hunt us down."

"Sometimes I wonder if you are too good at figuring things out." Alex looks up to see the girl from District 12.

Alex looks around the clearing she is in as Rue, Katniss, Max, Prim and Ramona are out hunting. It is Day 5 of 14.

"Huh... that's new." Alex shrugs her shoulders. The girl narrows her eyes and knocks Alex onto her back. The girl holds her knife to Alex's throat holding Alex's arms and legs down so she can't move.

Alex looks at her bow and arrows that are feet away.

"God, my senses are off." Alex mutters.

"I'm as quiet as a hunter Russo." The girl smirks, "Are you ready to die?"

Alex so badly wants to use her magic but if she did it will draw attention, something that can't happen. So Alex does the next best thing.

"KATNISS! RUE!" Alex screams at the top of her lungs knowing if she didn't, she would be dead. But she also knows that the Careers will hear, but she, Rue and Katniss could get away.

"ALEX!" Alex hears Katniss and Rue shout at the same time.

Alex smirks at the girl.

"Well, I'm ready now. If you kill me, you will only be killed by Rue and Kat." The girl pulls her knife away and stabs Alex in the arm. Alex screams and not even a second later the cannon goes off. Alex looks at the girl to see an arrow sticking out of her forehead. Blood falls onto Alex's face as the girl falls off of her dead.

"Alex!" Katniss and Rue runs over and Rue immediately pulls the knife out of Alex's arm and quickly patches her up.

"That one hurt." Alex frowns as Katniss wipes the blood off Alex's face as Alex gives her a disgusted face, "My senses are gone. I didn't hear her come."

"Are you ok?" Katniss asks.

"Oh ya. But we better move unless we want to die." After Rue gives her an ok, Katniss picks Alex up and Rue gathers their bags and weapons. Rue climbs into a tree and lifts Alex up onto her branch as Katniss climbs up. Katniss picks Alex back up and they look back at the clearing to see the Careers alliance.

"Guy from 12, girl from 8, and both from 5." Rue whispers, "Then there's you both, me, Ramona, Max and Prim."

"10 left."Alex whispers, "Wow, Kat killed two people as I killed three. Then the guy, either from 12 or 5, killed the guy from 8."

"Guess they hate you a lot Alex. Everyone is after you." Katniss jokes. Alex rolls her eyes as Rue and Katniss begins to move, "We made a campsite and Max, Ramona and Prim are there. Rue and I were on the way back to get you when you screamed."

"Better then dying."

Katniss nods as Rue winks at Alex, telling her secretly that she is laughing.

"Can we show our emotions now?"

"Nope." Katniss then leans down to Alex's ear, "When Prim, Ramona or Max dies we can start." Alex winks at Katniss and kisses her cheek.

"Ok." Alex whispers.

~A&K~

As Day 7 arrives in the arena, Alex's arm is healed again. Katniss cleaned off her's and Alex's arrows in a nearby stream to rid of dry blood. Alex is at the campsite with Rue, Prim, Max and Ramona.

As Katniss packs up the arrows, a branch snaps. Katniss whirls around with her bow loaded with Alex's on her back with Alex's arrows and her own. A girl steps out of the bushes with a sword in hand.

"My partner is dead because of you!" The girl snaps.

"Which District are you from?" Katniss asks calmly.

"District 8."

"Hmm. To be honest, Alex, Rue and I never had anything to do with your partner dying. We were in the trees and Alex was going to kill the guy who killed your partner. Either it was the guy from 12 or the guy from 5."

The girl rolls her eyes before running at Katniss then swinging her sword. Before Katniss could blink, an arrow flies at the girl and the arrow hits her in the chest where her heart is. The girl falls to the ground and the cannon goes off showing the girl from District 8's picture. Katniss turns to see who fired the arrow. Katniss smiles seeing non-other than Alex herself.

"I got bored at the campsite and decided to join you." Alex gives Katniss a smirk, "Now why did that chick try to kill you this time?"

"Something about us killing her partner." Katniss answers with a shrug as she walks over.

"But we didn't! It was that dude." Alex comments.

"I know." Katniss tells her, "So why haven't I heard you coming?"

Alex smirks at her older 21 year old sister.

"You should know by now that I'm a silent ninja." Alex replies jumping into a tree.

Katniss chuckles before following her 17 year old sister who is in fact, a silent ninja... or so Alex thinks.
