Rachael Smith- 18- District 8 Female
I watch with the other villagers as the arena forecast is shown to us. Only nine of us remain... I want more blood! I lick the blood off of my knife for a taste, but it is dried, which is unfortunate. The forecast is showing that the shadow Debra warned me about has almost fully covered to entire arena.
I wonder what will happen, but it is no worry. Everyone else screams as it starts to rain, and multiple other people explode. The remainder of us lick the blood and eat their guts. I smile. Blood tastes so good!
I just need to kill another gross tribute.
Get rid of them Rachael.
The boy from 1 died yesterday. I would make a certain body part a hot dog from him... blood!
Sigrid Alclad- 18- District 6 Female
Elisa starts to cry as the shadow covers our area more and more. Our heads begin to throb.
"This shadow is dangerous." Wheel says. "We need to leave the mountain and find safe ground."
"We do." I say. "How do we get down quickly? We cannot just go down a mountain quickly."
"We will have to find a way." Wheel tells me. "We just have to run." We do run. Not for the reason he thinks though. A pack of cat mutts start to run at us, and we all scream and run down the area to find a safe place... we do not want to die so young!
It feels like it went to quick when we got down.
We run over so the shadow is out of our range... it is about to cover the whole arena!
"I will scout out the area!" Wheel tells us, and he walks off.
"So brave." she says quietly. Honestly, I think that Elisa has a bit of a crush on Wheel. I will not press for more details. I picked up on the fact... I think of home... I need to kill them to go back. Not now, just wait Sigrid.
Dakota Estreem- 18- District 7 Male
I walk up the mountain that is not steep. My head is pounding from the shadow, which has been rapidly covering the arena. My head hurts so much... but I cannot turn back. Not now, because of Tesla being on the mountain.
He is building something.
This shadow hurts!
Juno Abeck- 18- District 2 Female
We are out of the shadow, but the shadow is on our tail.
It is so weird what is happening, but I never went in the shadow... I was avoiding it the whole games, but it appears the shadow has some kind of twist. Terry and I continue to walk where we are. "We are now in the final nine." I tell him. "The games are about to end now."
We stop at a lake. He is just a meat shield for me basically. I see a bit of blood staining the lake, and I frown. I wonder what happened here. I hear a yell of pain, and I turn around to see... Kendall!
I see blood leaking out of her shoulder. Terry stabbed her with a knife. I scream as she stabs him in the gut with a spear, and he falls to the ground, bloody and dying. He was going to be an easy ticket to victory... it got cut short!
We glare at each other in pure hatred. She is going to die. "Sorry sweetie. You and hippie are both going, and I will be the only career in the final seven!"
I take a knife out of my pocket and throw it with a bunch of force, hitting her knee. "Ow!" she says. "You are so dead!"
No, I will not be, but she does not know that part of it. She runs over to me, but I trip her and I try to slash her back with my sword. She scoots up and the sword hits her leg instead. She screams, and I gasp as she kicks my sword away from me, landing next to Terry's dying corpse.
In my state of shock, Kendall drags me into the water and I gasp... District 4. Her domain. Water! I take the knife from my boot, and I try to slash her throat. She gracefully swims back. I gasp as she pulls out a crossbow, and she takes aim. I duck and the arrow goes flying over my head.
I would have died.
Kendall rushes towards me with her trident, but I jump on to her to force her to drown. She slashes my gut slightly with a knife. It hurts so much... she splashes water into my eyes, some of it hitting the soil, making the ground very muddy. I scream as her trident goes into my foot, and I rip it out and throw it to the bottom of the lake.
She screams, going down and trying to get her trident. I go up for air, and then I go back down to jump on Kendall and drown her. I gasp as her aims her crossbow and fires... it just goes very slowly towards me. I snap the arrow.
She jumps up and uppercuts me, and I see she got the trident. We head up for air, and I swim the to edge. She throws her trident, and it flies past me. I need my sword! I take the spear she left on shore, but she swims quickly towards me.
The water dripping from us makes the ground even more muddy... even more so when I pour a cold water bottle onto her head, and she screams from how cold it is. I spear her knee with the spear, but it is not the best weapon.
Why has Terry's cannon not fired yet? My boot gets stuck in the mud for a second, and it starts to rain. Oh great! A heavy storm without lightning comes next. I hear a beeping sound for a second, but we do not see anything, so we continue to fight.
Our weapons clash, but I drop the spear and tackle to the ground, leaving her without a weapon. I wipe the hair from over my eyes away, as it bothers me more and more.
I punch her repeatedly in the face, breaking her nose and bruising her. She screams and pulls my hair, throwing me into a tree. The rain gets unbearably loud and the water is pouring! I groan from the pain, and she throws a knife, and I slump down, avoiding it.
She runs towards me, and I slam her into the tree as she gets to me. I hold the knife against her throat, but she kicks my shin. I grab a rock and slam it into her knee, and her screams are loud.
I slam it repeatedly into her knee, and we both kneel down to each other's level. We glare at each other in howling hate.
Our screams are loud as a bird mutt appears.
I hit it down instantly with my knife as Kendall finally takes advantage.
She shoves me into the frozen lake... it is so much colder! I see Terry rubbing something on his gut as I start to drown in the lake. I need to get back up! I will not be a career who died because they fell in a lake!
Kendall throws her spear, and that is the last moment of my life. It has to be...
But it is not.
I am alive.
I am not dead.
It missed.
That is all the time I need to get to shore. I am freezing... so cold! I gasp as her trident hits my leg, and I fall just before the lake...
I am done.
"So, you are a failure." she says. "Time to die!"
I scream, waiting for my blood to splat. But it is not my own blood. It is Kendall's. I gasp as I see Terry go against his code, and he slashed Kendall upside the torso with my sword. She screams as blood pours out. She falls in the mud and starts to sink.
"Please, Ju-NO!" she says before my knife hits her heart.
BANG!
I see the shadow finally cover the arena as the anthem plays, and Kendall is in the sky.
All I see the is the shadow become very dark before a terrifying scream, almost like a demon, is here.
Oh shit.
Kendall is finally dead, and the shadow curse has finally finished covering the arena! What will happen because of this? I am sorry for the last two chapters being short, but meh. The next chapter will hit 10,000 words.
