Chapter 17: Day 5, Alliances Never Last
Louis "Lou" Esau-Lapointé, 18
District 2 Male
Louis was exhausted, to say the least. He had now made six kills in the arena. He just wanted to go home. He would do anything to go home. He had to do anything to go home.
The sound of soft music interrupted his thoughts and he got up from where he was sitting beside the horn to catch the sponsor gift. He eagerly ripped it open to find a picture of his dads and their cat, Salmon. He smiled and looked up into the sky.
"I'm gonna win! Then, I'm gonna come back home!" He yelled, at no one in particular. He didn't care if anyone heard him. In fact, it would make it better if someone heard him. It was time for him to end these games. It was time for him to become a victor.
He knew what he was going to do. Lou dragged his sleeping bag into the middle of the field around the Cornucopia. Then, he sat down and set a fire, just enough to cause some smoke without spreading. Finally, he laid down to rest in his sleeping bag. In a few hour's time, he planned to make another kill.
His plan was simple, by creating the fire, he would attract tributes nearby. At this point, everyone was hunting everyone. He knew if they came nearby, they would see him sleeping and think he's an easy kill. But he would spring up and take them out.
Gervanna "Gerv" Garcia, 17
District 7 Female
Gerv was up, bright-and-early in the morning, ready for the day. She was running out of supplies, but she knew the games would be over soon, so she didn't bother saving up. She had a good breakfast, or not exactly, she just had a normal breakfast, honestly, it was worse than normal. She ate a few pieces of jerky and some dried fruit.
She figured she had about a day left to organize her plan. She had informed the audience several times about her plan too, but never revealed what it was. She wanted it to be a big surprise to the audience. The Capitol would love her when she became a victor.
She heard the sound of soft music and looked up to see a sponsor gift coming her way. It was quite big and she had to wrestle it open, but when she discovered what was inside, her plan became a whole lot better.
Gerv was no armed with a confetti cannon, and she was ready to end these games.
Coral Hart, 14
District 4 Female
Coral finished up her breakfast, which was magnificent by the way. She was delivered a plate of steaming hot, eggs, toast, fruit, and pancakes. It was the best she had eaten in a long time.
After breakfast, she stood up and began walking into the woods. She had a plan. She would find that poor girl Delilah and they would become allies. Or at least that's what she hoped would happen. She knew the girl was barely surviving, so she'd give her some food and tell her about her plan.
Soon enough, Coral found her. She was sleeping in the same spot as yesterday.
"Wake up," Coral ordered, trying to hide a smile and look as powerful as she could.
Delilah woke up screaming. "Please don't kill me!" She begged.
"I won't," Coral replied. She smiled and stuck out her hand. "I have a proposition."
"What is it?" Delilah said, fear evident in her voice as she took the other girl's hand.
"We ally and take out the biggest threat in the games. Then we can split up."
Delilah smiled. It was a deal.
They enacted their pan later in the day, it was going much smoother than Coral had anticipated. She was excited! She and Delilah met at the forest's edge where she handed her the vial of poison. Delilah was to sneak over to Lou and deposit the poison in his food while he was sleeping. It was foolproof.
However, it wasn't so foolproof anymore. Delilah accidentally stepped too loud next to Lou and he leaped up ready to fight. Coal heard a scream but she ran away before she could notice Delilah getting killed. She heard her canon and couldn't decide whether or not to sob.
DEATHS:
8th Place: Delilah Calandrea (D3), Killed by Lou / Submitted by santiago . poncini20
Delilah was really fun to play with! I only wish I could've written her to her full extent! Unfortunately, hers and Coral's plan would've never worked with Lou's plan and she was the one that went. I had more plans for her but she was voted to die next. I hope I did her justice while she lasted, thanks for her 20, stick around to see Torren! RIP Delilah Calandrea.
