Chapter 8

Christmas stays up all night, thinking about the dark nights he used to have in his basement. He had 5 other siblings, but Christmas was the only person who had to sleep down there. He holds back the tears and tries to get sleep.

In the morning, Christmas feels a pit in his stomach. A pit of dread. "Let's get there early." Christmas suggests, and Grell nods. "Let's go now." She says, and they walk towards the cornucopia.

The Pyrite from district 1 camps the bags, with a spear in his hand. "Distraction." Christmas reminds Grell and she runs into the cornucopia.

Pyrite runs towards Grell, and throws the spear. She ducks and the spear goes over her head. Christmas sneaks over to the boy and stabs him in the back with his sword. He screams and falls to the ground. That alerted more.

The Marie from district 1 comes over to her partner's dead body. Grell picks up the spear, and attempts to throw it at the girl. She had never help a weapon before and it goes right past Marie.

Grell's heart sinks, and the girl throws multiple knifes right into Grell's heart. Her last words were "Christmas! Help!" But he wasn't there to help. He grabbed his bag and Grell's even though there was no one to give it to.
