WHO IS READY TO FIND OUT THE VICTOR OF TRAINING?! I am! In our final chapter of Chosen Warriors, you shall find out. Enjoy.
Nero waded slowly through the water that rippled around his waist. The rainfall the previous night had swollen the river. It was cold and muddy but the fire on the opposite bank called to him. There were only Eleven Tributes left not including himself and darkness were creeping up on him. He wanted as little work as possible for himself in the morning.
As he clambered up the steep slope of the bank, the sound of disturbed water forced him to swing his sword around, holding it to the neck of Sunbeam.
Sunbeam smiled back at Nero although her heart was pounding. She did not fight just to die before the final ten. She needed some form of the sponsor. Well, the girl had not fought per-say. After hitting Berik with a stone on the first day, she vanished into hiding, only emerging when Clarissa's face flashed in the sky. There was no one to step aside for now.
"You after the fire too?" Sunbeam asked, cocking her head to the side. Nero gave a nod, making a smile form on the blonde girl's face. "Ya' know, there are fires all along the bank...it might be a trap,"
Nero's stern face dropped for a second but he quickly regained it. "Then why are you here?"
I will get you!" Shelly squealed with joy as she chased Venus through the undergrowth. It seemed out of character even for Shelly, it wasn't Venus fault that she went to the toilet on the girl's weapon.
However, Shelly was not the type of person to change her mind once she had decided on something so Venus had no other choice but to run. Why she ran towards the fire was simple, if she was going to go down, she wanted someone to take Shelly out too.
Sadly, as the girl slid down the waterlogged earth, a knife clattering off her thigh, making her leg flash white and give way from under her. She looked up just in time to see Shelly charging towards her.
Shelly smiled at the girl as she readied another knife but something down the stream caught her ear. A man shouting. "Nero," she smiled, spinning the knife around in her hand. She took one more glance and the pathetic excuse for a Tribute that was Venus and turned towards the noise. However, as she took a step forward, Evelyn crashed out of the bushed and pushed her to the ground.
"Leave him!" she hissed, wrestling the dagger out of the girl's hand. Shelly opened her mouth to speak once more when an arrow landed near her head. Both girls looked up towards the other bank where they saw Damon holding a bow, an arrow at the ready.
"Get her into position, Shelly-"
"I'm sorry!" a voice screamed out into the forest, like a guilt-ridden scream. Seconds later, the world flashed white and Damon was thrown into the air, the ground sparking from underneath them.
I LIED! There will be another chapter after this, showing which tributes died, what happened and who our victor is.
After this bombshell, what do you think happened and who do you think caused it? Keep in mind we have some tributes unaccounted for.
