Oh, Hello! Didn't see you there. After watching the Hunger Games for the umpteenth time I figured it was time to freaking update!
"Come on football head, we have to find shelter soon! It's getting so dark, I can't see my own hand!" Helga snapped at Arnold.
They soon decided to seek refuge under a tree. The trunk was a little damp but it was shelter nevertheless.
"What'd you got?" Helga asked Arnold. "Umm…Canteen, sword and some wire, you?" Arnold replied.
"A little food, a rope, knife, a dozen arrows I nicked off Sid and a bow I got off Stinky".
"Wow, that's a lot!" Arnold said proudly as if he had gotten that himself.
Suddenly, the roof of the dome shone a bright light through the trees. The capital anthem played and its emblem appeared on the roof of the dome.
"A dead tribute!" Arnold exclaimed.
The emblem soon faded and a face appeared. It was hard to make out the face at first but the smiling face of Phoebe was visible.
She had her best glasses, had a small smile on her face with a hint of despair, and she had her training outfit on. A big title, District 5 was right under her. Then the anthem stopped playing and the face soon faded.
"Oh my god, that's-" "Phoebe died?" Helga interrupted, a little weakened.
She crouched down on the wet grass and hid her head in her knees and cried.
Gerald stood there under the mighty oak, tied to its base. He had spent the night there, and was forgetting what it felt like to walk.
He had stood there while Phoebe was carried into a hovercraft to be shipped off to her district. He had seen her sweet face appear on the dome, smiling.
But the face she had when she died was the face of terror. The face of pain.
He stood there envying the careers eating that fox, thinking if her had just went along with Arnold, then he wouldn't be in this mess. Sheena got up and noticed Gerald's sadness.
"Hey Gerald, want some foxtail?" Sheena asked.
"No thanks" Gerald managed to grumble out.
"How 'bout some water, you must be thirsty" Sheena asked with a hint of frustration in her voice.
"Go away, Sheena!" Gerald yelled.
The other careers looked at him like an alien trying to shake hands.
Rhonda approached him swaying.
"Listen, we've been generous enough to keep you alive, we should've killed you but, because we're so nice, we won't yet. I want a nice morning eating foxtail WITHOUT you bugging me!" Rhonda sneered.
"My Princess, I will gladly kill this boy!" Curly said excitedly.
"No, I must kill him myself." Said Rhonda.
"He will be used as bait. He will scream for help and his little friends will come to the rescue, that's where you kill them, Curly," Sheena said with quick thinking.
"You know Sheena, I like your thinking. I'm starting to think it was a good idea to keep you alive".
"She was my best friend!" Helga sobbed loudly.
"Shh! Helga! Please me more quiet, somebody might hear us" Arnold whispered.
"I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye or sorry!" Helga sobbed real loudly.
"Please Helga-"
"I'M SORRY PHOEBE, I'M SORRY!" Helga yelled into the air.
"Look, Helga, I'm sorry Phoebe died but we have to stay quiet" Arnold snapped.
Helga stopped crying, wiped the tears out of her eyes and looked Arnold, as if she was staring deeply into his soul.
"I have nothing to go back to," Helga said quietly.
"What?"
All of a sudden a yelp was heard through out the arena.
"HELP, ARNOLD, HELP THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME! Gerald yelled.
"That's Gerald, we have to save him!" Arnold said panicked.
"Okay, fine, If we have to" Helga groaned.
Arnold took out the sword while Helga slowly grabbed her bow and singed the arrows around her shoulder.
"Lets Go!" Arnold whispered loudly.
At the career camp, Rhonda was pointing a sword at Gerald's throat.
"Scream louder" She whispered in his ear.
"FOR GODSAKE'S HELP ME!"
"WE'RE COMING GERALD" Arnold screamed as he raised his sword.
Suddenly Curly jumped out of the bushes screaming like a maniac. He shot an arrow but luckily Arnold ducked just in time.
He sliced Curly's chest but shut his eyes and looked away just in time to not see the blood.
But, there was blood all over Arnold's sweater so it didn't really matter.
When he looked at the camp, he realized the awful truth. It was a trap.
"Why didn't Curly get you?" Rhonda said shockingly.
"I took care of him," Arnold said proudly. But realized what he had said and decided to shake it off.
"Sheena, grab the stuff" Rhonda said cautiously.
"I got it all Rhonda" Sheena said proudly.
"Good, lets cheese it" Rhonda said slowly.
The last thing she did was jab Gerald with the sword so deep, that he was stuck to the tree, trying to move his limbs slowly.
"Gerald!" Arnold yelled.
"Arnold, my man" Gerald said very weakly.
"What happened?" Arnold said slightly sobbing.
"It was Sheena, man, she killed Phoebe" Gerald said lightly slowly.
With that being said, he nodded his head down not to ever look up again.
"NO! Please Gerald, you're not dead! No!" Arnold yelled.
Before Arnold could take his eyes off Gerald, Rhonda and Sheena were long gone.
DISTRICT 4
For the second time, the first with Mary, District 4 kissed their hands and raised 3 fingers in the air.
But Jamie-O felt a surge of anger in his body. He broke through the tight ring of peacekeepers around the crowd and started to ram into everything he could find.
Some of the other people started to feel the anger too and started to break everything including the barrels of fish that were to be shipped to the capital.
Arnold looked at Gerald for one last time then walked off in despair.
He then, suddenly realized, where's Helga?
He has a quick panic attach before finding her feet lying on the ground next to curly.
He slowly approached Helga then seeing her looking back at her weakly. She had a pile of leaves on her body.
"Helga, what happened?" Arnold said with confusion.
"I umm… I think I tripped on a log. I'm fine" Helga said weakly.
"Okay then, Helga". "Lets get these leaves off" Arnold said calming down.
He then started to brush all the leaves off her body.
He stood up with horrible sickness and sadness.
The arrow that Curly had shot was lodged deeply in Helga's shoulder.
