Not Everyone Gets a Lullaby

The tributes of the 74th annual Hunger games. Not encountered much by Katniss, but each other? Each tribute's death scene.

13. Determination

District 7 Male

I'm so determined to get something from the bloodbath that I forget why its called a bloodbath. I jump down from my pedestal as soon as the gong rings out, but I'm still slower than most of the tributes.

I reach a backpack and shield myself with it from a knife that's thrown by some girl with dark hair. I see a little boy, the one from 4, hiding out in the Cornucopia. I bolt away, since I'm only about 10 meters from the metal sculpture myself.

Then I get jerked back, probably from the backpack. I turn around and it's the girl from 9. Her reddish hair covers her eyes. She sticks something in my side. I can't tell what it is.

Pain, searing pain, immerses everything for a second, then goes blank.

I fall down and look over. It's a sword. My head falls and I curl over.
