Chapter 13- Revelations
Katniss POV
I watch the children on the screen and tell myself that none of this is real. None of the children are killing each other. It's not real.
But it is.
I have set mutts loose on kids. Have forced the children to fight against each other. Dying, blood, weapons. All of it is too much. I tell my assistant Gamemaker to take over and go to get some shut eye.
Snow's mansion is being protected by children. The kids are a human wall between the rebels and snow. Suddenly, the sky goes black and silver parachutes begin to descend. Frozen fingers grab at the silver gifts and than the parachutes explode. I see medics running toward the children and my little duck is among them. I yell and she turns.
"Don't kill for me." she mouths.
I am puzzled as I watch my sister burn before my eyes.
I wake up with a start, determined to put the 76th Hunger Games to a stop before anymore children are killed.
Chinzie's POV
The sun begins to peek over the horizon and I yawn, untangling myself from Jacob. I shake my companion awake.
"Jacob, about last night… I was just upset."
"Yes, I know, don't worry. I know you don't have feelings for me."
I sigh. "Thank you for saving me, I should be go-"
He interrupts me, "Allies?"
"Why not."
We begin to pack up our camp and head out in an awkward silence. I am taking in our surroundings as my stomach growls obnoxiously. Just like that, a silver parachute floats down in front of us.
"Peeta." I whisper.
We begin gorge ourselves in the meat and crackers.
"Mmmmm. It tastes so good." I say. I grab my water bottle from my backpack and begin to fill up with water from the pond. Halfway through the purifying process, I hear a twig snap behind me. Both Jacob and I turn to see four Careers standing in the clearing.
I see hate and anger burning in their eyes.
They are hungry for revenge.
Roxie steps froward and growls in my face, "Thought you could get way with killing Rachadier huh? Well think again."
Lantana nods in agreement.
I growl and yell, "YOU LITTLE TURD!" I lunge at the girls and the massacre begins.
Jacob is trying to fight the two other boys but we are outnumbered. I plunge my knife into Roxie's heart and a cannon rings. Lantana cuts my leg and I moan in agony. She is on top of me and is about to deliver the death blow when a loud shrill seems to fill the Arena. With Lantana distracted, I push her off of me. Than the shrill echoes again.
Katniss Everdeen's voice fills the Arena, "Stop, Stop fighting. I-I, the 76th Annual Hunger Games has ended, everyone back away from each other. Everyone left alive, you are now the Victors of the 76th Hunger Games. Congratulations."
A hovercraft appears above us and we are plucked into the sky.
The story is done! Yay! I will post the epilogue soon! Review for a sequel!
