Todd has been running for at least an hour and a half so decides to stop and tie me to a tree so he can look through my backpack.
"Why did you do this?!" I scream
"Because it's simple… come on work it out!"
"I cant okay! I can't!"
"Loverboy will come after me for you but if I hide you and say I let you go I can use your headphones to locate him on the map device attached to them. I could kill them all, win with you and you can get loverboy back from the dead, it's a new rule, one tribute can be brought back to life!"
"Take me back to him"
"No"
"Please Todd," I drop to my knees, still tied to the tree "I love him and I will be a wreck without him"
"Okay"
"What?"
"Okay if you do me a favour"
"What?"
"Kill Leah and maybe even Ash"
"Deal"
"Oh and there is a part two!"
"What else?"
"I swear I won't kill you if you camp out with me and watch the stars, it just reminds me of home…"
"Umm okay, anything to get this rope off" I laugh.
We put our backpacks in between us and lay on our backs so we camp out under the stars. I think that when he falls asleep I will make a run for it but he starts to make conversation,
"My best friend Louise and I used to camp out under the stars until she went in the Hunger Games and she died, she was 2ND place" He says sadly.
"I'm sorry to hear!" I say
"Why are you so kind to me? I mean why say sorry, why listen to me?"
"I don't have another choice"
"Oh… Thanks" He snarls,
"I could run right now!" I shout
"And I could catch you and tie you back up to a tree!"
"Want to promise that?"
"Why, are you going to try?!" He shouts
"Maybe!" I grab my bag and his spear and start to run, he runs after me so I chuck the spear in his arm, very close to his shoulder. But he pulls it out and carries on running after me. Thankfully its muddy so he slips over as I run into the forest, I see a tree and start to climb knowing that he was about to come. I sit in the fork of the tree and wait for him, he eventually comes and starts to walk slowly, making sure I wouldn't pounce on him. Alex walks out into view and shouts at Todd,
"Where's Charley?"
"She ran off! I mean she died!"
"Where did she run off to?"
"I don't know!"
I jump down from the tree and run to Alex with open arms. I bowl him over with the force of my body. I stand up and pull him up after me; Todd gets a knife and chucks it at me. My leg starts to bleed and won't stop so Alex picks me up and carries me away. Todd starts to run but gives up after a little bit knowing he can't catch us. Rochelle bandaged Martin and me up and it seems that Todd hurt both of us and not Leah, I tell everyone what Todd said and we think up a plan of what we can do.
