heyoooo! I'm so happy I got this chapter done! I will try to update tomorrow but I'm goning to a party int he afternoon so I willt TRY to get it done in the morning! If not, I will TRY to finish it tomorrow night and TRY to post it! Notice how I say TRY so that just in case, I don't update tomorrow, you know I tried! lol
So I thought I would just change it up a bit! Here's Sanden's POV :)
Sanden POV:
We leave Dahlia, to go to the feast. She's camouflage and it's not like she's going to be moving without any pain. I worry with every step I take. I have seen footage of previous feasts. At least one person dies, if not more. I hope Coltin and I will make it back to give Dahlia her medicine. If not me, Coltin. He and Dahlia love each other and maybe they can make it out together like Peeta and Katniss did. Yes, obviously I want to live but there's only one victor. I have already accepted my death and I know for a fact that I'm not getting out of this arena alive. If anyone deserves to make it out, it's Dahlia. I know Coltin will do everything possible to protect her and I will help, as much as I can.
Finally we make it to the edge of the jungle where the cornucopia lays ahead of us.
"Sanden, if I don't make it back, take care of Dahlia. She deserves to live. Tell her I love her," Coltin says, obviously more worried than I am.
"I will. And you'll make it back too. We both will," I reply. We are talking about back to Dahlia. Not back home, but I wish we were. I turn all of my focus on the cornucopia. The bag for district 8's tribute is already gone. The bags for district 1, and 2, Sanden's and mine. I study it for a long time, trying to delay it. Coltin looks at me and I nod.
"Go," he whispers and we both jump from behind the bush and run as fast as we can to the mouth of the cornucopia. As I run, I look around, searching for any more tributes but I don't see anyone. Almost there. I look over at Coltin who's looking for other tributes too. We reach the table with all the bags. I grab district 4 and Coltin grabs 12. Now all we have to do is run back into the jungle.
Then out of nowhere, Neco and Hazel come out of the cornucopia. They were hiding in there, just waiting to bounce on the next tribute. Which is us. Neco takes on Coltin and I fight Hazel.
Her weapon is a spear and I only have a knife. With every thrust, I duck. I don't try to throw my knife at her yet, because if I do, and she ducks, I am left weaponless. I don't have a moment to look over at Coltin before Hazel tries to stab me again. I duck and the spear comes only inches from me. I have to get away from her. Before she attacks me again, I kick her hand, holding the spear as hard as I can. Her weapon flies out of her hand and she falls to the ground. I throw my knife but she moves and it hits her leg. She cries out in pain, making Neco look. I grab Hazel's spear on the ground, run over to Coltin, and we both fight Neco.
"I am going to win this game!" Neco rages as he swings his sword at Coltin and he ducks. A spear isn't my best weapon, but I remember using one at the training center. I raise the spear but Neco's too quick. His sward collides with the spear, and he pushes me down. I fall hard to the floor and I try to get up but Neco is standing above me, sword raised, ready to kill me off.
Then Neco stumbles and turns around, facing Coltin, That's when I see a large gash on the back of his leg. Thanks Coltin. Neco holds his sword up, ready to strike him. I try to get up buts I'm too late. The sword swings down and hits Coltin. He falls to the ground and before I can think anything else, I raise the spear and throw it at Neco's back. He yells in pain and falls to the ground as well. I look behind me to see Hazel already near the jungle, limping away. I stand up and 2 cannons fire. The fiercest tribute in the arena is dead. Coltin's dead. I can't believe he's gone. I walk over to Coltin and kneel down. I grab the district 12 bag from his back and I make a promise.
"I'm sorry Coltin," I whisper. "I'll take care of Dahlia… she will win, I promise," I say to Coltin before standing up. I take on last look at Coltin and I walk away, not caring to chase after Hazel. I run back into the jungle before anyone else could attack me.
I walk back to Dahlia feeling very tired. It's all my fault Coltin's dead. He saved my life and I could have done the same. How do I tell Dahlia this? Then I remember what Coltin told me before we ran into the feast.
"Tell her that she deserves to win. Tell her I love her."
And that is what I will tell her. He died to save my life. He died to save her life. Coltin is one of the bravest person I knew.
On the bright side, when the last battle comes down, Dahlia won't have to battle Neco. And I will make sure that Dahlia will be the victor. For Coltin. And for the Mellarks. They deserve to have their daughter back. These games are hard to play. I don't want to die. But I have to. And I know it.
I finally make it back to Dahlia. She hasn't moved and she looks like she's asleep. I set my stuff down and I pull the medicine out of the bag. I kneel besides Dahlia and I remove her leaves. It got worse. I gently rub the medicine onto her side and I feel her tense up. I guess she isn't sleeping. As I rub the medicine on, I feel her relax.
"That feels much better," She says. I close up the medicine and I go on the other side of Dahlia so that she can see me. "Thank you, so much," she says and I nod my head. Then she looks around and here comes the question I was dreading to answer.
"Where's Coltin?"
Grab the tissue box! I'm actually tearing up! This was one of the saddest chapters I ever wrote and I'm sorry to kill him off. Please don't be mad at me! Cause seriously, I have a plan and I know what im doing! :) Trust me! lol Please don't hate me because of this chapter!
