Deanie's POV #12
His blue eyes look deeply into mine as he puts something in my pocket. "Show em' what you got." The peacekeepers pull him away from me and I feel that my body is pulled further away as well.
I grip the trident tight in my hand as I slither out of the crevice. I jump out and strike blindly in the darkness.
"Deanie." Mailey whispers. "Its just me." I stop swinging my trident.
"I'm sorry." I say digging the three points into the rock. "I had a weird dream." I scratch the back of my neck. "You can sleep now." She gives me anod then walks over to the crevice.
Once she is settled into the crevice carefully, I walk over to sit on the log and lean my trident against the log and grab my jacket. I grab the piece of paper that Finnick gave me from my coat pocket and shove it in my pant pocket. I don't want to think of Finnick at the moment. Although I do believe I have hope to live now, but it will be a hard fight to beat when everyone else will be trying to kill us. I do also believe it could cause both me and the ones I love pain in the future if I do succeed in defying the Capitol. I don't want anyone else to suffer.
I hold the trident at my side and glance around in the dark. It should be light in an hour or so. She let me sleep way too long. I'll let her sleep longer tomorrow. I look over at where Mailey is sleeping and see something move in the dark. I rub my eyes to clear them. When I open them I see the object again, this time only a foot away from the crevice. I jump up and throw my trident at the object. I slightly jog over and see a orange and grey snake hit by all three of the spikes. I don't recognize this snake but I don't want to find out if its poisonous. I grab my trident and shake the snake from the points and into the bushes. I let out a sigh. I have to be a lot more careful. I sit down where I spiked the snake and look at the crevice.
"I wont let anything happen to you Mailey." I whisper. I gently place my trident on the volcanic rock and look up at the sky. I missed The Fallen report, but I did hear the cannons and know that only 6 tributes are left. I don't know about the other tributes but I feel that me and Mailey can change the rules of the games if we wanted to. We cannot be controlled as easily as others. I will not be controlled.
I hear a hiss beside my ear and bring my trident up from the ground. I turn my head and see the orange a grey snake inches from my face. His black eyes bore into mine. I don't give the snake any second to strike. As I bring the trident up, the snake lunges towards my neck. I feel a light pinch at first, but in a few seconds a gruesome pain shoots through my body. A whimper escapes my throat and as my body goes limp my trident makes a loud clang from falling out of my hand. I reach for the snake at my neck but I can't grip anything. My hand has gone numb. It feels wet. I look down at my hand and see blood. Mailey stands in front of me and brings the knife to my throat.
"Deanie!" She screams. I look up at her face weakly. My eyes become heavy and then they close completely.
