Tributes, it has gotten down to the finals. Today at a certain time, we will have a feast. Not an actual feast, but a feast when we place bags that contain your districts number on it, and you will have to come to the cornucopia to get it. The districts who are still left will not be mentioned, you have to go to the cornucopia to find out. We cannot start the feast and give you the items, medication, and meals that you might need to survive. So please, move yourself from the cornucopia. That is all for now, more announcements will come on later today.
''He's talking about me.'' Colton sighed. ''I should get moving before tributes figure out what he just said.''
''What does he mean by please leave the cornucopia?'' Senwe thought to herself. ''Someone's there! Oh wow, I hope it's one of the threats. I can't afford to have these masculine male and female tributes still in the way, but I can't kill myself. I just have to hope for someone to get them.''
''Hey!'' Isaac shouted from above.
''Ahh!'' Senwe shouted as she slowly looked up.
''Hey, don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you.'' Isaac looked down on her from a high tree branch.
''How'd you get up there?'' Senwe asked.
''I climbed up on top of it while you were sleeping. I didn't wanna disturb you, and I definitely wasn't gonna kill you.'' Isaac smiled.
''Why wouldn't kill me?'' Senwe asked.
''Because you're so innocent. You won't kill, and you're definitely not a threat.'' Isaac winked. ''Plus, I like you. And, I felt bad that you lost your partner.''
''You lost yours too, right?''
''Yeah, she died back at the cornucopia on the first day. I regretted not running with her.'' Isaac sulked.
''At least you're still alive.'' Senwe tried to lighten the mood.
''I could say the same for you.'' Isaac laughed.
''Who do you think is at the cornucopia?'' Senwe tried to conversate.
''I don't know. I think it might be that Byron guy. He seems like the type to keep going back to the center just to hunt off any prey that comes that way.'' Isaac said.
''Maybe. I just hope that someone gets him before things get serious.'' Senwe thought.
''I want to get someone from one or two 'eliminated.' Isaac quoted. ''I really think that they're threats, and once I get my win. I'll go home to district 4, and teach that punk a lesson.''
''Who?'' Senwe was curious.
''Some guy from 4. He's beat me up the day that I got reaped, but I'll show him a lesson when I get back.'' Isaac cracked his knuckles.
''What was his name?'' Senwe wondered.
''Kit. He's an ass.'' Isaac laughed.
''I bet so..'' Senwe said. ''What did you do to make him mad at you.''
''Nothing...'' Isaac darted his eyes to the left.
''Come on now, you did something. Spit it out, you can tell me. We're in a hell hole where only one survives, there's no point in hiding anything anymore.'' Senwe smiled.
''Ok, so he had a girl. I kind of seduced her, but we didn't do anything. We just kissed, and made out, and that was it.. I swear, we didn't go to far, I stopped myself and he walked in. He saw us kissing, and he chased after me. I jumped out the open window and ran to the far side of my district. We fought(It was more like a beat down) and I beat his ass(not).'' Isaac fibbed.
''Ok, sure. That's totally true.'' Senwe laughed.
''You still sad about your partner?'' Isaac asked.
''Yes.. I just, I can't imagine life without Dagan. He was my childhood friend. We were born partners, and we were always meant to be partners. I never wanted him to leave me, I loved him. Dagan was the type of guy that I would've loved to be married to, and have my own family with. But that's all gone now, and I'm sad without him.'' Senwe began to tear up.
''Hey, it's ok.'' Isaac said. ''You'll get through it.''
Isaac and Senwe parted ways, and while they were leaving, Claudia made her way to the cornucopia. She managed to get there as soon as Colton left. Colton dodged a bullet there, if he were to stay then he would have surely died.
''Damn it, they left already.'' Claudia said outloud.
''Thought that you could leave with all of our items and not tell me?'' Byron said as he made his way to the cornucopia as well.
''You need something?'' Claudia tried to piss Byron off.
''Where are my items?'' Byron asked.
''What items?'' Claudia also asked.
''Don't play dumb with me! You stole the items that we were supposed to share, and you left.'' Byron said angrily.
''Haha, what's wrong? You mad 'cuz a girl tricked you and beat you up?'' Claudia tried to mess with his head.
''What.. No, it's none of those reasons.'' Byron tried to excuse himself.
''Aww, big boy Byron isn't so tough now, is he?'' Claudia laughed.
''Stop it!'' Byron said in a loud voice.
''Stop what? Don't be intimidated by me Byron. I'm only a girl that's five feet shorter than you. It's not a big deal. Not everyone's strength is superior Byron; we certainly know yours isn't.'' Claudia tried make him suicide.
''Stop it! My gosh you're so annoying!'' Byron was holding his head.
''Is your head hurting?'' Claudia asked as if she cared.
''Yes, I have a huge headache. It hurts!'' Byron looked as if he were going to cry. His eyes were red and watery.
''Too bad that nobody gives a shit.'' Claudia laughed out loud.
''I hate you!'' Byron cried.
''Why are you crying? Byron, I thought you were this tough macho-man. Sucks that you're just a small child trapped inside a big boys body.'' Claudia said as she walked away from the cornucopia.
Byron used the one weapon that he had, and ran over to Claudia and tried to kill her. He clutched his sword and was about to swing at Claudia's neck. Claudia quickly turned around, ducked, and tripped Byron. After tripping Byron, she put him in a submission hold, and cracked his right arm. That was the arm that he also had the cut on. She pulled out one of her throwing knives, licked it, and stabbed him on the cut that he had. Byron yelled in pain and just wanted to be let go. Claudia got off of Byron and continued to move onto the courses of the arena.
''I hate you..'' Byron cried. Tears flowing down his cheeks, he wasn't as big as most people thought of him to be.
''What you did to that kid, I did not as bad to you Byron. You should be happy that I didn't kill you.'' Claudia said as she walked into the forest.
Byron crawled his way out of the cornucopia, and Colton was on his way to path of destruction. He made his way to where most of the mutations were. He found monkeys, and gorillas waiting for him. Some birds as well, Colton quickly climbed a tree that was nearby, and jumped from tree branch to tree branch. Colton was rushed, and in the act of wanting to live, he made his way to survive. He quickly went past the area where the mutations could be able to cross and climbed down the tree. He was at the safest, yet also closest part to death as Colton could imagine in this arena. Colton was just about to walk into a force field as soon as an announcement came on. One finger tip closer, and he would have been fried.
Hello tributes, it is that time. If you all make your way towards the cornucopia, you will find bags that have your district number on them. If you check inside of them, it will be everything that you might need to survive. This could go from medicine, to food, to water, to anything really. Make your way over to the cornucopia and try to survive. Good luck to you all.
As soon as she heard this, Claudia ran back to the cornucopia. She knew that there would probably be medicine that Byron needed, and she quickly got the bag. She looked inside of the bag, and she was correct. She found medicine that Byron would have needed, and she quickly climbed a tree and water as others slowly came.
''Pia, you stay here. I got this for us. There's gonna be something that the both of us need, and I'll go get it. I might get my hands dirty, but it's worth it as long as we survive.'' Cartier said.
''Are you sure? What if you get into a battle with the other tributes?'' Pia asked.
''Then I'll fight. If I can't win, then I'll just grab our bag and make my way out of there.'' Cartier answered.
Pia had a disturbed look on her face, and she wasn't confident that Cartier could do it on his own, but she trusted him and she let him go off on his own anyway.
''Cartier.'' Pia said.
''…?''
''Come back for me, promise?'' Pia said.
''Promise.'' Cartier smiled.
Pia quickly got up, ran over to Cartier and grabbed his hand. She turned him around, got on her tip-toes and kissed him. She wasn't sure if this was the final goodbye between the two, but she had a feeling in her gut that she didn't understand.
''Bye.'' Pia said.
''Cya.'' Cartier grinned.
''I'm not sure what this feeling is, but I don't trust letting him go by himself.. I don't know, I need to trust Cartier. I know that he can do it, and I won't doubt him...'' Pia thought to herself. ''I'm just not sure if letting him go by himself is the right thing to do...''
Cartier and Isaac both made their way to the cornucopia at the same time. They both stared at each other dead in the eyes.
''Round 1 begins.'' Isaac joked.
''So it has.'' Cartier cracked his neck.
Isaac had both spears clutched in both hands, and Cartier had a sword in his hand. The two looked at each other and it was silent for two minutes. The grass at the cornucopia was flowing quickly, and a cool breeze blew both of their hair covering their eyes. Cartier noticed that Isaac's hair was heavily covering his eyes and he took full advantage of that.
''Oh wow.'' Claudia giggled as she looked onto the battle. ''Two cute guys going one-on-one. Cartier is probably with Pia, and I haven't said a word to Isaac. Let's see how this ends.''
Isaac moved his hair, and saw Cartier running towards him with a sword. Five feet away, Isaac jumped back and blocked Cartier's attack with both his spears. The spears held great defense for Isaac because he knew how to wield them. Isaac kept on blocking, and continued to be defensive. Not attacking once, Isaac just kept spinning around Cartier and moving ways that he couldn't follow. Isaac was about to get hit by the sword until he spun left of Cartier's body, and pulled himself back so that trailing Cartier would fall onto the floor.
''Oh..'' Claudia said to herself from the tree above.
Isaac quickly ran to the table where the district bags were.
''So district 2 was already here, and the ones left are 12, 9, 1, and 2. Good thing to know.'' Isaac thought to himself.
''Don't ever turn your back on me!'' Cartier angrily said as he was limping.
''Stop, we don't need to fight.'' Isaac responded.
''You're the type of guy that I hate! You won't fight me because you think it's wrong. Hate to break it to you, but news flash! We're fighting to the death here! And if you won't fight back, then I'll just kill you!'' Cartier yelled.
''Fine, if that's how this game is going to be, then you leave me no choice..'' Isaac's a pissed off look on his face as if he were going to dismantle Cartier.
Isaac stabbed Cartier's arm with the spear, and smacked the sword out of his hands. Isaac held onto his spear, and stabbed Cartier in the stomach. Cartier reaching his arms up to still fight, got up as Isaac was about to leave. Cartier got up, held his stomach, and tried to run after Isaac.
''Don't.. Turn... Your... Back... On... ME!'' Cartier was coughing blood.
Isaac turned around and chucked a spear straight through the hand that Cartier was holding to stop his blood from flowing. After it past his hand, the spear went through Cartier's stomach, and Cartier fell face first onto the grass that was flowing smoothly. Falling face first pushed the spear further up Cartier's stomach.
BOOM
''You asked for it.'' Isaac said as he took his spear back from Cartier's dead body.
Isaacs eyes were bloodshot as he didn't like the sight that he saw. It made him want to cry, but he ignored the feeling. Isaac wasn't a type of guy to kill, he would fight, but would never kill.
''Two, two taken by my hands.'' Isaac sniffed.
''Ooohh, cutie from district 1 is out.'' Claudia clapped. ''Cutie from 4 is mine.''
After the fight, Byron made his way to the cornucopia. He was looking all around for the two bag, and noticed that it was gone. He looked all around, under the table and everything. The bag was no where to be found.
''CLAUDIAAAA!'' Byron yelled. Byron later passed out next to Cartier's dead body.
''Ooh, someone's mad.'' Claudia laughed. ''Messing with you is fun.''
Colton later made his way to the cornucopia. After seeing Byron passed out next to Cartier's bloody body, he quickly hopped over the both, grabbed his bag and just ran for the bushes.
''I'm never going back there, at least I hope not.'' Colton told himself.
Senwe arrived right after Colton.
''She's still alive!?'' Claudia gasped. ''Oh my, oh my. I never thought that I would see someone so irrelevant stay alive.''
Senwe made her way carefully around the area making sure that she wasn't noticed by Rosewood who was hiding across the other side from where Senwe was. Rosewood had witnessed Cartier's death, and just gasped at the sight of it. After Senwe left, Rosewood made her way across. She kicked Byron's hand away from touching her, and grabbed the seven bag. She noticed that there was something in the trees, and she spotted Claudia.
''I hope she doesn't see me.'' Claudia kept staring.
Rosewood grabbed a hammer, and chucked it at Claudia. The hammer moved quickly and Claudia had no time to react. Claudia was hit in the face with the hammer, and she fell off of the tree that she was in. Claudia had a huge cut on her forehead, and was dripping with blood from her head to her chin. Rosewood quickly left, and hid.
''Oh, I'm scared now. I'm going to get Cartier, I feel as if something bad happened.'' Pia said.
Pia sprinted her way all the way to the cornucopia. She kept getting lost in the heat of trying to find the one that she loved. She kept searching, but couldn't make her way to the cornucopia. She finally found her way to the cornucopia, and found Cartier.
''CARTIER!?'' Pia called. ''No no no no no! No!''
She saw Cartier with a hole in his stomach that was deep, and she measured his pulse. Cartier was not breathing. She saw Byron right next to Cartier with a weapon in his hand, and she thought that Byron had done it.
''Oh no. Carter! CARTIER!'' Pia cried out.
Byron awoke and looked to his right. He saw Pia trying to give Cartier C.P.R. Pia was breathing into Cartier's mouth just trying to make him breath again. Tears flowing down her face, Byron held the weapon that was in his hands and looked over at Pia.
''You, you did this.'' Pia said in a light voice.
''What?'' Byron drowsily asked.
''YOU KILLED HIM!'' Pia yelled out. ''I'll murder you Byron. I WILL viciously murder you.''
''I didn't kill your partner.'' Byron tried to say.
''Yes you did! I hate you, and I'm going to kill you, right fricken now.'' Pia cried.
Pia grabbed the sword that Cartier was using and she swung at Byron's neck. She cut his throat and stabbed every part of his body. She continued to stab Byron every where that she had already stabbed him before, and just kept on going as he held his neck to make sure that he still had enough blood to live. Pia cut deep holes inside Byron's body, and realized that Byron had almost stopped breathing. She got up and spit on his face.
''I didn't.'' Byron's last words.
BOOM
Pia stomped on Byron's dead face, and smudged the spit all over it. Pia later gave Cartier a death that he 'deserved.' She lay flowers all next to him, and she let out some berries that she found. She also looked into the bag that Cartier grabbed. There were nets and cloth, and some other items that they both would have needed. Pia put the cloth on the parts of Cartier's ripped clothes, and she put the net over him. She kissed his forehead, and head off back into the woods.
''What happened?'' Claudia asked herself.
She marched herself into the cornucopia, and saw Byron's dead body waiting for her.
''So you finally got what you deserved, huh?'' Claudia frowned. ''At least you're in a better place now, coward.''
8pm faces show up in the sky
