''Sir!'' Darius entered the presidents office.
''Yes, what is it Darius?'' The president wondered.
''It's the final four, and the gamemakers want to ask you for permission to use the DNA of the dead tributes to make mutations out of them.'' Darius said.
''Hmm let me see what's in your hand.'' The president ordered.
''Here sir.'' Darius handed over the envelope.
President Real grabbed the envelope and opened it up. Inside of the envelope, there were blood samples of each tribute that had been killed. The gamemakers already mixed their blood of the tributes with the gorilla mutations. The mutants were in a jar though, they were not let out without getting permission from the president.
''Interesting..'' The president said.
One of the samples were shown as an example for the president. It was the blood of Allison, the girl from twelve. Her mutation had the largest coat of hair and was one of the smallest, but quickest.
''Tell them that I do give them permission use their DNA. I'm looking forward to seeing what they might do. Go on now Darius, tell them that I want these mutations to go after the final 4, today.'' The president said.
''Yes sir.'' Darius walked out of the office.
Gamemakers room
''Hey, Cet. President Real has given you permission to use these blood samples, and fuse them with the gorilla mutations. He says to not waste time, and get them through today. He's in a hurry for a winner to be decided. Got it?'' Darius told the head gamemaker.
''Thank you Darius, tell the president I won't disappoint him.'' Cet smiled.
Darius walked out of the room, and Cet got the blood samples of all the other the other dead tributes. He quickly brought 20 tribute samples to the mutation area of the gamemaker room.
''Coria, would you mind mixing in all the samples and putting them in the arena?'' Cet asked his assistant.
''No problem, Cet. Would you like me to also make the chase the tributes towards each other?'' Coria asked.
''Yes please. The president wants these games to be over with. He hates waiting long, but you know this already.'' Cet said.
''No problem.'' She answered.
In the Arena
''OOOOOOOOO'' This noise was heard all around the arena.
''Is that a gorilla sound?'' Colton asked himself.
As Colton knows the noise that gorilla's make, he quickly assures himself to run and don't look back. He ran and ran, but he kept looking around to make sure that there weren't any of the gorillas following him. Colton got scared, and the bags that he held were heavy for him. He took the important items that he needed from his bag and put them into Ally's bag. He kept it because he wanted to remember her for all that she's done for him. It took him a while to put them all in because he was afraid of the gorilla's coming after him. He knew that if he were to get caught, then he would surely be dead. He dropped some items, and finally got them all placed. He dropped his bag, and as soon as he got up, he saw a pack of five gorillas chasing him. Colton kept running, and he wanted to live.
''Oh man!'' Colton said while running away.
As Colton was running, different packs of gorillas were running after the other three tributes that were left. Senwe was just fixing her tent until five angry gorillas jumped over the bushes that she was in front of. The gorillas pounded their chests telling Senwe that she needed to get out of that area. She grabbed her water bottle, and ran. Senwe ran as far as she could. She quickly made her way past the muddy part of the arena. It seemed as if the arena was really small because many tributes ran past the same parts over and over again, but there was much more to it that any tribute was yet to discover. Senwe made her way to where Claudia was and the two looked at each others eyes.
''Here we go..'' Claudia smiled.
As soon as Claudia said that, two packs of five gorillas jumped from both left and right from the trees that were there. She looked up and saw Senwe making her way towards the cornucopia. As she made her way there, Claudia was quickly running right behind her. The only thing that Claudia had in her hand was the medicine that was supposed to be for Byron. She quickly sprinted her almost catching up to Senwe who made her way on top of the tree where Claudia was knocked off of. The tree had a higher elevation that Claudia didn't realize, and Senwe did so she made her way up there. Claudia saw Senwe, and she climbed up the tree as well. The gorillas couldn't make their way up there though for some reason, and the answer was unknown. Claudia got to the part where she was knocked off of, but she couldn't find Senwe. Senwe was on the highest elevation, and she was safe where she was.
''Oh my... That was too close..'' Senwe was hyperventilating.
As Colton made his way to the cornucopia, he turned around and saw the pack getting closer to him. He looked and saw a gorilla that looked like the male from 11. They both had similar features, and the male from ten was right behind him. He tried to jump onto Colton to devour him, but Colton swung the heavy bag that he had, and it made the mutation bump into the other ones. Colton looked up to see Senwe at the highest point, and Claudia peering down on him. He saw gorilla mutations trying to climb up the tree, and he knew that if they spotted him, then he would surely die. Colton quickly swerved right to climb on top of another tree. He made his way up on top of the tree, and it occurred to him that the arena was a rainforest. The fog, the mud, the rain. It all seemed to clear it up for him. Colton started coughing for some reason, and he didn't know why. The gorillas heard the cough, and quickly ran towards him. Colton tried to make his way up a tree, but kept sliding down; he couldn't hold on. He began to cry, he didn't want to die. Colton jumped off the tree, and quickly started to run to a different location.
''Look at him squirm. I kinda feel bad for him.'' Claudia thought to himself.
''No...'' Colton cried.
He ran into the forest where Claudia left all her bags. He was far ahead of the gorillas and looked into her bag because he still had time left. He took two knives, and a water bottle that Claudia didn't discover in her bag. He quickly continued to run and made lefts and rights to confuse the gorillas. It worked for a while where the gorillas kept bumping into each other and hit trees. He finally jumped onto the tree where Senwe and Claudia were. He took both the knives that he grabbed and stabbed them into the tree. He pulled them out one by one, and continued to climb the tree. He finally made his way to the area where Claudia was, and that's where Claudia tried to start conflict.
''How'd you get up here? You were supposed to die!'' Claudia said angrily.
''Shut up!'' Colton said with tears in his eyes.
''Oh, don't worry. I'll finish the job that those apes couldn't do!'' Claudia cracked her knuckles.
''Leave me alone.'' Colton hid the knives that he had.
Claudia looked into her pocket to find out that she didn't bring the knives that she had.
''Crap! My knives!'' Claudia shouted.
A sigh of relief was shown on Colton's face, but Claudia didn't give up. She quickly jumped onto Colton to try and choke him to death. She had him on the ground trying to gasp for air, until he kicked her off of him. Coughing and wheezing Colton was just trying to survive.
''Stop... I.. Don't want to fight... A girl.'' Colton coughed.
''That's not my problem.'' Claudia laughed.
In the mean time while they were doing that. Senwe just looked from up top thinking if she should do anything. She felt guilty letting Colton be hurt by a monster like Claudia. As Senwe was thinking, Rosewood was playing with the dirt that was on the floor. She sighed thinking about district 7 and Ewan. She grabbed her bag, and thought that it was time to start moving again. She never really looked inside her bag, and she saw that there was a water bottle for her in there, and a throwing ax that she could use. She smiled at the thought of her escort being so generous.
''Thank you.'' Rosewood smiled. ''How are you doing up there, Ewan?''
Rosewood just thought of the fact that he was in a better place, and didn't have to suffer anymore through any of the terrible problems that he might have had.
''I bet it's awesome up there isn't it. At least you aren't in a terrible place like the one under me right now.'' Rosewood thought. ''I feel as if I'm in purgatory right now except we have to kill one another to see who stays. But, why would we want to stay in purgatory where we have to remember the pain and suffering that we went through when we could be up there where you are, and where some of the other tributes are right now.''
''It's way better than being where Byron would go to, hell. Cartier, Pia, Arthur, Lectra, Isaac, Nila, Oswald, Amell, Jet, Helen, you Ewan, Denim, Calico, Dagan, Blaine, Heidi, Allison... and even Ackley, and Chisholm. Hell, even Claudia would be up there if she died, maybe..''
Rosewood wanted these games to end already. She just didn't want to go in a painful way, she kind of wanted the other tributes to kill her. She knew that being where all the other tributes were in heaven was better than being in a living hell like she was in now. She heard noises and quickly looked over to her right. Her hair flew right in front of her red eyes that were tearing up. There was a strong breeze flowing through, and she stood there holding an ax in her hand while every other necessities that she had were in a bag. She stood straight up, and looked as she saw five angry gorillas pounding their chests run after her. Rosewood tried to run as far as she could, but it wasn't easy for her to get away from them. They cornered her from in front, the right and left, and even behind her. She quickly hit her ax on ones chest and was able to run. The gorilla that she had just killed had similar features to the girl from 6.
''Oh my god.. Another attack.'' Rosewood cried.
She quickly ran and made her way to the cornucopia. Four packs of five apes were all there. They all heard the noises that Rosewood made in the grass, and twenty gorillas were all cornering her.
''There's no way that I can escape this.'' Rosewood thought to herself.
Luckily for her, they left an open space that was in between two apes. One looked exactly like her district partner and the other one looked like Pia. They were both small apes but had incredible speed. Every ape chased after her as she made her way through the open space, except for the one that looked like Ewan. It stopped, and just looked at her as she ran.
''Oohh.'' Was all it said as it looked at Rosewood run.
She turned around and smiled at it. Colton was staring from above as this happened, and saw Allison's mutation look-a-like. He smiled at it while tears were still flowing from his eyes. Senwe was watching everything from the highest point of that tree, and scoped out to see Dagan's. She quickly saw it next it Isaac's look-a-like.
''Two great people.'' She thought to herself. ''Isaac and Dagan.''
Rosewood was fighting them off as she climbed up on top of the tree that everyone was at. Claudia was still trying to make her way to choke Colton. It was futile because Colton wouldn't let it happen. The cut that Claudia had on her forehead was starting to bother her like crazy. She let Colton have a break while she put on the medication for Byron. Rosewood killed of at least six apes, but she didn't both to mess with the others. She killed Dagans, Isaac's, Oswald's, Lectra's Helen's, and Ewan's.
''Rest in peace, buddy.'' She said looking at Ewan's mutation.
''Rest in peace, Dagan and Isaac.'' Senwe smiled sadly as her hair blew in front of her face.
Rosewood climbed the tree and made her way to the area where Colton and Claudia were. Colton spotted her, and kept moving away from Claudia. The area was not large so Colton had to watch where he was going. He kept dodging her attacks and then she just stopped and starting screaming.
''AHHHHHH'' Claudia yelled. ''My head!''
The medicine that Claudia put on her head was supposed to be for Byron's right arm. She made a mistake by using it because in the capitol, they have medicine's that are painful to other parts of the body which can sometimes lead to excessive pain. Claudia began to cry at the pain on her forehead. She quickly spotted Rosewood.
''You! You did this to me!'' She said as she tried to attack Rosewood.
This was the moment where Senwe knew she would have to help, and Colton knew it was time to eliminate the biggest threat. Colton quickly stabbed Claudia in the back with one of the knives that he collected and threw the other one to Rosewood.
''I'm sorry, I would never hurt a lady, but you're just a monster!'' Colton said to Claudia.
Claudia screamed at the pain in her back. Rosewood caught the knife that Colton threw to her and stabbed Claudia in her stomach.
''AHHHHHH'' Claudia yelled at all the pain that she had.
As she kept on yelling and tried to hold every bleeding part of her body, Senwe dropped down and kicked Claudia in her face. Rosewood grabbed her ax and hit her in the back which made it even worse for Claudia. The pain wouldn't go away. Rosewood quickly grabbed the hammer that was in her bag and swung it at Claudia's head. It was one the last blows that they would give the Claudia. Claudia began to cry and yell at the pain that she had every where. She felt as if her head was about to explode, and her back was just a terrible feeling for her. All three looked at each other and nodded their heads with a smile. Senwe, Colton, and Rosewood all knew that it was Claudia's time to go. After all that she's done to the other tributes by killing and manipulating them all.
''What are you guys doing!?'' Claudia cried and yelled.
''DON'T TOUCH ME!'' Claudia yelled out while looking at all three of them.
The three pushed Claudia off of the tree and all high-fived each other. Rosewood and Ewan looked from the area that they were in while Senwe slowly and quietly climbed up on top of the highest point of the tree again. Claudia's fall took a while to happen but when she did, she was quickly knocked out. Ewan got the water bottle that Claudia never used, and drank out of it. Rosewood just looked at him drinking the water with her throat being parched. He caught her eye, and gave her some of the water. She quaffed a little bit of the water and gave it right back to Colton.
''Thank you.'' Rosewood smiled.
They all looked down at Claudia knocked out on the floor. The gorillas heard a giant thump, and started to beat Claudia. Hitting her with their fists, biting her, and swung like angry little children. They jumped onto Claudia's body. 14 Angry 400 pound gorilla mutations all continued to beat the unconscious Claudia.
BOOM
''It's over...'' Senwe thought to herself.
''Wow, district 2.. Both were dangerous, but at least it's over.'' Colton said to Rosewood.
''Yeah, but there's still three of us.'' Rosewood sadly said.
''Where's Senwe?'' Colton asked.
''I don't know. Maybe she snuck away while the gorillas were attacking Claudia.'' Rosewood said.
''Yeah, you're probably right.'' Colton smiled.
''How will this end?'' Rosewood asked.
''I don't know but hey. On the bright side, I'm still in this...'' Colton said with the happiest face that he could make.
Rosewood laughed. ''You're adorable.''
''Thank you ma'am.'' Colton smiled.
''Weren't you the one who wasn't confident in himself?'' Rosewood asked.
''Yeah, but that's changed.'' Colton said.
''That's good. I should take tips from you.'' Rosewood suggested.
''Maybe.'' Colton laughed. ''The boy from 12 with a low score and crooked teeth is still in with the two girls who got an 11. I feel good about myself.''
''Good for you!'' Rosewood clapped.
8pm faces light up in the sky
District 2 Claudia
''The three of us won't let one another win. I know it for a fact. Rosewood will be nice for now, but she won't really let us get off with the win. Colton and I don't have it in our hearts to kill one another. It's looking on the bright side for Rosewood.'' Senwe sighed.
''She's sleeping... She's such a nice person, but... I don't want any of us to die. I would like all three of us to live, but it won't happen. The gamemakers will change the tide one way or another.'' Colton thought to himself.
President's office
''Sir, did you enjoy the performance that the tributes put on today?'' Head gamemaker Cet asked.
''It was very pleasing, but I would have preferred a winner today.'' President Real answered.
''We shall have a winner very soon.'' Darius said.
''That's good to hear. I want one either tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. No later, if so, you're heads will be on a plate for me do you understand?'' The president asked.
''Yes sir.'' Both Darius and Cet answered.
The two walked out of the office and went back into the gamemakers room. They looked at all the mutations that they had planned for this arena and they used all of them. They ran out of ideas to use for this arena, but had a ton for the others that were going to come up. They looked at each other and spoke to one another. They both knew that the tributes just luckily had to kill each other. They hoped that the tributes would all turn on one another, and that was all they could do, hope.
The capitol people went crazy looking at middle-class districts and one poor district. District 12, the poorest district of them all, and seven and nine, two middle-class districts in the final three. District 12 was throwing parties back at home. Colton's mother and Allison's mother were both talking to each other, it was just the right thing to do is what they thought, to talk to each other.
In district 7, they had pieces of tree barks being placed up on top of the entire district. Every part of the district was throwing a party, and Rosewood's family was highly spoken to. Ewan's family was taken care of by the other families, and they all got together to hold a funeral for Ewan. They all prayed for Rosewood to win and come back home.
In district 9, they had Senwe's family pictures being held up all around the center part. They also red coatings hanging up to remember the only red colored hair girl in the games. Not ginger red, but red. Like bright red colored hair. They knew that Senwe wasn't a fighter, but she sure didn't give up. They all celebrated for her making it into the final 3, and just wanted her to come home.
In district 2, they all mourned for Byron and Claudia. Claudia's whole family was in tears. Her mother cried and yelled punching the walls in their home. She wanted a do over and wanted to make things different with her daughter. They both ended on a wrong note, and didn't have their last words together. Claudia's whole family was in a state of being depressed.
Back at the arena, every tribute was sleeping. Neither one wanted to kill one another. By morning, things would be a whole different story. Someone's gonna have a change in emotion, and it might cost them their lives or someone else's life in that arena. Will the emotions change the tide of the arena? Will two team to get rid of one? Will the alliance work out? The end is near for the 1st Annual Hunger Games.
