Seraphin
Rigel and I went into the castle to talk and think. Where would we go? Could we ever kill Ali or Kyrie?
The legendary voice of Mr. Templesmith rang out.
"In exactly 1 hour, every tribute will find either something they need or something they desire at the Cornucopia, as well as a note from someone at home. Don't even think about hiding inside of the Cornucopia, because it's disappearing right now. I wish you all the best of luck."
What he said was true. The ground below the golden horn disappeared and it fell into nothingness.
Then Rigel and I had something new to talk about. We decided we would go to the 'feast' of sorts. After we had come to that conclusion, we brought our lips together once again.
He was so beautiful, so familiar. I had already known that I could never live without him, but the knowledge was suddenly so much stronger.
Aurora
What did I desire? I wanted Nick and Autumn back, but no Gamemaker could do that.
What did I need? Food. Water. I had weapons, but no food.
I made my way to the center where there was no longer a Cornucopia and waited with my knife at the ready, with Autumn's sword at my side.
If anyone tried to attack me before I had my supplies to stay alive, they would lose their chance.
Kyrie
Ali and I decided to get our supplies late. To wait and get them after everyone else was gone.
Our fear was that they might be gone before then. So we waited before the second bloodbath could happen.
While we waited, we said nothing. Every now and then, we locked eyes with so much intensity.
When we locked eyes about the 20th time, I couldn't help it. I leaned in, and our lips met. She wasn't pushing me away, she was kissing me back!
It felt so surreal, but so right.
When she pulled away I saw her confusion. I muffled it with another kiss, hoping it would never be time to leave.
Emerald
I went out after what I judged to be an hour. I saw a table coming down to rest where the Cornucopia once was. The warmth in the air was amazing and I knew I would never return to the white sphere.
Aurora grabbed something and bolted off. Everything was in bags, so I couldn't see what she had.
As I went for my bag, I didn't get there in time. The emerald green fabric was splattered with red. My blood.
It took only 3 seconds. 3 seconds before I was nothing. In those 3 seconds I heard the strangled cries of my killer.
Indigo
I killed her. I panicked, and I killed a little girl. It was then I realized the true scope of the wrongs done. I grabbed my purple bag and ran.
The tears wouldn't come. I wouldn't let them. I never thought I would feel guilty killing someone. I told myself I wouldn't. But Emerald was so small, and didn't have a chance to defend herself.
Safely back in my blue sphere, I opened the sack to find a large bottle of water and a folded piece of paper.
I opened the paper to find a picture of Kai, and his note for me. He spoke of how he missed me and how the others in the rebellion were rooting for me too. Kai mentioned Kialani once and told me he didn't want me to change.
At that, I turned up my face and spoke directly to the Gamemakers.
"Katniss, what have you become? Peeta, how could you let her? By doing this, you are just as bad as the Gamemakers before you that murdered those close to you? What are you doing? All this is making you is a cold-blooded monster."
I hoped she felt at least some guilt. Then I spoke more softly. "Kai, keep with the group. They need you. You'll change the world someday. I love you."
I sat back and drank some water, quenching my horrible thirst.
Rigel
I had 2 large bottles of water and Phin got a sword, but that wasn't the heartbreaking part. I got a letter from Opal, and Phin got one from Kayla.
Each had a picture of them attached. Opal looked happy. Kayla looked just like her sister.
Opal wrote of how she missed me, and how much she liked Seraphin and thought we were perfect for each other. She ended the letter asking me to come home.
Phin cried while she read hers. When she was done she dropped the note and I could see it. Kayla wrote about how Phin didn't deserve this, that she didn't have to volunteer for her.
I did my best to comfort my girlfriend and we drank in peace.
Ali
Kyrie and I finally reached the table and grabbed our bags with no problems. Kyrie's had several arrows, and mine was reinforced and held a meal for 2, capitol style with two small water bottles full of orange juice.
As we brought it back to the green sphere, we heard crumbling noises and explosions. The white biome was falling down. Mountains and snow fell with it.
In the green sphere again, Kyrie and I sat down with our Pegasi and ate.
My note was from my mom who mostly talked about the horses and business. Kyrie heard from his 12 year old sister Libby who missed him and said she wanted him back more than she had ever wanted anything.
My final wish was granted. I got to have what might be my last meal, and I got it with Kyrie.
I feel horrible! My hat is a jerk! So many of you wanted Emerald to win, and my hat went and was a huge jerk about it!
Oh well…I guess…
Sponsor points. Everything is 8 points more expensive. By the way, I've been realizing that the end notes take up more space than the actual chapter lately.
