Day 14

Hey guys; so I'm gonna try and get a chapter up every 2 or 3 days rather than having these unscheduled week gaps. Sorry though, I really am trying. Enjoy the Chapter and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour!

Angel West POV

God my brain is hurting like a bitch; I didn't get a lot of sleep and the sleep I did get was spent in a nightmare. It's pretty weird actually because Cersai was in it. She was screaming for help but even though I felt like I should be helping, I didn't. We're not friends but it'll be my fault if she dies or if she's dead already. I can't see her. Maybe she's been back; maybe I just wasn't awake to see her. As I sit up I see a slight movement in Juliette's sleeping bag.

"Juliette; I know your awake" I pull the edge of the sleeping bag still keeping slight caution but to my relief her small brown eyes stare back at me from inside "Have you seen Cersai?"

"No; I don't think she's come back since last night. Did you see her leave?" Juliette asks.

"Yes; she said she was going to get supplies. She could be captured or dead or just plain lost. I'm gonna have to go and find her."

I pick up my bow and arrows and get up to go.

"I'll come with you" Juliette looks around for a weapon.

"No; it could be dangerous and besides, someone should stay with Ares" I suggest.

"Well we could wake him up; please don't go alone."

"There's no time!"

I rush off before she can stop me. I consider calling Cersai's name but my instincts say otherwise. It's no good me drawing attention to myself. But I'm used to running; I can cover a lot of ground quickly.

"Angel?" her voice catches me so off-guard a briefly skid on the ground when I try to stop running.

"Oh thank god" I turn around but nobody's there "Wait where are you?"

"Why don't you open your eyes you little bitch?"

I look up Cersai pounces on me from the tree. A sharp pain pierces my stomach; Cersai smirks and shows me the bloody sword.

"Where did you get that?" I cough as I speak and red specs appear on my shirt.

"Let's just say I had a little help from the girl from 7" Cersai replies before she stabs me again.

"Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do to you?"

"It's not what you did to me; it's what you're doing to Ares. Did you enjoy screwing up his heart you witch?"

"I love him and he loves me. Ares! ARES!"

"He won't hear you; you might as well know this but the Capitol knew about you all along. They made me stronger; they gave me every advantage I need to destroy you."

"I always knew you were fucking insane."

"I am NOT insane."

She stabs me in the torso this time; death is unavoidable now. But I won't let her win.

"This- is all you need to know nutjob; you can kill me but no matter what you do, Ares will always love me and he'll take you down. ARES!" I scream again; Juliette will know why I'm not calling for her help.

She'll know what I want her to do. Cersai rests the sword's tip on my lips.

"He won't find out; now shut your dirty little mouth."

BOOM

Riddell Thicket POV

"Now this is a pretty basic technique but since you're a beginner, I'm gonna do the hard part" Aurora explains.

"If I'm a beginner then why are we targeting the Careers?" I ask confusedly.

"Because, if we start with high risk situations then you won't feel as panicked by the lower risk ones."

I nod; Aurora's a pretty good teacher. We're running out of supplies so she's trying to teach me how to steal stuff. I'm scared to start with the Careers but I'm not showing it. Aurora says even a minute of fear can impact the whole plan.

"Alright I'll be the distraction; on my cue, go on the tree directly closest to the left of the supplies where Whittier is. That's the most dangerous part of this so be careful."

"I thought you said you were gonna do the dangerous part."

"No I told you I would do the hard part and I am; being a distraction means you're responsible for the other person as well as yourself. Your life depends on whether I can keep the Careers attention; that means thinking about who your distracting, why they'd pay attention and if you have multiple targets, how you can connect all of their distraction methods together. Now, when you get the chance don't get greedy; I'll signal you when they're all focussed on me but get in there, grab some food maybe a lighter or something and get out."

"What about weapons?"

"The Careers protect their weapons like mother bears protect their cubs; somehow I don't think you're ready."

We both climb down the tree; here goes nothing.

Scout Parker POV

"This is so the life" Whittier smiles at me.

I ignore her; I just want to go and see Juliette again. I feel something with her that I haven't felt with Whittier.

"Well, well; if it isn't little Auri Felici" Lupus snarls as she comes towards us.

"Shut up dick. I've come to make a deal" she backs away slightly.

"Why would we wanna make a deal with you traitor?" Whittier spits.

"Because I'm expendable; I've got no one to go back to now. I want to help you."

"Hey Aurora" Santana puts in.

"Oh hi Santana."

"Nice day?"

"Meh, I've had better."

"Would you two stop flirting?" Whittier hisses.

"Why are you jealous?" Santana sneers.

"Let's just kill this slut" Lupus shoots an arrow towards Aurora who neatly jumps out the way.

Aurora bends her head sideways then runs; I realise what it means.

"She was a distraction! We've been ransacked!" the four of us look around but it's too late.

"Shit!" Lupus throws his bow on the ground angrily.

"Oh look the baby's freaking out again" Santana snorts.

I put my hands over my ears and let them argue. When I look up again a small container sits in front of me; I open it and a label reading "A gift from the god" falls out along with a flash light. I don't know how it's gonna help me but heck, what can right now?

Ares Tower POV

Cersai comes back alone; she looks petrified and her clothes are covered in blood.

"Cersai what happened? Where's Angel? Are you ok?" I hold her by the shoulders to stop her shaking.

"I-I'm fine but Ares- Angel's dead" Cersai says the words with such horror it's like she's reliving the moment.

"She's gone; Angel's gone?"

"Oh Ares I'm so sorry; I did what I could I swear."

I don't know what to do; everything else is forgotten. Angel didn't deserve to die; she was good. She was funny. I loved her. But now she's gone.

"You didn't help her" Juliette says suddenly.

"What? What are you talking about?" Cersai's voice becomes panicked.

"I heard her screams; I tried looking for her but I didn't know where you were. But I heard everything. She killed Angel Ares; she's never liked her."

"You're lying; she's lying Ares!"

"Juliette doesn't lie Cersai" I say sternly "Did you do it? Did you kill Angel?"

Cersai blushes; then her whole face turns red.

"Fine! I did it; I killed the bitch! But I did it for you Ares; she was screwing you over. You don't know anything about her."

"What I did know was enough!"

"Angel West was a liar and a traitor!"

"Fuck you! Angel's worth a million of you!"

Juliette grabs my arms in an attempt to hold me back but she won't be able to hold me for long.

"You know what?" Cersai smiles "I don't need you losers. I'm gonna win this alone; just know it'll be the two of you that force me to spill the blood of innocents."

She walks away and I look up into the darkness.

District 8: Angel West

I cry for her. But I feel no shame.

Sorry that the end wasn't that good but I really wanted to finish this chapter. I've thought of the next chapter already so it should be up on Saturday as tomorrow I've got two ton of school work to do. By the way, Scout's sponsor gift was as a result of the poll he won. Actually he tied with Angel so I chose between them.

Death List

27th- Lewis Simmons: I had no problem with him but I thought one of the alliances should have a loss plus I think following Ruby is the kind of thing Lewis would do. I will miss him though; he was all cheery.

26th- Mai Moonheart: I always felt so sad when I was writing for her; I had no idea what to do with her character. I thought it'd be best if I just ended her pain.

25th- Coal Hartcell: I felt kind of bad killing him because he's been pretty popular but I struggled to write for him.

24th- Terrian Demetrius: I'm sorry to his creator but he was one of the hardest characters for me to write for. I have no idea why. Plus, he was all bitchy towards Cersai and I'm thinking "this girl has enough issues without you targeting her".

23rd- Riddell Thicket: After not giving him an alliance, I didn't know what to do with him. Sorry to everyone who supported him.

22nd- Dusty Abernez: In short, I thought I should have another death and believe me, choosing who to kill off was pretty bloody hard. In the end I chose Dusty, just because I thought he'd fallen under Whittier's spell the most and was therefore most likely to do something stupid.

21st- Ruby Rachel Rodriguez: I literally chose the first person who I could think of a death for; it was the only way.

20th- Annaliese Slate: Pretty much the same reason as Ruby but also because I didn't want her death end up too cliché.

19th- Jayden Williams: He wasn't as popular as some other tributes and I thought he'd run his course.

18th- Reedman Phelps: Like Jayden, he wasn't overly popular but I did like him quite a bit; at least he died a good man.

17th- Jenneth Myra Speare: She was actually reasonably popular but I just wasn't feeling her storyline anymore; also, I unfortunately left her in an awkward position what with her critical injuries and all.

16th- Clio Slate: I just couldn't think of much more to write about him and I thought he should go out before his storyline got boring. Also, selfish as it is, I kind of felt like his death will somewhat do Annaliese good.

15th- Nicole Jade Smith: I just felt like- "You know what, she's done enough." Also, it was a crazy on crazy meet up so… WHAT THE HECK DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN?

14th- Luke Matthew Pond: I've always considered him a pretty smart character, the type that looks at things from a logical point of view so it's the not that surprising the whole Ruby thing freaked him the crap out. To be honest, I did think about him winning at some point, but after Jenneth got stabbed I was just like, this isn't gonna happen really is it? Still, an awesome character and I'm sorry to get rid of him.

13th- Angel West: Call me self centred, but I love writing for my own characters. However, Angel's story had to come to an end because I've been writing it like that I guess. Plus, love has to end in tragedy in the games. It's a shame really because I loved her and Ares as a couple.
