Chapter 6

Hi! I know it was kinda evil killing Zach off, but let's all be honest. He needed to go for the plot of the story to work. And I'll tell you now. It probably isn't what you think it is. Also, Zach just felt like someone that would go for the Cornucopia.

ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

I STILL DON'T OWN STUFF EXCEPT EVE, CORAL, MATTHEW ECT.

"Are you okay?" Coral asked me.

"U-Um yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

She shrugged. "I just thought you'd be sad about Zach going."

I looked at Coral while also knowing Panem was watching us. "I kinda am. Wait... so are you sad James died?"

The red-haired girl blushed. "N-no. I mean, it's not like I liked him o-or anything." Nervous laughing, sweaty palms, face as red as cherries. I knew that face. I've worn that face.

The Game-makers finally make the damn sun rise so Coral and I set off. When I knew we weren't being broadcasted, I turned to Coral.

"Now that we both know Finnick isn't watching, tell me the truth."

"Okay, Fine. I did like James a tiny bit. It doesn't mean anything though. Well definately not now. He's dead for crying out loud."

Suddenly, we heard two out-of-breath voices behind us:

"Mae, we have to keep going. Maybe we could find some more allies!"

"It's useless, Alia. We should go back before we get killed by Leah or someone else."

Coral approched the two carefully. "You could join our alliance if you wanted."

Alia and Mae looked at each other hesitantly before I stood next to my ally.

"We'd all last longer if there's four of us."

The two girls noded at us and we then continued hiking.

"Mae, Alia, what District are you two from?" I asked.

Alia answered for them both. "Mae's from 9 and I'm from 3. Also, I'm not a geek if you were thinking of saying something."

"We weren't. If were going with that, Coral would be a fisherman, Mae would be a.. grain-harvester-person and I'd be a coal-miner."

Alia nodded in agreement as we kept on walking.

"Guys, I think we should get some water." Mae said after another hour of walking.

Coral, Alia and I collapsed in agreement and we began to discuss where to get water but we swiftly went off topic.

"Who's left now besides us?"

"Alyssa and Marvin from 1, Leah and Ceasar from 2, me, Coral, Tristan from 6, Lola from 7, Oliver from 8, Mae and Luca from 9, Ant-"

BANG...

BANG..

BANG..

We all see the three dead trbutes: Luca, Oliver and Anthoni.

"I guess I spoke too soon!" Alia said. "Now there's 11 left. Jeez, we're only on the second day!"

Then we her a rhythmical chime and a capsule floats down next to Coral. She opens it and finds a spile. We all gave a sigh of relief and mouth 'Thank You' at the sky. I shove it into a near-by tree and we all took turns drinking before Alia yanked it out.

Nine days passed and so did Lilley, Lola, Marvin and Ceasar. There was only 7 of us left.

Coral asked the sky (Finnick and Panem) if we should stay in the alliance. A few hours later, she got a note saying we should stick together, eventhough it was getting dangerous. Day 11, 7 tributes, 4 in a strong alliance. We all knew we weren't all gonna get out but we wanted to stay friends for now.

Alia suggested we move on but Mae insisted that she go back for something. Long story short, four minutes and one blood-curdling scream later, the alliance was down to three and only 6 tributes remained.

"Oh, fudge," Coral said. "There's only 6 tributes left so we're gonna have the big finale tomorrow."

All 3 of us went porcelaine pale and Coral looked the most forlorn.

"Guys, Snow and the Game-makers aren't gonna let me out. They're determined to kill me because Finnick wouldn't sell himself. We should split-up unless you two want to be dead too."

Alia and I looked at Coral. "We would never ditch you and were making sure you're the one that's coming out of this arena."

"It's not worth it. They're gonna either send a career over here or make a fire-bomb down-pour or something."

I was about to say something to Coral but Claudius Templesmith's voice cut me off.

"Will all tributes report to the Cornucopia for the final showdown."

This was it. I could survive The Hunger Games...

CUT! I've realised I've been ending quite a few chapters with cliff-hangers. I'm sorry guys, but next chapter we are half-way through this story soo...

EAH HG GEEK

XOXO
