Cynara Vs Sean
Sean Odair (District 4)
Suddenly I felt the floor give way below me. Screams and shouts from the other careers filled my ears, I caught my breath and landed on the ground with a thump. I rolled onto my back and grabbed my elbow, it wasn't broken; that was good!
I could hear screaming from above; I stood and watched as my competitor, Cynara fell to the ground, his arms waving around as he fell. I tried not to laugh but it was a funny sight to see. He landed with a cry; I walked over to him and stood above him. He hadn't noticed me but he would any second.
Soon enough his eyes met mine and I smirked down at him. He scrambled to his feet and looked up at me. He was so young, I wondered if he was the youngest tribute left. It was a pity to kill someone so young, but that was the hunger games.
I began to reach for my sword, which was tucked in my belt, but his hand found my wrist before I reached it. I looked down at him, so he wasn't going to go down without a fight? He was strong, I had to use a great deal of strength to pull away from him and when I did it was his words which stopped me from pulling my sword.
"Please," he began. "I – I don't have a weapon. Please don't kill me when I'm unarmed." I had a spare knife, in my back pocket. I began to wonder whether I should give it to him but then I shook my head at my ridiculous thoughts.
I could almost hear my mentor's voice in my head saying, 'Just kill him, it's the Hunger Games, it's not meant to be fair.'
I reached for my sword and drew it from my belt. "You want a weapon, come and get it!" I spat and with that I charged at him and swung my sword. He ducked just in time and looped around me. At first I wondered what he was doing but then I realized; he was after my knife.
When I turned he was holding it in his hand. He looked down at it and then back at me as if he was contemplating what he should do. It's ok, I told myself, he can't even use it.
All it took was one small movement in his finger and I knew I was wrong I ducked into a crouch and it hit the wall behind me. Not quite where my head would have been but, even though it wasn't where he was aiming, I would probably have been dead.
"Good shot," I muttered. I stood up and began to charge for him. Somehow he managed to duck around me. I turned but he had already pulled the knife out of the wall.
He turned towards me and I held my sword out, the point aiming right at him. Swords always beat knives, I remembered my mentor telling me. He charged at me and ducked underneath my sword. He was small, he was fast, but I was a career. I sliced his shoulder with my sword. He winced in pain before reaching up to stab me. He managed to stab my elbow. I clenched my teeth at the pain, it was painful but bearable.
I elbowed him in the head hard enough to make him dizzy but not quite hard enough to knock him out. I kicked him in the chest; which made him fall to the ground.
I quickly pounced on top of him and held my sword at his neck. His lip began to quiver and tears filled his young eyes. How old was he? He looked about thirteen. His blue eyes stared up at me and a feeling of guilt grew in the pit of my stomach.
"Just do it, ok?" he wept. He was right; these were the hunger games, the games I had trained for, the games I had to win. I had to kill him.
He closed his eyes ready for death. I brought the sword up, keeping my free hand on his shoulder pressing him down although he had stopped moving, almost as if he had given up. I could see tears glistening on his cheeks as I plunged the sword down. The cannon fired.
I sat back and held my elbow. I could receive medical attention now. I lay back and began slowly breathing in and out.
"Sean Odair?" I looked up to see a peacekeeper holding a gun. I nodded and sat up. "This way please." I smiled and walked with him into a room which hadn't been there before. The room was very bright and white all over, inside was a hovercraft.
I climbed aboard only to be confronted by my mentor and two more peacekeepers. At least I could have a break for a while.
Jai Cobat (District 12)
The cannon almost made me lose my grip of the rocks. Either Sean or Cynara were now dead. It's most likely Cynara, I thought as he was only thirteen years old and Sean's a career. It's sad really but I can't judge Sean. I only know him as a career and I can't help but wonder whether there is more to careers than what meets the eye.
I pulled myself up and sat on a ledge which was about three quarters the way up the mountain. Tansy looked up at me and rolled her eyes. She is so much stronger than I, I can't carry on where as she looks like she could continue all day.
The mountain was a very strange shape; it is as if the game makers made it to look more like very tall but thin steps. It is easy to climb, you don't need to be the best climber but it takes a lot of effort and is very tiring.
I buried my head in my hands. As if I wasn't already sweating enough the game makers had increased the arena temperature, it must be over forty degrees. I ran my hand through my sticky hair in an attempt to stop it from sticking to my face.
Tansy pulled herself up next to me. We needed water; you would have thought that we had seen enough water to last a life time. At first I didn't want to see water ever again, but right now I needed it more than ever.
My feet dangled over the side. All it would take was one push from Tansy and I'd be dead. I'd like to think that she wouldn't do that but I couldn't be too careful.
"What happens once we get on the other side?" I breathed. She looked at me and then shrugged her shoulders.
We were already past the half way point. There wasn't any point in making an alliance now. I got to my feet and offered her my hand. She took it with a smile and a thankful nod.
It was as if the game makers were bored of seeing sweat on our forehead! A thunder storm suddenly came out of nowhere. I smiled and opened my mouth to collect the water. I heard Tansy laugh to herself. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the first time she had laughed since we were dropped in this arena.
"Let's go," I said, in a voice which I hadn't used for weeks; it was joyful.
Griffin Ivory (District 6)
I lay on my back as the water splashed down on my face. My hands were behind my head, cradling it. I closed my eyes and listened to the rain. It had a soft sound, a happy sound.
"I used to hate rain," Saffra whispered. She lay a few metres away from me in a similar position to me. "It would always mess up my hair and get my clothes wet. Today it isn't too bad," she laughed. I couldn't help but laugh along with her.
I had come to terms with the fact that my death was definite. If Saffra hadn't taken that sword from me, we would all be dead now. I've decided that if I spent my last days laughing along with Saffra, It would be better than spending my last days in fear.
Maybe Saffra could win. I'd like her to win. Then again she is just a rich kid from District 2. How did we get the same training scores? Hers should have been at least a six and mine a three.
I'm surprised I made it past the bloodbath; any extra days were just a plus. If I got to the final eight, I would be proud of myself.
Yeah...that was mainly about the fight the rest...quite peaceful. I for one really wants Jai and Tansy to make an alliance...do you? :) I don't know yet...
Anyway...sorry about Cynara! I geniuenly loved him!
