Yvette Volt
I listened hard to Jet's heart beat as I leant against his chest. He ran his hands through my hair which comforted me dearly.
"What if I'm in one of the next battles? I can't win," I whispered softly. He took my chin with his hand and looked into my eyes, "Yes you can," he whispered. He lent down and kissed me tenderly. I kissed him back and ran hands through his hair.
He pulled away and I looked into his eyes. What am I going to do if he dies?
"I love you," he whispered and kissed my cheek gently. I smiled and turned around to face the others, they were all starring at us in bewilderment. I blushed and sat on Jet's lap.
Silver was poking the fire with a stick not looking at us; she didn't know whether Sean was still alive. It was quite nice really, I preferred her when she wasn't speaking. That would change when he returned, that is a definite in my opinion; Cynara was just a kid.
Silver looked up at me and sighed, "What's your problem?" she demanded. I shrugged.
"Nothing, it's just weird seeing you quiet," I smirked.
Silver rolled her eyes and stood up, "Can I kill her yet?" she shouted reaching for her bow. Leonis reached it before her.
"No, "was all he said and moved the bow out of her reach. He smiled at me sweetly. I didn't even understand why he was like this. Yes I probably saved his life but it wasn't that much of a big deal.
Silver huffed, picked up a back pack and stormed off. Was she seriously leaving?
"You're kidding me right?" Leonis called after her. She turned around sharply.
"No, I'm going for a walk," she spat, tears filled her eyes and she began to run.
Leonis laughed and began cooking some meat, which we found earlier, over the fire. I really began wondering whose side Leonis was actually on. He didn't get on with either Silver or Sean and they were the only actual careers who were left. Jet and I were just in the career alliance, we were really from District 3.
"So, how long are you staying with us?" he asked us. I shrugged and turned to Jet for an answer.
"We'll probably stay until after the battles, so the final eight," he told him.
Leonis nodded and pursed his lips together, "Do you mind if I tag along then? I'm not too fond of the other two," he sighed and threw some wood into the fire, "I won't stab you in the back or anything, I promise," he whispered.
Jet tensed, "No, no offense Leonis but I don't really trust you," he spat.
Leonis laughed, "I don't trust you either, then again, I don't trust any of you," his eyes landed on mine for a moment before smiling.
I didn't have any problem with him coming along with us but If Jet didn't want him then I would have to go along with what he wanted. I smiled apologetically at Leonis but he didn't seem to notice.
Silver
I placed an arrow in my bow as I walked down a path waiting for any brave but stupid tributes to jump out at me.
I looked around sneakily but after a while I got bored and sat down by a tree. Who was left anyway? I guess I wouldn't know until the tributes who won the battles returned. Suddenly I heard a break in a branch and in seconds I was on my feet, bow in hand ready to shoot.
"Hello? Show yourself!" I ordered. I heard some heavy breathing and slowly began walking around the tree to see, no one was there.
I heard another snap of a branch behind me and turned sharply around. I saw them, the girl from Leonis' district and the District 6 boy. They both looked at me wide eyed. I smirked at them; neither of them would survive this. I wondered how Leonis would react to the killing of his District partner.
The girl form District 2 slowly lifted a sword, I laughed silently to myself. "You can't be serious can you?"
She whispered something to the young boy and suddenly he turned and began to run.
"I killed your ally so why not?" she smiled.
I understood that she killed Finley, what an embarrassing way to go for a career; she was killed by a non-career girl from a career district.
I watched the boy run away and I decided I wouldn't let him go, I aimed my arrow at him. The girl charged at me but before she reached me I released the arrow, it hit him straight in the back and I watched him crumble to ground.
Saffra
I stabbed Silver's thigh before seeing Griffin fall. I screamed out and ran over to him leaving Silver to fall over in pain. I ran to him to see him still breathing but only just. Tears began falling down my face uncontrollably. I had lost three allies and now I was the only one left.
"G-Griffin?" I sobbed. I closed my eyes and let the tears fall.
"Make sure, she doesn't win," he whispered, his voice dying with him. He coughed weakly. I moved around him and placed his head on my lap. I began stroking his head gently.
I remembered him up in the tree at the bloodbath, barely noticeable to the others. I remembered how he couldn't hold a sword, how vulnerable he truly was.
Looking down to him now, he always was just a vulnerable child. I had my eyes closed when the cannon fired.
This wasn't fair, he wasn't in a battle. He shouldn't have to die now.
I looked over at Silver to see her staggering off in the distance. I would let her leave, that cut was pretty bad; it would kill her eventually in one way or another.
I made myself look down at Griffin's lifeless body and I picked up his supplies before running away. Here I was now, Ally-less. I was on my own but I believed I could win, I had to do it; If not for myself; for all my dead allies.
I had lost count of how many were still alive but I knew we were almost done. I had past my expectations, I am alive and that is how I should stay.
