Okay so I was on vacation and couldn't update. I am back now so here's the next chapter. From now on there will be 1-3 long POV's in each chapter. Disclaimer today will be done by Phoenyx Moore. And if anyone didn't notice I changed my penname to HPHGPJGONE
PS. Friday is still the update date I had something for school last night and was only able to write half of this.
Phoenyx: HPHGPJGONE does not own The Hunger Games. All HPHGPJGONE can claim as their own is the name HPHGPJGONE.
Me: Nice job.
Silk Hegry's POV
I am awoken by the sound of a cannon. I turn around thinking someone is near me. No one's there though, except the 3 tributes who are both asleep entangled in each other's arms.I'm safe in this cave. For now. As long as they are asleep. Maybe I should leave. But I want some of their food. They have nice warm Capitol food. While trying to fall back to sleep two more cannons go off. I try not to think about it. It's not me. I'm down to the final eight now though. Thinking of that I fall back asleep.
I wake up the next morning hungry. That's what happens though when you get use to Capitol food and then have to go back to crackers. I take a glance over at the sleeping pair. I could do it. I could steal their food. But...what if they wake up? I can't risk that. Maybe I could hide some more and wait for them to come out. Once they come out I could follow them. Yeah. And then tomorrow I could steal their food when they are asleep. They're asleep now but they could wake up I mean...
My stomach growls. I tell it to shut up and then grab my pack. Rummaging through it I find a granola bar. Smiling I open it and pop it into my mouth. The gooey chocolate chips are good. I needed the sugar. But I need more. I can't just eat a granola bar. Man I wish I had went to the hunting station at the training center. I didn't even think it would be useful. I mean I'm a career we don't hunt. We kill and then have all the gear.
But I haven't killed someone yet. Except for Sapphire. No, I didn't kill her. I just drugged her...and left her. Maybe if I hadn't left her, maybe she would still be alive. No! She tried to kill me, I was protecting myself right? No, this is all confusing. Whatever it's probably what my mentor Harp was referring to as the mid-games melt down. Yeah. Definitely. So this is actually a good thing. I'm one step closer to winning this thing.
Silk Hegrey victor of the 33rd annual hunger games. I like the sound of that. Heck I could take anyone on right now, Leigha and Austin, whoever's left of the careers, and even Nathaniel. Man he scares me but I could beat him. I'm a career. Imagine it. I'm gonna win this thing and go home. I think I'll go wake up Austin and Leigha. Show them how awesome district 1 is. Yeah I can still do this.
I walk over to them and see them sleeping peacefully. It would be wrong to kill them in their sleep, so I'll just wake them up. See how they like a little surprise I like to call "Silk kick but." Just as I am bending over to wake them up I remember what my sisters said.
"Silk we're proud of you for getting into the games. We love you just don't do anything stupid." Would this count as stupid? Yeah probably. But you know what I don't care. Wait but I think I should be smart first. I only have a spear. Austin has a sword. Looking around I see his sword laying near him on the ground. Quickly I scoop it up and throw it I kick Austin awake.
"Huh!" Austin reaches for a sword that's not there. Wasting no time I grab my spear and he grabs his knife. I didn't know he had a knife. Shoot. I begin thrusting my spear at him and he starts trying to slice my spear in half with his knife. Not gonna work. Man I wish I had some rope.
"So Austin how's your pretty little girlfriend gonna act when she finds you dead? Huh?" It's not a very good taunt but it got him mad and distracted. I disarm him and corner him against the wall. See I can kick but. I have the "Silk Kick But" move. Austin doesn't. All Austin has is the "Austin get's his but whooped" move.
"Any last words for the camera Austin?" This is perfect. I wonder what he'll say.
"Actually I do Silk. My favorite color is blue." I start laughing. That's all he has to say? Ha. Wow what a dumbo. That's when I'm kicked in the back. I fall face forward onto the floor. Austin jumps up and takes his knife back.
"Thanks, but next time if you'd like to use my knife just ask." Austin says. No. This isn't right how'd I fall? I turn around and see Leigha smiling.
"It's called being kicked. Don't hurt my boyfriend or else I'll just make sure your death is 100% more painful than it would be otherwise. Don't worry though. Austin's a softy. He may look tough but he's merciful. Austin?"
"Yes my love?" Oh no. This isn't going right.
"Fetch the rope I have something special in mind for this little boy." Little? What does she think I'm 11? No I'm 12. Austin salutes to Leigha and goes over to their stuff to get what I'm guessing is a rope. He comes back to soon.
"Tie him up, I don't want him not coming with us." Austin nods and steps towards me. I feel my arms being grabbed and tied behind my back. Then he ties my legs together. I try to break free but the knott's too tight.
"Where are we taking him Leigha?" Oh no he's picking me up. Not good.
"I have a particular place in mind for him. Carry him behind me and I'll show you." Austin lifts me over my shoulder as if I weigh no more than a sack of potatoes. Leigha walks towards the shore with Austin and me in tow. I am carried out to a rock near the water. The ground is wet which is a bit odd. I didn't know it had rained. Leigha instructs Austin to tie me to a rock.
"Make sure his legs and arms are still tied them tie him up. And leave him." Haha I'll get a chance to escape. They'll just leave me. Austin looks confused but doesn't question Leigha.
Once they leave I try to break free. The knot gets tighter though and harder. I keep struggling but it doesn't work. And they have my knife so I can't cut myself. Then I have no pack because I left it in the cave. Without realizing. It I fall asleep. When I wake up I am shocked to see the water is up to my chest. The sun is setting. If I can't break free I might be among the fallen.
I keep struggling. The ropes keep getting tighter. The water keeps getting further up. My neck. Oh no. The anthem plays. I look up and see the faces of Max, Phlox, and Black. Realizing I stand no chance I begin talking.
"Mom, Dad I obviously stand no chance here. I'm gonna die. I love you. And you know that time were your nicest dress got burnt mom? That was me. I was trying to make pancakes but it didn't work. I'm sorry. And Dad I'm sorry that you'll never get to see your son get married or have a job, or get drunk. I love you guys and I always will be with you. Mace, Jayde the three of us best friend for life. Well I'll always be there with you. Right besides you. And if either of you go into the games good luck. I will be with you. Best friends for life and death. And Dalia, Drew; I'm sorry for pissing you off all the time and I love both of you even if we always pretended not to. I'm sorry for doing that something stupid. You were right even if you are hopeless cases you were still right. Doing stupid things can get you killed. I love you all and remember me as Silk Marble Hegry. Don't think of this as my death think of it as me leaving for a very, very long time. Goodbye. See you sometime else."
I take a last gulp of air until I go under. I don't struggle. I just close my eyes and await death. I think of all the good times with Mace, Jayde, Dalia, Drew. And my crush Macy Leonard. She never knew I liked her. I didn't tell her because I didn't want her to feel broken. I open my eyes for one last look at the world before darkness envelopes me.
Okay so I know that this wasn't as long as other chapters but this felt like a good place to end this. If you haven't let me know what sponsor gift your tribute wants in the feast and a note from a family member.
