I had to do so much research for this chapter! But every time I post a new chapter I just get even more excited! And yes Blight will be in this, and please review!
She noticed a few people here and there, she saw Peeta but he didn't seem to notice her. But the main problem was she couldn't see Skulduggery.
He must be out of my view, she noticed the water and the beach and even the jungle, she didn't really know what to call it, she then looked toward the cornucopia, it had all sorts of weapons, and then she saw the sword.
She needed it desperately, it was the only weapon she could really use, and she just hoped she wouldn't find any trouble.
She noticed a voice coming through invisible speakers, and it was counting down.
10…
She had only a minim of time left; she had to give it all her strength
9…
If only she could see Skulduggery
8…
She couldn't even see Johanna! What was this, a mind game?
7….
She could just run towards the beach?
6…
But she would die out there without any weapons
5…
My decision was clear; I had to get that weapon
4…
I have to find Skulduggery
3…
And we had to survive
2…
No matter what!
1…
And then she dove, straight into the water, it was cold, but it felt nice against her skin. She broke from the surface and started swimming with all her might.
Once she reached the cornucopia she ran toward the sword, luckily there was a weapon belt, so she strapped it around her waist with the sword. She turned around and came face to face with a tall stumpy man. Gloss.
He was a career and was out for me, which I assumed.
He attacked and I dodged, he had a small but deadly knife, I wouldn't be able to deflect his attacks, so I had to do this with my hands.
I kicked him in the stomach but he grabbed onto my leg and swung me to the ground, as soon as I hit the ground I made a move to get up but he put his weight on me and pressed his knife to my throat.
He smiled in victory, but I quickly elbowed him in the side of his face, he started swinging his knife again and it caught me arm, which was now bleeding, but I focused my attention on Gloss.
There was no way I could fight him, I noticed I was close to the water, but if I did that I might not find Skulduggery I might not find anyone. But I didn't really have much of a choice.
I dived in the water and before I hit the water I saw the surprised expression on his face.
I swam to the beach and risked a quick peek at Gloss he seemed to be deciding his odds in jumping in after her or staying at the cornucopia.
He quickly turned to the other direction and ran towards the other side of the cornucopia.
I reached the shore and bolted to the jungle, I was quite beautiful. I would of taken time to look at this scenery if I wasn't in a life or death matter.
She only stopped when she almost ran into a tree; she sat down to catch her breath.
She was alone for now, she had to find Skulduggery, even Johanna or Finnick.
So set of walking.
Hours had passed and the sky got darker and then she heard a light rustle. She turned quickly in a fighting stance but there was nothing there. She started to walk again, but faster, the rustling became louder and then she was running. And then she slammed into something, no not something, someone.
She fell to the ground and tried to scurry back when she noticed whom she had bumped into. Johanna?
Johanna face was a mask of shock then she wore a twisted but comforting smile.
"Hey! You're alive!" I smiled slightly and noticed 3 people behind her, known as Blight, Beetee and Wiress, But no Finnick.
"Where's Finnick?"
"I think he's with Katniss and the others"
"Is Skulduggery with them?"
"I think so"
I nodded and soon we were all sitting down a resting. I hoped he was safe, away from harm, but really we had never been safe, we always made enemies.
She sighed and then started to drift off.
She was woken from her peaceful slumber by Johanna, who took the pleasure in kicking her awake. But she didn't really mind.
We started to move towards the back of the dome, well she thought it was a dome, I mean they wouldn't just place us in the middle of no-where.
Hours had passed and she was becoming dehydrated, they all were. They're top priority was finding water, but the more they walked the more she started to worry, it didn't seem like there was water anywhere.
They soon started to rest again, she looked up towards the sky to see that it was only mid-day, the day was hardly over, even though it seemed they had been walking for more than just a couple of hours.
And that was when it started raining.
She jumped up and so did the rest of the group, she started to feel her hope rising, but then that hope was gone.
She had cupped her hands, and instead of pure rainwater, it was a red substance that looked and smelled oddly familiar. Blood.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" shouted Johanna, "Blood rain?"
The rain started to fall harder, and they soon were covered in blood, they started to run, keeping close, but we were practically blind.
We were chocking on the stuff! And then she heard a zap. She could just make out Blight on the floor of the jungle. Dead.
She felt grief creep up to her heart, even though they hadn't talked she still felt sad about his death
They started to run the other direction, knowing that the way Blight had headed was certain death.
The blood was falling harder and harder and soon she found it hard to breathe. She realised that some of the others were screaming and shouting. Including myself.
I felt as if would collapse right there, I would die in the blood rain just like Blight. This was my end.
And then before I knew it, we were at the beach, and there was no blood rain, just the clear sky.
I fell to the ground and started coughing up all of that blood; the others were in the same state. And then she heard a shout.
"Johanna?"
And then a reply, "Finnick?"
There was more talking and she took her time to wipe her eyes of blood and stand up.
She saw Johanna and Finnick talking, and then she saw Katniss and Peeta walk out of a clearing and then following them was Skulduggery.
She froze, and so did Skulduggery. They started at each other for a while until Skulduggery started to run towards her and then enveloping her into a hug.
She hesitated and then circled her arms around his torso.
They parted and he looked at her up and down. "What happened?"
"Blood rain," I stated simply, he nodded but he didn't seem to really understand.
"I thought you were dead, I thought someone had killed you, when I couldn't find you I panicked. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I wasn't there."
He hugged me again burrowing he head into my neck, "its okay, I'm okay, you don't need to worry"
"But-
"No buts, you need to let go of the past, and move on."
He looked at me and smiled, "how is it that you are so good with words?"
"I got it from you" I smiled back.
Katniss had come over and she hugged me, "hi," was all she said, but I felt nice to see her again.
She then noticed Wiress spinning in circles saying tick-tock.
It must be from the shock.
The day went on and I started to wash off the blood in my hair and clothes while Katniss cleaned Wiress, she was still saying tick-tock and it had started to become irritating.
But she stayed.
Wiress continued and continued, "tick-tock it's a clock, it's a clock" and then Katniss froze and she silently whispered, "Oh my God it's a clock"
"Wiress you're a genius!" Katniss said "a genius!"
"What? What is it?"
Katniss turned to her, "the arena, it's a clock!"
