53rd Hunger Games

[Mia106]

Chapter 20

I left the lovebugs on the roof, and snuck onto the elevator. I clicked a button and the elevator went down, but not to floor 1. Instead, I made the elevator stop on the 4th floor.
I snuck through the kitchen, fish and pie were still on the table from dinner, and the living room, the tv on low volum so the sound as barely audible, a rerun of the 34th hungers games where playing, and got to the bed rooms. I noticed an opened door, and Colton's body laying on the bed, covered with sea blue blankets. I climbed in silently and snuggled closer to his body. The heat from him made me sleepy, and I soon found my self drifting off. Before I was completly asleep, I felt Colton shift and a thick blanket was drapped over me. A gentle kiss was placed on my cheek, and I fell asleep.
I didn't have any dreams about Lucy, Rose, or even the Hunger Games. Instead I dremt of Colton. His hair blowing in the wind, the gleam in his blue eyes from when we first became allies, the way he moved when sparring with John, the black curls of his hair tickiling my neck from whenever he would bend down to get something. In my dream we sitting ontop of the water, looking out at the boats and fish infront of us. We didn't talk at all, but just him being by my side was enough.
What a cruel world. Everyone I love has or will be taken away from me. Rose, Lucy, my parents, and now Colton and the rest of my allies. I tried not to think about it.
The following day I was awoken by a rough tap on my shoulder. Colton's mentor was there, a girl about 30 years old with green eyes and a plump body, her blond hair was cut above her ears.
"Who invited you?" She sneered.
"Uh" I said back, still half asleep.
"You can't just come in another tribute's room uninvited! I'll tell Zachary and have you killed!" She shouted at me, awaking me fully.
Luckily she also awoke Colton.
"I invited her, we're were working on a game plan when we fall asleep, sorry" He lied. Lucky for me he was a quick thinker.
"Well get her out of here! The games are in a hour!" She snapped, not even mentoining her name. I think it began with a B.
As I scurried out the door, three people pushed past me, wearing leopord print furs and white hair. His prep team I guessed.
I hurried to the elevator, and once I got to my floor, my prep team swarmed me. The fixed my hair and did my nails a dark shade of brown.
"Brown?" I asked, usually they would make me pink.
"We need you to blend in, and there is almost always forest in the arena" Said Cullo as she finished my left hand.
Keke worked on my hair, and Mullo showed me a platic gray jump suit. As they helped me into it, Cinna and his mom entered.
"Good luck, and by the way, my name is Amy" said my styliest.
I smiled at her, my jumpsuit was to big, but it would do. I walked outside just as the hovercraft came, Tom was already there. I tried to find Colton but two game makers led me on the hovercraft and strapped me in next to Tom and Paige. They grabbed my right arm and stuck a needle in it. I tried to hide the pain, since Tom and Alicia were on both sides of me.
"What's that?" John said as the stuck the needle into his arm.
"A tracker, to know where you are" said a female game makers said with a soft voice.
I smiled at him, trying to make him happy.
The hovercraft landed and we all got out, they split us up and led us to the underground, we were all alone besides out styliest in the underground station.
"Be careful out there" said Amy and she hugged me briefly and led me to a tube made of glass leading above ground.
I stepped the tube and forced a smile at her, the floor on the tube lifted me up, and Amy disapeered.
The arena apeared, waves splashed over my feet, the cornacopia in the middle, gleaming in the sun.
I look across the waves of the ocean, I saw him. His blond hair blows in the wind. His brown eyes alert and focus, ready for anything. I stared into his eyes, and he stares back. He gives a thin smile, a smile that one might think was friendly, but that person wouldn’t have known us. That smile, that was the smile of someone who would do everything in their power to make sure that you don’t get out of here alive.

I could hear the clock ticking down.
"10" said a robotic voice.
"9" said the robot again.
"8" it said again
"7" and again.
"6" once again.
And then a defining boom that sent a disimbodied hand fly just over my hand, a cannon blasted, and I knew what that ment. Someone stepped off their platform, I looked and saw it was the dsitrict 7 boy.
I should have felt sorry for him, why didn't I feel sorry for him?

Chapter 21

Nobody moves, not even the careers. We are all trying to regain our thoughts. The blast from the cannon weakend my the hearing in my left ear, but it was slowly coming back to me. The boy died, maybe by accident, maybe he commited sucide, he was just one less tribute that I needed to worry about.
Before I got my act together, I felt a strong body shove me into the water. I let out a yelp as the ice cold water soaked through my jump suit. The water stung my skin, and I started to become numb. I splashed around like a fish out of water, and started to sink. The person could have drowned me, but luckily, that person was my allie.
Colton acted the quickest of all the tributes, he jumped in the water and got one of the 12 canoes, a backpack, two sword and about 5 or 6 throwing knives.

Chapter 21

Nobody moves, not even the careers. We are all trying to regain our thoughts. The blast from the cannon weakend my the hearing in my left ear, but it was slowly coming back to me. The boy died, maybe by accident, maybe he commited sucide, he was just one less tribute that I need to worry about.
Before I get my act together, I feel a strong body shove me into the water. I let out a yelp as the ice cold water soaks through my jump suit. The water stings my skin, and I start to become numb. I splash around like a fish out of water, and start to sink. The person can drown me easily, but luckily, the person is Colton.
Colton acted the quickest of all the tributes, he jumped in the water and got one of the 12 canoes, a backpack, two sword and about 5 or 6 throwing knives. Colton throws me onto his canoe, and climbs in next to me, holding the backpack and swords in his hands.
"Paddle to Mia and John! Now!" Colton shouts in my ear as he hands me a paddle and points to the other side of the cornacopia where my two district 12 allies are clinging onto their platforms. I never used a canoe before, but Colton did. He must have used them all the time to go fishing in district 4. I followed Colton's lead with the canoe, trying not to slow us down. He gets to the spot where Mia and John were last, and jumps out of the canoe. For a brief second I allow myself to look around the arena.
I see that I am in a pond, surronded by a dense forest. The pond was salty, and ice cold. The capitol must have done something to it to keep from freezing. Besides for the splashing around of the tributes, the pond was still. All around the circular pond, I saw they're little streams rushing into the pond, 12 of them all together. The streams were starting at the other side of mountains, and I can hear birds chirping from above.
I turn around to see if any of my allies were coming. I was greated by a huge bird, a little smaller then John, but not by that much. The bird is black, but its beak is blood red. It sinks its razor sharp talons into my shoulder, easily breaking my shirt. This is the end, I know it. The bird flapped its mighty wings, and started carrying me off the canoe. I give a scream, hoping to draw attention of anyone, allie or foe. A knife wizzes past my ear, and clips the bird's beak, doing no real damage. I can't look down to see the person, though I hope they weren't aiming that knife at me. Two more knives come, a little further from my body, and one finds its way into the birds chest. The bird let out a sound, I'm not so sure if it was pain, anger, or even confusuion. Anyway, the bird dropped me. I give a shriek as I land hard on my back in the water. I am knocked out cold.

I wake up in the forest, the rushing streams can be heard in the distance. I am naked, my body is next to a small, almost smokeless fire. I can see my clothes on the other side, being dried out. I notice 3 other pairs of clothes next to mine. I sit up, confused and cold, leaves were wrapped around my shoulders to stop the bleeding, but my wounds still hurt. My back ached from my fall, and my head is spinning. The water from the pond still damped my hair, though my skin was dry enough.
"Good to see you're alive" says a naked Colton as he appears by my side. "You're welcome, by the way"
"You're naked" Is all I can manage to mumble out. "And I am too."
"Well, with saving your life and all, I thought I should get a reward." Colton said, but upon seeing my horrified reaction, he quickly adds, "I'm kidding, you would have froze to death if we didn't take off your clothes, don't worry, Mia was the one that undressed you."
I give a nod and look around, Mia and John were warming up by the fire, John had a cut on his knee, and Mia had a knife wound on her cheek, but they were alive.
Sophie and Nick were no where to be seen.
