PeterI waited for the countdown, letting out a small breath, before looking to Scarlett. Her eyes were trained in the middle of the Cornecopia and I shook my head 'no' to her. We couldn't risk going close to it. But she avoided my gaze and the timer beeped. I ran up alongside Scarlett, sprinting to the contents spilling out of the cornecopia, grabbing the two things I saw (full water bottle and a simple First Aid kit) first and began to flee. I turned my head as I was running. Oh, s***! I thought as I saw Scarlett trying to get into the Cornecopia. Involved in the bloodbath.
FaithI looked around, terrified, everything moving to fast for me. I felt my head spinning and I was so dizzy. I staggered, surprised I had not been killed yet, as the dizzyness overwhelmed me. As I began to fall, my outstretched hand fell on something. I looked up, meeting eyes with a surprised looking red-haired girl, and felt exploding pain through my face as her fist connected with my nose. I could feel the blood pouring down my face, and then for a split second I felt the axe plunge into my head. Then everything was still, warm, peaceful and black.
ScarlettI yanked the axe out of the young girl's head, feeling a bit of pity rise in my stomach. I couldn't afford to feel pity. I turned, holding the small axe I gripped in my hand, turning to the inside of the cornecopia. I narrowed my eyes. Go for it. I sprinted across, midly doging a throwing knife, and was stopped by a career with feathery brown hair. He had violence in his eyes, and out of impulse, my foot collided with his gut. He crouched over, winded by my blow, giving me just enough time to dart around him and grab the nearest pack of weapons. I'd done it. I was at the center of the Corncopia. But now I had to get out... I whipped around, running around the fighting tributes, slipping by ever so quietly. But then I felt fingers around my throat, choking me, hard. It was the tribute I'd kicked just seconds before. I could almost feel my face turning bright red as my urgency for air grew and grew.
AdrianI was breathing hard in anger, my hand clenched over the District 8 girl's throat. "Going somewhere?" I said venemously. Then, I saw the girl's eyes light up at something. I snickered. Death, maybe? But then I felt something dig into my shoulder and I yelled, letting her go and whipping around to see an older boy from what I recognized District 11, and the girl's ally. His eyes were wide with what he just did. I picked up the knife that he'd stabbed into my shoulder and thrust it into his chest. With the small sword, sleeping bag and spear he'd already obtained, he fled.
PeterI was falling. I could taste blood at my lips and I heard Scarlett's voice. "Go!" I said. "Just- Just go!" I could see her hesitantly looking at me. "Scarlett, you know that you're the only one who can make it!" I said. "Look at the state of me." She nodded once, quickly taking his things and running off. With a fuzzy mind, he remembered his promise to his sisters, Rosi and Jordyn, and their small, crying faces. And he thought two words. I'm sorry. Then everything blacked out.
