Chapter 5

After boys went back from their hunting we all were sitting in the Cornucopia.
We were all deep in our thoughts while Orion was fishing with his bow.

"Hey, stop!" Paris yelled out of sudden.
Bruce from 4 was stealing from our supplies. He even had our bread in his hand.
I threw my knife at his legs which made him fall down and drop the bread.
"Nice shot, blondie." Paris said as we all surrounded Bruce.
"It's not nice to steal." Anne told him.
"Please, don't kill me." He said.
"You're a swimmer aren't you?" Orion said as Paris stabbed Bruce's another leg.
"Y-yes." He groaned in pain.
"Alright then." Anne kicked him into the water.
"Swim." She commanded.
We were all laughing as Bruce pathetically tried to swim from under water with his stabbed legs.

After a few minutes his cannon sounded.

...

"Should we eat the food on the arena?" Paris asked.
"There's a lot of it." He added.
"We never know if something is poisonous." I said.
"She's right but we can find if they're poisonous." Orion said.
"How?"
"Okay so here's a plan," He started.
"Sasha and Anne will go and pick some food. Me and Paris will go and kidnap a guy from 11 to test it." He explained.
"Sounds good to me." I said.

The Capitol must liked our plan because we even received tape from the sponsors and some sleeping drugs in a small draft.

Me and Anne collected as many food as possible.
We found coconuts, bananas and mangos.
"I wish I could see the kidnapping part." I said disappointed.
"Me too but I guess the boys know what they're doing." Anne said.

Our four met in the Cornucopia when Emil from 11 was still sleeping.

He was tied up with tape and sitting next to a wall.
After two hours Emil finally woke up.
"You're awake finally." I said.
"What- what's happening?" He asked.
"We have couple of questions to you." Anne said and showed the fruits.
"You'll tell us if those are poisonous and you'll try them." Anne explained.
"Wait, you're the one who killed Poppy?!" He said, suddenly he sounded angry.
"Yeah." She answered.
"You bitch!" He screamed with tears.
Emil started shouting and shaking from anger. We were beating him but he didn't calm down. None of us wanted to kill him yet so we put him asleep again.

This time Emil was asleep for three hours. He finally opened his eyes and Paris splashed his face with water from the sea which made his eyes hurt.
"Is this poisonous?" Paris took a mango in his hand.
"I- I ha-te yo-u." He mumbled still half asleep.
"Answer us!" Paris slapped him.
"No, it's not." Emil said.
Anne cut of a half of the mango and forced Emil to eat it.

We waited some time and nothing happened.

We repeated the process with other fruits and every time he wasn't answering us or he was saying something about Poppy, we were beating him. He was so pathetic that we were all laughing at pain.
We had to put him asleep only one more time during the test.

When blood was spreading from his broken nose we asked about the last fruit.
"What about this banana?" Orion asked.
"It's deadly poisonous. Makes the victim die in terrible stomach pain." He answered.
"Hey Anne, do we have any more food to test?" Orion asked.
"No, that's all." She replied.
"Good."
Orion sliced the banana and forced Emil to eat it.
He immediately started screaming from pain. He was crying and shouting for half an hour. The I decided to put a knife in his back.
I put three of them and the started calmly lying on the ground like he got used to the pain.
"I- I l-ove y-ou Popp-y." He mumbled and his cannon sounded.
"Now we know what's poisonous what's not." Anne kicked off the bananas to the sea, purposely leaving two in case we need to poison someone.

...

Day 3 came and only three people died last day.
It made me realize that we are the biggest threat on the arena. We were the ones who killed all of the tributes on the arena for now.

This day me, Anne and Paris were on the hunting.

As we were walking throuh the jungle, something horrible happened.

Anne fell on the ground while screaming loudly.
We quickly realized that she got electrocuted by Twilight's from 3 trap.
"Anne!" Paris wanted to walk up to her but stopped because he didn't want to be next.
"Over there!" He pointed at Twilight who was coming throwads us.
With no hesitation I threw a knife at her head.
"Anne, no!" I started crying as Paris was holding back from coming near Anne.
She was still alive but she was in so much pain and shock that she couldn't talk or move.
I saw that her lips formed my name and Paris started warning me.
"Blondie, something is wrong."

The whole place started being filled with some kind of wasps.

Even worst; tracker jakcers.

Me and Paris started screaming as we were running out of the jungle.
The bugs were everywhere, it was like a rain.
I made a mistake and I was slapping the wasp that was sitting on my arm.
It immediately sting me.

I started feeling weird, I didn't hear anything that was around me.

Suddenly, the jungle disappeared.
I was at home and my parents were looking at me with stones faces.

Did I disappoint them?
I didn't lose yet.
What if I did?
What if I died and now they're disappointed at me?

Wherever I turned around, I saw them standing and looking at me with the same face.
I heard them screaming my name but their mouths weren't moving.

Did I fail?
Is it over?
Why can't you be sad after my death?

Why you don't love me, mum and dad?
