Chapter 6
I woke up with a terrible pain in my leg and feeling huge exhaustion.
I wall all wet and I was lying with my head on Paris's lap.
"What happened?" I asked.
"There was a tracker jakcer attack on the arena. You got sing three times."
"Water took off the sings but you were out for the night." He explained.
"Why is my leg hurting?" I asked.
"When you passed out you fell of the hill and broke it." He said.
I looked around and saw Orion sitting alone on the shore. He wasn't in the jungle during the attack like us. I remained myself one more thing,
Anne is dead.
I missed Anne already, she was from District 1 but she was a very good friend. She remained me of Eleanor.
She got electrocuted and then we left her during the insect attack.
"Who died except Anne?" I asked.
"Amber from 4, Serenade from 8 and Aspen from 7." Paris said.
"We don't have any medicine for you." Orion walked up to us.
There was sadness and pain in his voice.
"We'll surely get something soon." I said.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
"No, Anne is gone! She's dead and I wasn't there to protect her!" He screamed in pain.
"It's not your fault Orion." Paris said.
Orion was crying and shouting, we have never seen him like this before.
Suddenly, he took out a sword and pointed at his stomach.
"Orion, no!" I yelled, I tried to get up but I forgot my broken leg and fell down.
"I can't live without her," he cried.
"You can't do this!" Paris wanted to come closer to him.
"I didn't got to tell her that I love her," Orion said.
"I need to be with Anne."
Orion put the sword in his stomach and fell down.
"I-I l-love y-ou Anne-" he whispered and his cannon sounded.
...
Me and Paris didn't know what to say. It was just our two left out of four careers. I kept crying and Paris was stroking my hair as we watched the hovercraft taking Orion's body.
"It's just you and me blondie." He said.
I looked at his sapphire ring and at my ruby bracelet.
We're a team, we have to stick together.
The silence broke when we heard a communicate.
"Attention tributes! There will be feast in the Cornucopia! Each of you will receive a gift!"
Soon we noticed 5 small platforms with 5 packages appearing outside the Cornucopia.
Paris walked up to the two bags that had number two on them. In on of them there was medicine for my leg which he applied on my injury.
"We should so something with the other packages before anyone comes." I said.
"You're right, should we steal them?" He replied.
"Let's put one of those poisonous bananas in one of them." I said.
Paris did what I said. He took out the bread from bag with 9 and put the bananas in it.
We stole the packages from 12 and 5 but we left the 9 one.
After some time Luna from 9, came to take the package. We hided behind the boxes and watched her taking the trap.
She was starving so she immediately ate the food that was inside the package.
Then Luna fell on the ground and started screaming from stomach pain.
After some time a cannon fired.
No one else came to the feast. I guess it's because that they knew that we're here.
Only two people died that day.
Luna and Orion.
...
Next day we knew that there are four tributes remaining and that there's no time to lose.
My leg recovered so on day 5 we kept walking around the jungle.
I saw Victoria from 12 shooting arrows at us, I managed to avoid them.
I hit her with my knife which landed in her chest and immediately killed her.
"Paris!" I yelled as I saw that he had an arrow in his throat.
He fell down on the ground.
I cried, I begged him to stay with me.
"You have to win, blondie." He whispered and his cannon sounded.
There's only one thing I can do to make their deaths remembered.
I need to kill the last tribute on the arena.
It was hard because I saw smoke in the distance.
Stupid girl, made me know where she it.
Abby from 5 was sitting by the fire and I threw a knife at her leg.
She screamed but I put my foot on her mouth.
"Shut up." I said.
With no hesitation I kicked her into the fire.
Abby was screaming and begging me to end her. I just stared at her while she was burning alive.
I wanted to wait until she burns.
A cannon sounded and so did the communicate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the victor of 200th Hunger Games from District 2, Sasha Lopez!"
A hovercraft picked me up.
I felt like a queen; warrior and knight.
The warrior that had to suffer to win.
A knight that had to kill for victory.
A queen because I turned pain into power.
Sasha cam back to District 2 and became the first Quarter Quel victor from District 2. She also became the youngest victor in history of the games because she was just 12 when she won.
The Capitol let her live with her friend Eleanor instead of her parents when they found out that her parents are abusive. The Capitol named her "The young assassin" because of how brutal her kills were. She also started a new trend in the Capitol with wearing gemstone jewelry.
