Chapter 5

We arrived at the Spring island.

There were many flowers there and it was surprisingly warm. We started walking and suddenly I felt burning pain in on my ankle.
I screamed from pain and tried to find the couse of it.
"It's the flowers they what burns you. Don't move!" Evelyn said, she had her ankles covered with her suit so she wasn't affected.
"Take them away!" I said.
"Borrow me your robotic arm!"
"What?"
"I have to pick them but I can't touch them."
I gave her the arm and she used it to take the flowers away.
"Thanks." I said.
"It's okay." She gave me my arm back and I put it on.
"Let me help you."
Evelyn helped me walk to the cave where it was safe from the flowers.
"Water should help but we don't have any." She said.
"The tap, put it in the tree." I said when I was sitting and almost crying from the pain.
Evelyn did what I said and put the tap in the lying tree.
Immediately water started coming out of it. She put the cold water on my feet that was covered in burn scars.
"It should stop the pain but it won't make them disappear." She said.

Then we got a package with medicine for my burns that came from Evelyn's sister. She put on my feet and we ate some bread and drank some water.

As we fell asleep, I saw the fallen tributes on the sky.

Derek from 11
Arianna from 2

7 people left.

...

Next day, we were hunting for food.
There were a lot of bunnies on the Spring island.
"That should be enough." Evelyn said as she put the bunnies in the backpack.
"Alright, so are we going to the summer island now?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure."

We went to the Summer island.
The last that we haven't been on.
We heard two cannons but we didn't bother by it.
Summer island was very warm. It was extremely hot.
"Luckily we have the water tap." Evelyn said.
"Yeah, we need to stay hydrated in this weather." I added.
"Unlike this girl." Evelyn pointed at Jasmine from 7 who was lying dead on the ground probably died from dehydration.

We kept moving as I saw something terrifying.
It was Melody whose body was hanging on a rope around her neck.
"Melody!" I yelled and ran up to her.
Evelyn helped me take her off but it was too late.
"Her cannon already fired, there's nothing we can do." Evelyn said as I was crying over Melody's body and begging her to wake up.
"Melody never want to be here. She was so terrified from the beginning." I said.
"She decided to give up." Evelyn added.

After a moment of silence, Evelyn did the four finger symbol that is popular in District 12.
I did the same.

...

We came back to the Spring island.

We set the burning flowers around the cave so no one can get in.
After some time we were about to fall asleep.
The fallen tributes appeared on the sky:
Jasmine District 7
Melody District 3
Jason District 1

I wonder what happened to Jason.
Now there are two careers left.
4 people left one the arena.

...

The fourth day came.

"Evelyn, you're awake?" I asked.

She immediately went from behind me and tried to attack me with her sword. I was in shock but I threw her into the burning flowers next to cave.
Evelyn was screaming from the pain as the flowers were burning her skin.
"I'm sorry, Jasper. I had to try to win, I really wanted to see my family again." She said as she started crying.
"I forgive you."
"Jasper, stab me please, make my death less painful." She said.
I didn't want to kill her but I didn't want her to die in pain.
I took my knife and threw in her chest.

A cannon fired.

I wanted to break out and cry but I heard a communicate.
"Attention tributes, the islands will soon sink. The only place that you can hide in is the Cornucopia."
When I heard that I realized that they'll probably do it in the year order, which means Spring island will go first.

I immediately sprinted out of the Spring island.
Right when I got to the Cornucopia, the Spring island sank.
Then Summer island sank.

Out of Autumn island Daron from 2 and Amy from 1 came out.
As they were running Daron threw Amy to the water and a cannon sounded.
I hid behind the Cornucopia.
My heart was racing, it was just me and him. I tried to look for something helpful in my backpack and found the burning flower that got attached to the backpack.

"There you are." Daron found me.
He started attacking me with his sword. It was hard for me to escape but I was doing my best.
Daron easily cut my robotic arm in half.
Even though I threw the burning flower on his face.
He screamed from pain and I stabbed his head with knife.

A cannon fired.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce you Jasper Peterson form District 3! The victor of the 150th Hunger Games and the 6th Quarter Quel!"
I couldn't believe it.
The hovercraft came and I was finally going home.

Jasper came home to his father and friends. Jasper made up with his father. He found out that Abby committed suicide right after Melody died. Jasper was later stabbed by Arianna's father during one of the interviews. Luckily Jasper survived.
Jasper was really traumatized by the games and refused to have another robotic arm because it remained him of the games. This way Jasper was living without one hand.
