Chapter 4

Another day came, I started getting used to heat and sleeping on hard ground. I enjoyed Ryan's company, he made me forget about the games.
"We're running out of food." Ryan said and showed last peace of bread.
We have been getting sponsors but we can't wait for them to send us more, we have to do something.
"You can have it." I said.
"Really? But what about you?"
"I'll be fine. Eat it and we'll go steal something."
Ryan ate the bread and we went outside.
"Do you smell that?" Ryan said.
"Smell what?"
"I don't it's like blood."
As soon as he said that, blood started falling of the sky. It was in huge amounts that we couldn't breathe or see properly.
"Ryan, run!" I yelled.
I couldn't see him but I started running towards nothing. I was hoping that I will find a shelter. I heard a canon and then another.
"Ryan!" I yelled as loud as I can. I then fell on the rocky ground and felt the huge pain in my left leg.
The blood rain stopped and it took me a minute to actually see something.
Smell of blood was everywhere, blood itself was on everything and everyone.
"Mason!"
I saw Ryan standing in the distance, he was covered in blood but happy to see me.
"Ryan!" I tried to get up despite the pain in my leg. I noticed his arrows and a bow near me, he probably dropped it during the rain.
Ryan started running towards me but a tribute appeared behind him. With  a quick move he cut his throat.
"No!!" I shouted as the canon sounded. I took the bow and shot the boy's head.
I got to Ryan's body and hugged it close. I started crying, another person that I cared about died. First Alvin, then Tris, then Janette and now Ryan.
I felt hate for the Capitol, I wanted to kill every single person who had anything to do with creating Hunger Games ever.

Ryan's body got taken away and I was alone on this stupid arena.

...

Everything felt empty without Ryan. I wasn't even walking around the arena because of the pain in my leg. I got a bug of nuts from sponsors and a bottle of water.

I just kept repeating in my head

My name is Mason Bell
My home is District 1
My siblings died in the games so did the love of my life
I'm in 250th Hunger Games
I hate Hunger Games

...

I didn't even noticed when another day came. I finally got medicine for my leg, when I was able to walk I took my spear and Ryan's bow.
When I was walking around, I still was in the blood, I didn't have a place to wash it off.
Suddenly, I noticed William. I totally forgot about him but he was still alive. He was stabbing Adam from 7. After Adam's canon sounded, I spotted something small on his leg. It was a scorpion that stung him.
William started screaming from pain and that's when I walked up to him. William wasn't even trying to kill me, he just looked at me.
"Kill me." He whispered.
I decided to do it and I stabbed him in the heart.

...

I couldn't sleep that night. Flashbacks were coming one after the other. Ryan's body, the blood rain, my siblings' deaths, William's last wish. I then remained myself that there are four tributes left on the arena including me. I didn't waste any time and got up. I saw the fallen tributes on the sky and I knew that it's day 9 now.
I started looking for other tributes.
I quickly found Callum from 8, he was sleeping so peacefully. I cried as I had to stab him in the head.

A canon sounded, that probably woke everyone up. Good.

Angus from 11 noticed me and ran to me. I tried to shoot him but I missed. He threw a knife at my arm, despite that I pulled him by legs. Then with one move I stabbed him in the stomach.

Just when I got up and heard a canon, I felt something in back.

It was spear. Lochlan's spear. Spear of the guy that we completely ignored because we thought the he was too weak.

I fell on the ground and the world started getting blurry.
"It's over, Mason." He started walking near me.
"N-no." I mumbled.
With my shaking hands I took a bow and pointed an arrow at Lachlan.

...

I wasn't sure if I shot him but when I woke up in Capitol's hospital, I knew that I did.

Me, Mason Bell from District 1. I won the 250 Hunger Games and the 10th Quarter Quel.

Mason returned to District 1 but decided to move into the Capitol. He became addicted to alcohol but he managed to live till being 80. He didn't have any lovers or kids. None of his family members volunteered for the games ever again.
