23. Night 1: Bullseye

Rouge's P.o.v

As I sat  down for the night I breathed a sign of relief.
I had survived the bloodbath.

I know I usually hold a tough face but I have my reasons.
I don't want my district to think I am weak.

Plus the death of my best friend a few years ago really changed me.
But nobody here knows that besides my district partner Topaz.

She knew me back before Bullseye died.

Back before the incident when I slashed Arabella's arm off. 
She thought it was a girl who did it at first but it was really me.

I wish I could apologize to her.
But she's dead.
Died in last years games.

I started a fire as I took a quick glance around.
Nobody is here.

I'll search for Topaz in the morning.
I'd rather be with her then alone.

That's when I heard a twig snap to my left.

Oh damn it. 

"Is somebody there? I asked, as I grabbed my axe.

A second later I felt an arrow hit my hand.

Valentine's Pov

As I wandered through the woods, I had seen a small light and I had decided to investigate it.
To my surprise it was Rouge the district seven male.
One of the toughest tributes in the game.
He was sitting by the fire and he looked pretty deep in thought.

I wasn't really a pro with the bow and arrows but it was one of the only items I had grabbed in the bloodbath.

I prepared the bow and aimed it hoping to hit his heart.

But I missed and the arrow was lodged into his hand instead.

I prepared a second arrow.

He was rolling on the ground in agony.

I never wanted my victims to feel pain.

I aimed the arrow and this one hit his leg.

"Sorry." I muttered onto my breath.

Bullseye, I need to hit something that will kill him.
I pull back the arrow and it hits him flat in the chest.

"Bullseye." I whispered as he collapsed to the ground.

He reached towards his neck and pulled out a small locket.

"Bullseye." He muttered as he died.

As I walk towards his body I see the locket he clutched tightly.
Inside was a photo of a small black dog with the name Bullseye written across it.

Oh the irony indeed.
