Marx Hunger Games

Part 4: "Tragic threesome" (21)

All the tributes spent days 3, 4, and 5 hiding, hunting for food, and looking for each other. All of  their supplies are packed, no tribute is left starving and all of their injuries from the bloodbath  and past confrontations have healed already so all of them are ready, just waiting for a tribute to  show up and battle. But no tribute is stupid enough to just litter in the woods care freely. All of  them are in for a wild ride. These three days were okay for the tributes but this is bad for the  Game makers. These three days of idleness made the games lose viewers quickly and losing  almost all viewers from District 5 because both of their tributes are out and back home.  

They  need to do something. District 6 tribute Sam was looking for District 14 tribute Mikee when he  felt a burning sensation in his back. Sam and Mikee shared an interest for each other during  training. Until they became good friends and one thing lead to another then Sam’s feelings for  Mikee elevated as he fell in love with her. But Sam has a problem. Another tribute, Ato from  District 11 also likes Mikee. Ato became Mikee’s unofficial training partner when they shared  the same interests in the same weapons, skills, strategy and found themselves training together as  if they were District partners. When Ato and Sam saw Mikee training with the other person,  jealousy took over and they found themselves in a competition for Mikee’s attention. They  would show their all in their training which lead to the both of them having the highest scores in  training and being two of the Game maker’s favourites. The Game makers know the thing that is  happening between these three and decided to put on a show for the audience in an effort to  regain audiences.

 Sam was walking in the woods when the felt the burning sensation in his back.  When he turned to check where the heat came from then he widened his eyes as he saw each tree  and bush behind him was catching on fire. He ran as fast as he can to avoid the fire and the  suffocating smoke that came with it. He managed to escape from the combustion for almost 5  miles until he found himself in a small clearing in the forest as if it was a mini arena. Not long  after he sat to catch his breath he saw another tribute came running in with a pack of tracker  jackers coming after him, it was Ato. When Ato reached the clearing he was left by the tracker  jackers because the smoke tranquilized the oversized insects as if the smoke and the insects were  perfectly planned to join them together. Which it was. “Of all the tributes I can be with, why  you?” Sam said with clear irritation in his voice. “Just the one that I was looking for. Perfect  timing” Ato replied while pulling out his sword. “Let’s finish this. We both know only one of us  can love Mikee and it’s gonna be me” Ato bragged. “You’re dreaming, career. Let’s do it. I’m  not afraid of you.” Sam replied while pulling out his warm sword fresh from the fire. Without  any signal Ato swung his sword and targeted for Sam’s skull. Sam quickly deflected this with his  sword and both of them struggled to break free from the clash. Ato managed to cut sam in his  side but Sam already injured Ato in his leg. With both of them having a serious injury, the  swordfight got slower but the intensity of each blow is still as intense as the first blow. The joust  continued for thirty gruelling minutes, both of them losing so much blood that they started  blacking out. In a last attempt to kill the other tribute, both of them pulled their strengths for a  final blow. Both of them recognized where the blow will go by the position of their arms they  just hope that their strike will land first. In a swift stroke both swords entered each other’s chests  and pierced through each other’s hearts. They receded their swords as they knelt to the ground,  with eyes widened and coughing blood when they heard a familiar voice shouting.

It was Mikee being chased by tracker jackers. Like Ato, she entered the clearing as the insects became  harmless. Ato and Sam looked at Mikee as she was shocked to see the two people falling to the  ground with two big holes in their chests. “No!” Mikee desperately shouted as her eyes filled up  with tears as she knelt beside the two dying bodies. She brushed their hair and wiped the tears off  their faces as they slowly lose consciousness and drift away.   As about they were about to die, Mikee uttered the words “Don’t leave me, I love you” both of them thinking the words were intended for themselves they died in peace as two cannons fired consecutively. Mikee losing two good friends spent a long time beside the two corpses crying hysterically until the Game makers  had to force her out of the clearing to take the two bodies of the fallen tributes.
