Vikk

They walked into the cave where they had thought Vikk was, Lachlan drifting in and out of consciousness. Jerome was scared. Mitch just shrugged. Seeing his bacca upset made him wonder. Lachlan had just saved his life, but he was the reason his life was in danger. He growled and clutched the wooden sword tighter. The boy was another tribute, after all. What was so special about him! He rolled his eyes, knowing not to question. Jerome held the kid close as they entered the cave. The pitch blackness was eerie, adding to the worry Mitch. It felt too much like a trap. The shadows seem to move. Mitch jumped back, protecting Jerome and Lachlan. The shadows became lighter and appeared as a person. Vikk rushed forward and grabbed Lachlan. "What happened! What happened to him!" Mitch shrugged. "He almost got me killed, then killed Rob..." Vikk smiled "Yeah, I heard the cannon but why is he hurt!" His eyes glazed with tears. Jerome shot a look at Mitch, growling. "He's lucky I didn't rip his head off. Aren't you Mitch!" Jerome growled. Vikk was knelt down by Lachlan. He checked his arms and legs and saw a huge cut down his leg. Jerome gasped. "Mitch!" He screamed and leapt at him, punching and swearing. Vikk rolled his eyes and bandaged Lachlans leg up. He woke Lachlan up and brought him to one side. "You silly idiot, why did you trust Rob?" He said, sighing. Lachlan shrugged and winced in pain. The bandages were already covered in blood. There was a scream and silence and the cannon boomed. Mitch laid bloody on the ground, lifeless. Jerome had a startled look on his face. There was a wooden sword lodged in Mitchs chest. "It was anger, I swear!" Jerome said, fighting back tears. Lachlan limped over to the body. Mitchs cold, lifeless face was splattered in blood. Vikk looked down. "Biggums! Wake up!" Jerome wept. He took his bacca hat off and laid it on his old friends body. Lachlan and Vikk huddled around Jerome and gave him a glimmering, blue gem. "He would've wanted you to have it." Vikk said, reassuringly. Jerome shook his head in disbelief. He killed his best friend. He didn't want to go on. Looking up, he shook his head. "Leave me....please. I'll only kill you." Jerome said. Vikk and Lachlan looked at each other and picked Jerome up. They dragged him towards the cave entrance to find two figures, Pete and his teammate, Choco. Vikk bit his lip. Lachlan and Jerome were in no state to fight, he thought. However, Jerome had other plans.
